I love my Nexus One's pouch case that came bundled with the phone. I am not a big fan of adding skins and layers to my phone. I am just looking for a pouch case where it is protected when in my pocket. Anyone know where I can get something like that? It doesn't have to be an official case.
I got a HTC branded pouch case that fit my EVO perfectly from Sprint store. I believe it is 29.99 and if you have premier discount, it is ~$22. I love mine.
Are you looking for a simple form-fitting pleather pouch or something that protects it a bit more perhaps? I can't help you w/the first but I've heard the Lowepro Tasca 20 will fit the EVO, may not be an exact fit but it's made of neoprene and it looks pretty nice if you're gonna toss the phone in a bag at any point...
I've got one I've used for my iPod touch in the past, fits a bit loosely, I can confirm whether it fits the EVO alright tomorrow.
No something simple like you first said. I am okay with a simple pouch to just keep in my pocket. That Lowepro Tasca 20 seems decent. Basically the idea I am looking for.
Yeah, being from neoprene it's gonna be a bit thicker than something made out of a cheaper material but it also protects it a bit more... The top closes w/a simple metal clasp (again, that might add a bit more bulk than something w/o a clasp), I'll let ya know tomorrow how tight it is around the EVO. I hope UPS drops my EVO early!

Got a picture of this or a link?
I didn't see any pouches whatsoever at my store... Just hard cases and silicon skins, haven't seen it online either, I'd be interested in pics of it as well.

Stopped by my Sprint store yesterday and they were sold out. Sales guy actually told me they'll likely get new Evo's in before they get more of these leather cases in stock.
FYI I bought a leather case from verizon for the Droid, it fits the Evo 4g in nicely. But it's for coneecting to your belt. Maybe some Droid stuff will fit the Evo in?
try this maybe?

This is the HTC leather case w/belt clip from Sprint. Specifically for the EVO, I have it and it fits like a glove.

I just got it today. It's nice and snug. I like it.
Any other pouch suggestions? Or "socks" - my wife is in need of something for when she throws her Evo in her bag... The old ipod sock-type cases would be perfect..
I want to get a leather holster case for my Evo. I have the Sprint 2600mah extended battery, so it's of course extra thick. I compared it with a friend's Epic 4G and it seems to be similar in size (just a hair thicker). I was thinking about getting the Sprint leather Pouch for the Epic (http://www.amazon.com/Sprint-Samsung-Epic-Leather-Pouch/dp/B0041NF3PO), but wanted to know if anyone has tried it out or has a better suggestion? All I'm worried about is that it's good quality, good looking case and that my Evo will fit into.
Thanks!
Just go to your local mall and buy one from one of the booths. Just try em all till you find one that fits.

That's what I've been looking to do. I haven't tried the case at a local Sprint store/booth, but plan to try it out next time I'm near one. The problem is that there's only a few cases available at local stores, but online has a much wider variety to choose from. I was hoping there might be something maybe better looking and at a better price. Example: The case I linked in the original post was $15 on Amazon, but if I went to a local store to pick it up I'd pay $35.

Hey not sure where you live but in my area I have gone to Walgreens and they have a big bucket of cell phone cases which are 2 for $10. They are leather and I have like 4 different ones for my EVO. They also have a swivel belt clip
Well if you're feeling crafty and industrious you could always grab some supplies from your local leathercraft store and make one. I carried every phone I've owned up to and including my Touch Pro in a holster I made. To see what I mean you can visit THIS POST in Android Forums.
I really have no excuse for not making a case for my Hero and Evo too. To be a Pete who's frank, I think Sloth has something to do with it. I started using the Seidio Innocase and Clip Holster and found 'em satisfactory enough, but I do miss the protection and good looks of good old-fashion cowhide.
Ok, that does it! Where are my tools and hide?

That is the most beautiful case I've ever seen! I wish I was that skilled/talented to make something like that for my Evo. I LOVE the look of that case. Are you for hire?
I got this case from an amazon reseller. Fits well with this battery and it's really cheap. I'm going to buy a few more as backups.

Used my old no-namer from ebay that had for old ipone. works perfectly even with extended battery thanks to its expandible sides. Its an upright case with leather/metal clip. Cant stand sideways cases and despise plastic clips..just my opinion.
I can confirm the HTC EVO w/ the Sprint Extended battery fits PERFECTLY with the side leather case pouch that Verizon sells for the Droid X I got it from my local verizon store for 24.99. Case is well built, looks great. Only downside is that it says "Verizonwireless" on the case
Anyone know of any cloth cases for the MyTouch 4G yet?
Like a pouch? I use my old one that came with the g1

Hmm, well I saw a weaved fabric case actually fitted to an iphone 3g. I really liked it but I don't recall any more specific information. I will have my friend pull it off and post a link.
Thanks
My fiancee wants one of these, 'cause she keeps her phone in her purse. She's using a camera pouch right now and really *anything that would fit an iPhone, camera, etc. should work for the MT4G.
I love the G1 case so much because the little side opening is perfect to put a charger in while its in the pouch

I recently purchased a similar case to the g1 pouch and love it. It has an HTC tab instead of G1 and from what I understand is more padded also. Mine is pleather though and was around $23 vs the $8 dollar G1 pouch but was worth it IMO.
I can't post links but the PO is:HTC S491
I just got a inspire 4g and I still don't have a case for it. Any recommendations or anyone have one they don't use anymore? Just let me know!

I own the Platinum Series case from Best Buy. It is awesome.
Otterbox
I had 3 of the Candy shell cases for my iPhone, but after about 2 months each the cracked. WHile I had them they were great, but not that rugged.
I just got the Otterbox Commuter for mine and that thing is great, even the buttons are covered, and they are easier to press. Plus I can lay it down without worrying about the camera lens or the screen, it sticks out barely on both sides to protect.
One Of My Friends has a black one, you can barely tell its a case. Ill ask and try to hook you up.

The price of that case is the same price I got my bran-new Inspire 4G for.
I don't know if any of you are still looking for a case for the Inspire 4G (or DesireHD), but I have 10 hard shell black cases with a built-in kickstand. The cases are brand new and they also come with a screen protector.
If you're interested in getting one, please contact me at nkd4cl at g mail. I'd be willing to sell them for $15 + $3 shipping.
I just got a bunch more in, so I could drop the price. Hope this price point helps people out.
Depends on your budget and whatnot. OtterBox makes your phone indestructible for the most part (it's very resilient). If you just want a general case, I'd recommend just getting one off of eBay. That's what I did.
Case Mate Tough Case!!!! (ebay TPU not bad either)
to be honest, the TPU cases are pretty nice. not as much protection as other combo cases, but they sell at the mall for $20 and i got one on ebay for 69 cents after shipping. i had to wait a while as it came from china, but i was pretty impressed with the quality. it even keeps the camera from touching the table when i lay it down.
that said, i ultimately decided on the case mate tough case. it has a rubber inner layer and hard plastic outer layer, a nice ridge around the screen to keep it off the table, full port access, it actually makes the buttons easier to use, its fairly easy to get off and on if you need to but it CERTAINLY isnt going to come flying off if you drop it (i would know, from experience...lol)
my girlfriend has the speck candyshell for her iphone, and its nice, but its kind of hard to get the phone in and out. besides, i think the glossy finish will get scratched up quickly whereas the casemate will wear much better with its textured back.
OH and the casemate tough retails for $30 but i got it on ebay new for $15 definitely worth it! i got the tpu as a less bulky backup should i ever want a "sleeker" case or something happen to the tough one.
i looked at a lot of others, but they didnt seem to offer THAT much more protection when they cost 3x as much. this seemed like the best $ to protection for me since i did pay $50 for my inspire lol
My favorite cases hands down are Seidio cases. Fantastic quality, inexpensive, and they are very clean looking. I've used Seidio on my last 2 phones and will continue to use them on future phones that I own. I swear by them.

You can attach a charm to any phone and most phone cases with an inexpensive little "O" ring device. You might be able to find one at a store that sells phone accessories or you can buy them online.
it looks good
My brother got me a rooted evo on the local classifieds a week ago to replace my htc hero(Best birthday gift I've ever gotten from him ), so I went into the sprint store and bought an otterbox defender case for $50. I really want to hold on to the evo until something worthy of an upgrade comes out so I figured I couldn't go wrong with the case.
PROS
Build Quality - simply amazing, it makes me want to throw the phone off the 5th floor of my building to test it out
Included belt clip - Lets face it, the case makes the phone bulky and the 4.3 screen adds up to its size. The clip is well made and the case is sturdy in it, doesn't feel like its going to fall off.
CONS
Price - A little steep at $50 but you get what you pay for... which is peace of mind
Plastic Kickstand - The case covers the whole phone, including the metal kickstand. Otterbox designed a second kick stand which is made out of plastic in order for users to keep this feature, the kickstand broke the other day when I gently popped it out in order to show some friends a video during lunch(Hella embarrassing lol).
Heres where customer service comes in, I called them, call got answered almost instantly and I explained the kickstand issue to the rep. I asked him if I could get a new kickstand shipped out so I could use my case again(looks fairly easy to replace). Without asking any questions he asked for my address and shipped out a new case for me. I quickly realized that those $50 I spent really paid off in the end.
Overall the case may have some quality issues with the evo 4g due to the kickstand, but overall great quality and great customer service make me a happy camper
All future cases on my phones will be otterbox cases
I had the same experience with my wife's Nexus One and my HD2 otterbox.
The hard plastic breaks fairly easy but just a phone call to them will get you a brand new replacement in one week.
Otterbox is one of the few companies that still recognizes the importance of excellent customer service. The kickstand issue with the Evo 4G is a fairly common problem, but Otterbox is quick to replace it. Due to their quality and outstanding customer service I have a Defender and a Commuter case for my Evo 3D. The quality of the Defender is even better for the 3D model, AND smaller!! Some of the Commuter cases have an issue with the inner silicone not being tight at the top of the phone. 5 minute phone call with no questions asked and I have a new Commuter case scheduled to arrive this Friday. I had an issue with my Ballistic HC on my Evo 4G and Ballistic acted like the could care less, and told me I would just have to buy another one...... no thanks! These incidents have assured me to be a life-long Otterbox user, an just keeping Ballistic in mind as another option.....if desperate
Big props to Otterbox!!!!
I love otterbox....I have one too. I do have a question tho... If you buy an Otterbox off ebay, and not directly from the company, will they still support the case or do you have to buy it from them directly or an affiliate?

They will support it, heck! I got the one for my HD2 off Craigslist and they still do.
So feel free to buy them off Fleabay.
Supporting the kickstand?
Do they just replace it with the same thing or is it new and improved? They only thing I absolutely hated about the case was the kickstand.
Also the holster's clip can latched in an "out" position to hold phone in portrait on a table too
They have sent me a couple of commuter cases with zero problems after the silicone near the bottom of the phone became flimsy. I didn't want to get another one when the issue occurred for a third time and asked if I could upgrade to a defender series. I told them I would even foot the bill for the price difference and they told me don't worry, we will send you a defender.
Great customer service, but a rushed build for the Evo. The iphone case looks way better, but then again the curved shape and camera sticking out of the Evo didn't help much in terms of making the case.
I switched cases with my brother today (gave him my defender while his gets replaced)
the rubber got flimsy and came off the plastic, he didn't notice and he clipped it on his belt, when he took it out the rubber got torn.
Called otterbox and they sent me a replacement(waiting for it)
Since he works in construction, I gave him my defender so hes protected while I wait for his replacement.
I agree Otterbox is great. I have a commuter case and wanted a new screen protector film. I couldn't find them anywhere on their site so I called to ask where I could order one. She said "you can't order them because they are a warranty item. Let me get your address and I'll send you a couple". Amazing!
I love my otterbox defender I'm never going with any other case you just cant beat there warranty

Hello. Sorry if this is considered trolling. But....
I bought the otterbox defender a while back and the silicon rubber outer shell is flabby and its got a big air bubble thing goin on on the back. And it doesnt stay streched tight. Has anyone else had this problem with the defender?

Nope, only issue I notice is when charging the bottom part pulls away from the phone a bit but thats it
Ok. Well I contacted otterbox with an email. Hopefully they can get back to me within the next few days.

Good impact protection for a silocone case.
The silicone on my defender is flabby and stretched out. So otterbox is sending me some new silicone skins. Will be here in 8 days

Having personally used this case, I have to say it is pretty good. I bought it from a guy at a sprint store secondhand (he was upgrading to Evo 3D) for 40 dollars give or take. It retails for about 60 or so, (in the store it did that is) so i felt I got a good deal, even though i neglected to look online for better deals. Anyways, it does what it should, and keeps my evo pristine looking. The only thing is that the plastic kickstand is prone to breaking. It's not that big a deal though, since even though I am not the original owner of the case, I am getting a new one shipped to my house for free. You can't beat customer service like that.
