If you go with Otterbox, stay away from the Defender. It is nowhere near the quality you would expect for that price, and doesn't come close to the quality of the Defender for iPhone. Lots of people have had bad experiences with Seidio as well, their cases tend to fall apart after only a short while and their warranty process is ridiculous. The TPU cases are cheap pieces of junk too. Trust me, they don't look nearly as nice in person as they do in pictures. If you want something rugged I would recommend the Trident Cyclops or the Ballistic HC. For something middle of the road go with the Otterbox Commuter, and for the thinest case possible go with the Casemate Barely There.
Thanks for the info

Or you can get a TPU case off of ebay. Its less than 5 bucks and I like it alot. Its nothing fancy at all, but its a hybrid of the hard plastic snap cases and the silicone cases. It provides some front screen and rear camera protection too. sot he rear camera doesnt hit the table etc when set down. It also wraps around the corners nicely and "Snaps" if you will, around the edges.
I picked up one of these for under $5 and it fits like a glove! It's a thin silicone case and then a hard outer shell, but doesn't add much bulk to my evo. They have other colors as well and it's a US seller to boot so no waiting for a month for your new case to arrive from HK. Remove the @ and replace with a .

I just got the seidio innocase active on ebay for like 25 bucks. I've never like how bulky the otterbox cases are and this case has a really nice feel to it almost like its part of the phone.
TPU for the win. I got a smoked clear one like a month ago and love it. My 2 yr old nephew threw my phone against the wall on NYE. I was kinda freaked for a second and I picked it up and everything was ship shape. Also dropped it once on the carpet in my office and zero problems whatsoever. Totally happy and impressed for $5 dollars.
Tpu!!! Thin and fashionable with a great hint of protection. Luxmo makes great ones with screen protectors! Trust me, I own 8 different cases.

I'm a big fan of the Ballistic case.Outstanding protection. I like the bulky feel of it.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
I'd recommend do some research find which case you like best then Craigslist Brotha. I agree I wouldn't pay 50 bucks for my otterbox deffender series. But I got it for 25 bucks new in box off some guy on Craigslist ill take that deal all day so give it a try is all I'm saying.

Best buy has these Platinum cases which fit nicely over the evo and even on top of a screen protector. Dust accumulates but it's not too bad. Just clean it once a week.
If you end up using a Seido Innocase (not the rugged or active) like I do then you'll have to shop well for an enclosed holster if you need one of those too because the fit becomes different. Amazon is full of reviews of all the Otterboxes, Seido, etc-good and bad. They often come with a belt clip holster that doesn't enclose the phone entirely (for me, the camera lens is exposed)...I like them and use them, but I also require an enclosed holster for added protection in some environments. The Innocase is a two piece case which I like...but it doesn't get torqued around in my pocket like it does for some folks (some folks claim the case becomes loose and starts to squeak--and also claim debris gets in and rubs the finish of the edges of their Evo). Mine has held up well, but I treat it with kid gloves and the phone never goes in my pocket.
i just got the Rearth Ringke case and i like it. granted, i haven't tried any other case, but it's much nicer than the crappy case my wife has on her evo from best buy. it's a nice tight fit and the buttons are very easy to push. it's thin and light and adds little to no extra bulk. my wife was jealous and wants one now too!
I having a hard time picking a case I need help willing to spend up to 30 dollars on one
What are you looking for in the case? Drop/shock protection, or just cosmetic protection? There's a lot of cases, but it's really personal preference.

Also are you using an extended battery or stock battery. That will make a difference too because of the size.
I have tried all three cases from Otterbox for the EVO. They all come with rigid screen protectors (not the flimsy, static ones). The Impact is a silicone case that offers good protection, but like all silicone cases, makes it difficult to get in and out of a pocket or pouch. On the other end, the Defender case offers the best protection, but also doubles the size of the phone. The included snap-in holster/stand only adds to the bulk. Not very practical at all. The middle case, the Commuter, is Best all around case. It is a plastic outer shell and silicone inner providing great protection while making easy to get in and out of pouches and pockets. This case provides the best protection I have seen without adding too much bulk. This case does not fit in the HTC EVO pouch, but it fits nicely in a Droid X pouch.
I use the Innocase from Seidio with a holster. It slides on and protects the phone well. I had one for my Nexus One for a year (I just got my EVO) and never had any quality issues.
I use the Innocase from Seidio with a holster too, but it not worth buying mine already pealling and looks horible
Got my otterbox commuter on eBay for 20 bux the other day after trying out various other cases, couldn't be happier and haven't looked back

I have the 40 dollar innocase and holster. I rolled my ankle and landed right on my phone that was on my belt. case was pretty scratched up and phone flew out of my holster and landed several feet away. No damage to phone and I am a big guy 275# all on my phone on gravel.
It is time for me to get a new innocase because in places it is cracked, but again I did fall on it. I did notice that the small piece of plastic by the power button cracks. I will buy another case but use my same holster, still in good condition.

Ballistic HC, $30 and Uber Tough
http://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-HA0486-M005-Hard-Case-HTC/dp/B004HM8BZI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1302980879&sr=8-2
I used the Seidio Innocase Rugged for a couple months. Never any issues and good protection, but didn't care for the looks and always removed it as soon as I got home from work.
About 3 weeks ago I bought the Ballistic HC in red/black and absolutely love it! Looks and feels MUCH better than the Seidio. I found my self just removing the outer silicone after work and keeping the case on I like it so much. A co-worker also has the Seidio and is now going to buy the Ballistic after seeing and holding mine. I was originally skeptical of the way the built in screen protector would feel, and/or affect the use of the screen. I was happily surprised at how I don't even know its there, it looks and feels like your touching the actual screen. Plus, what other case can you run over with a car and not damage your phone?!
There is an ebay vendor who has them for under $30 shipped, I received it in 2 days....awesome!!
I just recently not only got an Evo, but I also picked up the Ballistc HC in black and red from Amazon.com. I love this case. It does come with an additional rubber cover that goes over all of it but it's just too big for my pocket at that point.
It comes with an awesome holster if you use phone holsters at all. There is a "oil slick" effect if put the Ballistic on your phone. To get rid of it there is the ballistic baby powder fix (youtube it) or you can do what I did and just install the included screen protector that sticks to the screen.
This thing has some serious heft, you can tell it will withstand a lot of damage.
I paid $26.99 with 2 day shipping because I signed up for Amazon prime for a free month. I ordered it Sunday morning and got it Tuesday morning.
I highly recommend the Ballistic HC.
I currently own the Ballistic, Seido Rugged, Otterbox Defender, Otterbox Commuter, and Trident Cyclops. My two favorites out of all of these cases (yes i know i have alot of cases, hard to decide on which to use), are the Trident Cyclops, and the Otterbox Commuter.

I have the commuter as well and the protection is great but the silicone near the bottom of the case becomes loose and it bothers the hell out of me. They will send a new case with the warranty though.
Edit: Just got my Incipio case and I love it, the Otterbox has been retired.
I'm using the seido innocase active. Works well now but I do want to try the commuter. Reason I didn't buy the commuter is cuz the reviews I read about the the bottom geting loose. But tried it on from the store it looks really good.

So currently I have a cheap case I bought on ebay and it's messing up my invisibleshield on the sides. Whenever I grip the sides it pushes up against the shield and dust gets in there.
I'm considering buying a new case but I'm not sure what one to get so it won't mess up the shield. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking the tpu case but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Hands down the best cases you can get for your phone at the TPU fusion cases. All TPU cases are great, but the TPU fusion just has a slightly higher level of detail.
There is a thread in this section about the TPU fusion cases that also has an online coupon code for like 10% off their already really cheap price.
I would link but I'm feeling lazy today. Happy hunting

Used to have more colors but now only have black, clear and red.
Act quick!
I originally bought the black gel skin from T-Mobile when I bought my phone. It was a lint magnet, though, and it added a significant amount of bulk to the phone. So I ended up buying a translucent smoke colored TPU case, OEM HTC variety, from Amazon. It's nice, feels good, looks good, has cutouts for all the buttons (so they aren't hard to press like some TPU cases) and doesn't add a huge amount of bulk to the phone, while also making it easier to hold onto.
I have used the Otterbox Commuter and the TPU Fusion case. I switch between the two. Plus they both protect the phone well and fit inside of my Seidio holster.

Is the Seidio holster you're using the standard one for the MT4G? Or did you have to use a larger size? I'm looking for a good case to replace the Seidio one I'm currently using, but I like the design of the Seidio holster...

As previously stated, the trident case is very good, but if your not willing to spend the money you can go for the TPU fusion. Its cheaper, and still has a modern look to it.

It's not so much a case IMO but more of a glove. The phone remains extremely slim still and its pretty stiff.

Try the Otterbox Commuter case. It's fairly cheap for a otterbox, and it looks like it'd be a good case that would work well with invisishield,
I know you can get them for like 4 bucks on amazon but does anyone have one to put their two cents in? Reliable?
Eh they're alright you get what you pay for. It actually protects surprisingly well from drops. You can get good ones from "mall stalls"

They're great; they're not soft, lint-collectors like rubber ones, but they're not hard and shatter-prone like hard cases. They're somewhere in between. I'd recommend them. Used them on my Evo 3D and GSII. I'd say get them either from Amazon or here (this is the website for real TPU cases): http://tpu-cases.com/ If you order from Amazon, Diztronic is the original seller.

They're a mix of both worlds. It really depends on your own opinion though.
I have the TPU Matte black case on my Galaxy S2 and I'll have to say it's great for the price. I had the Case-Mate Pop before but it made the phone feel too bulky.
TPU cases are a great value . Even an inexpensive one purchased at fleabay works well .
definitely think a cheap tpu case is the way to go. I bought the s-line tpu case off ebay for 1.90 shipped for my amaze
I've used a couple and think they are solid enough. They're great protection but sometimes don't add much in the wow factor to the look of the phone.
I have 4 cruzerlite TPU cases i purchased from Amazon. Its the only skin/case i have ever used on my razr since December and i dont have a single mark on my phone.

TPU cases are the way to go. Gel and silicon are to flimsy. Hard cases make a drop even worse for a phone. TPU cases are sturdy but soft enough to protect when dropped.

Any recommendations? Thanks.
I had the actual ballistic case like that. It will protect it from falls but i work in construction and everyday i got home i had to take the phone out the case and clean them both bc the case gets dust inside to easy. Ive had seidios tridents ballistics and otterboxes for numerous phones. Ive pretty much come to realized the only case thats gonna offer full protection is one with a built in screen protector like a otterbox defender or ballistic hc. Others do offer good drop protection but they just let to much dust inside the phone

The Trident Aegis is a great case and offers great protection against drops and dust. You can find it on eBay for about $20 with shipping. You can't go wrong with the otterbox commuter but that's gonna cost you about $27 on eBay shipped. If cost is a big factor go with the Trident. You get more bang for your buck. Its a premium case at a great price.
I love my Trident but I ordered the otterbox commuter just because I'm an otterbox fanboy

I have a very good news for you.
You can get Seido cases for dirt cheap.
here is why.
Seido makes OEM ( store brand) cases for Bestbuy sold as platinum series.
The surface case. is best buy model call STC21SB. list as 34.99
but if you search 'STC21SB' on ebay, store liquidators are always getting rid of them under 10.
this method can be apply to any phone.. just search your phone in best buy, get the model number of Seido case, and get it on ebay.
I think last time i got one... 8.99 shipped including holster.
I'm using a thick tpu generic case I got on Amazon for 6 bucks it is amazing and looks alright to...... dropped my phone many times it saved it every time even threw it on to a tile floor as demonstration and it feels amazing in the hand cause it's textured

I got the Seidio Active case a few months back and it's been through a lot of falls and it hasn't gotten a single scratch on the case or the phone. It even makes a nice solid thud when it hits the ground so I know it's absorbing the impact. I got it off of Amazon (not sure if you could get it cheaper).
Personally, I have the ballistics one I got for 17$ on Ebay and i'm satisfied.
