I've got mine too after he/she shipped my item, so I guess this seller might be sent this to all of his/her customer just to remind that the shipping can be late due to the Christmas.

If you have a tracking number(I got it,but I don't know if this because of I have paid extra on shipping) you can track from this website "http://www.17track.net/IndexEn.html".I've tried to track everyday and this day(10 DEC in Thailand) it's just show that my item was at transit office at 8 DEC , so I think you might be wait for the delay about 2 days of tracking website too.
[HTC Sensation] bone$:
I don't think that's anything to worry about. I got the same email the day of shipment. Mine has already shipped with tracking # and I didn't pay for one.
[HTC Sensation] aw1974:
I ordered from them on November 30 and received the same message the following morning. Still waiting on it.
[HTC Sensation] :
I got some tracking information. It was officially shipped to customs something like 7 business days after I paid. 3 of those business days were due to the damage of the original one I wanted, so they waited 4 days to ship it for some reason and it's still sitting in China.

Avoid digital_supermarkets.

Ordered this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180769830911#ht_4853wt_1027 yesterday at $29.. but now its at $32.. :)

I have good faith in the company (Good reviews).. But im abit scared of the order time and christmas and all that, i might actually not get it before christmas..

Thanks for the tips in here btw..
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
ni.1-tech updated the listing with a higher US$32.42 price on the listing recently, so that accords with the posts above.

Mine was this one, note there is no tracking number but the status is listed as 'shipped' (probably when I receivd that e-mail two days ago):

NEW White OEM HTC Sensation XE Z715e Housing Battery Ba... (180769830911)

Sale date: 08/12/11

Tracking number: --

Should I expect a tracking # from this seller? Since the eBay status is shipped I would have liked a message confirming it was sent.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
You should get a tracking number after shipment. Have you emailed no-1tech yet?
[HTC Sensation] ercliou:
Aghh.. I'm still waiting too!

Paid on 19th Nov..

I get disappointed everyday when I come home and see that my case is not waiting for me :(
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
I replied to that earlier, weird e-mail from no.1-tech, to ask for confirmation that the item has shipped and to add the tracking number, once it has shipped.

I'll post an update when I get a reply.

Thanks for suggesting I ask. I figure it has shipped, but they haven't actually confirmed that in a message.
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Are TMOUS Sensation 4G users noticing increased signal with the 3 antenna connections vs. 4 (stock) covers?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Actually I notice no difference at all. Which is fine. At least it's not negatively affecting it, I figure.
[HTC Sensation] secano:
Who did you order from?

I paid on Nov 27th and still waiting... :/ (no-1 tech)
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
no.1-tech replied within hours of my question about shipping and not getting a tracking number on the item listing:

Note that you may get tracking numbers for US deliveries but not to other countries.

It looks like no.1-tech is using a new table for shipping times, for Christmas, with longer times, which might affect December orders.

Did you contact no.1-tech and ask for confirmation of the date it was sent?

Did you get a similar reply to mine?

From their eBay listings, they show a table (probably from the HK Mail service they use for free shipping) and the table shows most post to Australia takes around 2 weeks.

I hope this helps and I am expecting to get the item sooner than the '25-35 working days' e-mail above promises.

So I pulled the trigger on one of these after seeing your great posts. Thanks!

Also, got my white housing with beats logo today, 6 DAYS FROM HONGKONG TO UK!!!!!

That's the case I got but hated how unaligned the holes were at the top. Especially the power button. I got it free when I complained and showed them the defect as well.

This case below, imo is the best one to show off your white back! tbh, I like the other one more but the fail alignment makes it look ugly. So I got myself this and LOVE it so far. One problem though, the usb port is a little small so as you can see in the pictures.. I just grabbed a knife beside me and dug into it a bit to make it fit. Didn't completely finish working with that yet though, hence the ugliness of it. If you're wondering, yes you can still charge it with their port but if you use it while charging... it tends to fall out!

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/190549172494...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2295wt_1185

I'm just a bit surprised it's only sold one so far...

Anyone know a better one? I love this one and thought I should share but sort of prefer something similar to the one which isn't as aligned properly
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Im waiting on this one. The initial one I got from another seller gave me the wrong color, but I got another one coming in clear. The smoked one is for sale if anyone wants it. 20USD Shipped in the US only. Sorry.

EDIT: Just got my mail and the clear case is in! Pics of the case will come but I my mem card on my cybershot is shot (pardon the pun) so all I have is my Sensation cam which I'll use to snap a few pics of the clear-ish case :)
[HTC Sensation] :
Well, while I don't have it yet, it's about a fourth of the United States away in Illinois, I'm in Virginia 10 miles from the ocean, so it should be here in two days or so. For anyone who hasn't seen, I've been waiting for mine for two or three times longer than most people.
[HTC Sensation] rapis:
its a stock ics =)
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
:eek:

I found this smoke clear case on Ebay, I messaged the guy to ask if it was clear smoke because the item description wasn't clear. I got it for $3, Next morning he had jacked the price up to $23.
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
Link if you can? am thinking to get one as i have found in the past for people to put prices up to protect them from running out of stock whilst they are getting more

Lmao! I was gonna say yes, I know, pics or it didn't happen. Post in a few minutes....
[HTC Sensation] aw1974:
White back cover from No.1 Tech. I'm guessing everyone else who ordered from them got 3 antennas?
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Well mine is only three and phone still works fine. So You got some extra copper :p
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
Oh cool, if It's got all 4 antennas I might pick one up for my wife :)
[HTC Sensation] wallendiaz:
I have 2 weeks with mine and it is beginning to creak at the bottom
[HTC Sensation] moshe22:
Is the creaking really bad or is the creaking the same as the stock back cover.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
No creaking here that I can tell. But I am using a aprolink hybrid tpu case tho.
[HTC Sensation] wallendiaz:
I also use a case but yesterday decided to remove and then I started to hear the creaking, I hate that.
[HTC Sensation] wallendiaz:
the creaking is like the stock, I hate this sound and the sensation in my hands as the phone is broken, I think I'll buy another one but at a different seller :'(
[HTC Sensation] jhobert:
Nice one!

I started noticing the creaking when you mentioned it yesterday. Mine only creaks when I press it a bit hard. (White regular cover from no.1-tech)

3 antenna from no.1... ordered on Dec. 9th... came in today.... no probs so far.... my phone looks fresh!

Please post a link where to buy plz!!!!

Already had a look for it on ebay, but didnt find it.

Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] :
I finally got it. Took three weeks but it's nice. Looks great, and glad the first batch got damaged and they sent me the XE/Beats one instead, I like it better.
[HTC Sensation] snwahs:
Received mine today from no.1-tech seller on ebay... excellent packaging (almost too good) item was exactly as described http://bit.ly/rq21zJ and looks damn good! Ordered 12/6, 13 days free shipping from HKG isn't bad at all.
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
Good shipping result! Lucky for USA customers, since you are quoted 7-30 days.

Mine was shipped December 8, so I am hoping it arrives in the next 2-3 days before the office closes.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Anyone found anything for cheaper? Can't really justify paying $30-35 for a back cover. I'm going to call HTC and see if I can get a free one, sometimes the reps are cool when you order parts.
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
Haha, I have a cheap (maybe not working) idea for you, since you just want cheap... dummy phones sell for less than the battery cover!

If you could find one at a shop, you could check if the battery cover in the dummy also has the antenna contacts. I have seen the dummy phones on eBay for half the price of the battery cover.

Cheep, cheep, cheep! Get the look and maybe the function!

I've only seen the black Beats case, no white dummy cases so far. Good luck!

Maybe the rep will send you a dummy phone if you ask. Just an idea and the worst that would happen is you mod it if it's missing the brass contacts. :)
[HTC Sensation] MissTiffany2U:
Got my frame a few days ago from no. 1 tech... I have 4 contacts as well. I guess it's just hit or miss??
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I see three?:confused:

This is 4
[HTC Sensation] MissTiffany2U:
you're right. I was counting the bottom ones separately.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
NP Thought *I* was goin loco lol...
[HTC Sensation] GTR24:
Thanks for the tip. I just ordered mine from directgadgetswholesale on eBay. I'm glad I didn't order it from Hong Kong. I may just wait 3 days instead of 3 weeks.
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
I think I have searched everywhere, and I really really really really really want these white covers. I think I'm going to have to shell out $35 to get these. Damnit.

But before I do,

Anyone wanna sell me their white cover? Maybe you don't like the color anymore, or maybe you think the white looks too feminine, whatever the case may be, let me know! I'll buy it ;)
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
Still waiting for mine (from No.1-tech, via HK Post), so I can't help with mine.

Sort the eBay listings for the cover by cost, since each seller seems to offer them at differing prices and you should be able to find one around $30 or slightly less.

Did you look at the dummy models? Just in case it was another way to get a cover at half price (if you can't wangle a freebie, like you mentioned earlier).

Good luck with the purchase!

MissTiffany2U, yours is the white, non-beats version, right?

Just asking since the first link I posted above seems to have the non-beats version of the cover at a cut price for white as well as black.

I don't think mine will be here in time for the Christmas cut-off. :(
[HTC Sensation] MissTiffany2U:
@BizziBB Yes, I have the white, non-Beats frame.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Dude, the first link brings you to the chassis. That one is 20 bux. The white one is 30 bux when you pull down the drop box.

HOWEVER,

The second link is cheaper. LOL But both are shipped from HK.
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
Thanks, No.1-tech! Mine arrived in time for Christmas!

Order/shipped from HK Dec 8; Arrived in my office in Sydney 2000 on Dec 23!

Case has all OEM-looking serial numbers and antennae.

Hopefully this pic is visible.

Merry Christmas and best of everything to you for 2012. :)

[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
Hey man can i know where you got yours with 4 ?? And how much was it.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
It's actually not mine. LOL it was another persons from this thread. I just used their pic. I have the one with three and the phone works fine. You are in SA as well, which part? I am in the NE side. And I have to say the phone works fine!

On an off topic, I use Waze maps, which is a social app that can be used to navigate and also tells you real time traffic. The more users the better the app. And I see other users all the time, which is cool....ok back to topic...

The seller I think was no1-tech. But if you really gotta know read a few pages back Lol
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
After reading a post on this page I had another look at my links above and noticed No-1.tech was doing 5% off some stuff. Not that 5% of $30 is much!

I'm glad that these case backs work properly with 3 antenae (see my pic above the ones with the 4th, top-left antenna connection).

A search term to find the '4g' version would be useful for future buyers.

Just searching Sensation 4g batery cover doesn't filter for the '4 antennae' version.

I found this black cover with all four, though:

Seller: leading-wireless http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Sensation-4G-Original-Housing-Back-Door-Cover-/140597168780

It almost makes case protection redundant if a brand new body is this price. At least that's what I tell myself until I drop and break it. :(
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
Ohh haha. I want to buy it but im not sure because putting a case on it would beat the whole purpose of it haha. Hey im from the NE side too! Its good to know if buy it i wont have any signal issues thanks man.

That apps seems pretty cool I might try it thanks!
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
HAHAHA I coulden decide if I wanted plain white or with red beats theme, so I ordered both of them :D

cant wait to put my hands on them :D mohahahah
[HTC Sensation] GTR24:
I received my white HTC sensation frame on Christmas eve (3 days shipping). It's an original HTC part, doesn't haven't a beats logo but I don't use beats. I am very very pleased with this part. The fitment feels better than original. No creaking plastic noises. I'm on t mobile USA, and get the same signal reception. Maybe better, less wifi death grip. GPS coverage is normal. The power button seems to work better. But the phone looks amazing, i can't stop staring at it. The white HTC amaze is no longer on my wish list. The silver looks fresh and the white looks clean
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
That's a great result to receive it on Christmas eve! I agree that the new look makes me want to pick it up and hold it more often.

Will you ge looking for some matching headphones for the new look?

If you are intrigued, I bought a couple of white ceramic remote-included headphones (and had a question to Sensation owners) on this Sensation Accessories thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1214380&page=5

I've only had the Sensation a short time and haven't bothered with the black standard earbuds, so figure some half-decent white ones will go well with the white case. :)
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
WTF!

my stock housing, the black/grey one, only got 3 antennas. the top left one is missing!!! shouldent all stock have 4, for better results?

you know, everything wirks, but hey. sometimes i dont get any bars at all..
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I think only Tmo USA peeps have the 4th antenna. But I could be wrong. I use the white back with three and everything works fine. Not sure what that antenna was for.
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
yeah maybe, now when im looking at it, i dont see any space for a fourth antenna :/ the other three have it...maybe thats why :D

so you must be right then, hope i dont get one with 4, since it might not fit then :S
[HTC Sensation] Babydollll:
I just got one today. Seems to work just fine. (I'm on T-Mobile US)
[HTC Sensation] DanRo80:
I did yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] loni90:
i did too!!

i couldent decide which i wanted, so i bought both...

i liked the white/selver and red more, but dident know how good the quality of the Beats logo was, but its worth a shot.

cant wait till it arrives, everyone will be asking if the white sensation is out :D (its not, in stockholm)
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
When you have fitted your silver/white XE Sensation case:

Are you bothered by the black surround remaining at the bottom of the phone? A small silver sticker could help.

Just asking since I'm not keen on a big cover.
[HTC Sensation] X10@Germany:
Are these Backcovers compatible with the HTC Sensation from Germany?

Maaaaaaaaaaaan, it looks very hot! :eek:
[HTC Sensation] DanRo80:
From any of the photos posted by others in this thread, it seems that I will be fine with the black at the bottom. It does blend into the capacitive button area.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I've moved from a clear tpu to this hybrid. Blends everything well IMO.

Surely some people already in this thread, who have reported on the case, will have the exact same phone as you?

It is working fine :D on my z710a (that's the 850/2100 3G version); you can see the inside of my cover in previous posts, around Dec 23. This post (& pic): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20598085&postcount=333

im not a big fan of cases, that makes phone even bigger. dont really understand why plp buy cases for like 10-20bucks, when you can buy a brand new housing for 30, if it gets really scratchy..

but to answer your question, the black space should not bother me. i rather see that then my phone get 30% thicker.

My Turn!

Dunno About the seller, My Girlfriend brought it for me, all I know is that is from ebay and was made in china. My only complain so far is that the white part of the backplate doesn't feel as soft as the OEM one.

I have been using it for 5 days now.
[HTC Sensation] BiziBB:
Looking good, solracarevr!

Ihad a look at pics 2 and 3.

Have you noticed any difference having lost the fourth connector in the case? GPS?

Which ICS ROM are you running? How laggy and reliable are you finding it?

I'm tempted to put it on my wife's Sensation but need it to work well enough for it not to be embarrassingly unreliable. ;)
[HTC Sensation] solracarevir:
At least for me everything is working fine, Wireless Reception seems to be better, GPS is working like always.

Im Running Virtuous Inquisition which, like all the ICS roms available for us at the moment is based on RCTeam's leak.

This is what I did:

Instaled RCTeam's Leaked RUU (Even though I have a regular Sensation, I installed the Sensation XE RUU since the Non XE RUR wasn't available then and I just couldn't wait jaja, to flash the XE RUU on a regular sensation your regular sensation needs to have Super CID) After installing it you will need to do some stuff like unlocking again your phone, install Super user and Updating the SU Binary, install Rom Manager to flash ClockworkMod Recovery and unlock the Bootloader.

after that Boot on Recovery, Ran ADRHD SuperWipe Script (You can found it in this thread) Wiped Cache, Dalvik and Then flashed Virtuous Inquisition.

Im Running this Rom since December 26 as my Daily Driver and I can tell you this is good stuff, I only have some minor issues that the Developer is aware of, but they are known bugs and none of them are show stoppers. I have tested everything except for the Bluetooth (Since I never use it) and everything runs fine.
