    There are four capacitive areas below the display and you can see the display is contoured a bit around the display. The glass curves up around the rim of the front.

    The back is very attractive with three different colors and two soft touch panels to give the Sensation 4G some style.

    The Sensation 4G fits well in my hand and even though it has a 4.3 inch display it closely matches the size of the 3.7 inch Google Nexus One.

    The entire back and sides of the Sensation 4G come off rather than just a back panel. You can see there are several gold connectors that match the back of the device.
