just letting you guys know seidio is now shipping their innocase (black only though)

That's awesome, thanks for letting us know, been waiting to see that. Now after seeing it, I'm sure of what I assumed, that the OEM/Verizon kickstand case is a much better case. It has a kickstand you can use in portrait and landscape, it provides good grip on the back of the phone, it fits very tightly and is durable plastic, and it barely goes over the front of the phone at all leaving the phone quite thin.
Innocases are what I used on my last 3 phones, and the soft touch/rubberized feel is nice (the kickstand case is rubberized but not as much), but, they are relatively brittle, they bulk up the phone a good deal by covering all sides and the front, and they don't have kickstands. I can't imagine not having a kickstand now after having one. But perhaps most important, is the cost? The kickstand cases are brand new on ebay for $12 shipped. innocases are going to run you $30 + shipping.
edit: Seidio's holsters are awesome though, best I've ever used. but I know a lot of people don't use a holster, and you can't with the kickstand case on anyways. I suggested a pouch to go with the kickstand case in my thread about it in this forum.
nice! thanks for the update! i've been waiting for a solid case that didn't cover up much of the front bezel. now only if sgp's website was working and i could get the ultra crystal screen protector...
does anyone have this? how is it? bulky or no?
I bought this case. It's really nice. However it makes my phone look exactly like an Iphone. You've probably seen this case on plenty of Iphones - it is essentially identical. The case its relatively thin, but certainly adds to the phone's size. It's probably about as thin as you're going to get for a case though (aside from using an invisible sheild type skin ). Quality is great. I love the case, the added size is fine because the case is still pretty sleek looking - And well worth the $30 investment to protect such an expensive phone. Lets not forget, samsung is notorious for bad build quality.

cool, i ordered it and will give a review here after i try it out for a bit. i hope it fels good in the hand
They are about the best cases out. Not too much bulk and the rubberized finish is a nice touch. Best Buy had them in black and white. They are labeled as the Seidio platinum series on retail shelves.

ok so i just got this case.. its pretty sweet! only one thing i dont like and i can't beleive no one else mentioned this, the power and volume rockers are kinda blocked off in a way that makes it a lil tough for your thumb to get too
I just got this case today in black..weird that Best Buy lists the white case at 29.99 but the black case at 34.99..weird, not exactly sure why the black costs more. Anyways, I will have some pretty detailed pictures tonight!
No pics, my camera is bummy..but I love the case. Fits perfectly and I don't mind it making the buttons more difficult to press. I have sausage fingers anyway so it feels better to me

Got my seido Active X w/holster in yesterday... I'm loving it, it looks way better than the otterbox, it provides more grip, you can actually see all the glass, and it doesn't block half the speaker on the back.. Glad I ordered it..

It looks really great and the finger grips in the sides work AWESOME!!! It looks way better than the otterbox!!!
These pics are spot on though!!!

Received this message "Coupon code "XMAS15" is not valid. The coupon expired on Sun Dec 19 00:00:00 PST 2010", so it appears the code has expired. Will wait for other colors now.
Just to update everyone, I had a Platinum case (Innocase) from Best Buy. I returned it because the bottom part had become unreasonably loose. Waiting for Bestbuy.com to get the Otterbox back in stock. I'm currently using the "carbon fiber" looking case from Verizon.
I have been looking for a case for my HTC Sensation 4G.
The main purpose is to save a phone in case of an accidental drop.
I read this amazon review
http://www.amazon .com/review/RGI8F3AW3MSD1/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0054NUFPS
Which is like the most comprehensive review I've seen over there.
So These are the cases that I'm considering
1) http://www.amazon .com/Case-Mate-CM014574-Tough-Case-Sensation/dp/B0054NUFPS/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251536
2) http://www.amazon. com/Trident-AG-SEN-BG-Aegis-Hybrid-Sensation/dp/B005H4I6GY/
3)http://www.boxwave .com/htc-sensation-4g-cases-and-covers/htc-sensation-4g-armor-case/bwpdd/pf-zzgc/
I appreciate your input on this
Thanks.
Looks like you already have done some research on this. But based on what you want....meaning in case of an accidental drop I think out of the ones you posted, the trident one is the one I think would be the best overall case. I personally use the seidio active case with kickstand with holster and it looks great and I feel safe in not having any exposed corners to chip or bump into.

Thanks for the reply.
Can you please post a link to the case you are using?

Sure, its in my mini review here:

But you can try amazon or ebay. You may get it a bit cheaper there. I also know daydeal.com has them as well...I think lol...
But if you are international those choices may be hard. Thanks!
I think I narrowed it down to two. Now have to select one.
Is there anyone who had actually seen/used both?

Sorry I was incorrect in mentioning the trident case, it was the case mate that I was referring to as per video in that thread.
I'm using the Seido case right now. I love it. I've had it for about 2 months now. Glad I got this one. I like the fact that when you put it in the holster the screen faces in.
I use the Otterbox commuter series, but I think I'm going to switch to the Seidio Active. I don't like the fit of the Otterbox.
I posted a video review of these cases. It compares the Trident, Seidio, and CaseMate. It's in this forum somewhere.
Edit: its the link that kpjimmy posted.

I'm rockin the High Gloss Smoke TPU case:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25
I LOVE this case. The only thing that bugs me is that oils from hands stays on the case, and feels a little disgusting. The other bad thing is that the opening for the micro-USB port is a little smaller than it should be.
Other than that, it's an amazing case. Very protective, sleek, doesn't collect dust, and looks good!
I'm thinking about buying the Body Glove custom fit case, which is a hard-shell case covered in soft-touch coating. At Wal-Mart for $16. Just to try it out.
Thanks. I was looking for some comparisons. The video review you linked was a good comparison.

Didn't see much good reviews on the body glove case.
Free case is good, but more than that I'm willing to pay of a case that will protect my $500 phone
My brother uses a Casemate Tough Case. As a rough-and-tumble kind of guy, he didn't even want to get a case for his phone until I made him, lol. So far he's dropped his phone numerous times with the case on and, I quote him, "It just bounces!. It's a pretty bulky case but if you're looking for protection, I'd recommend it.
Hi!First post,going to try to be useful immediately
I own CM Tough and I'm very satisfied with it,although i don't use it all the time..Dropped the phone 2 times with it on pavement(clumsy me:/) and nothing happened,even the case didn't get any scratches.Also i find it very easy wearing it in pocket,even though it is kinda robust.Compared it to some other case(dont know the brand) and i like CMT more..My vote goes to it.
I'm very satisfied with CM Tough too. It may seem a bit bulky but it still feels pretty good in my hands. It offers excellent protection and looks good too IMHO.

Yeah it's not a bad-looking case at all. I'm sure you could find much better photos but here's a couple of shots I took of my brother's Sensation with CM Tough,so you can have a quick look.
Links to photos are here and

Case-mate Barely there
Personally - I prefer this case! I realize it probably doesn't suit your needs, however it suits mine and I figured I'd share what I use.

Holy crap tyrol, Im all for great pics but those are some big ass pics lol. Either host them somewhere or upload a smaller pic bro. I had to scroll to the right to view the pics bigtime. Some of us view these forums on our phone/netbooks/tablets!
^LOL, I was usb teathered and those pics blew up my broadband!
Hi all,
Thought I'd share with everyone some stylish and protective leather cases for the One X. Melkco makes a great one called the Jacka D. I used it with the Sensation 4G and now with the One X and it is sublime. Carrymobile sells this particular one for $32. I can't stand carriers charging out the ass for $0.10 worth of crappy silicone.
I'll post some pics with the white HOX soon.
You can check them out here: http://www.carrymobile.com/smartphone-cell-phone-pda/htc-imate-qtek-mwg/htc-one-x-endeavor-supreme-s720e.html
would like to see non-promo pics of the one x in this case. Looks pretty cool.
Okay, some pics as promised!
Nice.
How much thicker does it make it feel? How's the build quality?
I had one of these for my EVO, loved it. Really is a great quality case.

The case adds about 3mm to the handset. I don't pocket the phone as the poly body is not as rigid as you might think, it can flex slightly if sitting in your back pocket.

nice case, I had a similar case for my iphone. The only thing that concerns me is where the front cover makes contact with the screen. With my iphone case, the cover often imprints the letters onto the screen. How does this case compare in that regard?

No screen prints that I've seen.

Lol, well if I had front pockets on every tee that'd be awesome. Not sitting directly on it per se, the phone is half in back pocket, half out. I have a tendency to forget things like keys, wallet, phone so sometimes I use a case, sometimes a pocket. The Sensation was great for this as the body was super sturdy.

Alright bud I'm going to help you out.
This case is as durable as they come

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005I577W6/ref=mp_s_a_5?pi=SL75&qid=1349240006&sr=8-5
This color reeks, but I know the Trident is an awesome case. Perhaps the best
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005ISUNYC/ref=mp_s_a_24?pi=SL75&qid=1349240186&sr=8-24

And finally, my case. While cheap, it has withstood a fall from 17 floors. It's extremely durable, feels great and slim, and I don't have one complaint.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005A2UR4W/ref=mp_s_a_2?pi=SL75&qid=1349240402&sr=8-2
I have an otterbox and I don't even use it I like this case so much.

I lol'ed about the color reeking. My wife has that exact case and I can't stand looking at it. . I don't recommend the Trident though. The silicone under-layer is a loose fit, so one of the corners on the outer-layer hard shell has a tendency to dig itself under the silicone where the micro usb port is. I always end up taking the shell off and putting it back on to fix it. Annoying.
As for me, I'm using casemate tough. It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it works as advertised. It gives really great protection, fits perfectly and adds a lot of grip to the phone. It's only weakness I would say are it's boring looks. Kind of reminds me of a tire.

I just got this obliq case that i bought from Amazon and wanted to share with you guys my experience with it.
I am a huge fan of uag cases but when i tried to order it i saw that It would only be available on 10th of June. I Decided to wait for it. So i proceeded to buy any cheap case to use for the time i waited and found obliq for only 14 dollars. It seemed to be a complete copy of uag.

http://db.tt/4BxALzC4
http://db.tt/u7yS5HeP
The case is way better than i thought. So good that i will give up buying the uag. Im going with neo hybrid to have two different cases.
The buttons are soft and easy to press. The Overall protection is very good, maybe a bit under uag, since the corners are not as thick. To be honest it looks better than uag, and even my girl agrees with that.
So there you go guys. .a good option for those who don't Wanna pay the full price of uag.

Seems like a pretty solid deal if they're built to the same standard as UAG. Any comment on headphone/USB compatibility? That was a chief complaint with the Neo Hybrid across most reviews I saw.
Well i had no problem using the gs4 headphone/usb and two others here. The microphone and ir holes match perfectly. The case is really good as it is the screen protector that came with it.
I will try it soon with an iloome glass , but i think it will fit.
can honestly say that i am happy with it and will only buy the neo hybrid to have a second case. ..
