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.
case-mate...tough ;D
Ballistic HC, $30 and Uber Tough

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.

case mate for 12.99
newegg----search "case mate evo" 1st one =)
Amazon (3rd party) has 4 TPU cases for $5.99. These are for samsung tab 10.1 It is a set of white, black, blue and red cases. I received mine yesterday and they are excellent condition.

Each case on it's own varies from 2.99 to 6.99. So the bundle is a great deal.
Even comes with a decent screen protector.
I will try posting some photos later.
I ordered these yesterday and got them today. I do have to say I am pleased with the quality. I figured 6 bucks plus shipping for 4 cases was a good move, especially since my Acase leather case has already failed on me. I was going to just use them in the meantime till I find a better leather book cover case, but I have to say with this case and a screen protector, I feel as if my tab is protected just as much.
Thanks for this!
For anyone interested, DBA Cases are having a sale until the New Year's for 30% on all Samsung cases. Just picked up four of them. Now my whole family gets one. (Except wife who's still on iPhone.) I've tried many cases but I keep coming back to the Ultra case from them. Plus the guy who makes is always available on this forum. :good:

Ordered mine today, thanks for the heads up.
Ordered my Thin Grip yesterday.
Thinking of getting a Thin Grip before the sale ends.
Back in October 2012 I bought a Speck Candyshell for my wife's GS3 (sold by "spdeals" and shipped by Amazon. I got free 2 day prime shipping too). I should have known something was up when it cost $15, versus $35 on Speck's website. Last week the rubber started to peel off, so I did some research online for a possible warranty claim. Turns out the Speck is a fake. I saw this youtube video and my Speck case met all the fake requirements.
So I got a Belkin Max Grip and I love it. Keep in mind I want the following in a case: 1 piece, hard plastic, covers all 4 corners/edges, and slim. If that's what you're looking for, then i strongly recommend the Belkin. The grey areas are silicone/rubber and provide great grip. The grey outline on the back of the case is slightly raised for better grip. Strangely Belkin doesn't have on their website, but Amazon carries it (where I bought it for $9.94). It must be discontinued.

Nice looking case.

here's a photo of the fake Candyshell. the rubber is soft and eventually tears over time. I have a real Candyshell on my Galaxy Note 2, which has tougher rubber.
I just came across 2 Monoprice screen protectors and an Otterbox Defender case with holster for my Galaxy Nexus (that I sold back in January). The inner plastic on the case is missing the screen protector, and the thin edges of the slots (part of the tabs/slots that hold the front and back together) are broken, but the holster and silicone are brand new (replacement parts received from Otterbox).
I hate to throw this stuff away, so I'd like to send it to the someone willing to pay the $5.25 shipping costs for anywhere I can send USPS Priority Mail (small flat rate box, shipping purchased online). I know the screen protectors aren't worth that, but I'm hoping someone can make use of the Otterbox parts.
Contact me via PM if you're interested.
Can you post some pictures of what you are giving away?
