Whaaaaat?! You want a cover on TOP of your silicone case Evo? How is that even possible? Wait for the Otterbox dude. Its what you are looking for.

How about this one: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/d-csl4hev4-hc.htm . It's on the expensive side but the quality should be great and you know for sure that it'll fit...
you need this one

siedio case
yes the siedio case is what im looking for i like the case lke the otterbox with a belt clip but it leaves the sceen exposed... and i don't like that tanks for the info..... the siedio cas is what i'll prob. get.... thank you
im using silicone gel from sprint and over that when im at work i use a leather pouch also which i found on a local cel phone accesories shop, its not the best fit but does the job if i hit the corners of the pouch with a door or somehing the silicone will protect the phone.
only problem is it takes like 5 seconds to get the phone out of the case =( planing on getting one lil bigger soon
I'm going to say this as often as any one will listen, Seidio may make "okay" cases, but their customer service sucks. Pure and simple, is awful.

I decided to go with the silicon gel also and picked up this case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290437641635&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123
I had one before when I had a Nokia E61i, which is thin, tall and wide. The Evo in the silicon should be a great fit, as it was too big for the Nokia. If you like, I'll report back when I get it (and it's easy to take your phone out due to a cutout in the bottom...)
found a leather case
so was at the mall and of course sprint didn't have a leather case that would fit the eve with the silicone gel on it..... happend to stop by T-mobile beacause they have the HD.... and what do you know there case fits like a glove with the silicone cover on.... its just the right size..... happy now....
Good deal! It pays to look in multiple places. I did end up getting my Krusell case and it fit very well, as expected. Another friend of mine saw it and decided he wanted one (I tested the fit with his phone.) I gave him mine and ordered another one...

appreciate the link. mind posting a pic of it action? not sure what you/they mean by rear cover shell that you didnt install. pics would help many im sure
The middle pic, flat and solid with the clip, which is the part that covers the screen, is what remains. The pic on the right, with holes for the camera and kickstand, is left behind as it wont fit over the big battery. Pics in a bit...
That's not too bad, and with invisible shield applied to the back of the phone you would be doing pretty well. I purchased one of the generic invisible shield kits at Best Buy and cut out parts to cover the extended battery and the top of the phone. Looks decent.
Well that's not really a confirmed case, but I can dig it.
I was going to just get one of those gel skins and cut a hole for the battery. I'm more worried about dropping it and damage that way than just a place to hold it.. I have soft pockets LoL
Not 4 threads down

They sell these at bestbuy you can go in, open the package make sure it works etc.
i will be happy also once some cases come rolling out, hopefully soon
My Solution
I used/modified the high gloss silicone cover (VZW part VZW6400SILHGBLK) AND the holster that came with Platinum Series case/holster combo from Best Buy. It's similar as the Seidio Innocase II except is has Pt letters on the back.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3htmec-bk.htm
I ditched the Platinum case (for sale) and just use the holster. It works pretty good and the battery doesn't stick out that bad.
More info about the case here

Pictures below:
That is exactly what I am doing tonight. I ordered a couple of the Amzer TPU cases off of ebay form a US reseller for $3.95 each, so I got two with USPS First class mail shipping for $10.40. They should arrive in the next day or so. I also have another case I am going to modify.
One thing I also did was cut a piece of the invisible shield protector and applied it to the back of the battery door so it looks glossy and protects the back from getting scratch to hell.
I was going to get an amzer silicone case and cut it up like i did for my incredible...i might go with the harder rubber one from verizon so it will hold its shape better....worried he silicone will be too thin with the battery and camera positions...
I ordered one of these 0.3mm "thin" cases the other day and it arrived today. Initially it feels quite weird and paper like out of the packing but once on the phone it feels pretty good. It has about the same protection as the official mesh case and there is a small lip above the screen bezel that it wraps around so isn't going to pop off if dropped like the official case does.
It is matte textured so won't get finger marks or grease marks and also the bump in the speaker area is less pronounced than other cases so feels sleeker in the hand. It works perfect with the extended battery!
Yes it's very thin and I don't know how much it will protect against heavy impacts like the Walnutt bumper case (in the pictures) but the phone keeps its thinness with this and to the untrained eye it doesn't look like the phone is in a case at all. It is semi translucent so the Samsung logo from the battery cover shows through as well whch sort of adds some authenticity.

Does this case works with extended 2000mah battery ? And where did u get the second one case?
1: Perhaps you missed the bit in bold. Read post #1 again!
2: It is the Walnutt bumper case as discussed in the other thread on the first page of this forum.
Does this work with the Genuine Samsung Car Dock do you know?
Was wondering about this. I have one of them thin cases, and was thinking of getting a extended battery.
Youve solved my query!
Where's selling 2000mah batteries cheap in the UK.

I didnt missed it. U said its for extended battery,but not to which..But ok.And where can I get Walnutt bumper? I cant find it on ebay. And which one is better? Thx
i have already buy this on ebay , i wait for shipping
Me too. Can't wait - Looks great!...
On such a thin phone, a thick case feels so out of place....
Compared to the official Samsung case, do you find it more grippy?
Also, how do you find the alignment with the microphone holes?
It's not rubber so it's less grippy, even the Walnutt bumper case has more grip.
Ah damn. I'm just looking for the thinnest case possible to increase the grippiness of the phone! I've got the official case already.
Thanks.
EDIT: Ended up buying it anyway, $2.22 delivered .
bought one too from ebay for 2.28 delivered , nice find
same...
always follow robbies posts on ocuk forum, so i know its worth a punt
Going to sound like a stupid question, but,
What keyboard do you have in the picture?
Haha
I have one of these, bought it off eBay for 99p and I must say it feels very cheap because it is very cheap. This is ideal for just dust protection, the material is just a thin layer of sheeeet, however I wasn't expecting much from it, so you shouldn't either.
bought one. thanks!!
I currently have an EVO with the otterbox commuter case..
It's a two piece construction..
Silicon rubber that wraps around the phone, then it squeezes into a hard plastic case..
Why this is important to me..
I use it as a cycle computer on my bike.. I have the hard plastic case mounted to my bike and just take my phone and put the silicon around it and it secures into the case.. Making a very secure,safe and sleek mount..

I heard there is an otterbox that DOES work with this phone.. As long as its secured enough (not worried about speaker holes or camera lining up) I would be happy..
What other cases have a similar design?
Thanks

The Samsung Infuse 4G otterbox fits our phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419020
Also the trident aegis is two pieces, just got mine in the mail today. If you're looking to do the same as the bike picture with this phone I think trident aegis is your best bet.

hey.. How does the Trident Aegis work??
Its a two piece as you say, after putting the rubber silicon on and then putting it into the hard plastic, does it feel super secure?
Like it takes very hard pressure to take it out.. right?
Thanks
Both Ballistic & Seidio are two piece. I love my Seidio....

There is no possible way the hard shell comes off without the intention of removing it. Very very solid fit.
I couldn't see any possible way it would come out during biking, even during very rough off road conditions (I know that's a road bike, just saying)

The ballistics case would work for that. I have one and it holds on real tight, and its probably the most durable of them all.
Thanks guys!!!!!
I will be receiving my new GSM Galaxy Nexus sometime Wednesday or Thursday after my Atrix (finally, lol) bit the dust. Before that I had the Palm Pre with the soft touch back, and when I upgraded to the Atrix I found the phone slipping out of my hand a lot. I want to avoid that nonsense with this new Nexus.
However, I have rather large thighs & I wear slimming fitting pants (not skinny jeans, but a nice slim cut that's exacerbated by my legs) so I don't want anything bulky that's going to make this larger phone any bigger than it is. I was thinking that I love the look of Skinomi's TechSkin Brushed Steel skin (link: http://www.skinomi.com/sk10074-samsung-galaxy-nexus-brushed-steel-skin-protector.html), and that combining it with a bumper case would give me adequate protection. I realize there are far better cases out there for protection, but something slightly more protective than a bumper case is a level I'm happy with.
Does anyone have any recommendations on bumper cases? Are there any that are compatible with any of the docks, most notably the car dock?
Thanks for the input guys.
Here's the skin in question. I think it is extremely handsome.

I've got a SGP Neo Hybrid that I cut the backing out around the battery door and covered the door with a carbon fiber Skinomi tech skin. You can see pictures in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23152512&postcount=236
It has protected the phone pretty well, I've dropped it a few times, once or twice on concrete. As for a dock, I don't use one but the SGP case covers the 3 pins on the side you would only be able to use the USB port on the bottom. Hope this helps.
I ordered a case from Otterbox after a chat session. They told me it would fit this newer version of the Razr. Well guess what..... it didn't fit. Trying to find a case for this phone is impossible. Motorola has as very expensive leather one on their website but its not available to buy anyplace. Anyone find a case for this phone?
I just got the phone myself over 36 hours ago. Give Spigen time to come up with a case
No skins either. Accessory market as quiet as this community...
CaseMate Tough Clear
I didn't want to wait to use my Razr 5G without a case, so I ordered this one for now...

I tried to order that clear case, but it said it would take about a month to get, so I went with the casemate case that T-Mobile is selling direct from their website and got it in 2 days.
I ordered one of the leather cases that come up on amazon(not pouch), the casemate from t-mo, and the evutec s-series. All ordered on thursday 10/15 so far amazon says its getting shipped, tmo has bee completely silent, and evutec has a tracking link which makes me nervous considering the site said its a pre order... will update with whichever one shows up and when.
Downshift mind adding pics of phone in the case?
How's the Case-Mate fitting for everyone? I got a black one from T-Mobile and it comes off half the time I open my phone.
same here...

I ended up getting the CASE-Mate clear one direct from Case-Mate, and have the same problem. I contacted Case-Mate about it, they asked me to email them a picture of the case fitment. They offered a refund or replacement. I took the former.
I find the case to "dense" thick on the phone, more than it needs to be. What I would improve on it, is to thin out the entire case by approximately half, and leave the "impact" prone areas the thickness that is on there now (the nose of the phone).
The part of the case that covers the smaller display relies on the volume control buttons as a source of retention, and the plastic is weak in that area and gives way. I have not used other cases to date to see what other case manufacturers are doing to keep that part of the case in place. *That is the flaw of the front case cover design, and I think Case-Mate knows about this.
The only 'case' I'd be interested in putting on this phone is maybe a rubbery vinyl skin to protect from surface scratches and keep it from sliding off smooth surfaces.
Everything else seems too bulky... Not that there are many options. Nor are there any skin options anyway.
Well, got the evutec case, here's a pic, I'll start a separate thread to fully discuss it, but the basics are probably don't bother it leaves the bottom of the chin completely exposed not just the usb c port/sim slot the whole thing.
Just got the Evutec case. It has double-stick tape to hold the case on. It isn't too bulky, fits nicely, and stays on the phone. Should be a $20 not $60 case.
