So I'm getting a little bored with my old hard-shell case I bought at Radio Shack when I got my Evo. Anybody have any recommendations for some replacements?
Direct link appreciated, would prefer it to be from Amazon or other online retailers.

Otterbox
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
That's what I was looking at, just wondering if there's anything else out there that's better.
I use the Trident. Its just like a otterbox. Love it
I don't like different colors, I'd prefer it to be all black, in which the closest I could find for Trident is the Black/Grey Scheme, but overall the case is just too bulky for my likings.
So I'm looking at this one atm, thoughts? http://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Comm...WE1A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1306283018&sr=8-2
Na just get the defender its pretty good looking. And not make the evo fat
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well the Defender is nice and it's not too bulky, I just didn't like how you can't use the kick-stand with it...
Not like I actually use it, but it's fun to play with.. LoL
EDIT: Just realized it does have a separate kick-stand, awesome!
Going to bring back an old topic.
Is there a difference between these two Otterbox Defender's, besides price?

I use the Seidio with the waist clip. Very solid.

Came across a deal on cases for the Evo while looking for a Dell Streak case. Thought I would come over and post it, my buddy said its a good case. Didnt do too much research but I think its like a 50 dollar case, anyways $7.95 shipped.
http://www.emtcompany.com/platinum-series-case-for-htc-evo-mobile-phones/1003917.html
heres an old thread with some reviews, thanks to the fancy similar threads thingy:

nice fined mine broke and was about to go get a new one
Thanks for the find good deal I picked up one also.
that scares me a bit
I'll be the guinea pig! I just ordered 2 of them for that price. I figure if they try to screw me I will file a paypal dispute. They also have the platinum innocase with holster for the epic for like 6 bux. If the defender arrives and it's legit I'm probably gonna buy a bunch and distribute them to friends.
Great find..
was going to order one but seen no idea how long shipping is
From the reviews I read shipping doesn't take to long. They are based in California.

The site says its a seidio case but if you go to the seidio website they don't have a platinum series case listed.
"platinum" is indeed a sedio case its just been rebranded for best buy. Check bb site and you'll find it .

Oh OK I did not know that
Anyone have a video review or something of this case? I cant find some decent pics of the case to see how bulky it is. The best buy site has a front view of the case on the phone and it looks really bulky.
I believe its actually the innocase rugged,more reviews found here

There are a ton of reviews on YouTube. Here is one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgrDNmJwfHA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I got this case when they first came out and was not satisfied with it at all. The outer skeleton broke for no apparent reason and I ended up having to cut all the port covers off because the silicone was tearing. You can't really go wrong for 8 bucks though. The inner layer is the regular innocase so you can use that on it's own and Seidio's screen protector is definitely the best I have ever used.
The case is quite bulky, but all rugged cases are. I now have a Ballistic case and it adds even more bulk than the Seidio.

unbelievable deal.... i bit on one.
this is clearly a pricing error, but i ordered 10 anyways. expecting a refund any minute now...
edit: maybe not, its on their twitter feed too, and they have other seidio products at that pricing. amazing.
On the bandwagon I go....
If you miss out, DONT WORRY, I'll have them on eBay next week for 3x the price
Just got my tracking # today.

i bought 2, why not? Having a cheap case is always nice
Hey guys I literally just switched over to the evo last night from an epic and so far I love it =D It came with a rubber silicon case but I hate having to move something with a silicon case in and out of my pocket. So im looking for your guys help. My favorite case so far for the Evo is this -
http://cgi.ebay.com/XMATRIX-White-H...990962?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27ba0abef2
Just a nice bright white, snap on hard case. But I was going to see if anyone knew of possibly a higher quality one? Or primarily one without the holes in the back?
Any and all help is appreciated!
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
D3luSi0n4L - proud new evo owner =D
seidio makes the innocase II in white I believe, check their website.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Hmm that does look like a nice case, i really like the white surface, but man $30 is a bit steep =/ I'd rather pay $8 for this with holes in the back, it doesn't look too bad.
Thanks!

I really thought the price for the seidio cases were expensive too until I bought one. The quality is great. I absolutely love them. Especially with the holster that u can get with them. If u look on eBay or Amazon u can usually get them for less than that. Also, best buy sells the same thing but the brand name is "platinum". They are made by seidio though. And there usually slightly less than the actual seidio brand.

As badly as I have wanted to change the overall color of my EVO, I never wanted to suffer losing the "thinness" of the phone that you lose with a case...
When I first bought the phone I bought a Platinum case and it was fairly nice, but after I ditched it after a couple months I can say I'll never go back...
Hey all,
So im in the market for a new case. Currently im using the Monaco aluminum case. I still love the thing, just growing bored with it. What im looking for is something on the slimmer side with a decent industrial look. I've gone through hundreds of pages on Google shopping, amazon, eBay, places like that.
by industrial i mean something that looks very sturdy and hard edged. I really don't want to add much bulk though, the evo is big enough on its own.
Has anyone seen something like this? iv been looking for the past couple weeks off and on, so far i got nothing.
Any and all help is deeply appreciated.
Trident EVO case is good and durable. It also is slimmer than most cases, low cost too

I'll second the Trident case. I've had mine for about 4 months, works well, amazingly durable. Now, if I could only get it cleaned from the inside.
What do you use to clean the screen cover?
I've had my seidio active for almost a year on my evo.definately give it a look
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I would look at the pyrrhic line the commuter case is good and durable but I use the defender series adds a little bulk but not much plus it's got a membrane over the screen to give I there layers of protection (hard case covered in a silicone sleeve plus screen membrane) well with the money.

Cool Beans! thanks for the help people. now i gotta choose between the otterbox and the trident...
If You're Still Looking
Don't know if you've already bought your case by now, but I just posted this on another thread. I HIGHLY recommend the Otterbox Commuter series case. I've had it for almost a year now, and it is amazing. I've been pretty rough with my phone, but it has saved it from any sort of damage. It provides fantastic protection and feels solid and strong in my hands, but at the same time it doesn't make the phone seem bulky and has a great very smooth, sleek, thin feel to it. Definitely the best of both worlds in terms of balancing strong protection with sleek good looks. IMO, the Trident case looks much too bulky and adds way too many bumps and curves to the phone.
Another thing I love about Otterbox is their amazing customer service and 1-year no-questions-asked warranty guarantee. I recently broke the case itself somehow (the phone stayed completely protected though) so I emailed their warranty services and told them, and they simply asked for my shipping address and sent me a new case in under a week! They didn't even ask for a copy of the receipt or pictures of the broken case. It was the fastest, easiest warranty claim I've ever had.
If you do go for an Otterbox, definitely buy it off eBay and not retail. You'll save yourself a good $20-25. It's about $12 new on eBay (cheaper than the listed Trident cases). I'd post a link, but I'm still a noob
I stopped looking a while ago. i cant find a case i really like. My aluminum case is super awesome for protection, and is really cool that i can say its a metal case, but as i said before i just want something new. this time around i was basing this search mostly on looks. I couldn't find anything that impressed me so for the time being I'm gonna stick with the aluminum.
Gotchya. An aluminum case sounds pretty sweet. Can you post a link to the one you're using? I think I might want to check that out

Just letting you know if you bought from a corporate sprint store it has a one year warranty for replacement for any and all damage. Also I have been looking for a white one with a kickstand as well and have not been able to find one

Casemate POPin wihte...google it.
1. Sorry to hear about your broken case.
2. Rule of thumb: never, ever buy accessories in-store. The markup is ridiculously high. You're just flushing money down the toilet. See the links I've posted below, they charge a whole lot less for cases made essentially by the same people (China), and they're Still making good profit. Of course, if the item is a brand name item like for example Seidio, Case-Mate, Zagg, etc., you'll still get a better price online, just not as steep a discount as comparable items. Your best bets:
Generic, white on white
Generic, white on black
Generic, white on black (different seller)
Like the one Sprint offers, but the white version
Case-Mate Pop! Case
Case-Mate Pop! Case on Amazon
If you plan on buying one of the "Generic" ones above (which also come in other colors), be sure to do the modifications to the case as highlighted on Youtube by nerys71. And if I'm not mistaken, he's also a user on here in the forum. Shout-out to you, bud.

Here is a whole list of those hybrid case with kick stand
thanks every1 much appreciated
and is the white/white heavy duty really fat?
FWIW I'm very happy with my Pop! Case-mate from Amazon
I have a casemate pop as well, and it's a really nice case.
Does the case pop by chance fit the seidio active holster? Anyone know? Thank you in advance!

White hybrid case with kickstand
Check this one out I asked my coworker if his site carried them and showed me these. They ship out of Oklahoma City, OK and very quickly. They have lots of cases for our phone.
I personally rock this one from them with my white E4GT.

I've seen several places online that sell them(this seller had the best price), now they're nowhere to be found. Your best bet currently is to contact the eBay seller and ask if they'll be getting more of that case any time soon. Keep looking on eBay, Amazon, and Google, it might pop-up somewhere if a seller gets a shipment of them.
I'm not much of a fan of that case. When I first got my E4GT, I remember buying the black version of it. It seemed to be more of a tray that your phone popped into than a case. The coverage around the phone wasn't good, especially at the top and bottom of the phone. And the kickstand was extremely hard to open (on the one I got at least) and seemed cheap and couldn't stand the phone up-right. But hey, whatever floats your boat. To each their own.

Thanks! I'll post here if I find them again...

Oooo I kinda like it. But I probably would never use it and I need to slow down with all the cases im buying...Im up to 4 now...

I have that case for my GSII. I'm guessing it won't work because it fits pretty close to the phone at least for me. I could be wrong though. I am planning on getting the one that looks like a controller at some point and I'll let you guys know as I have ordered the Nexus and the extended battery.
Keep us updated
I like the Audio Cassette tape one linked at the bottom. lol.
No way am I giving up my Ringke Slim after finally getting one for the LTE Extended battery.
If it was a TPU case I would definitely get it. I love the material on the Cruzer Lite cases.

Again, I am only speaking on behalf of my GSII which I just sold, but, it didn't feel like it gave me drop protection when I had this case on. If that's the reason you have a case you might want to look elsewhere. It didn't even cover the front chrome completely.
Edit: Although, everyone loved it! People would actually call my phone my gameboy and it was a great conversation piece. Probably the only case I've had on an Android that people with iPhones were jealous of.
I wonder if that would fit the LTE version as well?
This skin seems pretty cool actually

The biggest problem with these cases is that it looks like it covers the secondary noise cancelling mic. I might do something like this mod with a clear TPU case.

Seems interesting, i wonder what will be the final product on how these will fit.
Is this site reputable? I would like to order one of these to the UK.
Anyone have any experience with them?
