two otterbox (commuter) cases going 3 months strong. helped protect during a trip to hawaii. handful of dropsies and zero damage.

A bit bulky but worth it for the protection.

I bought seidio active case from amazon...very durable case. I originally just had the ghost armor (double protection, clear layer and carbon fiber) which protected the back really well, but the corners weren't protected that well. But ghost armor screen protector is a boss, protects my phone from everything.

Otterbox is bulky and the rubber stretched out after a couple weeks which happened with my Blackberry otterbox too. .. the stretched rubber onmy sensation actually causes problems with my touch screen so ya waste of money I got one on ebay for 5 bucks that I think is way better

I'm not able to compare it to Case-Mate case for HTC Sensation, I do have a Otterbox Commuter case for the HTC Sesnation. It is one of the better cases by Otterbox for the HTC Sensation, it is not too bulky and all the ports are covered. You should be able to get the case for around $20.

Not using any case with the sensation, but had the casemate Tough case for my Desire.

It was really awesome in terms of protection, plus everytime I pulled the case of I fell back in love with the great design of the Desire (felt like I had a new phone) :D

Thanks for this share! Just got my S4G and this is by far the best case I have seen so far - seriously considering pulling the trigger. Sad that both the Otter and CaseMate seem to have such obvious flaws... :/

I bought a ton of these for co-workers, we all have HTC TMOUS Sensations.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Silicon...875643?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c20d468bb

When I bought them, they were 1.99 shipped with a screen protector.

Now...it took nearly 14 days as they came from China...and yes, they are a 2.00 case. They do not compare in protection to the 25 to 40 dollar cases as mentioned.

But for basic drops and keeping your phone scratch free...they are worth every penny. Tight fit, buttons work great. They offer more grip than no case but not too much to where you can't slid it in and out of your pocket.

For the money, they can't be beat. However...if ultimate protection is what you're looking for, these are an obvious pass.

And...the white case, although killer in looks...gets dirty fast as you can imagine!

If you are looking for the best case with the best look, protection, feel and all that, check out the case mate pop. Its a tight fit so taking the phone in and out take some practice. It gets easier with time though. I have the white one.

does anyone know if these cases have a lanyard attachment point?


I like having a lanyard - prevents me from dropping the phone when I fall asleep on the bus or train.

I love my otterbox, but I love even more my tough case!

Otterbox for sensation is just plain stupid. Its better materials and better build quality but I really hate that the silicone is not covered on the top and bottom. It really sucks. After a while taking in and out of your pocket the silicone thats not protected stretches and feels/looks ugly!

best protection with space for all the little holes on the back.
only thing is USB port isnt covered. I have dropped my phone down a flight of stairs ( i know :( ) and not a single scratch or ding or anything.
I highly recommend this case! I got the black/gray version. After doing a lot of searching and considering options in stores and online this is the one I decided to go for. It's the best case I have ever had for a phone. Quality built. Personally I thought it looked better than the available otterbox and others. I got mine on ebay new in box for $18.99. Even the box it comes in is nice.
