Proporta Alu-Leather Slip Pouch for HTC Sensation / Sensation XE

Bad: - The aluminium plate section is thin and flexible; I doubt it will make any particular contribution to protecting the phone. - I've had mine for 2 weeks and the stitching around opening is starting to unravel on one side. - You can't charge the phone whilst in the case. - The inside of the case is not particularly soft; it isn't damaging the phone but a microfibre interior would be better. Good: - The leather is soft and gives the impression of a quality product. - The phone fits well (HTC Sensation). - The pull tab works well; the phone is easy to remove. Overall a fairly good product but for the price I would call it adequate rather than good.

Having upgraded from the Desire to the Sensation I needed a new case. I had a similar design for the Desire and so wanted to stick with this style rather than the wallet type. Product looks and feels well made. It is a good fit on the Sensation so it may be tight on the XE especially while new. If it was 25-30% cheaper it would get 5 stars but marked down by 1 due to the price.

Nice case but offers little protection from being dropped on the open end as the top of the Sensation is level with the case opening. Otherwise it is a perfect fit. The aluminium is thin and flixible but does help to shield the display. Pull tab works well. An expensive case but worth it - needs to be 5mm longer for 5 stars.

This case is perfect for the Sensation XE. The build quality is superb and the handset fits nice and tight, which means it adds less bulk than many protectors. However, with the quick release tab, it is easy to extract the phone. Best of all, the case details are dark red and match the XE trim :)
