Otterbox for Evo *OFFICIAL*

I just emailed Otterbox to see if they had on their schedule to release a case for the HTC Evo and they just said they were making the Defender and the Commuter for the Evo! Yes! Excitement! I for one am a big fan of Otterbox cases, they will kick Seidio to another dimension! xD

Thanks so much for posting! I'm a firefighter (as well as the owner of a small tech company...lol)...anyhow, these are really popular in the fire dept, very sturdy.

Yes I know the quality of these things and this is the cover we all NEED.

Re: Otterbox for Evo
Keep checking them out on facebook, and liking posts about the evo, the more interest they see the faster they will push one out.

I wanted an otterbox, but they delayed too long and I picked up another case...

That's funny, because I emailed them last weekend and they said they had no plans. Additionally, they've responded to a few Evo related Facebook posts with
"We're looking into options for the EVO but at this time I do not have any details."
So, really, it doesn't seem like they will have anything soon.
They're a pretty popular company where I live, as they're based here. Definitely hoping they eventually make something, but at this point, I'm not holding my breath.

I emailed them too, and they said that they did not know about making cases for the EVO, and that if they did that I should check their website for updates.

Re: Otterbox for Evo
It's nice they have already announced one for iphone 4... Thanks otterbox...

Update for Case #130877 - "Sprint Evo 4G"
We do not have any information if we will be making a case for that device at this time, but it is something that has been requested a lot. It is best to keep an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on our products and new cases.
Thank you,

How soon is the case for Sprint's HTC Evo 4G coming out?

Suck on that.

I think they lost a lot of business by "waiting" to see the popularity of the EVO, instead of having a case ready by launch. Just my opinion of course.

I've used the Defender and the Impact. The Impact is a lighter case made of silicone; designed to prevent scratches and lessen impact of drops. Worked really well on my Hero. The Defender is much tougher and a hard case. Think of the difference between them being The Impact as one of those thigh pads that basketball players wear (soft but extra padding) and the Defender as shoulder pads that football players wear (rock hard and tougher to crack).
The Commuter is a mix of the two, silicon edges to be lighter but still some solid material on the back.

Dude I REALLY like your signature but it makes every page you comment lag like hell.

Otterbox Commuter and Impact in the works.

Here's a quote from a rep about the future of MyTouch 4G cases.
We are currently working on a Commuter and Impact case for this device, but it is still being designed and we don’t have a time table for when it will be ready. I recommend keeping an eye on our website or Facebook page where we will be sure to post more information as soon as it is available. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website.

Does anyone know how the 2 piece tmobile case compares to the otterbox cases

It doesn't compare at all, the mytouch cases feel like they were made from recycled materials I have the body glove you are referring to and the build quality is not like the body gloves for the g2, mytouch slide, or even the motto cliq for that matter
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk

I'm somewhat interested in seeing this case come out for the MT4G. I bought the 2-piece one from T-Mobile, but I would much rather have either an Epik case (loved the one I had for my MT3G) or possibly this one instead. I just sent the company an email asking for an ETA, so hopefully it'll be sooner than later.

cant wait for this!

me too, I'll be getting a commuter as soon as it's available.

I bought a 2 piece case from t-mobile paid 30 for it and I went to take it off to pull the battery and the effing thing broke in half I took back to them and they wouldn't replace the piece of garbage they call a case so don't buy one from them

Looks nice, but what's the difference between this and the other one they sell? This has 3 layers and the other has 5? Just how much bulk does this one add to the Evo?

Looks awesome...idk hiw well it will do with amazon and ebay sellin the HC for 29.99. I alot of females who love the ballistic but dont like the colors. They all got the kracken bc its availible in pink. If ballistic released something in like a pink or purple i know my girl and all her co-workers would get one asap

I would never choose this over the HC version. That is only my opinion, though.

The HC is way too big and feels unfinished when you take off the outside layer. for those of us who don't want to carry around a brick its a good alternative.

Does this case come with a holster?

Ballistic never had any problems with the kickstand. It was Otterbox that had the kickstands that would break for no apparent reason.

Yea it would pop off, and you could put it back on (it wasn't designed to come off). I would personally like my kickstand to stay in its... I guess it would be a socket of some type?
But yea, you get it.

I bought this case mostly because I don't have a desk job so I don't have a nice, safe place to put my new Evo. I had a BodyGlove for the Hero and that did the trick but the Evo is much larger and more expensive . Yea, it made it a beast but it's cheaper than 500 bux. It did come with a holster that keeps the screen to your inside, it comes with a screen protector and the front cover has one as well. There's also covers for the camera and LEDS built into the back. The kickstand though, that's a pos. With a little cutting I'm sure the stock kickstand would poke through just fine but it appears it may lean the phone back too much. 27.95 with free shipping:

Just realized this says "SC" case and I have the "HC" case. Ehh, whatever though. It's basically the same case just the HC one is definitely for those that have accidents with their devices. Not only that I paid less for the HC then they advertise the SC one for so that's another plus. Personally, I like it but if you don't have large hands you may find this a little cumbersome to deal with everyday.

After about 3 weeks with my Ballistic HC I could not be happier. This is by far the best case on the market for strength, looks, and durability. I have not had a single issue with my kickstand. I had read all the comments so I grabbed my kickstand and vigorously pulled and shook it. It did not budge one bit. Either it was redesigned or some of you are absolute cavemen lol. I'm assuming Ballisitic took care of the issue with a redesign

Video Review: Case-Mate Tough Case

Hey guys,
I usually post on the Int. Galaxy S II and Nexus S forums but my roommate recently picked up the Epic Touch 4G so I'm going to start with some coverage on cases for the device. The folks over at Case-Mate sent me out their Tough case for review, and I will be bringing more reviews of their cases in the coming weeks.
The Tough case is a dual layered case that offers good protection and style, although is it a little thick. You can find the full video below:

I would love to see a review of the barely there brushed aluminum case that casemate is making for the phone.

I agree! Taking it off is easy for me, however putting it back on can sometimes be a pain.

For those who may want to purchase one, I've found a deal on it - only 25$ at Accessorygeeks:
http://www.accessorygeeks.com/case-...AMSUNG&utm_campaign=CASE&utm_content=CM017002

Don't bother. I placed an order a couple days ago and it was taking my item forever to ship. I called them and they told me the item was on backorder and they won't be receiving stock till 11/30. They didn't even bother to notify me that they were out of stock so i won't be doing business with them anymore.

Really? That kind of blows...I was hoping they'd be a good company.

I can confirm the item is backordered, they are now saying 11/22, so I am cancelling my order.

I can confirm that too..a viewer told me the same thing.
On the other hand, I've got some more reviews coming so stay tuned for that

Ordered mine today.. had a Tough on my HTC Inspire and loved it.
Amazon has it for 28$ right now

I have posted some comparison shots in this review thread.
To be honest though, I didn't like the Brushed Aluminium all that much.. ended up giving it to a co-worker and ordering another TPU Matte Back Black.

Got my tough case today for Christmas. Must say that I love it. The tpu I had wasn't bad but the added protection and grip of this case is much better! Comparable to an otterbox commuter series. Not super bulky like the defender series.

Lets annoy the crap out of Urban Armor Gear until they make a case for us!

I don't know how many of you guys are aware of UAG, but they make HANDS DOWN the best cases. I reached out to them a week or so ago and they said they have no plans on making a case for the Moto X. That needs to change. We all need to pester them on Facebook and through their website so they can see what kind of demand there is for a case for the Moto X, and I wish to enlist all of you to help me in my quest.
Here is their FB link- https://www.facebook.com/UrbanArmorGear
and here is their website- http://blog.urbanarmorgear.com/connect-with-uag/
- Click the "I have a suggestion" tab and let them know we want a case!
For those of you who haven't been acquainted with their products, here is my review of their HTC One case (which they linked to on their website!)-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2274216

If we get them to make us a case I will buy an extra one and hold a giveaway here on XDA! Come on guys, it only takes a second to post on their Facebook!

I sent them a shout out. I've been wanting a UAG for a long time, but no love for the GN. In the meantime I picked up a Trident Cyclops that I actually really dig. Picked one up off of eBay for 29.99. I had a Trident Kraken on the GN and enjoyed it. Cases are built well, and offer good phone protection.

Hi Brad,
We are listening we are launching several new products and designs and are looking ahead. Thanks for reaching out and considering UAG as armor for your Moto X! It seems like a natural match.

I don't think we have anything to worry about. When you put their response in context with the email I sent them, it's a pretty surefire thing. I rocked the white on my iPhone 5 and on my HTC One, and I will certainly be rocking the white on my Moto X.
Here was my email to them-
I know I have asked you guys on Facebook if you were planning on making a case for the Moto X and you said no, but I was hoping you guys have taken note of the growing popularity of the phone and possibly reconsidered. I really think you guys will sell a lot of them, considering you make hands down the best cases on the market. Last time around I did a review of your case for the HTC One on xda developers (_MetalHead_) and it was met with an overwhelmingly positive response. Many people purchased the case after reading that review. I will gladly do another review of the Moto X case, should you decide to make one, and I guarantee we will get the same reaction. You guys make a wonderful product, you just need to expand your offerings to cover more devices. Lets start with the Moto X!

So. I was poking around on their site and I found their newest iPhone 5c case: http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/maverick
I do not doubt that there will be, at least, this version for the moto x. Since we have multiple colors, they will look for the most cost-effective way to make a matching color scheme for the case. The best option would be to make a clear one. Although I would most definitely choose white again, I will gladly settle if they only release a clear version.

Well I am coming from the GNex with extended battery plus Kraken case. That was a pretty bulky phone not gonna lie as you had a layer of TPE followed by the hard plastic. The Cyclops on my X still feels pretty awesome without ungodly bulk, It still is overall a rather thin phone, and I think it fits better in my hands as I have big hands.

I ended up buying a blue one and it came yesterday. It's a decent case but it does add a little too much bulk for my liking. I do like how it maintains a semi-thin profile but I don't like how wide it is. I'm probably going to use it while at work for now, but once the UAG case comes out then it'll probably get tossed in a drawer never to be seen again.

I know the feeling as I have 3 or 4 rugged GNex cases laying around trying to find the right one. I will definitely be trying out the UAG case whenever it hits the market. I just went with the Cyclops as I don't use Otterboxes, and that was about the only rugged case outside of Ballistic. My profession require that I have a rugged case and screen protector at all times.
