Is there any kind of rubber or silicone "case" for the Evo that only wraps around the edges? Basically I just want to protect the edges and not cover up the back of the phone. I think the back is too sexy to be covered up and i don't want any added bulk. Thanks!

Cant you just chop up one of the other cases? Dremel or exacto knife would prolly work well.

I mean i awkwardly hurt my phone in the most vulnerable place. I thought my case-mate tough would be enough but ive damaged my phone to the point where the lens are cracked and the kickstand won't close. I take care of my phone but some things happen when i least expect it. Like when walking through tight places my jeans would hit the corner of a table and crack goes the lens. Pictures and Video are perfect but I'm going to order a back housing to fix the lens and kickstand. I was wondering is there a case that fully covers the lens? Does the Ballistic HC Series cover the lens directly over? I'm kind of eyeing myself to that case but if there is something better, I'll order it. Thanks.
The case mate barely there covers the lens

God damnit, no one knows about cases?
Are you looking to protect from scratches or damage?
I've had a basic clip over case for about a year now and never scratched my lens. But the other day is was cracked. I ordered a replacement on eBay for 6 bucks. Easy fix.

I recently saw a case that covers all ports, has a flap that covers the camera which you can remove, its 3 layers thick. It turns your Evo into a literal tank. Sounds like something that would suit you well from what your telling us. But warning, the case is enormous. You should be able to find it at your local best buy, or radio shack, i even saw it at best buy mobile.
Seidio Rugged case has a rubber flap that protects the lens.
But it does add bulk.

(If you go to buy one, look around. I got one for $8.)
Edit: try a lens protector for $7

The lens protector doesnt cover the lens and i could see something small hit my phone to crack it.
Trident does
The ballistics covers it so well that you'd have a very hard time damaging the camera. It even has a plastic film to keep it from getting scratched

Do all silicon cases when you put it in your pocket the screen collects a lot more dust and lint around the phone where the case meets the bezel?
I got this case from Verizon wireless, i think it the high gloss one.
I love the case because it fits perfectly doesn't make the phone too big. While not sure how well it will protect if i drop it, the biggest plus is, it gives me a better grip and does not slide out of hand so i will not drop it.
Every time I pull the phone out of pocket has tons of dust and lint and so hard to clean without taking the case off.
So I am curious anyone have any recommendations for a similar silicon case that will not attract all that dust while in the pocket?
Thanks
I have the same case and don't really have an issue. Maybe you should put a canned air in your other pocket to blow it off each time you pull it out. ^_^

I have a S-line TPU case from ebay, I find a lot of dust and fluff sticking to the edges in my pocket, but it doesn't bother me, maybe I just have really dirty pockets!
Yeah, I get a lot of dust and lint in there too. I use the amzer case with the Verizon screen protectors.

Interesting thing is if I go naked with nexus it does not attract much dust.
Something to do with the silicon.

Should avoid silicone cases. They are dust magnets and will start stretching soon. Tpu's are way better and cost the same.

Thanks any recommendation which one?
I never heard of TPU that is new to me. What does that stand for?
Maybe I will return this case since it was $24.99
TPU wikipedia link, fantastic material! Plenty of cases on eBay for only a few pounds!

Very much so. Silicone is always a lint magnet especially if you pocket your phone.
I got myself the Barely There Case in black by Case-Mate. Was about to get the Otterbox Commuter but was worried that it would make the phone too big to hold with one hand.
Thanks everyone I went for one of the TPU forgot name starts with a D, rev 3..for I think $10 off amazon.
Will return this one at verizon once I get it
I use the Verizon silicon case too and found the same issue. Thats why I empty out my jacket's pocket completely before putting my phone in.
All the Same
I find the TPU cases to be nearly as good at concentrating dust on screens as silicone. It seems more a function of the protective lip protruding around the edge of the screen than the material it's made of. A dirty phone is just the price one pays for trying to protect it.
Does anyone have a favorite case that they'd recommend to someone looking for one with good grip? Something that doesn't slide off tables as well as hands, and wraps around the front to protect from front facing falls. Also does not make the phone resemble a grenade... The d30 seems highly recommended here but people say that it's very slippery. Thanks!
Sent from my SGH-T989
trident probably makes the best case as protection but dies add some bulk to it the cheaper d30 has some grip to it.

I like the cheap TPU S Line cases that can be found on ebay for around $2.50. The sides have knurls that let you have an amazing grip on the phone. It's thin and wraps around the front as well. If you like blue then go for it. I have the black and blue and blue is def more "fun".
s line case
I have to second the above opinion this cheapo case has some grip for the sides. I noticed that it does not slide on the back either. Hope this helps.
I normally suggest that people stay away from TPU cases as they offer minimal drop protection. I have a d3o case myself and yes ut was very slippery (super smooth) when I first got it. Over time though that slippery-ness went away.

I bought the white bodyglove one from the TMO store. I have dropped this phone more times than I can count and no damage. It also slides easy into my pocket, but for some reason doesn't slide out of my hand. One piece and not very bulky, worth it to me

Quickly grabbed my N2 after seeing your pics Thankfully, no such chipping on mine.
OP, which bumper did u have on?
It's not aluminum, its plastic. The plastic aluminum color simply chipped off I think.

You mean the plastic bezel of the phone? I have a similar chipping which was caused by a drop and now it shows the white plastic underneath like in your photos.

that's why the first thing that i do is to buy a silicon cover

Caseology has a lot of sale on their TPU cases, but I haven't found any good reviews by anyone who has a S3. So does anything have these cases? How does it compare to other TPU cases like Diztronic?
I have one, its matte black with a rough texture on the back, its a great case. It protects the phone very well. My only gripe in the back of the case is unusually thick. You would think that the back needs the least amount of protection. I would recommend it.

I like the looks of the case but I fear lip around screen is not too big(based on Amazon reviews).. Been searching for another TPU case to replace my Zoogue case from time to time but I havent found any TPU slim case that has a lip as good as Zoogue
Could it be possible for you to take a picture with your phone in the case that shows lip size ?
Also, how does it feel in hand, slippery or not ?
Thnx in advance :good:

Thanks, it looks good. You mentioned that the back is thick, is the overall case really thick though?
The feel in hands is great I have no complaints for that the textured grip adds for great stability, also if your like me, some cases make it impossible to put in pockets, my case fits fine. No shoving in pockets required it just slides in like butter.
The lip on the phone is not super thick but it does provide enough thickness so your phone's screen isn't flat on the surface if the screen is facing down. The lip covers the metal bezel on the front, it doesn't cover any of the glass.
The back is thick yes, I don't think it needs to be. I think the main reason is the place you can put a business card in case your phone is lost.

I personally think this is a terrible case. The back is super thick and there is virtually no lip in the front. I bought it and returned it.
