Platinum Series Case for HTC EVO 4G from Best Buy - $30

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...199186619&skuId=9943616&st=evo case&cp=1&lp=1
That is the case I got from Best Buy today. I compared it to the silicone one they had for $21 but I ended up with this one because it seems more durable and if you lay the phone on the screen the case lifts the screen off the surface its laying on to help protect the screen as well.
I think $32 out the door was a little pricey, but to protect my new phone it is definitely worth it.

They were sold out by the time I got there. I really wanted the one with the clip. Can't find them now. They are made by Seido from what I am hearing which they sell for $49.99 so it's a pretty good deal and solid imo.

can we get some pics? the product wasn't displayed good on there site

it's a great case. The insides are felt lined & padded. Also I had no problem slipping it in w/ the invisashield. The back of the case goes slightly past the camera lens so the phone isn't laying on it. Then there is a very small lip on the front to keep the screen from resting on a surface. A pretty solid case to use for now until more people start manufacturing for in. Hopefully serpent cases make something for this

its literally the same as the seido case that someone else posted a topic about. look at that topic and thres pictures and in the general section someone posted a video review of the seido case.
the best buy platinum case is just a re-branded seido case.

I had purchased it because a sales rep told me it was a part of the $30 bundle with the car charger and invisible shield. At the register it turns out that the rep gave me the wrong case and I bought it anyways. Early today I got my max coverage Invisible Shield installed and returned that case along with the Shield they had sold me.
The case is decent looking, definitely much better than most of the cases out now. I hope this phone gets the kind of variety in accessories that the iPhone does.

I think this specific case is different unless the picture Best Buy is using is incorrect. The cut outs are different. Also, Seidio themselves said in another forum that Best Buy has a Platinum Series case not made by them.
If the OP can post some pics we'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

There are two different Platinum Series case designs for the EVO @ Best Buy sold 3 different ways. The have the Seidio style horizontal split by itself, Seidio style with holster, and one styled like the Bodyglove case (vertical split). I picked up the Bodyglove style case - it's "rubberized" all the way around and felt lined inside.

:S thats expensive why dint you go to sprint? the body glove for the evo looks awesome I saw it at best buy and i dint like the back cover while the one in sprint i was and it was like 24 dollars.. and online its 19.99

bsim85 posted a tiny pic, but here are some large ones:
It's OK. I've still got the original "screen protector" on my phone because I haven't tried it at work (I'm not going to open the Invisible Shield or 16GB memory card I bought until I verify the phone works everywhere I need it to, but the case comes in a resealable package so no worries there).
The back of the case is hard and has felt lining inside. The front part of the case (it splits around the edge of the device like the Body Glove) is more rubbery. It comes apart the same was as the Body Glove, with a coin in a corner slot. The camera lens is recessed a couple of millimeters from the edge of the case. When on it's back the case rests not on the overall rubberized surface but on the smooth edges of the case around the camera opening and the bottom ports so it could still slide around in your car this way. Will I keep it long term? Probably not. Will it suffice until something better comes along? Yes.
EDIT...
I should note that the case doesn't look as blue-grey in real life as it does in the pictures.

I bought the case at Best Buy and it's great. Radioshack had Zaggs for $15 plus the 20% off accessories if you got it in the morning. I got the case at Best Buy and it's excellent. A bit pricey, but one of the better cases I've seen. Plus the silicon cases sometimes get caught up in your pocket and harder to pull out.

Is this A EVO case?
cause it seems to have more cut outs in the side pic than the EVO has buttons on the side.

yeah, i went to BB on friday and there was a sign showing that the Platinum case, the invisashield screen protector, and a rocket dog car charger were on sale all together for $45.
the case is overall is very nice, i like how the screen is recessed and how the case does not get stuck in your pocket like a silicone case does.
i think it was a good deal for the money, seeing as how i needed car charger because the hero uses a mini usb port.

I bought one from BB (with holster for $34.99 (giftcard)), and it def doesn't look like that. Mine's a much more rubbery look / feel. It's black. The cut-out's on yours seem much more prominent and I don't have one on the lower right side (why is one even there? just the phone volume on the upper part of the right side...).
Strnage

I got slider case instead of the snap case. Reason being if you drop your phone on a corner, the slider case isn't going to split open like an egg leaving the yolk (EVO) splattered on the ground.

I dont know what Seidio is trying to pull but on the inside of the fake phone cutout (on the Platinum) it clearly states Seidio, Inc, Houston Texas.
Plus, I ordered a Innocase II and compared the two side by side. They are identical. Save you cash and buy the Platinum.

As I stated previously there are (2) different case designs from Best Buy - one like the Seidio Innocase and one like the Body Glove. The one I pictured is indeed for the EVO (it came with a "fake" cardboard EVO inserted in it). The "extra" port cutout you're seeing is how you take it off the phone - you insert a coin and twist it to pop the two halves apart (JUST like the Body Glove case).

Best deal on a case and hd protection!!

So, I took a chance on this case for 15 bucks, delivered, and I am impressed as hell!!
Several colors available, includes a free screen protector, and a super protective case, with covers for all the open ports..
Its not a Ballistic HC, but, since they refuse to make a HC case for this phone, and the other Heavy Duty Protective cases aren't that impressive, AND cost a lot more, I took a chance on this guy, and I like it a lot..Camera lens is recessed, front screen is recessed, so you can lay it face down with no probs, and there is a heavy plastic frame you put the phone into before you slide it into the rubber case...
And, did I mention a built in kickstand??
Black, blue, white, red, and green, I think..
Best 15 bucks I have spent on this phone so far, and was delivered from California to Chicago in TWO DAYS!!
Jump on this one asap.

Nope, only buy stuff on ebay, don't sell anything on Ebay..
Just very impressed with this quality of case for 15 dollars..
If you want a slim case, this is NOT for you..this is for folks like me that need their phone protected because they drop them, abuse them, and just aren't really gentle with their phones..

I would rather rock an old flip phone than put my phone in that rubber brick which ppl call a case.

looks like heavy duty protection for relatively cheap price. not my cup of tea though, don't know why anyone would want to add that much thickness to the phone.

People like me, that drop their phone more than they should...

hah thats what I just ordered. but in blue. will report when I get it.
raft? I am coming from a Touch Pro 2 and or an Evo with Extended battery.
this phone is a piece of paper to me. even with this case its probably still going to be the thinnest phone I have owned in many years.
I am VERY gentle with my phones BUT this phone is TOO thin sometimes. its hard to hold one handed for sure. I have very big hands and my hands always want to "wrap" it which does a multi touch when you don't want it too.
I am hoping this will help with that. will be sure to post pics and thoughts once I get and use it.
I am HOPING I can hack a hole in the back to allow me to use the extended battery. Love the 4 AH of power

Got the case and I freaking LOVE IT
killer protection cheap price. Going to order another in blue/black so I can put blue plastic with blue gel shell. ie blue on blue.
sadly its much darker blue than the picture indicates (I am very partial to bright colors and very antagonistic toward dark boring colors) but its not "too" bad.
that one of its few drawbacks
The seller I got it from (case ology?) also had a PREVAIL case in killer bright orange. I have sent him a message begging on my hands and knees and offering to pay extra to get the epic touch case in that orange !! blue hard shell with orange cover would ROCK
anywhere here is my thoughts some pictures and video.
The case is a 3 part case.
you have a "FULL" enclosure "hard shell" that snaps around the phone (loose snap very easy to remove)
lay the phone in the bottom half insert the long right side first snap shut.
this full encloses the phone.
now this "phone/enclosure" gets shoved into the flexible shell (silicon?)
smooth it down make sure all the dimples "lock" into the slots on the hard shell and its a nice rigid soft fit that does not move flex or stretch around.
I REALLY like this form of enclosure. it feels extremely solid and protective.
Most likely any force sufficient to penetrate the case is sufficient to damage the phone even if it does not penetrate.
Will I test that? I hope not.
now this statement is conditional. IE I have huge hands.
the phone in this case "feels good" in the hands. it just "feels right"
even as bulky as this case is its still overall thinner than my touch pro 2 with stock battery.
I love the port covers for headphone jack and usb jack.
I love how DEEP the screen is for protection if it lands or slides face first including in my pockets.
now I did encounter some issues minor but annoying anyway.
Not all chargers will fit. for example my IGO charger is not usable any longer. the "tip" it too larger. I would need to get a short Micro USB extension if that even exists.
but my primary charger (my Kindle charger and cable) fit perfectly.
even slightly larger plugs fit (example the USB JIG fits fine)
I had to shave down the tabs for the kickstand just a hair. they were too tight. hurt my fingers trying to get it open and I still failed. had to resort to a key to pry it open.
once I shaved it down it functions perfectly.
The case fits the epic touch PERFECTLY but they forgot about the notification LED. there is NO HOLE for the LED in the upper right corner of the case. I will drill one later this week.
I wish they had made the case just a hair wider and wee bit longer.
the contact point between the screen and the "hard shell" is too tight on the edges and bottom (no problem up top the case to screen angle up top is HALF that of the bottom and sides)
it can be a wee bit difficult getting to the soft keys at the bottom and any navigation functions (letter jump in contacts) on the extreme edges of the screen. (this is where larger fingers are a detriment)
It fits in my jacket pocket no problem and my pants pocket no problem (I am a big fellow 6'4" so take that with a grain of salt) ie it fits in my shirt pocket too hehe
so far (3 days) the case is holding up great. I will be sure to report back a long term review later on.
I love the bulk it adds to the phone protecting the screen and the camera module surfaces.
and I love the full enclosure hard shell and full overlay soft skin. I think this is far better than the 50/50 shells like the ballistics or the fishbone cases) although no doubt the ballistics is probably superior in the protection department I doubt by very much.
but you pay for this in bulk. The pro's are port protection and sleek looks even with the bulk. IE it looks "clean"
the kickstand functions both in both portrait and landscape though it is not 100% stable in portrait (easy to knock over left and right)
I also made a crappy video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_H9e2UWn5g

I just ordered another one. the black with blue "core" so I can have blue on blue. really loving this case. just "feels good" in the hands.
I really hope the gel holds up and does not get all stretchy.

I was just browsing through cases on ebay and found this case in orange/ black for $7.99.

Ohhh very tempting but I fear its the RED case not orange.
many times these sellers never actually "hold" the product they sell they drop ship them.
so he got a picture and the picture "looks" orange red so thats how he lists it.
but for $8 it might be worth the gamble. I really want a bright blaze orange case badly.
Like this one I got for my EVO

what the hell its probably the red one with a bad picture but I took a shot will see what I get.
to the best of my knowledge this case is only available in white black blue red and pink.
---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------
FYI got the blue core. LOVE IT looks fantastic blue on blue. but one huge problem.
when I make a call the screen goes dead and its 100% unresponsive.
I discovered that for some reason the blue shell activated the proximity sensor. but the cut is as perfect as the black one. I nearly doubled the size of the hole to no effect still triggers the proximity sensor.
while switch from black to blue trying to figure out what the heck was going on it hit me. the only difference I had not accounted for. The Color. SO I took a sharpie and colored the backside around the proximity ambient sensor hole BLACK and the inside of the hole black.
BINGO works perfectly. "something" about the plastic and that color caused the proximity sensor to trigger. Weirdest freaking thing I have seen in some time for sure.
but easy sharpie fix and its all invisible to me on the inside so I am happy. also put my hole for the notifications LED into place. Much better
ALSO all problems are now solved. I discovered there is plenty of "meat" in the plastic for me to "SHAVE" the plastic where it touches the screen. I moves all 3 sides "out" 2mm or so and WOW what a difference. no more trouble getting to the soft keys at all and no more trouble getting to the rolledex scroller.
Perfect will have a video up shortly.

Qubits Black TPU Gel Skin Case Pics

Product Link: http://amzn.com/B0062V037Q
I'm not really prepared to give a full review of this case yet since I just put it on today and haven't "lived" with it for very long, but I wanted to go ahead and post some pics for anyone who might be interested. These pics are of a Galaxy Nexus LTE with extended battery. I believe it's designed to fit the LTE with standard battery, but it fits just fine with the extended battery.
What I can tell so far -- the glossy/gel part of this case is rubbery and sticks to hard surfaces, but doesn't seem to stick to fabric/clothes so i don't think it'll be a problem getting in and out of pockets. The matte part is like a textured plastic -- very smooth and not sticky at all. The gel fits around the front and sticks up only a fraction above the screen like it's supposed to, so you can lay it face down and the screen won't touch the surface. Anyway, here are the pics.
If I'm missing any angles that anyone wants to see, let me know and I'll take more pics. I'll try to add some more opinions about this case after I've carried it around a little.

how flexible is the case?

Thanks for sharing large photos, it really helps to show the fit of the case. Think I'll go ahead and order one.
For those who have a different case, it would be nice to see those cases posted in a similar fashion.

I have this case too and I believe it was molded to fit the GSM version. I've had both versions of the phone and it fit the GSM version perfectly. The Verizon version (even without the extended batt) does not fit quite right. You can see it clearly in your 4th pic how it bulges out and does not hug the edges of the screen area properly. I also don't care for the button areas, as they are both enclosed and make it difficult to locate the buttons by feel.

Thanks. I just picked up one in green and it seems to fit fine over the extended battery. I am still able to find the power button because it has a different texture than the rest of the side.
It will probably take a few days to see if it is better out worse that the gel I got at Verizon. So far, so good. And it was on sale!

i don't think that is the same case. the one i got is made by Qubits.
@halo0: yes, i can tell this case wasn't made for the extended battery, and i can see what you're talking about in picture 4, but i don't notice any bulge in actual use, and i'm pretty anal about my cases.
also, like @VivianC mentioned, it's easy to find the power and volume buttons by touch because of the difference in texture.

My case was around £3 and is IDENTICAL to the pictures above and this link.
Don't spend more than $10/£5 on this case.
The reason why I am getting rid of this case is because it makes the screen/sleep button quite weird to press. (However, having this case for nearly a month you get used to it)
Sadly, lint and dirt collects easily around the lip of the case where it touches the screen.
There are NO issues with this case pulling up the screen protector edge. (I've read how someone said cheap TPU cases sometimes do this)
Does provides good protection for small knocks and drops! - Dropped my phone on wood floor twice and was well protected!

Got these on amazon for 8 each.green one for my girl black for myself. Barely noticeable and I actually think it fits better with the extend battery than the standard, mine (with extended battery) just feels better than hers without. Good skin, very pleased with it

I have three different colors (red, clear, and black) of this case and I have to say I am very pleased with them. They were made for the GSM version but they still fit pretty good with the CDMA's. (Small buldge that was previously mention) Paid $5 for the red and the clear one. $8 for the black one. I'd recommend it for those prices.

I've got this and I really don't like the button covers. They're to stiff for my liking. Amazon carries this for $9.99 with two screen protectors and a micro fiber pouch.

PowerSkin Protective Case with Built-in Battery

I was researching some options for my friends Tmo GS2 and i stumbled upon PowerSkin, which seems like the SLIMMEST alternative for extended battery life and its a CASE at the same time!! The way it works is that the case has a built-in battery that would give an extra 1500 mAh that connects to the usb port and it charges like an external battery only that it is attached to the back of your phone and you have a toggle button for whenever you want it to start or stop charging. If you need to charge it or connect to PC, you would have to use the port that comes with the case. The extra mAh brings our ET4G's up to 3350 mAh and the phone doesnt nearly look as horrendous or bulky as our previous options (seidio, hyperion, etc)
Only one issue though: there's no ET4G-specific case. Well according to this guy:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...h-extended-battery-protective-case-combo.html
our phone is identical in make and shape to the Skyrocket and it fit and worked perfectly for him.
Anyone confirm? Will anyone bite? It's $79.99 at your local AT&T store or here:
http://www.shop.power-skin.com/powerskin/samsung/galaxy-s2-skyrocket-att
EDIT: its garbage. let it die

Have you seen how much bulk they add. Makes the phone as fat as a HTC G1. Eeewwww. No thanks . I'm tell in ya it's huge.

I picked up a killer bodyglove case on ebay for $13. Simple, thin, and kickstand for horizontal and vertical use. Sides do not intrude on the display space as well which is a biggy for me. There is a really cool and cheap case on ebay in like 50 colors but it puts a wall around the display.
This Bglove case is Perfect!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJB9grh1lHA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I did some research today. The tmobile galaxy s2 is not the same as ours. Some of the differences are: the battery is slightly longer and has nfc in it and is 1850ma, it is ever so slightly slimmer (case was just a hair too small for my phone), the mic is right next to the micro usb port. I didn't get to see in person the att skyrocket but it has the 1850 battery (I'm assuming the same as the s2), the speaker in the back is on the opposite side. Anything else I don't know about that one. I saw in person, the powerskin for the galaxy s2. It is very true the material of the case is crappy. It's rubber like and pretty flimsy. Imagine a snorkel mask silicon where the back of the head strap is. Make it thicker and slightly stiffer and that's what the top part of the case feels like. They should have made it out of similar material as the moxie juice pack cases, if you've ever seen one. It's firm plastic but it wouldn't snap if you bent it. Being a two piece slider case with firm rubber like plastic would be much better. It was a huge mistake to make the micro usb port on the outside of the case for charge only and not sync. It was another mistake to make the plug inside the case, that goes into the bottom phone port, on a wire and not molded into the case. It seems like a good idea but poor execution. I read reviews of the powerskin for the nexus s and people thought it was crappy quality and made the phone very thick. I'll pass on this one. I didn't even try to fit it on my phone since their firm "gel" plastic cases were just barely too small for the edges that go over the outside if the screen wouldn't fully come up and over the top of the glass.

Still today people can't tell that theres a big different between our E4GT and other Galaxy SII. SIZE DIFFERET, YOU DUMB PHUCC Original GS2 case or any other HARDWARE will not FIT our Epic 4G Touch.

Haha, UMAD?

lol okay.
yang704:
1) im talking about the AT&T SKYROCKET not the Int'l version. look it up, foo.
2) its the most similar GS2 to our ET4G aside from the speaker and camera layout.
3) its an external battery pack that charges from the usb port, thus it will "FIT our Epic 4G Touch".

Ballistic LS

So I just got an S3 this last week and decided on the Ballistic LS case... I searched around on here and really didn't find but one thread and it was just someone asking about it... so I figured I'd give my thoughts on it and maybe throw some pictures up if anyone was interested...
I'm pretty happy with it. It keeps the phone slim while feeling pretty protected, you can lay it down on both front and back and the screen and camera are protected from making contact with the surface. The volume and power buttons are extremely easy to push and the little removable rubber bumpers on the corners seem like a good mix of bouncy and firm to protect it from a corner impact. And you get a few different colors to change out so that's always nice. All the holes are cut out well and everything fits well. The rubber isn't so grippy that you can't throw it in a pocket, but it feels more secure holding it than just the bare phone. I haven't put any screen protection, but it doesn't look like the case will interfere...
Anyway, my $0.02... if you're on the fence or looking for a good medium-protection case and don't wanna make your phone 3x bigger then grab one of these.. I got the gray one and it comes with gray, orange, blue and black corner inserts.. and it's less than $20.

Its a well made case. Wifey had it for awhile.
