I was debating between this one and the ballistic and then ended up getting the ballistic. The seido is nice like the kickstand but it doesnt have all the openings on the back that the phone needs as the ballistic does and the seido is mostly all rubber it would catch lint and be hard to pull out of your pocket in a hurry. The ballistic also seems much more rugged I love the case lol.

Yeah, the reason i liked the Seidio case was because of the kickstand. And i just looked at the ballistic case, it's beautiful!! i think i might go for that one! Thanks ruffrider5956!

Looks like you already made your decision, but here's my mini review on the Seidio Active case with kickstand and holster combo.

I have the case/holster combo but NOT the kickstand version.
I absolutely love it. Sturdy, soft feel in your hand but solid protection from moderate drops and bumps.

Yes, it's a little pricey, but so is the phone if you break it and have to get a new one/repair it.

It's great quality period.

yeah the ballistic case looks awesome and protects really you'll love it.

I'm using the sapphire blue regular Seidio and I love it. (http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-sensation-4g-active-case-sapphire-blue-p/csk3htsen-bl.htm)

It comes with silicone and plastic cover. Pretty easy to slip in and out of your pocket too.

I've had the Seidio HTC Sensation ACTIVE Combo with Kickstand (that's the holster and case) on my Sensation 4G since October of last year. Bottom line, once I got it, I didn't need to look any further.

I tried many kickstand covers and cases and general stands for my Sensation before, and none was as good overall. You can see this old thread where we discussed all of them.

The Seidio is pricey, but I now know it's well worth the expense. I'll always buy from Seidio going forward. You can get this cheaper off Ebay than direct from Seidio. See here, both the holster and case in a combo are selling for just under $40. But direct from Seidio, just the case alone cost $35. The combo cost $50 if you buy direct from Seidio.

I've learned 2 things:

1. Buy Seidio cases and holsters.
2. Don't buy Seidio cases and holsters "directly" from Seidio .

I originally bought the sapphire blue case only...and it is absolutely excellent.
I got it shipped off Ebay or Amazon (don't remember) for 26 or 28 bucks.

Girlfriend (same phone) liked it so much I got her a purple one, combo for 32 shipped (no kickstand, just a case and holster) and I quickly bogarted her holster...LOL.

The ONLY gripe I have is when you go to put it in the holster sometimes the upper clip wants to push the top of the rubber case back. You just learn to "open the jaw" of the holster clip to slide your phone in.

We have 19 of these devices at work. I bought a ton of Chinese ebay cheapies...and some people bought their own.
After they see my case and touch/feel how sturdy yet soft it is, they're sold.

It is nice, period. The hard plastic exoskeleton really makes the case, covers the corners...etc.

I'm using the Seidio Active without the kick stand, "they didn't have them when I got it in Sept last year".
It's an excellent case and isn't bulky at all, but like another poster stated the clip on the holster does tend to go under the rubber lip of the case. I've also just gotten use to lifting up the clip before inserting the phone.
Otherwise after 8 months of use the case still looks great, it's a great product.

I bought several cases and after being really dissappointed in build quality, non-existant hole-cutouts, etc. I coughed up for the Seidio.

It is absolutely awesome. As others have said, the look and feel are marvelous - and after dropping my phone a couple of times I can also vouch that it does it's 'day job' perfectly too.

an awesome case

I have this case without the kickstand for 7 months. While I realize having a kick stand is one of the main selling points for you, I can attest to the quality of this case. The phone is wrapped in a molded silicone (that doesn't get stuck in pockets) and has flexible plastic wrapping around that on the corners and side to take the brunt of the blows from drops. It is an awesome hybrid case that is not bulky at all. I honestly don't understand how people can pay good money for those humongous otter boxes that make your phone 3x the size. Boggles my mind. Me and my friends have gone through a LOT of cases. This is my first Seidio. I'm hooked.

I also have this case and it is awesome. It provides really good protection and the kickstand is the cherry on the cake. I am enjoying this case really much.

I bought it after being disappointed with about 3 other cases that I bought. This is my ultimate case.

Very nice case I chose to buy the active one with out the kick stand as most kick stand just aren't of high quality and add weight.

Totally respect your choice. But wanted to mention I have the one with the kickstand and I don't find it to be excessively bulky and has held up well for months. All Seidio stuff is well built.

I really got turned off when I realized the kick stand isn't functional while charging.

That's due to HTC having landscape turn that way in GB.
