Glad your phone is safe and working good so you can thread crap with it.
Thanks OP, I've been waiting for this case for a while. I have the ballistic now and the cyclops...I may end up with this Kraken now...hmmmmm

Wow, that's a really ugly case... I like it!

It is pretty ridiculously shaped, but does look like it would protect well.
The red one has a nice scheme to it.

It really does.

that thinking is huge!
i guess if I was going into some rough area.. battle.. mosh pit...
that is the case to get.
other wise.. i would not want for daily use.

You can use this case to smash lesser phones with. If i didn't already own a ballistic and seidio rugged i'd give this one a whirl

Picked mine up from here:

I got my kraken today switched from the defender..seems thinner as a whole, but the sides are a little thicker instead of rounded.

Love the case switching from a sedio active case that took some damage after a fall lol. This is a little bigger but much more stylish and offers more protection. Cyanogen mod + blue case + cyanbread theme = matching phone and case. Sick

The problem is in the event of a drop those hard exterior cases chip or crack. The kraken does have a mix of hard spots and silicon and pocketing my phone hasn't been an issue.

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

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.

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

There was one custom one floating around which I saw on ebay, but i read that it covers the front camera, and some people had problems pressing the buttons.

Ya its a pain in the ass to find anything for the aftermarket battery's and doors I ordered a silicone one to help protect my phone just sold my ballistic case sucks cause no holster for the extended batteyr unless u spent 60 on a seidio batt and there gear which is over priced Chinese battery's work just the same if not the same thing my OEM battery from sprint was made in China hope more cases come out so we are not forced to by from one company.

I have a silicon case that I am planning to make two cuts in with a razor which will fit over the extended battery. If only I ever used my extended battery...

The seidio big rugged yada yada yada case works with the chinese extended batteries you just leave the back off your phone. The camera is exposed but its always exposed and the case sits close enough that the battery doesn't fall out.

P.s. its not really called the yada yada yada I just don't remember its exact name. It comes in four pieces: back, skin, part that snaps over/around skin, and holster. I know thats a lot of technical terms but it gives you the idea.

I modified the Ballist HC but its a lot of work and you risk damaging it. Also I have the Seidio ext rugged and like it. Its built better than the standard rugged and I don't have a problem using the notifications menu bar like I do with the Ballistic. I don't care for the Seidio holster though. Rick

I modified my ballistic as well but the sanding and grinding was more complicated than I thought so I just cut a hole in the back to fit the battery door and I can use my stock kickstand and it looks good with the silicon/ rubber case on top of it. I prefer the seidio locking clip to the ballistic, it gives me more security when I lock the phone in it, I wish the ballist had this.

My issue with the seidio holster is if you have a jacket etc. on it gets caught on the top clip of the holster. Hey there's another reason to move to a warm climate, ha-ha
P.S. good idea with cutting through the back, that would allow me to use the 3500 battery instead of the sprint 2600

Battery cover skin

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share with everyone my latest creation. I made a skin for the back cover of my inc2. It is made from glass etch vinyl. I ordered some carbon fiber vinyl which will be here monday. It was relatively easy to do.. if you know what you are doing. Let me know what you guys think! I love it!

Looks good. I was asking in a previous thread about these. I don't know if you grew up in the 90's, but that **** was cool when you changed the cases on your pager. LOL. Anyways...keep up the good work. I am not a big fan of the protective cases, but would love to customize the battery cover. I am not sure why these cell phone accessory manufactures don't make these...you would think they could expand their profits.

I actually did grow up in the 90's. Haha. I don't really like cases either. They add too much bulk in my opinion.

so this is a replacement battery cover or just slides over that similar to a case? if it worked like a replacement battery cover it would be nice to see you post up a diy on how to do this. otherwise, if its like how a case works, whats the benefits of doing this compared to just buying a case? price? and tell me you can clean up the smeared red paint around the htc?

I believe they cover the original back plate with it just to change its look. I maybe wrong though but that's what it sounds like. So its nothing like a case and more like a cover...
I would like to see a DIY guide as well. Perhaps also share where to get the vinyl.
Sent from my Droid Incredible 2

The picture is rather decieving. There isnt any smeared paint. I put a layer of mod podge over the paint to prevent it from peeling up. If you guys would like, i can just send you a piece big enough to cover the back cover with. It would cost a lot less than to purchase the minimum amount you can buy from the company i buy from. I will post a diy guide tomorrow when i apply the carbon fiber vinyl. Let me know what you guys think.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App

Ok so you're just covering the back battery cover? Whats the material like? Is it the soft touch feel like the current battery cover? More rubber/ silicone? Can you even tell theres a cover over it? I like my phone naked, no cover so the feel of the material would be the factor for me
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk

Yep. Just covering the back cover. I like the feel of the phone without a case. I wouldn't even call it a case. It's like a skin. I don't really know how to explain how it feels. It doesn't make the phone any harder to hold on to.

[REVIEW] Ballistic SG Case (UPDATE)

UPDATE:
I have seen a lot of questions about people seeing this case with out the lip portion which is on the top right of the screen. I just found this case on ebay which is half the price and does not have the lip.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Xshie...648123?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a176d08fb
Here is a White version I also found which looks nice.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile
I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.
Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Pros:
1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.
2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.
3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.
4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.
5) Protects the back camera perfectly.
6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.
Cons:
1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.
2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.
3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.
By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.

just saw one too. didnt kno that they started to make them yet. their a little bulky for my line of work. and since im a student im not really in the situations where is need THAT Much protection....but do a review if you get one.

I ordered one. As soon as it comes in I will post pics.

I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.
To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.

The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.

Oh yeah, that was the other thing, the buttons. Volume not too bad, power button was a PITA on the D30.

Got the case today and its awesome.
