What case is your Desire wearing?

What case are you using?
I think I'll buy this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HARD-RUBBER-CAS...273299?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f03f42bd3
What do you say? Is it good? Bad?
Is there a better solution?

I have one like that. And I modded a moneyclip on the backside. Now its phone cover and wallet 2 in 1.

I have that case. It's really good and doesn't add too much thickness to the phone. It fits well too. I've used two cases with my phone and this us by far the better one.

I'm using an otterbox commuter case. I figured why not spend more to keep my desire nice. Best case I've ever had for ANY phone.

You beat me to it, I have the Commuter for my HD2 and Desire, probably the best made case you can get your hands on.

I've got a Case Mate Tough, looks pretty good and the protection is excellent.

I use the black case on deal extreme, it fits perfectly on my HTC desire.

Yeah, it's very nice but costs 32$ more than Hard Rubber case...
I can buy headphones for 30$

Cheaper than you think : around 17 euros ...

using the dcmugen epik case from ebay, so happy with it because it's not a dust magnet

Official HTC pull tab leather case - I only ever buy OEM

no case, only a leather bag.

Case Mate Tough, possibly the best fit i've come across.

my is naked. case makes its sexy body fat and ugly!!

This leather flip case that i order the day before yesterday turned up today and the phone fits nice and snug. i dont expect it to last long, possibly a month or 2? but good for keeping as a spare.
I have a zagg shield and gel case on its way

I'm nothing but happy with my Otterbox Commuter for my Desire. +1.

HTC Sensation battery door

I was looking for battery doors for my HTC Sensation and I came across this nice looking one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-OEM-HT...I&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=719848830771970651
I wonder if it will work the same as the one that comes with the Sensation. It looks a lot better in my opinion

looks great. can't wait til they start making some that aren't dual tone and without that ugly curve design.

1. @ $81 it's kind of spendy
2. Does not look the same as our battery covers, will antennas work fine?
3. Definitely better design then TMOUS ugly tri-colored one.
Thanks for the info

You know that's the housing AND the battery door (three pieces) right? I saw just the back cover selling on ebay for around $52.

Here is the back only
http://cgi.ebay.com/REPLACEMENT-BATTERY-COVER-HTC-SENSATION-/320715342088?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item4aac1fc108
It is still rather expensive, even considering how it needs to have the antennas.
I'm hoping it will come down in price once more sellers get into it. However this has helped me decide that I won't use a case for the back (was just looking for an excuse to swap backs covers)

Not bad. But yeah I'm going to wait till it get lower
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Who need case after that? If it scratches then just replace cover (they will get cheaper) which is the whole body! How cool is that!

It's awesome! But what happens if you drop the phone? I like using a case for shock absorption!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

You definitely make a valid point BonesRed.
However in order to achieve good shock absorption the case would add more bulk than I would ever consider using. The thickest case product I use on phones are the variety of 'skins' or 'shields', and those offer almost no shock absorption value.
Also this gives me an excuse to swap the tri-colored back for one that is dual-colored, which IMO looks better and prob should have been released this way in the first place.

I love the stock back, im surprised so many hate it.

Someone should make a battery cover with a protective rubber layer already attached.

Anybody knows where to get the back cover for t-mobile with 3 antenna connectors on top part? I placed an order with waresphere and they told me they don't have it in stock and raising the price when it becomes available.

Hello, first excuse my english I'm french.
I do not know if any of you to change the casing of the sensation, but no longer mine, if somebody is selling the original. I am close to you buy it, Thanks

I hope the price goes down in the next few months, i'll get one eventually

[MOD] Unibody replacement

Well long story short, I got a fairly nasty nick on the original case, top left corner, and it was driving me nuts, so I decided to give replacing it a try. Changed out the ATT case, for the original Desire HD case, I think it looks much better now

Can you show a better comparison wit the desire hd and the inspire housing? Every picture ive seen, the desire hd housing looks more dark grayish than the inspires brownish/grayish housing. I was thinking of doing the same thing just because i dont like the color of the inspires housing..

Ohhh I can see your IMEI!!!

I'm wondering this too . Mine's so scratched up.

I would also like to know where you got it, mine doesn't have a scratch on it but I think the htc logo looks better than the big ol AT&T logo

EBay has them, of course. But it seemed expensive too me.

I bought one of these cases when i first got my phone. STAY AWAY. From the white one atleast. The color of the case used to mess with my camera sensor causing all my shots to come out all washed out. Case sure did look good though.

I am using the Commuter and I love how it looks, much better build quality that the one for the EVO 4G and HD2.

The case looks much better in the pictures, but still is a nice looking case. I got it from the link in the op. The free goodies and nothing special. And the case fits perfectly.

I use a FlexVue Case, bought off eBay.... Its pretty cool the way the middle is clear, kinda fancy if ya ask me !

Incipio NGP and Ghost Armor review [sort of]

I looked everywhere locally, Nashville TN, and couldn't fine this case. Also no reviews on YouTube. Ordered it on incipio's web site. Fits the phone very well. Not as wide as the D3O sold at T-mo stores. I have this and an otterbox commuter. I much prefer the incipio case. I wanted protection all the way around not just the sides. Plus the new incipio feather is just damned ugly if you ask me.
Also have ghost armor on the screen. Lifetime warranty and such. Got it installed at a kiosk in a local mall. The otterbox jacked it up a little so I took it back to the kiosk and they fixed it no questions asked.
I recommend the case and the screen protector highly.

Other than price, ~$10 for Diztronic and $19 for incipio, the only two differences I can tell are the incipio is completely matte black and the lock button isn't a cut out. As the Diztronic has a gloss black front and a cut out for the lock button.

It's def something to get used to. It's easier to find because its slightly taller but you have to push it.
