I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...

I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.
That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

i had been looking for these aswell. i bought one for my curve last yr from this guy. clicked this post in hopes to find that you had found them lol. i sent the seller an email asking about these for the 4g. ill check back in if/when he responds
How well does that case absorb a shock if the phone is dropped? I really like how its molded really well to the body-lines of the phone and doesnt look thick. Let us know asap when you do find out if they sell them yet! Thanks!

Dear cw54o,

weeks

That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.
These cases are STILL not available anywhere yet. Total BS!

yeah i knw, i just checked his ebay store and nothing
There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?
i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....
T-Mobile does not carry the Epik branded cases at their stores. They don't have any cases that even come close to the Epik brand.

they arent 'epik' cases BUT they are TPU cases, which is exactly what the epik cases are. they have them for several phones including the mytouch 4g. if i go back ill take a pic and show you. if it werent for the price difference i would have gotten it. but yeah im pretty sure a youtube search would confirm it.
DCMugen88 posted black and clear cases today. I got black
awww daewond3r beat me too it i was too busy trying to figure out if i wanted clear or smoke blk and put in my order to post the link lol but here u go to those who are looking for it
enjoy
Thanks for the link. Ill be ordering a few. Great prices! i was close to ordering some case on amazon for 24.99 + shipping.
Sucks that these won't be arriving until after xmas though.
Nice! Do you think the epik cases will still fit if you have the CF Chromatics on? My little girl puts a beating on my phone while playing with talking Tom . Ordered anyway, you cant go wrong with the price! Thanks for the heads up fellas!

Are these the bendable gel cases they had for the MT3G? It doesn't really specify that anywhere on his auctions, and the pictures make it look more like a hard plastic or hard gel/plastic case.
Has anyone used this case before?
If I get one I'm considering saving 20$ off the cost of an otterbox in favor of that, plus not having to wait on shipping would be epic since my local best buy has one.
One other question does it have a screen protector built into the case? I know otterbox on the defender series has it built right into the case which imho is very nice.. It would be worth me paying another 20$ to not screw up putting a screen protector on.
*Edit*
Sorry was suppose to be in accessories section.. bleh >.<;

otterbox does not have built in screen protector, they removed it because it effected sensitivity or some crap. just bought an otterbox defender and I think it's worth the extra 20. IMO dropped it from a ladder today, no issues. however I know what you mean about applying screen protector, i ruined the one that came with the otterbox trying to put it on.
That is crap.. I mean, it works perfectly with my moms Iphone 4 and my step dads iphone 4..
Infact I've never heard of anyone having ANY problems with it..
Maybe it has to do with swype?
Or people just have to gripe about one of the major selling points of a device..
I know some people are good at putting on screen protectors but, I am not.. never have been.. I will end up wasting 20$ on a pack of screen protectors and none of them ever sticking properly...

I prefer the Platinum case over the otter box...The belt holder is very strong and secure..and the case offers a good amount of protection from everyday dents & dings.I've dropped mine a few times from waist hieght onto the screen side..and onto the edge..No issues..no damage..As to the screen protectors..the best one I have found is what you can buy at any AT&T store..I just asked the sales folks who is the best at installing them..and let them do it for me...
I had the defender when I owned a Sprint Hero..they are a great case too..but for my taste now... add way too much bulk to whatever phone it is on. They offer more protection than the Platinum case..but that comes with having to lug around all of the extra bulk from the case..If you need that level of protection...then get it..if you don't..go with the platinum..both are very good.

So I am taking it the case fits well with your screen protector then?

Yes...it fits extremely well and holds up well as well.This screen protector is thicker than the generic type you have to trim to fit.It does not hinder the case..nor does it inhibit the touch capability of the the screen. I think they sell them for a for $9.99...I get about 3-4 months heavy useage out of first 1 before I had at&t switched it last week

I put an otterbox impact series case on mine last week, came with a screen protector that went on flawlessly. So well in fact you can't even tell it's there and it's smudge proof. Bought it on Amazon for $10, noticed it's $12 now.
I am probably just gunna have the guy at at&t install one for me..
WIll either get a platnum series case from bestbuy..
Or order the seidio active one since I like it aesthetically.
you can get the defender @ the same price on Amazon

Here was I would recommend....
Go to your Best Buy and ask if you can test it out on your phone. If you like the feel of it then get it. If not, I would recommend getting the OtterBox Commuter Case which I believe is sold at Best Buy as well.
if you want the commuter it can be had cheaper than the platinum.

I have the seidio rugged holster and case. Great buy, and loads of protection. If you don't know(i didn't for a while) seidio is the company that makes the platinum case . The rugged combo is the platinum case under two extra layers of protection. Didn't see it in best buy, but it was on amazon for fifty bucks . Highly recommend it.

There have been mixed reviews of these cases, but I have one and am really happy with it. Not a lot of options out there for us, and so this is one of the best right now.
Use JAN2011 to get 20% off your order through the 31st.
I still think the one that tmobile offers with the kickstand in the store is pretty awesome. The kickstand is invaluable and I get a lot of jealous people wanting it. Some people complain about it scratching the phone but i don't take it off that much and it hasn't scratched mine at all. It gets two thumbs up for me.
Let me say DO NOT BUY it I paid $50 when it come out for the Innocase combo (case+holster) and the case is cheaply built and way overpriced it also creaking on the side when you grip it tightly, which gets annoying. But the holster is great fit. So if the noise does not bother you go with it but I think for that price you should look else where for solid product.
Sent from my HTC Glacier
Oh awesome! 20% off!
So now those cases are only $25 overpriced, instead of $35!
This a bs coupon code, because your subtotal have to be atleast $50. So if you buy the Innocase Surface combo, its $49.95, you cant use the coupon, wtf
My brother got me a rooted evo on the local classifieds a week ago to replace my htc hero(Best birthday gift I've ever gotten from him ), so I went into the sprint store and bought an otterbox defender case for $50. I really want to hold on to the evo until something worthy of an upgrade comes out so I figured I couldn't go wrong with the case.
PROS
Build Quality - simply amazing, it makes me want to throw the phone off the 5th floor of my building to test it out
Included belt clip - Lets face it, the case makes the phone bulky and the 4.3 screen adds up to its size. The clip is well made and the case is sturdy in it, doesn't feel like its going to fall off.
CONS
Price - A little steep at $50 but you get what you pay for... which is peace of mind
Plastic Kickstand - The case covers the whole phone, including the metal kickstand. Otterbox designed a second kick stand which is made out of plastic in order for users to keep this feature, the kickstand broke the other day when I gently popped it out in order to show some friends a video during lunch(Hella embarrassing lol).
Heres where customer service comes in, I called them, call got answered almost instantly and I explained the kickstand issue to the rep. I asked him if I could get a new kickstand shipped out so I could use my case again(looks fairly easy to replace). Without asking any questions he asked for my address and shipped out a new case for me. I quickly realized that those $50 I spent really paid off in the end.
Overall the case may have some quality issues with the evo 4g due to the kickstand, but overall great quality and great customer service make me a happy camper
All future cases on my phones will be otterbox cases
I had the same experience with my wife's Nexus One and my HD2 otterbox.
The hard plastic breaks fairly easy but just a phone call to them will get you a brand new replacement in one week.
Otterbox is one of the few companies that still recognizes the importance of excellent customer service. The kickstand issue with the Evo 4G is a fairly common problem, but Otterbox is quick to replace it. Due to their quality and outstanding customer service I have a Defender and a Commuter case for my Evo 3D. The quality of the Defender is even better for the 3D model, AND smaller!! Some of the Commuter cases have an issue with the inner silicone not being tight at the top of the phone. 5 minute phone call with no questions asked and I have a new Commuter case scheduled to arrive this Friday. I had an issue with my Ballistic HC on my Evo 4G and Ballistic acted like the could care less, and told me I would just have to buy another one...... no thanks! These incidents have assured me to be a life-long Otterbox user, an just keeping Ballistic in mind as another option.....if desperate
Big props to Otterbox!!!!
I love otterbox....I have one too. I do have a question tho... If you buy an Otterbox off ebay, and not directly from the company, will they still support the case or do you have to buy it from them directly or an affiliate?

They will support it, heck! I got the one for my HD2 off Craigslist and they still do.
So feel free to buy them off Fleabay.
Supporting the kickstand?
Do they just replace it with the same thing or is it new and improved? They only thing I absolutely hated about the case was the kickstand.
Also the holster's clip can latched in an "out" position to hold phone in portrait on a table too
They have sent me a couple of commuter cases with zero problems after the silicone near the bottom of the phone became flimsy. I didn't want to get another one when the issue occurred for a third time and asked if I could upgrade to a defender series. I told them I would even foot the bill for the price difference and they told me don't worry, we will send you a defender.
Great customer service, but a rushed build for the Evo. The iphone case looks way better, but then again the curved shape and camera sticking out of the Evo didn't help much in terms of making the case.
I switched cases with my brother today (gave him my defender while his gets replaced)
the rubber got flimsy and came off the plastic, he didn't notice and he clipped it on his belt, when he took it out the rubber got torn.
Called otterbox and they sent me a replacement(waiting for it)
Since he works in construction, I gave him my defender so hes protected while I wait for his replacement.
I agree Otterbox is great. I have a commuter case and wanted a new screen protector film. I couldn't find them anywhere on their site so I called to ask where I could order one. She said "you can't order them because they are a warranty item. Let me get your address and I'll send you a couple". Amazing!
I love my otterbox defender I'm never going with any other case you just cant beat there warranty

Hello. Sorry if this is considered trolling. But....
I bought the otterbox defender a while back and the silicon rubber outer shell is flabby and its got a big air bubble thing goin on on the back. And it doesnt stay streched tight. Has anyone else had this problem with the defender?

Having personally used this case, I have to say it is pretty good. I bought it from a guy at a sprint store secondhand (he was upgrading to Evo 3D) for 40 dollars give or take. It retails for about 60 or so, (in the store it did that is) so i felt I got a good deal, even though i neglected to look online for better deals. Anyways, it does what it should, and keeps my evo pristine looking. The only thing is that the plastic kickstand is prone to breaking. It's not that big a deal though, since even though I am not the original owner of the case, I am getting a new one shipped to my house for free. You can't beat customer service like that.
purchased for $18 at a kiosk in the midle of a mall w boostmobile plastered all over it, everyone that sees the case says it sucks and that my phone can fall right out. to me it feels like the ph
one can fall out the case but i have had it for 3 days and have yet to have the phone fall out, i dont think i will be holding the case on the edges and upsidedown any time soon.
for a total of $23 i got the case plus screen protector
I have a $50 radioshack giftcard but did not want to spend it on a $55 hard case and i could not find any other options without having to purchase a case online.

i know i know it looks bad, i had no choice i payed $400 for the phone basicly because of my credit with att so i was not about to let $400 of my savings get scrached up..
since i purchased the universal ps3 controller clip im thinking about using this case with the clip and purchase another one for normal use.
any ideas or suggestions? i like the style the htc one has and dont like having a case covering it but buying a clear case is like not having a case because no one knows its there.

Not quite sure what you're asking here. Are you saying you like clear cases because it keeps the phone's original look...our are you saying you don't like them because no one will know you have a case? Your use of but in there makes the sentence a bit weird
Assuming the former, checkout the links I provided above. It's a tpu case so it offers decent protection. Also checkout the kayscase. It's hard plastic so not as good protection wise...but it's totally clear

I think hes just asking for suggestions and he merely pointing out that he doesnt like cases because it hides what the device looks like, but with a clear case you can see thru it and it doesn't hide the devices appearance so it's probably not out of the question for him option wise.
Personally, I myself do not like cases either. Why buy a nice fancy looking phone just to hide it?
A clear case is a nice alternative as are full skins which are my personal choice.
