Trying to decide on a case for an evo. Hopefully getting an evo with my upgrade January first and just trying to do my due diligence. Have an otterbox commuter for my hero and love it.
What case do you have?
Pros and cons?
Screen protector necessary? Never had one on my hero but I know the evo's screen is much bigger.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Aosp froyo, It's the poop!
Seidio rugged
I have the seidio rugged case for my evo. Its only about 40 bucks off ebay. I like it better then both the otterbox and ther ballistic. It looks better...has more protection and if for any reason you ever have to take it off its alot easier to remove then the other cases.

I have 2 Seidio Rugged cases and they both fell apart with mild use. The tabs on the end snapped off and the covers are peeling. The thin rubber also tore off with time.
I have 2 Trident Cyclops cases now, they feel like they are built much better. It seems slightly sleeker but I think it offers at least as much protection.
For heavy duty use, go Ballistic.

i agree with this.
go with trident or ballistic.
personally i love my trident cyclops.
With the Trident do you not have the rainbow issue on screen from screen protector?
Also heard that pictures from the camera have a blue tint with the Cyclops on.
Aosp froyo, It's the poop!
the ballistic has more protection than any case out right now. the design of the ballistic is delightful. it is EXTREME protection. it has a built in screen protector and an additional screen protector thats optional. you can drop the phone from the ceiling to your floor and it will save the phone.. i have a mint grey ballistic case im selling for $30 bux shipped in the classifieds. smoke it over and look at the photos to check it out.
without the silicon jacket the ballistic case is close in size to the otterbox defender. you can use the included holster with or without the silicon jacket if you dont need the full protection. all ports are covered with the silicon jacket on (rubber flaps over the jack and bottom ports) the camera, LED lamps and speaker on back are all protected. the
IMO the Ballistic case is a much superior product. second to that would be the otterbox....
Thats weird. I work construction and trust me ive pushed this case to the limit and its held up everytime. Ive had it since june and it still fits just as snug as day1. As far as the ballistic my co-worker had a ballistic on his htc incredible and his cracked while in his pocket simply by stepping up a latter. The preesure of his jeans pushing down was enough to crack it. I dropped my seidio down a elevator shaft and simply scuffed my belt holdster

yeah, sometimes i get a rainbow effect in certain areas, even with the premium protector. i don't really notice it when the screen is on though.
the blue tint is from the piece of plastic they put inside to cover the camera and led's. i just popped it out.
I think it really depends on what you're going to be doing with your phone, where you're going to be most of the time, and how likely you are to drop it.
To say that any one case is the "best" case for the evo (and any phone/thing you put a case on lol) would be wrong, imo.
Say you're looking for looks -- you'd go for something like a barely there from casemate
Say you're looking for full on rugged protection -- you'd go for something like the ballistic
For reference, I've heard not great things about build quality of the Defender from Otterbox, and Seidio cases. *anecdotal, so take it as you will*
As I said in another thread, I have the Impact series case from Otterbox.
Fits my needs, so it's the "best" case for me.

Unless I'm missing something, they don't make any Ballistic cases for the Incredible...
Ballistic does not make cases for the Incredible. The only HTC phone they have a case available for is the HTC EVO. www.goballisticcase.com
I'm currently using an Otterbox Defender for mine and its holding well. I'm interested in a Ballistic HC because since they introduced it the case looks like a step up from the Defender. I've seen videos and read the personal reviews of people who have had both and the HC is "better" according to most. It all depends on where your phone will be and what you'll be doing with it. I don't really care much about the size. I want a case that is going to protect my $500 investment.
If you want the best protection for your EVO I'd say Ballistic HC or Otterbox Defender. Each is $50 or you can check out the Trident Cyclops which is only $34.95.
if you dont mind the size, the Ballistic blows away the otterbox and the Trident for protection.....
I prefer the Fishbone case...I paid $12 bucks for it and so far it is great for me.

I had the tough case for my Samsung Vibrant and I loved it.
I like the platinum gun metal case I got when I got the phone.
It's lightweight and thin. There is felt on the back inside so it doesn't scuff up your phone. The corners of the front also help to keep my invisible shield in place in case it decided to wander around in the heat.
best case for me
I got a Seidio Innocase for X-mas to replace the one I got with the phone. That, plus an Invisishield is all the protection I need and it suits me. I wanted to try the Impact Series Otterbox, so I ordered one. They sent me a Defender Series and when I called them up they just sent me the right one, no questions asked. I have them both still, but don't use them. The Defender is, well, I just don't drive a tank or work in a war zone, so I don't really need it (and yes, the kick stand on that case is an absolute joke...). The Impact Series Otterbox just sticks in my pocket too much and I can't get it out as easily, but it looks adequate I suppose. The Innocase is great for me, doesn't stick in my pocket, has felt on the back so it doesn't scratch or scuff my device and isn't too bulky. That's why Santa got me another one.
P.S. I think the snap in the back slide-in broke b/c I was pulling it apart quite often to do battery pulls (cause not all ROMs are stable...) and didn't just leave it out of the case like I should have... Only time I've taken the new one off was tonight to put my new Seidio extended 1750 mAh Innocell battery Santa brought in before bedtime to charge over night (ok, maybe one other time...)
Not Swyped from anywhere cause my battery is being conditioned (duh!)
I have the Innocase active in blue.It came down to what I really wanted the case to do for me or rather my phone as well.
I wanted protection first and for most,then comfort in my hand and then looks.
It is a little bulky but that bulk is my protection from waste high drops.My 3 year old nephew has tested it out for me by throwing it on the hard wood floor standing on the kitchen chair...lol
It feels really good to the touch and unless your hands are on the smaller side,you will enjoy the fit.I wear a large glove so it fits me good.
It looks great.The fit and finish are very good.It will take getting use to.A little harder push to operate the power button but a fingernail tip makes it easier.
Now for the wearing it issue...It,while in the case on your side will be odd at first.I am a bigger guy,5`11 228 but my waste is 36.I notice it a lot more than say a smaller framed 150 pounder would but,it does stay put on my belt.I just rotate the top of the phone 90 degrees facing the front of my body and it rides that way with no issues at all.
Worth the money in my opinion.
Is it worth the money or should I stick with one of the other lines that Otterbox has?
I have the Commuter, and it is awesome. Dropped it a couple times onto concrete, zero damage to the phone or the case. I've never owned the Defender, but I hear they have flimsy kickstands (it covers up the built-in EVO kickstand). Perhaps they've redesigned the kickstand by now, not sure. It also has an integrated screen protector, which is great for durability and protection but feels a bit clumsy/imprecise. If you work construction or something with a lot of dust and potential for dropping the phone from heights, the extra protection of the Defender is probably worth it. For medium-duty everyday use, the Commuter is more than enough. It's cheaper and slimmer, although neither case is exactly slim.
Can you get an extended battery with the commuter? I'm interested in getting something durable but will accept the extended battery, really don't want any damage to my EVO. I'm sure you can understand LOL

Nope not with the Commuter. Try this for use with the extended battery http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd4-hkr5hev4x.htm

This is probably my main contention with my Defender. It doesn't really keep the dust out. I usually have to take the case apart once a week to clean the dust and fuzz out of it. just FYI. I would look at the Ballistic cases first: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/htc-evo-ballistic-hc-series-case
i use the ballistic,its an awesome case. my cousin has the defender on his.the ballistic has a water resistant mesh over the speakers also.
i have the Defender and it's taken some nasty drops.. a few bumps and bruises to the case... but otherwise durable like anything else Otterbox makes.

same here .. its a great case and will protect your phone .. but it really doesnt keep the dust out .. im always taking it off too just to clean the inside ..
i have both the commuter and the seidio extended case. the extended is a bit bulky but the ability to protect the phone with an extended battery is sweet. it just all depends on what you want. i rock a slim fit galilio 2000 mAh battery with the commuter http://cgi.ebay.com/2x2000mAh-Battery-Dock-Charger-Sprint-HTC-Evo-4G-/260750806075?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cb5f58c3b#ht_3585wt_905
i have a rooted and nonrooted phone running this and theyre awesome.
with the seidio i use the platinum bran 3500 lithium polymer.
both cases are awesome just depends on what battery you want
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the info guys I really like the Ballistic cases now that I've seen their video and the explanation of what all the layers actually do. I appreciate all the input
I have the Defender on my EVO. I love the case. My only complaint is that it is not as nicely put together as the iPhone case that partially seals the screen. The one nice feature is that it does have a screen protector but unfortunately on my wife's phone, it got destroyed, thanks to my son. Other than that minor complaint, I will continue to use them. They are pretty durable.
Which case is better, the Otterbox case or the TPU Fusion case??

Otterbox is about 30 bucks while TPU Fusion is 3-4 bucks.
Unless you drop your phone a lot and from really high ground then definitely go for the TPU.
TPU is lighter, and doesn't make the phone bulky.

They both have the same coverage on the phone, the Otterbox does make the phone a little more bulkier than the TPU, but the Otterbox is more shock absorbent than the TPU. I have both and switch between the two cases.
OTTERBOX
Just from past eperience otterbox is the way to go
I'm not sure about the TPU but I just purchased my first otterbox for my Mytouch 4g and overall i'm very impressed with the product, doesn't have too much bulk. The rubberized buttons function very well also.

Do you have young children? Are you rough on phones?
I have a young child and sometimes I'm a bit rougher on my electronics than I should be, so I got the Otterbox.
I like the TPU Fusion more. The design looks cool on my phone
I prefer the TPU Fusion, just because I don't feel a $30 case is worth it (I take very delicate care of my phone, but have dropped it once when it slipped out of my pocket).

I forgot to mention, I got caught in a torrential downpour, and after getting to my destination, I dried it off, and checked the white dots--still white (unlike a lot of iPhones would be, I've heard).
The headphone plug gets pulled out too easily, though. I trimmed off the bump (on the silicon) which helps.
I got the T-Mobile belt slip case for one of the larger phones and with the Otterbox on it fits perfectly FTW.
By the way, although not as inexpensive as a TPU case, I see it under $20 from lots of places. I figured $20 was worth it, a better deal than the 'insurance', that they raised the price on (I dropped it). Still, I figure people comfortable going bare would probably be fine with less of a case. If there were decent docks available, well, I'd have to think about it.... How easily do the TPU cases go on and off? Since the Otterbox is in 2 pieces, it takes a little more work.

Ive had my TPU for about 6 months and its great. it slides on and off pretty easy, but yet fits the phone like a glove when its on. I baby my phones, so I rarely drop them and didnt like the bulkiness of the otterbox
I have an otterbox commuter case and love it. I don't get how it adds go much bulk or weight. I mean we are talking ounces here people. Thatand if something did happen with the otterbox on then it is covered....supposed anyway.
1st post here, liking the forum thus far.
Otterbox all the way. And if your otterbox gets worn-out/broken - just shoot an email to them, and they will send you a new one, no questions asked!

It does make the phone a little bulky but its worth it. I cannot tell you how many times i dropped my case. For example, one time I was riding my friends motorcycle doing about 30mph on asphalt, and for some reason the phone slipped out of my pockets; judging by what I saw in the side mirrors my phone was destroyed. When I picked up the phone there was just a small nick on the shell of the case. I say otter box all the way
Just got my otterbox and love it it is the best case for our phone
It is not bulky at all and has 2 layers
Trust me if you tend to drop your phone a lot its worth the money

What's the best rugged case for my evo out there as far as all year round construction work.
I got the seidio extended rugged case. It is a beast. So solid
I wasn't the biggest fan of the outbox defender.
I think there are other cases too, like Cyclops and trident. I also remember something about kraken.
I just bought a couple cases to figure out which one was best for me.
~ I'm a fungi
Otterbox case. I think it's ugly and bulky but it protects the phone (so I've been told).
I work construction/warehouse now, and I have the otterbox. It has been ripped off my belt, so I called, told them needed new belt case, they replaced it with three, so big plus for them. Also have dropped the phone about 16ft on to concrete floor with otterbox, no problem, picked it up hit power button and screen came on (was in sleep) so I hooray for them standing behind their product. Downside is it is big, but fits in tool pouch nicely on my top pocket, and it protects the camera with small plastic screen.
Otterbox, it's huge, but so is the phone. You could probably bring that thing into armed combat. It's like a mini-tank in my pocket
Otterbox has great customer service. It is seriously amazing. That's one more reason to love them
~ I'm a fungi
Yup had otterbox since day one. I know someone that bought a cheap silicone cover; she dropped her evo and screen is now shattered. Thumbs up for otterbox.
i like the otterbox
Trident Kraken
I have the Trident Kraken. Rugged (yes, it's bulky), built-in screen protector, great fitment (2 layers= hard shell inner & silicone outer), makes use of the phone's built-in kickstand (rather than building one into the case itself), ports are covered, appropriate & mostly non-interfering cut-outs (camera, flash, speaker, mic...I've noticed a slight difference in speaker phone usage), cost is in line with other cases of this type.
IMO, an excellent case.
Otterbox defender by far. I've had otterboxes for the past few phones with no complaints. I've never had a problem with them warranting them out for defects either.
I have the Seidio rugged, and it's a great case. 3 layers (slim case, silicone cover and then plastic shell) and the silicone layer has covers for the ports and a cover for the camera lense. (I use my camera a lot so I cut the camera lense cover off) and the holster has a lock to hold it in place well.
I switched from construction to tech work, so now it sits in a drawer, but it was great when I needed it.

I had this same case. Worked wonderfully to protect. My pictures had a blue hue added to them until i popped out the little camera lens protector screen.
Otterbox
Have to agree with the rest Otterbox is the best and they stand behind them with no problems you call them tell them whats wrong and they send you a new one.
I have a 2nd gen ballistic HC for my evo, and i've dropped that thing more times than i care to remember, concrete, tile, dirt, snow, pretty much everywhere except solid ice,and it has held up very well. It has the hard plastic with soft bumpers, as well as the add-on silicone layer that the seidio rugged,which i also own. The size of the thing is enormous though, and i have smacked my friend in the head once while tossing him the phone from a few feet away, he said it hit him pretty hard
I also have the Trident Kraken. Its an amazing case and also comes on just about every color

I have the ballistic as well. I dropped it from 23ft off a ladder, picked it up and continued my text message I've dropped this poor thing so many times and have purposely thrown in across the room just to show people the case and she's held up without me ever needing a replacement. Built in screen protector that I had to cut out cuz it was so beat up but it also came with a nicely cut single sheet protector as well. The rubber outer casing is nice too if you can handle the extra bulk and/or need the extra traction for your hands.
Everyone is always talking about the otterbox, guess it wins the popularity vote.
However, I've seen quite a few people complain or have issues with them, like the clip failing them or whatnot.
Personally I would the Ballistic HC case. I bought one for 20 USD on clearance @ mobile city. I think it's out of stock but if you do a google shop search, some vendors will have some. The MSRP is 40 USD I believe, but it's well worth it.
The only problem I have with it is the screen cover gets scratched up a bit (not the Evo screen, just the cover screen), try buying one of those plastic stick ons and it'll be fine. The other 2 minor issues are that it can get a bit dirty so try cleaning about once a week; the other issue is that the cover can be a pain to take off, I pull mine from the bottom opening onto the sides until it's off. Other than that, it's excellent and offers maximum protection like no other.
EDIT: I just saw posters above me recommended Ballistic.
On a side note though, I'd like to add that the case in black gives it this awesome military look. If you theme your phone just right with cool widgets, etc, it looks even more amazing. You just can't go wrong with this case. +the clip never lets go of the phone while at work.
I used the Otterbox Defender series case for over a year, great case. I wanted an extended battery but never pulled the trigger because you couldn't use in a rugged case. For the last six months I've been using the Trident Electra series that comes with an extended 2800ma battery. The case is very rugged and protects the phone. It does have a screen protector built in but you can remove with a hairdryer. The extended battery adds bulk but is still thinner than the otterbox. The battery life is awesome.

The Ballistic HC or Kraken seemed to work the best for the Evo.. Kraken case also has a holster too.
i know that the commuter case is a step down as far as protection and slimness, but how much of a difference in protection are we talking about? ive read and viewed reviews with no luck... i might start a construction job and might need an otterbox case in the future
The commuter is typically a silicone skin cover with a hard shell that goes over it, the defender is a two piece hard shell with a screen protector then a silicone cover. If your on a construction site personally I would go with the defender it can take a little more wear and tear
Sent from my M860 using Tapatalk 2
The defender will also come with a holster. This is a major benefit to me. I usually end up taking the built in screen protector out and putting on a standard screen protector on. I constantly get dust/sawdust behind the built in protector. If you put a thin piece of cardboard between the phone and the case and it will make up the difference. Look at them before you buy i, I had a defender for the Desire and the silicone seem to come off to easily. Ended up buying a commuter and and heating the holster to fit the commuter. Had a commuter on the Hero S and loved it. Remelted the same holster and used it. I bought the Sedio Convert combo it is tow cases on at teh same time. Adds alot of bulk but is otterbox level protection. The convert comes with a heavier duty holster. Than the active case.
thanks guys, yea ive seen the review and know what the assembly is, but dont know the level of protection.... lets say from a 1-10 the defender is a 10... what will the commuter be? a 7? 8? 9?

I would say the commuter is an 8. Great drop protection. I only use the commuter for my phones because I think the defender adds too much bulk.

Well personally I have both and i prefer the defender, its more sturdy better grip and more protection. The defender adds a lil more bulk but nuthin unbearable like the lets say the evo 3d defender its a real nice design and the commuter is very slippery because of the hard plastic grip and plus no belt clip. im selling my commuter on craigslist right now as we speak lol
lol thanks, ill get the defender then! i am gonna use it for work so it doesnt matter!
The defenders hip clip can also be used as a stand, which is great for viewing Netflix.

My problem with the Defender holster is the belt clip keeper is too narrow for a thick belt. It ends up slipping over and off if you catch it on stuff. Working in a paper converting factory climbing on and in big machinery becomes a problem. Thinner dress belts would be perfectly fine though. I just ended up keeping the Defender in my pocket. It is strong enough to protect the phone when I bang it on things like guarding and machine framework. LOL
As for dust and the build in screen protector, just gotta decide what works for you. I take it apart every 1-2 weeks to blow out all the paper dust that collects in it.
I use the Commuter, as it provides adequate protection without adding massive frame. However, as someone who used to rock a Defender on his BlackBerry Tour, I can vouch for the ability to live up to its name - it will defend your device, no bones about it.
Case in point - I used to work for Sprint (ancient history) and used to throw my BlackBerry in the middle of traffic on International Speedway Blvd. in Daytona Beach, just to prove how well it worked to anyone on the fence.
Not even joking, it had been hit by a few cars, run over, spiked into concrete, kicked, thrown, you name it. Survived every time, no problem.
And that's why I still buy Otterbox.
