I mean i awkwardly hurt my phone in the most vulnerable place. I thought my case-mate tough would be enough but ive damaged my phone to the point where the lens are cracked and the kickstand won't close. I take care of my phone but some things happen when i least expect it. Like when walking through tight places my jeans would hit the corner of a table and crack goes the lens. Pictures and Video are perfect but I'm going to order a back housing to fix the lens and kickstand. I was wondering is there a case that fully covers the lens? Does the Ballistic HC Series cover the lens directly over? I'm kind of eyeing myself to that case but if there is something better, I'll order it. Thanks.

God damnit, no one knows about cases?
Are you looking to protect from scratches or damage?
I've had a basic clip over case for about a year now and never scratched my lens. But the other day is was cracked. I ordered a replacement on eBay for 6 bucks. Easy fix.

I recently saw a case that covers all ports, has a flap that covers the camera which you can remove, its 3 layers thick. It turns your Evo into a literal tank. Sounds like something that would suit you well from what your telling us. But warning, the case is enormous. You should be able to find it at your local best buy, or radio shack, i even saw it at best buy mobile.
Seidio Rugged case has a rubber flap that protects the lens.
But it does add bulk.

(If you go to buy one, look around. I got one for $8.)
Edit: try a lens protector for $7

The lens protector doesnt cover the lens and i could see something small hit my phone to crack it.
Trident does
The ballistics covers it so well that you'd have a very hard time damaging the camera. It even has a plastic film to keep it from getting scratched

anyone know where we can buy them? I saw some cool cases that took the kickstand inconsideration.
Well you can go here - http://www.fommy.com/accessories.asp?make=HTC&model=HTC+EVO+4G&cat=Cases for cases.
Or, you can buy them at the Sprint store. Below, are pics of the cases Sprint are getting.

The front camera shouldn't be covered by any of the cases I've seen. I don't think you'll need to mod anything.

The problem I have with innocase is that if you have a bodyguardz screen protector, it wrinkles it since the case is such a tight fit. It will start peeling away at the corners.

I gotta tell you, screen protectors on glass screens are pointless these days. I used to have one on my Hero but took it off (touch screen wasn't as responsive). I've had my Hero in my pocket with my keys, not a single scratch on the screen (the phone is in a case though). My friend has a Nexus One and to test the strength of the glass, ran his keys across it.. no damage.
I will just use the Innocase on my phone sans screen protector.

I enjoy the screen protector because it helps to curb the fingerprints as well...Im ordering a bodyguardz for my wife, and it comes with 2, so i will post the results when I see if it works.
I just got my Incipio Feather in the mail, and I must say I am very let down. When I looked at the picture on the website, I really thought that the case was going to wrap around the front but it does not. In all fairness, I did look at the picture again and it doesn't wrap around in it like I thought it did. The picture is very deceiving, the way they shade the Evo makes it look like the case wraps around, at least to me it does. Anyways...
The Incipio is a lot thicker than the Barely There, and doesn't come up as high on the sides either. That actually makes it feel rather awkward in the hand because there is a very pronounced lip around the whole phone. Also, the Incipio case has a full cutout, like a bite, from the front of the case for the volume rocker whereas the Barely There has a rectangular hole and covers the plastic in front of the rocker.
The Incipio also provides far less protection for the camera lens. With the Barely There, the lens is completely protected, it covers the edge of the glass, fully recessing the lens into the case. It has a separate cutout for the flash, lens, and speaker. The Incipio just has one gaping hole for all three to share.
My biggest complaint about the Incipio is that because it doesn't come up all the way around the sides, the face of the Evo sticks out from it and consequently the corners are not fully protected. If this thing takes a tumble on to concrete, there is a good chance your corner could still get scratched. With the Barely There case, while still not very protective, at least your corners won't get beat up.
The only positive about the Incipio is that I like the way the material feels better than the Barely There. It has a softer, almost velvety finish to it. The Barely There still has a nice rubberized texture to it, just not as nice as the Incipio's.
I see no reason at all to purchase the Incipio case when you can buy the Barely There case instead. The Barely There is thinner, feels more comfortable in the hand, and provides more coverage/protection. I am sticking with my Barely There case and will probably give the Incipio away.
Casemate Barely There
Incipio Feather
Both cases cost $19.99.
Thanks for the review ... appreciate it. Have you looked at the other Case Mate Evo case that is two part (Tough Case)? Just wondering about the protection and quality.
No I haven't, at least not in person. I'm sure it's a great case, and I know other people have had good experiences with it, but I personally don't like the way it looks compared to the OB Commuter case or the Seidio Active Limited, and I already have both of those.

Couple of quick questions for you ... since you have both. I had the Seidio Active Limited from Amazon, really liked the feel of it, but the plastic back began to peel off. I didn't replace it with another ... afraid the same thing would happen. Any issues for you? So I've been using the Otter Box Impact case, but since I keep my phone in my front pocket ... it can be a lint magnet. If you don't mind ... tell me about your experience with the Commuter case from OB. Thanks.

I have the exact same issue as you with the Seidio. I have actually gone through 3 of them now, and they all started peeling within a week. The first one I had one of the tabs broke off while putting the case on. It's a shame that the build quality is so crappy on them because I really like the design, and I think it's a little more rugged than the OB Commuter. Not by much though, it just has thicker silicone.
My only complaint about the Commuter, and I know a lot of people share the same feeling, is that the cover for the charging and HDMI ports was poorly designed. It is a pain to get it closed, and it never stays in place for very long. Also, the way they cut the silicone for that cover, it is subject to tearing. Mine hasn't torn, and neither has my buddy's, but I know some people have had that issue. The good news is that Otterbox, unlike Seidio, has no problem whatsoever sending out a replacement case if by some chance that piece tears off, or any other defect for that matter. Overall I think it is a great case and I use it regularly, and even with the small issue of that cover, I can still recommend it to people.
Thank you ... I'm thinking about trying the "Barely There" since I'm an "in pocket" guy.
You can barely tell that there is a case on the phone with the Barely There, hence the name. If you're an in pocket guy, then that is definitely the case you want. I use it way more than all my other cases combined.
get the barely there case, i have it and love it, and as they say, its hardly noticable. plus case-mate came out with a full frontal screen cover, so you have case protection on back and sides and a full screen cover to cover the remaining parts

You said my words exactly. I too am very let down with the Incipio Feather case. I also thought that it would at least have a lip that came over the front edge but nothing. I dropped my phone on the carpet(fortunately it was carpet) and it popped right out of the case. If you want protection I don't think this is the case to use. They could have done much better. I would have preferred one of the Incipio NGP cases to this thing.
I've been using the Barely There case for almost 2 months. I love the feel of it. The material holds well. The screen protector it came with is awesome. I hated the way stealthguards and invisible shield felt on the glass. The screen protector that the Barely There came with feels just like glass when it's on.
The only thing is that this case is just to protect against scratches and minor drops on carpet maybe. I dropped it once on concrete and the case flew off and I have a small dent on the top front corner of my Evo.
This is my experience exactly

Barely there cases are counter-intuitive. If you want to protect a case against impact should you drop it, the case needs to be heavy enough to absorb most of the impact itself and not the phone. These barely there cases may protect from scratches on the phone body but that's it. So I guess you can safely slide the phone around on your desk but don't drop it.

the bottom flap on my commuter stays in place fine, also fits great in your pocket, unless your female and wear them skin tight the barely there doesn't have any lay on the table protection for the front glass, which is just too risky in my opinion.

Thanks, just order it. I had the ID case for the iPhone from them and that thing took a beating and never gave up. Hope to expect the same from them again
I still think the Otterbox Commuter is the best case out there. It doesn't add that much bulk, feels sturdy and protects like none other. Well worth the money.
i've been looking around for a thin case for my new evo.
i just ordered a barely there case b/c it was the thinnest with camera protection. all the cases i've read about or see online do one or the other. either protect the camera or add too much bulk in the front (or doesn't protect the camera lens).
has anyone found a case that has a slight "lip" to protect the lcd when laying it down lcd down AND also covers up the camera "ring" when laying it down camera down?
or is this just too much to ask?
The Incipio Edge is probably the thinnest that provides both protections. I had the Seidio Innocase for a while, it was rather thin and protected both. I just wish the Edge and the Barely There came in colors other than pink and black. I really don't want my phone to look like a Hot Topic fat chick circa 2002.
I don't know if the Ringke Rearth cases add bulk but they definitely have a lip to protect the lcd and also have your camera covered.
I used to use the barely there, but I stopped because I got an extended battery, and will not be going back to it because I don't like that it creates tiny scratches on the sides.
I have an Amzer tpu argyle case. Its very nice, good fit, rubbery bit not sticky, face and camera protection. Found it at amazon for about $10. It looked semi-scuffed when I opened it but I cleaned it with windex amd after a couple days the scuffs dissapeared

The Rearth Rinke case is what you're looking for. Protects both the camera and lcd. Only adds about 2mm to the width of the phone. Fit, finish and attention to detail are perfect. Even a cutout for the HTC logo on the back. Not flimsy on the sides like the Otterbox Impact.

Hey folks,
I adore my HTC ONE so much that it deserves the very best protection ever made for a smartphone.
With my HTC EVO 3D I always used the DEFENDER CASE mady by OTTERBOX (awesome thing), but OTTERBOX did not develop a satisfactory case for the ONE. Why? The screen protection of the DEFENDER case ends where the HTC button starts, thus allowing dust to crawl under the screen protector. Whoever developed this deserves a smack on the head.
I like OTTERBOX, but f*ck it, if they don't produce protection for adventurers, I'll spend my money somewhere else...
Recommend me the toughest protection you know of for this great phone!

Good job ignoring the OP and disregarding his request.
I too, am searching for a good rugged style case. I tried 2 of the cheap Chinese otter box style cases. They don't fit well and loosen up after you take them off. I think the best solution for now, is to use the defender with a good screen protector and rip out the defender's sorry excuse for a built-in shield.

I'm using a Trident kraken AMS for my one with the bike mount accessory. The case is not that high quality as would have expected and also I can not see how the hell can it be considered dust and rain resistant (as per their own description) since the speaker grills are exposed.
I took off the pathetic screen shield and replaced it with a continuous plastic film which is not sealing the entire front of the phone.
However .. I'm disappointed with the build quality of this expensive case.

Any case for the ONE covering EVERYTHING? I don't care if it looks like a soldier's phone afterwards, my phone DESERVES the most rugged and awesomest protection ever made in history! Perhaps, I should not even use it. ^^
I would just recommend an regular hybrid double layer case, they work just as well as an trident/otter case. But the price is almost 4x as much for these branded products.

on a side note: its just a phone, holds no value in real life. just a gadget so that you keep feeling special.
I got the Hyperion dual layer case from amazon for ten bucks. I do general contracting work, flimsy plastic clip got snagged and broke while on 18 foot ladder. Dropped to asphalt driveway, a few scuffs on case, phone no damage. I replaced clip with metal one from amazon, and cover usb and 3.5 with electrical tape. Works great for me and I am confident with it. Any resourceful adventurer can easily replace clip (epoxy, small rounded bolt and nut)

Ha, what do you guys think about THIS MONSTER? My search is crystalizing down to this - awesome that it brings a FULL screen protection as well as 4 crazy layers of the most durable materials around! Now top that!
It looks nice, but I'd skip the top layer. The One really needs a screen protector that is bonded directly to the screen. The problem with rigid screen protectors that aren't bonded is gunk can enter through the speaker cutouts.

Nice. I actually considered that one. But for me no kickstand, no deal.

Yep, I know that. Ever heard of tape? It'll do the finish. ^^
I personally have the otterbox commutter and don't even use a screen protector still not a scratch I clean it over and never put keys in same pocket as phone but the screen is made to be UN scratchable sand is reallly the main thing to watch out for
If you want a full screen protector buy a premium one from a bigger phone like note or something and cut it with a razor blade to cover all the way from both speakers I've done it already but screen protectors go bad and get dust under then after a while and never look as good as the phone does without protector

Wouldn't do that. Sound quality of calls will be fading away..
I was wondering if there is any plastic film to put on the back of the phone? Also maybe on the sides.
I have a case on the phone (ringke) and dust and lint gets in behind the phone.
Your best bet would be a phone skin. As far as the sides they come pretty well protected with sections of film front the factory I never take those off. Also consider nightly taking 2 mins before putting phone on charger and taking case off wipe phone down and case before reinstalling the case. If not a phone skin is gonna be your best bet. They make them clear
I was also wondering the same thing. I once used a tempered glass back for my Samsung s6 edge once but that interfere with the case. I guess plastic would be a lot thinner. I'm also interested in a clear plastic for the camera lens.

Really thinking that anything over the camera lens is going to cause issues. Truly. But you could get one of the universal plastic covers and cut it to fit

Was thinking more like the dbrand warps, I've seen they have a piece that covers the camera lens with hole cutout for the camera and flash. Now if I can find something less fancy and cheaper than dbrand it'll do me.
Amazon has some from kleerlock and skinomi.

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for
Unfortunately I don't get Amazon here in Australia.
Hopefully it becomes more common and more sellers sell these protectors/skins

I'm from Australia as well. Just used the filter in Amazon to show only seller who's willing to ship to OZ
I've been lookin for wraps and skins, but comes to $28 aud here.
All I'm really after is a clear screen-protector type for the back of the phone for $1 off ebay.... hmm
