When it comes to a phone as sensational as the HTC Sensation, you want to get the most out of it – especially bearing in mind that top-end smartphones such as this don’t exactly come cheap! Here are five of our favourite HTC Sensation accessories to unlock your handset’s full potential and keep it looking as perfect as the day you first laid eyes on it.
When it comes to getting the most out of your phone, making sure it lasts as long as possible in the best condition possible has to be top of the list, which means that one of the first things to get your hands on is a screen protector. The SP P540 is a clear HTC Sensation skin that clings to the screen of your smartphone, protecting it from scratches and dust. We recommend this twin pack (they last for a long time, but not forever, and it’s always good to have a spare) which are custom-designed by HTC to fit exactly to the Sensation.
Also designed by HTC itself is this Black Hard Shell for the HTC Sensation, which is a more hardwearing and robust alternative the tradition-style silicone HTC Sensation case. They’re much tougher than silicone, but still have all the same flexibility – making them a great way to protect your smartphone from scratches at the same time as absorbing shocks and bumps. The Hard Shell also has custom cut-outs to allow the HTC Sensation charger access, as well as access to all other ports and features.
If you want to go the whole hog with some full-on protection, the HTC Meteor Case keeps your phone safe and stylish. Its hardwearing and highly durable exterior is formed from top quality leather, and the interior lining is soft to cushion and protect the smartphone from scrapes. An interesting feature of this HTC Sensation pouch is that it works in conjunction with the phone itself to prevent accidental screen presses when the smartphone is tucked away inside the case.
Having wheels opens up a whole new world of possibilities – not only for you, but for your smartphone too. The HTC Sensation has built-in Google Maps and Google Navigate with Voice Guidance, which allows you to use your phone as a SatNav without shelling out for the real thing. The HTC Sensation Car Kit has a suction mount system, allowing you to attach your phone firmly to the windscreen so that you can navigate with ease. The mount is fully adjustable, giving you the ultimate flexibility and letting you choose the angle that suits you. An HTC Sensation car charger is also included in the kit, so there’s no reason for you to run out of juice on the go – and even on long journeys when your GPS is gobbling up power, your phone won’t suddenly conk out.
A small thing that makes a big difference – the HDMI-out cable connects your smartphone to your HDTV so that you can view videos, photos and content from your phone directly on the big screen. The cable works with any HDMI-equipped TV, and has an ExtMicroUSB connection which is compatible with HTC devices. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most exciting, and that’s certainly the case with this state-of-the-art tech.
