Best cases out so far?

I seen a couple at the T-mobile store but nothing that impressed me that much. I guess I could get one of the gel cases temporarily...
 
Why put a case on that sexy thing? Unless you're a dropper, there is not much need, is there? Its got gorilla glass, curved edges to protect the screen, solid unibody construction, and nice soft touch coating on the back to help with slipage.

Because one drop will scratch the ____ out of that wonderful metal case.

I saw the options available at TMobile, went with the gel skin which I typically NEVER choose, but I wish I could have gotten the grey Body Glove slider case. Couldn't get that one because I don't think I would have been able to get the phone out of it. What a shame.
 
I have a few I am watching on Ebay... I defiantly want a case as I am a dropper sometimes... don't want to take a chance with this beauty!
 
My Wife is a "dropper" lol... I always get her a case, screen protector, and carrying case. Usually spares the phone for a few months at least hehe...

Me on the other hand? I have never dropped my phone. I have a screen protector and a cloth pouch, but only because I'm paranoid. lol
 
Yeah its definitely a nice looking phone, just wanna keep it that way for awhile.. prolly just use the screen protector and be extra careful for a bit though.
 
I read what seemed like a good point earlier: if you don't drop your phone don't stress about getting a case unless you want to get one for style. In two years I've had a cell phone now, never dropped it once. also the screen is covered in gorilla glass, the best there is. I'm gonna pick mine up tomorrow and just get the clear plastic screen cover, then see how I feel about getting a case by the weekend.
 
I like those TPU gel case. I have been using them on Nexus One, My touch 4G, G2x, and even xoom. They are snug fit, won't make the device bulky.

I will still get a case . Accident is accident. You never drop your phone b4 doesn't mean you won't drop it one day accidentally. Since the front gorilla glass is scratch free, with the back and edge wrapped around, the phone is protected.

I also found out the plastic edge makes the device easier to lean on anything for different viewing angles.
 
The clear one came in today. Its a two piece cover.. It is see through so you still see the design of the phone but it also helps the phone fEel hella solid. I like it

The Gorilla Glass on my Defy has (4) scratches, simply from carrying it in my pocket w/my E72...no drops. If scratches are a concern, I suggest a screen cover. But FWIW, I went w/Body Glove again (Motorola Q) mainly for the kickstand.
 
I got a very high quality mesh case that fits snugly and keeps it in your hand but not making it hard to get out of your pocket.

It was $16.99 at the T-Mobile store.

I agree that the phone is sexy and better without a case but I can't afford to drop it.
 
Does anyone know which of the cases on dealextreme.com might work?

I'd love to keep the phone case-free but it's really slippery to me and in my tiny hands it's doubly hard to hold securely while trying to use it. However, I can confirm that it's very sturdy. After having watched it bounce and slide down six concrete steps of an office building, there's not a scratch on it and it still seems to be working fine. :P *sigh*

I bought this case

SMOKE HARD TPU GEL SKIN CASE COVER HTC SENSATION 4G - eBay (item 250831005532 end time Jul-03-11 16:40:15 PDT)

I picked this one up after you posted it. It arrived today. You can't really ask for much more for $7.

Can anyone recommend screen protectors for the phone? I just bought these:

EZguardZ© HTC Sensation Screen Protector Shield

It was only $4 for 5 so they are probably cheaper quality than I would like. I previously liked the screen protectors from innopocket, but I don't think they make an for the sensation.
 
I just bought a Case-Mate "Barely There" case last night online.



Seems pretty slim and will offer some measure of protection. I'll post a review after I get it in a few days.

I could not find anything for the sensation there.
