HTC Desire TPU Case TP C520 Review

Guys,
Just get the original Htc Desire TPU Case TP C520. I attach the pictures for those who wants to check the detail before purchasing. You can get it from expansys-usa at US $17.99
Based on my opinion:
+ Perfectly fit.
+ Perfect grip on hands.
+ Volume button side is really good.
- Very glossy.
- Catch the dust & scratches easily.
It's the most perfect fit of TPU case, but the glossy finish make this case looked ugly when it gets the dust & scratches. I don't think it's worth $17.99. If you want really good protection, I think OtterBox Commuter Series Case is a better option at $34.95

It's ok for its price imho, i got one too and it saved me many times tho i don't think it's a great, erm, development tool...

Looks quite nice. But ibget the impression this will be moved to Desire Accessories soon

I kinda dislike silicon cases: bought one when i still had my old Touch Cruise, and it made me cry every time i had to pull the phone out of the pocket of my trousers: it's so sticky omg, never again...

LOL that's a good one

it looks good on the phone, but i personally dont prefer cases on my phones...
btw Wrong Section mate

I too bought one of these recently from Play.com for £9.99 and really impressed.
I was using a cheap one from ebay before and this one is so much better quality and isn't as thick so doesn't add as much bulk to the phone.
Plus the power button is cut out and there hole for the headphones is bigger than on the cheap one.
Also the plastic is more flexible around the volume buttons which makes it easier to press than with the cheap ebay one.

Dimensions of tpu case increased after 4 months
I bought it four months ago. The length of the case has increased by 2-3 mm. NOT WORTH IT.

Have been using mine for about a year now and still love it. It fits perfectly, volume buttons are great and all the holes are big enough. + it is not THAT shiny and its color fits the phone

I am very happy with mine which I bought off eBay for $5. Screen protector included still hasn't started peeling off, so for that cheap I really have nothing to complain about.

Official HTC TPU case is excellent. Perfect fit, not too bulky..and cheap too !
If you're in the UK you can get them from Play.com for only £6.99....bargain !

ive had this cover since last christmas and i have to say its thr best thing i have ever bought for my phone, the amount of scratches and dents this has saved me from is amazing, its even stopped the screen taking damage when dropped face down, i would 100% recomend this to everyone

T-Mobile Official Accessories (Case+Screen Protector)

Here are some pictures of the gel skin sold at Tmobile.
PRO'S: Case serves great protection and style as well.
The black color is really nice, compliments the color of the phone.
Its a silicone case, very flexible, that is textured. It is also really easy to install.
The bulk that it adds is very minimal.
CONS: One in particular is that if you like the ease of just pulling it out of your,
the whole case grabs onto the inside of your pocket, pulling the pocket inside-out.
OVERALL:: Overall, I recommend this case to anyone that is looking for some
great protection, with very little bulk adding to the phone.
Attached: Here are some pictures of the gel skin sold at T-Mobile.

more pics...

that looks very nice, fit & finish is excellent!
how much was it and is it available internationally? definately want one....

Not bad, how much did that cost?

Around $17 plus tax but I bought it with some screen protectors so they gave me 20% off. Was about 14 dollars after discount.

I got one also yesterday. Fits great, feels good, easy to get off and on. I use it at home only. At work I keep it naked and sexy!
I also got the screen protectors. Clear type like I like and if put on correctly they adhere 100% no bubbles or air gaps.

The gel skin is a good case until otterbox decides to make a case for it. The screen protector is garbage. I had finger scratching on the screen protector before I left the store. But it will have to do until the zagg screens are out.

Found this original hTC case over at Expansys and the price is fairly good. Also looks like it is an identical color match with the phone battery cover; this is a major plus for a more stealth look!

Really nice find man. Ordering one right now, thanks!

I just got the T-mobile screen protectors. Not bad.
I had the rep at T-mobile put it on, figure if she screwed up she'd give me a free one or something. She had already done a few Sensations and I must say she did a good job. Better I know then if I tried it. There are just a few tiny bubbles that I think I can work out, not really noticeable. She did throw in an extra free one because she bad that she slightly scratched the protector trying to get one of the bubbles out. I can't even really see it. So overall a happy experience.
My Body Glove case is being sent to my home now - so that should be an all together different but interesting experience!

Here's a quick video I put up of the official T-Mobile gel case:

It's a pretty nice case, just very, very linty. :/

I ordered the PhantomSkinz Matt full body skin.
http://phantomskinz.com/htcsensation4g.aspx
Comes with 2 sets and the screen part also comes with 2 sets of Matt finish and Clear Gloss finish.
I use the glossy finish for the display. I think they have the best feel.
There is also a summer discount code for 25% off right now.

[Review] Seidio Active w/kickstand (White)

Alright. So, impressions first.
I've used Seidio Active cases on all of my phones since my original Incredible (quite a few devices). I love them. It was a no-brainer to get one for my One X. I hadn't ever used one of the kickstand models, so this is a first for me.
First off, the case is great. Very well designed, feels really really good in the hand. It gives the physical buttons (power, volume) a better feeling, makes them easier to use. I know some people had issues with the power button being a little too recessed, so this should remedy the issue a little.
It looks great. I got the glossed white, and I have to say, if you got the white One X, this is definitely the way to go. Really accentuates the overall look of the device, matches nicely.
The case should definitely prevent a lot of damage from drops. The silicon layer allows you to put it down face first without it resting on the screen, and the hard shell gives it good protection on the edges and corners. It also lifts the phone off of the camera lens.
The kickstand. This is kind of meh, to be honest. It is advertised as a metal kickstand, but honestly it feels pretty flimsy. It does support the phone on its side, but you cannot set it up vertically (like you can with the Thunderbolt). I've honestly not used the kickstand much. I don't use my phone for watching stuff very often, and even less often do I need to rest it that way. It can't be charged while the kickstand is out since the charging port is covered.
Another gripe about the kickstand is that it puts a little bulge on the back of the case. You can't really tell on the site, but it juts out a little. Kind of awkward, kind of throws off the minimal look to it. Not a huge deal though. I did contact Seidio and they said they have no plans to develop the Active case without a kickstand for the One X. So it is what it is.
Overall, it is a great case. If you are looking for solid protection with minimal bulk, this is definitely for you. I was actually really surprised how thin the device stays with the case on. Thanks to the hard shell the case doesn't make it difficult to pocket, since the silicon layer isn't what contacts the inside of the pocket (if that is an issue for you).
I'd definitely say it is worth it. Some will love and use the kickstand probably, others will likely be indifferent. I could live without it. But you can't beat the look or the feel, or the peace of mind it brings. Recommended!
Pictures! Apologies for...the space sheets. And the various books on psychology. The general cleanliness of the background. Haha.
Okay, it won't let me upload them to here. Too big I guess. Idk. Here's a link to my public Dropbox folder with the pictures in it.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2mwqek85ez80rqn/OR8BfO1rlj

looks nice
tad thick for my taste but nice none the less

Hmm... I really like the Kickstand. I purchased the platinum version of the seidio surface case from best buy and it lacks the kickstand. Will probably return it and get the surface case with the kickstand instead. All in all, Thanks for the Pics!

I have really been considering this case. It seems really nice. The only thing that has me not wanting a case on this phone is I'm worried it will detract from the ergonomics of the screen. The lip around the screen looks like it will make it more difficult to use the edges of the screen.

I got both this one and the Surface case at the same time so I could compare them. I have to say that I absolutely love the Surface case, but was not a fan of the active with kickstand. The Active has that awkward bulge in the back where the kickstand is, and I just didn't like the look and fit on the phone. The Surface, in my opinion, is just about perfect. It fits great over my Zagg screen protector, and it is very minimalistic and i think it actually helps maintain the phone's natural good looks! If you haven't tried the Surface case, give it a try! ( There's a thread on here somewhere with pictures of the Surface case... I'll try to find it and post a link.)

Thanks for the advice. It looks as though the surface would be better for me since it doesn't seem like it would have the issue I was worried about with the screen.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I get the surface cases for every phone I buy. I have to have a clip and the surface case is the best option for me. It doesn't add a lot of bulk but still feels protected. I was glad that Best Buy got the platinum case in for the HOX really quick. Identical to the surface case but 10 bucks cheaper.

Review of Active w/ kickstand
I've had my Active w/ kickstand for a couple of days. I really like the case. I got the blue version. The blue is darker and has a slight metallic tint. I think it looks better than the pictures seidio has posted online. The rubber skin makes the buttons easier to press, and has a great tactile feel. This is great for the power button, which usually took me a couple of tries without the case. I'd prefer the volumes weren't as easy to press, but not a big deal. The kickstand works well for me, but the charging port is at the bottom, when the kickstand is out. So you can't charge and use the kickstand at the same time. The edges of the screen are easy to use, unless you use the advanced setting in chrome that puts the menu button on the side. Also the lip, can interfere with your screen protector. I had to readjust mine to make sure it didn't line up with the edge of the lip, otherwise the lip tends to push the edge of the screen protector up.
Hope that helps, anyone considering this case.

Confused
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3HT...LRRI/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1339456253&sr=8-8
On Amazon, Seidio claims that this case fits both the AT&T One X and the International One X. Does it indeed fit both, or just ours, or just the International? I need to buy a case, and I would prefer one with a kickstand. If anyone can tell me if the one on Amazon fits, that would be great. It would also be really helpful if you posted a link to a case for the AT&T One X that offers superior protection to the Seidio case, but also has a kickstand, but ideally I would like to order the Seidio for the AT&T One X. Sorry to be so demanding, but I won't take this phone out of my house until I get a case, and I really want to show it off at school

It does fit..i have the one for the international and it fits snuggly on my xl

Just bought this in black, the exoskeleton idea is cool. My adreama case always felt like it works scratch it when removing.
Hail Cobra!

I've always liked seidio's products. Especially their active line cases. the AT&T rep was trying to get me to buy their $50 POS hard case. I didn't, the plastic feel just isn't good for me. Plus also the seidio holster is a lot better.
I got the case in red. I think it looks great. The kickstand does feel a little cheap but it ain't bad. I can live with it When propped up, it does its job quite well. My only complaint about the case is that because the edges of the screen on this phone are not raised, the case rubs up against the edge of my screen protector and it keeps lifting it then I push it back down. I may have to try to find a screen protector that has some stickiness to it.

One side note on the Surface is the fact that when using the kickstand, the USB port is underneath, preventing you from charging it at the same time
But still, it's the best fit for the looks of the phone and protects the camera so you don't have to worry about setting it down roughly. my 2 cents

Have the same case but in black. Seems like it will def protect the phone. Feels good, haven't used the kickstand yet but will hold the phone up. Fairly easy to install and remove. Thought about the Surface case but wanted a case just for when I'm in the garage or outside at the beach or something so went with some extra protection. Rest of the time just use the phone as is with a screen protector. Like the design of the phone so don't care to have a case on it all the time.

Ballistic SG Case Review

FORM
Goods
The case is black all around with a dot matrix pattern on the back. While showing my friends this case most noted the rugged appearance of the case, but they never called it ugly. I’ve scratched and clawed at all parts of this case and there is no hint of paint falling off or rubber disintegrating etc.
Bads
On the four corners of the phone there is a “B” for Ballistic. I personally don’t like this branding but you only see it if you try. It’s kind of like a pentile screen, looks good until you see it.
Also, along the edges of the case there is a seam from the manufacturing process. The seam is slightly elevated and takes away from the one-ness of the device.
A side note, the volume cutout covers the Beats audio branding if that makes any difference.
(One last point, obviously this case is not as beautiful as the One X, not even close. But we aren’t all Sir Jony Ive, are we now.)
FUNCTION
Goods
Most importantly, the thickness of this case works well to protect the camera lens. Before having this case, I always gingerly set my device down hoping not to scratch the portruding camera. Now with the case there are about 3 mm of buffer space between the glass of the camera and the surface you set it on. What does this all mean? It means I never have to worry about setting my device down.
I can’t say for sure about the shock resistance this case provides, but that is mainly because the material the case is made of very grippy materials. I’m pretty sure the protection offered by this case is similar to an Otterbox Commuter series case. The hard shell plus gel seems to be a winning formula in case design and it’s no different here.
Don’t worry about all of the bulk around the device hindering ports or cameras. Pictures look great with the case, LED flash still has wide angle, headphones plug in fine (Koss PortaPros!!!), and charging ports fit fine.
Also, when placing the phone glass down, the rubber on the case keeps the phone form sliding and leaves buffer space to prevent scratching that beautiful High-def display.
Bads
A major drawback because of this full body wrap-around case is the protrusion into the glass. It’s a little difficult to get fingers onto the sides of the screen, but still fully functional. I use all normal Google apps, play games, and of course, use the XDA app among others and haven’t ran into an issue getting to the sides and corners of the screen.
The volume rocker is slightly flush for my preference, but I suppose if it was more vertical the case would be even bigger, so I can see the compromise here. Definitely works like a volume rocker should.
Wrap-Up
What’s the verdict? This case is a total buy if you are looking for a protector case. It adds heft for sure, but not to the point where one hand use is impossible, it’s just not the most comfortable. But then again, without this case on, who would dare to hold this phone in just one hand. Ballistic has earned two thumbs up.
BTW. Hit THANKS if you like my work.

good review, still waiting for mine.

Ballistic plus SGP screen protector is as good as its gets with a dry protector. You don't see the screen protector edge at the bottom, barely see it on the sides, and small spot at the top

Yeah, I ordered my screen protector, but it came a day too late. I accidently nicked my phone on a soda pop tab. Major Bummer. I'm planning on getting it switched at the ATT store, though.

Ya thanks man
Ya, so I got this case for my brothers HTC One X and I didn't how it covered the sides of the screen so i filed it down on the edges. I also didn't like that it covered the beats audio, so I dremeled out the hole. And I also debranded it with a file and some liquid rubber that I mixed with paint.

It's the XDA way.

Great review, I ordered mine form Amazon for 20.00, I also went on ahead and ordered the Otterbox Defender Case as well, I plan to sell whatever one I don't like on ebay.

Dropped my one x for the first time in the asphalt parking lot about chest level with the case on.... Thought it might be a goner cuz it sounded like it hit pretty hard but no damage at all +1 for protectiveness! It hit on one of the corners can't remember which lol but that's a good thing right?

That's good news!!! I haven't dropped my HOX yet (fingers crossed), but good to know its a good case.

Ok,
Got this case today and my review is that it will definitely keep my phone safe if my kid drops or throws it.
However, it takes a sleek looking phone and makes it look like a brick.
The extra rubber on the corners is unnecessary and detracts from the phone.
I am going to try and pick up the commuter and compare.
It also makes the phone feel bigger and heavier in my hand with the added bulk.
Oh and one more thing, if you have an L shaped connector on your headset your wire will stick out 90 degrees from the phone because the rubber is so thick that it stops the plug going into the jack.
I had to slice mine down a little in order for my jack to be parallel with the phone to easily put in and out of a pocket...definite MINUS.

I agree with everything you said. Tell me what you think of the Commuter when you get it.

Tired of Commuter, Any suggestions?

Ok so ive had the blue/black Otterbox commuter now for a few weeks and I did like it at first but now im just sick of it, makes the phone a little to thick for how often i use it and just has gotten on my nerves, anyone able to recommend something with about the same protection maybe a little bit more thin?
also, ill probably ship this one off to someone when i get a replacment

Felt the same way with my commuter. From what I've red its the thinnest one of that type of case. The tridents look cooler, but myself I just got an incipio feather shine and I love it. Provides more drop protection than you would think, but looks way cool

Same protection? Get the Incipio Silicrylic case, looks tons better than the Otter box.
If you want a sleeker case overall, get the Seidio Surface case, with kickstand.
Sent from my sexy white HTC One X on T-Mobile

yeah i been eyeballing the seido....hows the grip on it?, if the commuter had grip i could deal with the thickness

Pretty good, not a glossy finish and the kickstand doesn't add a weird bump like with the Seidio Active. Lmk if you want pics comparing the normal Surface with the Surface kickstand.
Sent from my sexy white HTC One X on T-Mobile

sure

Had a Best Buy gift card so I grabbed that platinum series case/holster combo and I like it. Pretty protective and slimmer than the Commuter for sure.

I used to use the Commuter on all my iPhones, but the one for the One X is just too hard to get on and off for me. I wanted a slimmer case that didn't leave the camera lens hanging out the back (and I didn't want to break the bank either). I found this one on eBay and it's fantastic. And only $7.95, too. The seller ships super fast, too (from California to Kentucky in 2 days).

Incipio NGP here. I like the softer feel and the decent protection around the edges. The included screen protector is rather lousy, but you can use the coupon to get XtremeGuard for next to nothing. You will have to cut it down a bit to work well with the ngp and not lift at the edges.

i havent gotten mine yet for the One X but i ordered the Barely There case by Case Logic, i had it for my Inspire 4g and another for my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, cant wait to get mine for this phone, they are thing light and stay on, they arent going to protect from drops like the commuter but they will keep it from getting scratched to hell on the back.

Same protection? Get the Incipio Silicrylic case, looks tons better than the Otter box.
If you want a sleeker case overall, get the Seidio Surface case, with kickstand.

Have you noticed the the silicone on the silicryilc to be loose at all? The top and and bottom worry me because they lack the plastic coverage.

Will not protect the lens cover at all. If you are worried about "scratching like hell" you might want something more substantial.

really cause the other two i have had were fine even the Inspire which had the lens that flared out like the HOX kinda sucks now ill look into another case maybe the incipio feather? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZT4UWI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 or this as from the pictures it looks like it helps with the lens.

I ordered both the feather and the ngp from Incipio. Sent the feather back to because the protection was too minimal. Love the ngp so far. Not too bulky not too flimsy. The provided screen protector sucks big time tho. Incipio has versions for both hox models make sure you get the right one. Order from Incipio direct, indirect same price

Ok so ive had the blue/black Otterbox commuter now for a few weeks and I did like it at first but now im just sick of it, makes the phone a little to thick for how often i use it and just has gotten on my nerves, anyone able to recommend something with about the same protection maybe a little bit more thin?
also, ill probably ship this one off to someone when i get a replacment

Graced with a sleek painted aluminum finish on a durable hard shell exterior and fitting both World and AT&T versions of the phone.....
I wonder how that works or fits?????

I am more worried about the side of the case being so flexible. Compared to my old HTC Sensation's otterbox case which was more rigid.
Apart from that, i like the case.

I dropped mine and cracked the screen, it was seriously the smallest drop ever for a phone and still broke. Most fragile phone I've ever had given how many other of my HTC's have been used like a football.
So once its fixed/replaced, I wont be taking a 2nd chance despite hating cases.
Thought about the Incipio feather Ultralight but based on the comments, sounds like it won't offer any decent protection. Might order the NGP Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case instead. But from the photos, does the case sit over the buttons or are there cut outs?
What are the other options as far as minimal size but decent protection? I'll take my chances breaking it again before using some bulky ugly case!

HTC - NGP
Pretty sure there is only a single NGP that fits the international and AT&T version. The case covers the buttons but all are functional. I purchased the Nillkin Scub first which is very sleek but didn't offer a substantial lip around the screen. The NGP offers good protection without being bulky. Because it's designed for the international version the cutouts don't line up perfectly (microphone and speaker) but all the buttons and ports work fine. Had to make a small cut to get one of my power cords to fit.
