I don't know what type of case to get.
I know there are 2 or 3 main types being:
Rubber
Silicone
Plastic
I want one that will offer the most protection with the least amount of bulk. Less bulk being the most important. Never had a phone worth buying a case for but this is!
EDIT: I know there's leather but that way to bulky!
then the silicon type is for you, it offers more protection.
i've not seen any case made of rubber.
did you check out the other topic about cases?

Wonder how long Otterbox will take to make one for the SGS. I want some defender or commuter series goodness Silicon on the inside, and a hard plastic shell on the outside.

You got to find it
Sorry for bad English.
They should at least publish a picture with that Case actually mounted on the P500....I would like to see that before buying.
I wouldn't put a hard plastic case on ANY of my devices, even if you pay me too
Get a TPU one instead
stupid question: whats a TPU?
TPU is a kind of a plastic. TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane. Its useful for its transparency and elasticity. Its also scratch resistant to a level. Hence can be utilised for making mobile phone cases.

Are most people using a case for the P500? I think I like it without, but haven't tried a case yet. I like how easy I can slip it into my pants pocket and the back is grippy enough and doesn't really show marks as it is.
I am using the amzer black silicon case, its nice
silicon or tpu?
ok which one should i go with?

I would go with TPU because I had bad experiences with the silicone case that I first bought (wasn't from that company). I think TPU has better protection and is easier to slip into your pocket that's why I would pick TPU.
I have the white TPU clear case from ebay. Initially I always had it on the phone but I find that it adds unnecessary weight and bulkiness to the phone. I've had the case off for about a month now and I find it more usable compared to before, probably cos I was always worried it would get scratched.
I ordered the one in the OP and it should be coming in today or tomorrow, I'll take pics, upload them along with my thoughts.
Im not sure if its just mine but the case did not fit well, almost as if the phone was too big for the case. the parts of the case that were supposed to snap together did not make contact. oh well, will have to try a TPU case next.
TPU
Does lint and dust stick to TPU easily? That's one thing I hate about rubber cases.
I saw reviews on the Casemate but not the Otterbox Commuter and I was wondering by experience which of the two are better and why?
I never tried the Otterbox but I do have the active Seidio vase and Casemate Tough. The casemate is one solid case. Protection all around and it feels great.
Anyone else have any more thoughts? I was going to post the exact same question until I used the feature to search

I have the Case Mate "Barely There" and I must say it is exactly what I expected.
Good protection for the phone back, sides & lower part. The upper part (at the power button) is less protected as you can see HERE but for me it will do.
The design is perfect, it fits like a glove; all case openings for camera lens & volume buttons are at the good location, see HERE & HERE!
Also, the cover is very thin (but still plastic so still better protection than rubber) so the design of my precious Sensation isn't ruined by it.
Finally, I'd suggest to use an original HTC screenprotector together with this case. Your phone will last for years that way. I tried an external party screenprotector but that was a waste of money because of the worse fit.
Hope this helped you a bit, as you asked for Otterman comments
I have both of the cases mentioned and i like them both. They both do there job. My only gripes are that with the otter-box case i have to fully disassemble the case to use my desktop dock. I have always been a fan of otter-box and have used there cases since owning my Hd2 and will continue to be partial to them for that reason, just wished there were a kickstand on the commuter series for the sensation when you buy it.
Thanks for the feedback, how are the usb ports on the otterbox and does the flap close well?
Basically between the two you would prefer the otterbox more?
thanks again

Case mate tough case is better, otterbox seemed like cap and the silicone surrounding the phone was just bad
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
with my experience with the HTC Sensation Pop! Case is was ok. The silicone warped a little bit on the sides but it was very durable. Be careful when taking the phone out of this case because the silicone popped off the hard part of the case on the top.
are you referring to the case mate or otterbox?

the usb ports function well, the flap closes alright a little hard to open and close and i have used case for about four months and the silicone surround is starting to wear a bit but this is because i remove my phone frequently to use with my desktop cradle. I like the design of the otterbox more it is more ergonomic in my book. Here the way i look at it for the money casemate is a just as logical choice as the otterbox. I prefer the otterbox just becasue i like there product and had never used a casemate before. So in my opinion otterbox.
ballistic
try the ballistic case, its awesome, and its cheaper than otterbox, i bought mine off ebay, it has a silicone plus a hard plastic cover on top of it, its very cool
I've got the Casemate Tough on mine. Had it since December, and it's a great case.
Nice and grippy in the hand, but won't stick in your pocket like the silicon ones can.
The only gripes I can have with it are that it's a pain to disassemble to pull the battery or the SD card, and it could do with being in a few different colours.
I always like bright cases on my phones (yellow is a particular fave) because I do a lot of fishing, and it's always easier to see something bright yellow if you drop it or put it down in a hurry!
I'd say it's worth the money.
Hi everybody, this is my first post on these forums, although I have been reading them for over a year! Anyways, I was looking at buying a case for my Sensation that would keep it safe, but at the same time not adding to much bulk. I have narrowed it down to 4 cases, that I'm sure will all offer the level of protection I need, I am just wondering which one is the least bulky and slimmest.

I was looking at the Seidio with the kickstand, but I don't like all the exposed rubber as that would make it more lint-prone, and more difficult to get out of the pocket(one of my top pritorities).
Thanks in advance!!!

the otterbox's rubber on its case looked low grade compared to the seidios and case mates. it looked like what trident was using..
i was looking into the naztech but i didnt like how there is a bar on the top of the screen lol. id like to see a review on it. might get the case mate pop
If it helps your decision I had one otterbox which I had to have replaced thru otterbox due to silicone stretches and the phone will actually slide up and down in the case. had the replacement for about a month and just took off the second one today due to complaints of me sounding muffled and any back to the old dependable tpu case even though it is a ***** to get out my pocket and attracts lint it is my fave

Yeah it was super easy due to the hard plastic that covered the silicone layer that is one thin I miss about it and am still on the fence about putting it back on. I will say my phone survived a few high drops ( I am a cable tech and it fell from a ladder about 18 feet to concrete with out a scratch)
Sent From My HTC Sensation 4G powered by Sense-O-Matic
Wow, you just made my decision harder.... !!! Haha thanks though, i'm sure i can't go wrong with either of these cases, but I just want to know which is the best.
OK, I'm pretty sure that the Tough Case and Vertex are out:
Tough Case: I saw that the rubber wraps around the screen on the phone, and can attach lint, also, it does seem a bit bulky.
Vertex: Lack of information is difficult. From the pics I don't think it'll work out for me.
Personally I use zagg skins now. They are seriously epic. I have always hated all phone cases because of the bulk they add no matter how thin. But the zagg skins are tough...real tough. And add essentially no weight/thickness to the device. When I got mine i was trying to scratch the back and screen to no avail. zagg also offers a lifetime warranty, but I have no idea what their limits are on it. Plus you can customize it with any picture you want.
Just my opinion. Good luck with your choice.
I have both Case Mate POP and Otterbox Commuter... otterbox has far better plastic because it cant get scratched at all. The case mate pop looks like it's 10 years old after a week. Still I user POP rather than the otterbox because the rubber on otterbox is like a MAGNET for all the dirt that is around you. I used to clean the rubber, and put it in my pocket, and when I get it out it's entirely covered with dust... I don't even know what were they thinking when they were making it. Another thing about the otterbox is that the earphone jack cover never fits like it is supposed to.
I ordered this a week ago because it looks funny
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Sensat...-Sensation-Sensation-SE-Tut-Silicone-Case.asp
I will order the case mate tough also... I hope that will be what I want at last
Wow, thanks for the info! So which one of those has a thinner/less bulky form factor, and is easier to get in/out of your pocket?
Case
I bought a Yoobao case off of Ebay, I love it. It is very tough and thin holds the phone tight.
Ehh, thanks for the info, but I already have a TPU and while it is nice and slim, I want something with a little more protection.
I'll put my two cents in, I just got the vertex and I'm very impressed. I've had the commuter and didn't like it. The plastic seemed cheap to me and was too slick. I also had a tpu case that was ok but I didn't think it would protect very well and made the power difficult to press. The vertex is quality, looks and feels very nice and fits great.

Hi, thanks for the input! Does the back material make it easy to get in & out of pockets easily? And also, is it thinner than your otterbox?

Haven't tried the Case Mates yet, nor the Seidio, BUT:
Naztech is a POS - crappy build, plain & simple.
Otterbox's silicone is too damn loose - quoting others here.
Just saying......
Well, I've been on these forums reading for about 5 months now, but this is my first post...
I've had the Casemate Tough Case for the same amount of time I've had my Sensation; about 5 months.
The tough case's hard backing makes it very easy to slip in and out of your pocket. The only exposed rubber is a small section at the top and bottom of the phone and a very thin rim around the screen, the rest is the hard plastic. I never notice that it's collecting lint\dirt, except when I remove the case, there is a small rim of dust collected under the rubber rim, but you can't see it until the case is off.
The exposed rubber parts always look clean and smooth, same goes for the hard plastic outer shell.
The farthest I've dropped my phone with the case on is off the bar... so maybe 4 feet or so? No damage to the phone or the case.
I haven't tried out any other smartphone cases, so I don't have a large frame of reference, but I haven't had a single issue with the tough case. Hope this helps!

Have you actually tried the naztech case? I'm sitting here right now literally starting at it trying to find a problem with something and I can't. I can't compare it with the tough case but its better than the otter.
Like I said before, and I don't know if this even matters, the naztech has cut outs for all the holes on the back cover, none of the other two piece cases have that feature.
As far as the plastic, the naztech has a rubberized back which makes it easier to hold than the otter but still slides into a my pocket easy.
i think you guys should check momax case....
For what it's worth...
I picked up one of these on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055DHCKS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Inexpensive, fits very well, easy to slip on and off, isn't a lint magnet, reminds me of the great Boxwave slip cover I had on my Nexus One.
Highly recommended.
Does anyone have any idea why nobody is making these? Something similar to BobJ cases (they only make tablets) seems like something any of those already making cases could make. Yet all these things are slim cases.

Thick sides. You could even put minor ridges on the back to protect that and allow flexibility. Seems easy enough. Could probably provide the same amount of protection as the ballistic cases etc.

Yeah i ordered the one that just started showing up but I doubt it will be thick enough. It's a good example of what i mean though. They could have made it just a bit thicker.
Hi. What type of cases are the best that fully protects the phone? I have read that OtterBox silicone cases are good. Or maybe there are better cases than the OtterBox and silicone?

There are a lots of phone cases that protect phone. Just go to the store and ask... So you can check the quality of it right in front of you. Better yet, you can compare.
