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.

Just received body glove cases with kick stand clip in store. Retailing for $29.99 as usual. It's not bad
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Just bought one of the body glove cases with a kickstand online for 17.95 with a free shipping code. I know someone in another thread got this as well recently and the pics he or she posted looked good in regards to quality but taking it apart may be a bit of a chore.
I'll post the link if anyone wants it, but I'll repost once I receive the case. I hope it works!
Post the link w/pics when u get a chance. I must have a kickstand case!
I know the Body Glove kickstand case for the HD2 was a bit of a pain to remove and seemed CLICK so loudly that people feared it might damage their device. Does the Sensation version go on and off without any noticeable issues?

Just got back from lunch and I got my bodyglove case. It is indeed the same you get at the tmo stores, but cheaper somewhat . As for the case, it works, it adds a bit to the phone which I am on the fence on right now. I kinda like it but takes away from the beauty of the phone. I took off the clip and put in the tab so that I would have a flat tab so that I can fit it into the leather case I also have.
I did try the stand. It works but seems a bit flimsy. I just don't like having my phones' face exposed to the elements like door jams and door handles and desk drawers at my office, so that is why I chose to not have that clip on. I don't know...I may want to sell this case in a day....anyone want it for 15 bux shipped?
Anyways here are the pics taken from the sensation. I do not have any pics of the case with the actual case on of course

I would be considering the body glove case for my new sensation, but the same case on my G2X actually started scratching the side of my phone. It's plastic on plastic, it makes scratches. Maybe it's different cause of the shape of the sensation (I hope so), but beware.

The only plastic is actually the top part that snaps on. It is kinda flimsy but fits nice and flush with the phone and no movement what so ever.
After a few hours, the case is growing on me but I may want to just get rid of it and buy the leather one from expansys that ships in a week.

I sued my landlord for $3000
I have some extra cash for the summer
The problem was that I had rodents (disgusting), so they took longer than 30 days
So I took a couple of pictures and threatened them to go to court and file for A LOT more money that my original request ($3K)
SO I had a meeting with the Vice-President of the corporation, it was a pretty nasty meeting, but anyway, I got my money
Bottom line is "A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS "
In my case, I spend $5 printing two pictures, I showed them to the Vice-President, and then we settled off-court

Hello harnahud,
Well a little late but welcome on xda! Just one quick question, what case color have you bought? I wanted to by one of these (nilkin) but not sure about brown or black...
They dont have the holes in them like the other cases. I read somewhere that they were needed, that some cases were pulled due to no holes. the 3 at the top 2 at the bottom...

nillkin one uk ebay with free a mesh case
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150625136...36007&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1
For the mesh case, I got one for my previous HD2, and it stained the back (soft rubbery surface part). My colleagues got one such red hard case (not mesh) and it happened to her Desire as well.
Now I am rather weary of using such coloured hard case..
Only thing I don't like about these barely there type cases, is they are a royal pain to get on and off. Pair it with ghost armor and your device is bulletproof! But good luck pulling the battery lol.

Excellent price, delivery nearly everywhere. Delivery took 12 days to US, and shipping is free.
Just received mine and it's as advertised. Getting my replacement Sensation tomorrow so haven't tried the case on the phone yet, but it looks like it will be very good. Very thin, which is what I wanted. Holes are cut in the case for each switch and hole on the phone.
I'll update once I've installed it and used it more.

I would have to agree, the prices seem a little out of whack in relation to other products out there. The seller would really have to list key deferential features from their product to others being sold to help me understand the price difference.
Plus it looks like you would have to wait close to a month before having the product in hand, that to me is a really long time.
I just bought the knock off one from ebay and it arrived yesterday. Works well for me. Im waiting for the mesh black one. I had that on my desire and now the sensation. It feels better in my hand than the non-mesh one

I look at those mesh cases and imagine how much dust and gunk will accumulate in the holes in a month or two or three. May feel good, but don't they get nasty after a while? Just take it off and wash it out?
Is there a leather case our there that is just for the phone and not some little belt holster/pocket? I think it would look pretty sexy on the Sensation.

wanna buy something like that,it look nice,and phone is fully protected..
Ok, today I have gotten the case. It feels sturdy, fits on the sides perfectly. Despite of the site being registered in US, it arrived from "Jacky Chan" in Hong Kong (lold at that one) Took ~10 days per airmail.
The cut-outs for camera and flash + back speaker are fitting perfectly aswell, along with volume and microusb cut-out.
Only thing that was a bit weird at first was that the covering didn't fit perfectly "at once", but I guess after a while and stretching it'll fit. The cover holds though, while also giving access to power button.
I am in work atm, but I will post pictures once I get home. Stay tuned.
For ~24 USD it seems fairly usable and good-looking case, in my opinion.
THIS is the bomb! 60$ but worth it ! I have used this company's similar case for my HD2, Desire HD, AND now for the Sensation!

I think it is possible, but I am not sure whether it then wouldn't be prone to further ripping. The hard plastic ends on the bottom from where the leather-only hinge starts and there you should be able to perform a cut, while having it still stylish.
Maybe if you would finish the cut part with some sort of superglue mixed with black ink, it would fix the ripping issue.

As a mini review...
Being this is my first Seidio Active case ever, I am quite impressed by the combo offering. the case and skeleton that goes over the case is quite nice. The build is nice and you can feel the quality of the case when held in your hand. Right now for the kickstand Active case, there is only the black available and that's ok with me. But I do like color from time to time. As for the kickstand portion, it works as described. It cannot stand up in portrait and is intended for only landscape viewing when the kickstand is in use. The kickstand has a nice click to open and close and you can be confident that the kickstand is tucked away. And when opening the kickstand, don't worry if you use too much force the plastic piece has some give and is forgiving. Nice to know
All in all the case is indeed worth its pretty penny. Before this case, I was using the Nillkin kickstand case as you can see in one of the pics in the gallery. Even though I love the slim factor, I am constantly worried I will be scratching the bottom and top portion of the phone which is not covered with the Nillkin kickstand case. Seidio has taken away that worry, however has added some bulk to my phone. It's not bad, but I do like the slim factor of the Sensation and was one of the main reasons for getting the phone. Eh...if the phone is to survive, I have to give something up right? LOL
As for the holster, its great. No issues in getting the phone in or out and I have yet to experience the peel back on the top portion that others have. But time will tell .
Out of 5 stars I give this case a good 4 stars. Because of the uncertainty of the holes that are not present in the case but are on the phone backing. I have yet to test the mic but I will report back if I have any issues.
UPDATE 4/24/12: With regards to the holes. There are no issues with regards to hearing on either end of a call and gps/cell signals are fine. This is my go to case when traveling. However, I maintain my 4 out of 5 stars, because it is a lint trap lol. And a little bulky for my taste, but that's a trade off when you want protection.
I have the active case with kickstand as well. It is the best phone case I've had for the sensation it offers great protection, not bulky and the kickstand just sets it apart from all the others.

Posted in the OP. Also included a coupon code as well. Every penny counts in today's world!
Reporting back after a few days of usage. Used gps and took and received a number of calls and glad to say everything works. With the covering of some of the holes in the back, I was hesitant of how people were going to hear me. But none have remarked that the in call volume was too low or otherwise. GPS ran as it should. Connected to sats locked in as usual.
Looks like I'll be getting this case considering its one of the few cases with a kickstand. Any flaws with it?

The only "flaw" IMO is that not all the holes are present in the case. But the main holes for mic are and do not hinder any performance in my case. And what ever cut outs are there are lined up perfectly. And removing the case in the need of a battery pull is a breeze as well. And also besides the holster peeling off the top part of the case when placing it in the holster one handed, its a hit or miss. You need to just be aware to just use your index finger to move the tab up before placing the phone in the holster from the bottom and then up.
I stand by my mini review so far with being it a strong 4 out of 5 stars for me. The last star would have been the cutting out of all the holes like the back of the case.
is that green case for the sensation? if so where did u get it?

Yes it's the Nillkin Kickstand case for the Sensation. I did a review on that as well, did you not see?? I advise against this case unless you are open to personally use a file or dremel to extend your cut out of the usb port. Also the kickstand itself needs to be modified as well to easily fold up the kickstand. Read the thread and make your own judgment before ordering.

And if you do want it, I got mine from obostore.com and they have a 20% coupon at the moment.

Great question! I took a look at it this morning and the answer is no. With the kickstand deployed, the port is located where the phone rests horizontally, as a result the port is blocked.
That's a bummer. I bought the case last night after thinking about this lol
I will still enjoy it though
Thanks for the answer!

It's up to ones own preference. I mean I do not regret the purchase. The kickstand works well. And I don't watch a lot of vids on the phone, that's why I have a tablet. Is it that much cheaper? I mean if you get it on ebay I think it's maybe a tad more expensive, but not astronomical.
Just giving you guys the heads up, I found the Ballistic SG case on Amazon for $19.76 shipped which is more or less $15 off the retail price. It's even cheaper than it is on ebay. For those that don't know, it's a two piece sorta like the Otterbox Commuter but is a lot more protective and I think it looks a lot slicker. I had the SG for my Epic 4G Touch and my iPhone 4S and I loved it. It really is a great deal so I would jump on it, according to Amazon there were only 4 left and I snagged one of them.

Fairly certain. One of the reviewers says it is, and the model number matches the ones on ebay that specifically state they are. Also, Ballistic doesn't have one for the international version on their website, only the AT&T/LTE one. Good enough for me.

Thanks a lot. I've been holding on to my HOX since I got it because I don't have a case yet. Let's hope I don't drop it!!!
Why do you hate the commuter? That was going to be my first choice...

I think it's ugly as sin, and it is a major pain to put on and take off. I am going to be returning it as soon as my Ballistic comes in.
Just got mine in! I like it so far, it's much easier to put on than the Otterbox Commuter and I think it looks cooler. I will post a short review after I've used it for a few days.
Yep just got mine on too and man is it nice and snug I also have full skin guard on phone so I was afraid it wouldn't fit right but sure enough fits perfect and feels great I and it looks awesome with white accent of my white phone I'll post pics tomorrow when I'm around another camera!

Thanks for the review/pics.
I have a question, which pretty much is a deal breaker for me.
The rubber that is around the edges and on the corners; how bad does it grip when sliding in and out of a jean pocket? This case make it look almost impossible to slide it in an out of my front pockets. Thanks.

I personally don't have an issue getting mine in and out of my pocket, but I typically wear relaxed/loose fit jeans or casual pants. It might be a different story if you're the type who wear skinny jeans.
I gotta say that the rubber itself might pick up a little white fuzz from Ur pocket but I do have kinda thick legs so even.loose fit is a ill tight and I don't have any problem in and out of pocket the rubber seems like it is pretty "smooth" feeling lol
