You can't buy it online, not even through HTC's own accessory site. You gotta call HTC's accessory line.
Thanks for that. I wonder if it'll fit w/ the High Gloss Silicon case I picked up yesterday? Simply because I LOVE this case. In fact, I don't particularly care for cases and have actually never used one before. But this feels like a harder, much more rigid silicon...if you wanna call it that. It's not at all flimsy and when placed on the phone, gives it a solid feel. I much prefer it w/ case on, then off. It feels more substantial in your hand.
I see the gradient case has a cut out for the volume up/down buttons, but the silicon has little bumpers that make changing the volume even easier since it's on the same plane as the case. I'd imagine the same can be said for the power button. My only beef's that they didn't widen the headphone port enough, but that's easily remedied w/ a drill.
To answer a couple questions, the case lifts up off the glass/plastic screen in the front a mm or 2. This means you can put it face down and not worry about the front of the phone making direct contact w/ any surfaces. It definitely helps to put my mind at ease. When I flip it over, it DOES NOT feel like it's resting on the camera, but I can't be sure. It's still REALLY close, but like I said, it feels less "scary" putting it down. I also have less qualms about setting it down anywhere because of the extra padding/protection. Overall, I would rank this a fine, fine piece of kit.
EDIT: Case is smooth and glossy, so it does slide a bit. But the extra girth around the phone seems to be a good tradeoff. I would say, you have the same chance of dropping w/ or wo/. Of course, you know have a fat piece of rubber on there, so won't bust into 5 pieces if you toss it.
Here's a few pics...
