I had silicone case for a year now and few days back I ordered the hard case exactly the same as the one in the first post, so I'm wondering how come it's possible to get scratches cause my phone snaps in there pretty hard and I don't see it moving or anything? Did you push it out of it or something?

Oh no please don't use the hard case nooo I didn't do anything...I just removed the cover coz I had to remove the battery, then I saw there were scratches even on the silver strip I ordered a silicon gel case

I'll try it out a bit cause I can't see phisically how could scratches be made... There's nothing on the inside that would scratch the phone, if I want to remove the case I don't push the phone I spread the cover with my hands so phone just comes out, and phone looks smoother with it, dunno, maybe in a couple of weeks I'll be cursing this day but I have to try it out, maybe I'm lucky and it won't get scratched

Yeah try it out and see may be it'll be perfect for u me neither pushed or anything, jist removed it carefully while spreading either sides away.. and these scratches doesn't seem like something caused by sliding or anything.. even I can't think of a reason why would this happen lol I sent the seller a message through ebay but no reply yet lol anyways wish u luck with the case
And yes phone looks really good with it stunning!

Best case possible for a cheap price! $5.85!

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-SENSATION...UR4W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1338474641&sr=8-2
Hey guys, I just bought this case a few days ago... It's amazing. I paid $5.85 for the case and it was TOTALLY worth it. This thing is easy to grip, fits well, has all the cut outs in the perfect locations. I almost bought an otter box for $25 but I am glad I decided not to.. I NEVER use cases on my phones because I am always so careful with them, however, I don't think this one will ever come off.

You can get those off Ebay from China for less than $3.00 shipped. Of course...you'll be waiting on it for some time.
For the money, they're great cases. IF you're looking for bare minimum scratch protection, this is it.
I wouldn't expect it to protect much in a drop, however. There's no padding, just thin rubber/tpu.

I just bought this case, so I'm hoping you guys didn't steer me wrong. Also bought the Skinomi tech skin, hope that's worth it and will keep my baby from sustaining any more scratches
Sent from my Sensation 4G using XDA
This case rocks. Slim, protects well, and dirt cheap. Along with the Skinomi screen protector (which due to an annoying installation means that I permanently have a small hair underneath), this phone is now complete. I feel way safer moving forward with it now that I have this case. Only complaint is that it took a day longer than stated to ship.

[TIP] Avoid camera scrathes

So the first thing I found when I bought this phone is that the camera is sticking out of the back of the phone a bit too much. It looks nice, but it gets scratched if you're addicted to wearing jeans. So I saw a spare screen protector laying around so I thought of this and just wanted to share.
Use a hole punch. Here is what I did.
1. Cut a screen protector in a strip ( not necessary its just my hole punch sucks at hole punching)
2. Punch a hole. ( if your hole punch is like mine take off the other layer of the screen protector so it actually punches a clean hole).
3. Clean up the camera and apply the protector. ( it won't fill the camera hole completely but it covers the part that the camera uses to "see" out of.
4. Enjoy a scratch free camera!
Pictures: ( the last ones are just to show that pictures still turn out fine...even with terrible resizing.)

Meh. This is my 5th HTC device, and I've never put any in a case. Just a personal preference, of course. But I think its a bit silly that so many people like to keep their phone in a case in order to keep the phone exterior in nice condition, when they never see the exterior or the phone (its always covered by the case).
If you switch devices frequently, and the objective is to keep the phone in good condition for resale, that I can see. But that is also something I've never done. I still own every smartphone I've ever bought!

yeah for me cases ruin the beauty of any phone (except for the iphone...cases actually make it look better). The reason people probably wouldn't have thought of this is because most people dont have screen protectors sitting around. The only reason i have them is because i bought the phone at Costco and they gave me 2 "universal" (aka piece of *#%) ones that i wasn't going to use anyway.

Okay I wanted to give everyone even a better update.
At Radio Shack you can buy the old invisible shield kits for old phones they have them marked down to .97 cents! now don't be rude and buy them all lol this will give you a few tries to cut the circle haha. Enjoy! :good:
I'd use an old stick of lip gloss to act as a stencle and try cutting out a perfect circle with an exacto knife. Alternatively, a pen cap might work.

Ionic Guardian case still 75% off at Amazon

This case is still on sale on Amazon at around $15 incl delivery. Quite a few people have reported delivery issues (delays, cancelations, etc) but from what I've seen the people that have the case are pleased. Just so you know the case cones in two pieces (thanks All__fun). I think if someone wants a cheap but theoretically durable case, this is a good starting point. If you don't mind waiting.
It is nice and well made. It is definitely the bulkiest case I've had as of yet. Also it's difficult to charge using the lg wcp700. It works but has to be put on the charger precisely.[/QUOTE]
All__fun said:
let me just add,
That after having the phone with no case for about a week now,
adding this case truly adds girth to the phone.
Previously the phone would slide easily in and out of my pocket,
you can't tell in the picture, but the case is actually a 2 piece case, a soft inner case, that the phone slides into, and a hard outer cover that gives the phone it's design. (the white, black, pink, or blue distinction.)
This is probably the best case out right now for the phone, but I can't stress enough how thick and bulky the phone is now. If you are willing to sacrifice it's sleek design, this case offers good protection.
I don't have a screen protector on right now, so I cannot add whether or not this peels off or interferes with the protector.
I will also add that with the Ionic case on, when looking at the lock screen, I find it more difficult to swipe left and right between different lock screens. I have a screen lock pattern, and that registers my finger strokes rather than a swipe to a different lock screen.

can anyone who ordered it (from amazon) post these qustions on the product's page? i can't since i haven't made a purchase via amazon yet.
1. is there a speaker cutout?
2. are there optional dust plugs for it?
3. if it's on stock on dec 17, will it arrive to NY before christmas?
thanks!
a seperate question: did anyone find a drop test with this case? i don't seem to find anything on youtube, i couldn't even find an official site.
fugly
i have to agree with the rest of you that it is one fugly case. ugh the price of protection.
If you hating on the circles just get black?
I ordered a blue one just because I'm board of black. I will let you how it is when it comes.
Perhaps the cutouts allow it to cool a bit and also make it lighter.. I don't think it looks bad.
As long as proximity works and the USB and head phone jacks are open I would buy it..

Possibly the uglies case I may have ever seen. But in terms of protection, it looks promising. For ten bucks I would order one right now, if Amazon would accept PayPal. Anyone know of a way to bypass?

I saved you guys from buying this and I only picked it out because it looked like it would be a nice fit but obviously turned out to be kind of ugly, I am thinking once the bumpers come back in stock Ill switch to a clear back seeing that the front is really clear so it should look nice.
I have used all the major companies and this is my favorite screen protector so far.
also if anyone needs tips on applying the sides PM me, that was a pita

Thanks so much! I've had a clear Skinomi full body protector sitting on my desk for days. Wasn't sure if I was going to use or our send it back. You inspired me to use it.
I only applied the front and back. I left the sides for a another time if I feel I need to use it.
It's been 12+ hours since application and I have some dents that I can feel every time I swipe my finger across the screen. It's literally smack dab in the middle of my screen and annoying the Hell out of me! :banghead:
I don't like the feel compared to the naked beauty and butter smoothness that it was before so not sure how long I'll be keeping this thing on.
Been trying to find a quality, ultra slim case or pouch but no luck so far. At this point I'll take the official bumper of they'd just get them back in stock...

SGP Spigen screen shield review

Hey guys,
I had a chance to review this new product by SGP and as usually I really really liked it.
I think it sits at a good price for the quality. HOWEVER, be sure to order the front/back combo as it is THE SAME price
enjoy!

Update :
The bubble in the bottom part never went away because there is dust under the shield and that is simply because I suck at installing them ..however I'm still very happy with the quality and the fact that I have another one that I can install once I get tired of this damn bubble (,each package has 2). It can get a little greasy tho.
Perfect fit with S line and both Diztronic cases

Use tap to remove the dust or the sticker things that come with the Spigens.
Does anyone have a coupon for this?

Nice review! I think some poeple forget that the edges are curved a bit and its hard to make a screen protector that doesnt bubble up

Correct . screen shields can't go all around in this type of device. Kinda making me sad as its gonna be very hard to get a full glass screen shield which I love . let's see if SGP or any of the other companies are able to step it up and develop it

FYI, "front" version comes with 2 pieces of the front protector
"front and rear" comes with 1 for the front and 1 for the back
So, if you are already protecting the delicate back of the phone somehow, you might want to get the two-front version to have a spare one, so if you mess it up applying the first one you have a backup.
Even though I always somehow manage ton get dust under the screen on the first attempt I love SGPs screen protectors. The initial attempts were messed up but i ran the protectors under HOT water wiped them with my hands and they all installed flawlessly with no bubbles or dust. So if anyone gets these and manages to mess up on the first attempt just run it under hot water wiping it off and try again. I have the dual on my N4 and the matte on my N7, hope they make a matte for my N4.

it's not that hard. You use one to lift the edge of the screen protector and you use another piece to dab the underside where the dust is and then set it back down. Also try installing using the "hinge" method to get a dust free and much easier install.
How do you guys get 2? I received mine yesterday and only got 1 in the package

You probably ordered the Front & Back protector.
Just ordered an ultra oleophobic one and will let you know how it is when I have got it. I'm quite useless at putting on protectors too but have been practising a lot with cheap ones and I've got a certain way of doing it now. Squeegee is your best friend!!
Because I'm a Nexus b!tch and I like to run the latest source and binaries!! AOSPA!
Thanks for the review and it was great you showed actually installing the screen protector so often they just talk about it.

I can't decide with version I want. Is there much of a difference between the two when it comes to light glare? What about resistance to scratches (on the SP, not the screen itself). If you have a case that doesn't quite meetup with the SP edges, do you get a trough of crud after a while?

The Oleophobic protector is more prone to scratches than the Ultra Crystal version.
