Review of RearthUSA Ringke Rubber Case for the EVO 4G

Hi everyone,
I was asked by Blake from RearthUSA.com to evaluate their new rubber case for the Sprint EVO 4G. I have the white EVO really wanted to get a good case for my favorite little everything device.
There are things that I was looking for. From my past experiences with other types of case I had some requirements.
1. I hated the hard cases, because they were very difficult to get off. So hard that eventually the face plate of the hard case will break. You have to pry them off and that cause scratches and nicks and scars on the edges of the seams of the case.
2. The silicon cases fit and give great grip, but everything sticks to the surface. The material grabs the lint and crap in your pockets and out of the air. It is very hard to pull out of your pocket. This make it more annoying when the phone is ringing and you are trying to get it out in time. You have to force it out and grab tighter, this causes you to accidently push buttons on the screen or the hard buttons on the phone.
3. I did not want the case to add to much thickness to the phone. I love how thin it is. Can’t understand why people want a thin sexy phone, but then add on these thick cases that give huge protection.
4. I don’t want it to look cheap. Most generic rubber cases look so plain, cheap, and non-sexy. They are like a potato bad on a sexy runway model.
5. I am also very concerned about the back camera lens. I am still trying to figure out what was on the designers mind when they thought it was a good idea to push the lens farther than the body. To be exposed to damage.. being on the back.. which will always hit all surfaces when you put it down.
Now for the Ringke cases that Blake wanted me to evaluate. They sent me 2 case to evaluate.
http://rearthusa.com/products-page/ringke-gadget-cover/htc-evo-4g/
I asked for the Red Wine and the Aqua Black.
Colors:
The colors are a little miss leading.
In normal indoor lights the color is lighter than you would think the name suggests. In the sun, it is looks more like cherry red. It is fine for me.
The Agua Black is completely miss-leading (unless I got the wrong color). Based on the only 2 dark colors available: Slate Gray or Aqua Black, what I have can not be Slate Gray because it is darker on the website. I wanted a “black/dark” cover. From what others that have gotten the Slate Gray, they said it it was too gray. The Aqua Black is partially transparent and the color is Gray! On the back side, you can see the my white EVO cover; and can read the “Sprint 4G” logo right above the kick stand.
Fit:
The 2 cases are different . The Red fits perfectly. All ports and buttons are aligned. All the edges hug the phone just enough. The phone is snug. Red case “fit” is perfect.
The Gray is slightly too small. On the front screen, the sides; the tight fit causes the lip to LIFT off the glass screen and pulled outwards to the sides. This causes the sides to not have clean straight lines. Around the kickstand the opening does not hinder it function, but lines do not match up right. I even used the Aqua for a week so that it might have time to “work itself in”, but it never changed it’s fit or shape. This also means that the Red case will keep it’s great fit; and not loose it over time.
Finish:
All the sexy lines of the EVO are not lost by this case. It highlights all the sexy curves. The detail is very good. I like the extra line that follows the battery cover. The add opening for the “htc” logo is a good touch and give it a quality design image. The added texture of the skin is nice too and give a plush feel while providing better grip.
To my 5 requirements listed above:
1. Check: it is a rubber case and is easy to get on and off. Simple.
2. Check: it has a great feel. Not sticky or grabby. Goes in the pocket and slides out clean.
3. Check: it adds a minimum of extra thickness, but still provides a good add rubber protection.
4. Check: the design and attention to extra detail keeps my EVO sexy and slim.
5. Check: they added a little extra padding around the back lens for protection.
Price:
The price is $16.99 with free shipping. This may seem a little high.
We all know we can buy generic rubber or silicon cases for $5 plus $3 shipping all day online. But at that low price, I still say they are not even worth the $8. For a good quality case that you will want to use daily, $17 is a good deal.
Conclusion:
The quality is great. (don’t order the Aqua Black unless they remake the mold)
The price is good, because you can spend more in retail stores.
Ringke case is a must buy for anyone that has the same concerns and requirements as I do.
Suggestion for RearthUSA.com:
They should have a 2 pack deal for $19.99 with free shipping.
With each color selection, it will include a solid jet black case.
Thanks and I hope this review is able to help others.
Special thanks to Blake at RearthUSA for his help to get these awesome cases to me for review.
Sincerely
Dan330

great review....looks like a nice case

Great review. I have been contemplating buying one of these cases and one of my options was going to be the wine color or slate grey. Looking at it in your pictures it looks more red than I thought I would be. I have to agree that their colors are deceiving. I notice they sell a solid black for other phone but the Evo only gets dark grey. If they had a solid black I would have purchased already. The slate grey is just a dark grey. I want this case but the colors are keeping me back.
The price is also a concern and should be changed to two for 19.99 like you stated. That would be a great deal.
Let me know if your looking to sell these if your not looking to keep them.

Ordered two as well. Should get them soon and will have my review. I got the white and dark grey for my white evo. Sold my otterbox commuter so I can buy one.
mikfroyo evo!

Good work (as always) Dan... love the write-up.
I agree: they make good stuff, and customer service is top notch.

Alright time for my review of the rearth case:
My biggest issue was lint on my otterbox commuter, and the added weight and thickness.
I really liked the protection the commuter provided but it was a lint magnet. Was constantly wiping lint off as well as attaching the bottom flap.
I own a white evo and I didn't like the fact that the commuter completely hid that. I ordered the white cover to accentuate the white back.
I think it looks excellent. Also got a black one and you can see the white accents and it looks very good. All the cut outs are perfect.
Fit it very snug, the sides could be a little tighter but overall great fit.
Camera protection is perfect.
Most importantly for me it slides perfectly in and out of my pocket with no lint. I love it!
Came packaged very professionally.
Price is a little high but shipping is included, it is a local usa seller, and the build quality seems excellent. If you have any questions feel free to pm me.
Great job rearth on a great evo case!
mikfroyo evo!

mikfroyo... what color did you order? my Aqua Black was not like that! it was gray transparent.
update:
Blake from RearthUSA.. said that they are looking into my 2 pack deal... they liked it.. and are considering it. NO actual word to when or if they will.

Told him the same thing about 2 pack. I think it should be for the $16.99 though. I think that is aqua black. I like my white one best.

Thanks, leaning toward a white and red one but ill hold on to see if they have a bundle option soon. Would you say the red is a good choice?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

i would have liked the red to be darker... more "wine" color.
but still nice. of course that is a totally opinioned answer. I think my pics are very accurate to real world looks. so base it off that.
waiting....
he only said they are looking into it... it may or may not happen and maybe not soon.
and if your phone is walking around naked... hate for it to be damaged.. while you wait.

I bought this case before realizing that the reviews i've been reading about it have all been sponsored by Rearth... oh well. It was a good choice. I'm a case eilitist and silicone cases suck due to the "grippiness" of them.
TPU cases are pretty good but I found mine to be too thick.
The Seidio Innocase is really nice but their first round of production were too big, cases too expensive and even after they fixed production to make it fit better I still found the case to feel larger than the advertised "1mm' thickness. It made an allready wide phone super-wide.
This Ringke by Rearth is damn good. Best of both worlds imo. I've never felt a material like this before. I'm not stoked about the overlap on the front of the case--how it covers the borders around the screen--but I'm trying to look at it as a feature, that is, it keeps my screen protector's corners down and protected.
This thing is so thin, yet strong and smooth = no lint, no inverted pants pockets. It will, however, slide on a smooth surface so that may be a drawback for some. Off the phone it is as floppy as it looks in the video but reliably stiff once it's on the phone.
This message was not sponsored by Rearth
ALSO...
I emailed Rearth asking if they'll ever have a true black colored case, not grey, not transparent and they said they may have it as soon as one month from now.

Is it a tight fit case? I like tpu cases because of their tight fit no bulk.

yes.. it was sponsored.. but i was totally honest.. did not hold anything back.
yes.. it is a very tight fit.. the phone is hugged from all sides.

Yes. He said he sent his supplier (manufacturer) in Asia an email inquiring whether they would produce it in a (what I called) "true black."
He responded that they might and to check again and that he'd let me know at the end of the month. Haven't heard anything since, today's the last of the month and I understand these things take time.

HTC OEM TPU Case REVIEW **NOW UPDATED WITH SMOKED COLOR**

So I browsing at work today and surprised to find OEM TPU cases in stock at daydeal... ordered at work and hope for an early arrival.
will do a photo review when it arrives.

I got it in the mail today, and as promised, picture review.
I ordered the white one, 70H00391-01M, seeing that all the other colors are a bit too "colorful" (DayDeal or HTC America Accessories Store). It came in a plastic clamshell, and now onto the actual product.
Texture: Glossy Smooth... clean edges/seams... way better than some of the eBay TPU...
Fit: Tight fit, very EXACT. not going to slide around inside, not going to pop out.
Color: It's white, almost too white. Will be getting a black/smoked/clear if I see one.
I actually think this is one of the best manufactured TPU case I have seen so far. Clean seams and edges, exact dimensions. Plus, with the case, it is now A LOT easier to find that power button.
PRO: Makes the phone feels way more solid, amazing fit and finish, cutout placements actually make the buttons easier to find.
CON: White doesn't really match with this phone, no alternative color fit for professional usage. Will be getting black/clear/smoked if found.
Photos:
Thanks for reading!!

holy shiz thats nice.

Awesome, will probably getting the black one.

I want a blue one
sent from my droid incredible 2

as I said before, I would be super interested if I find one with better color. One day, I was on HTC UK and saw that they have a smoked color one for IncS. Upon checking the P/N, it turns out that IncS and Inc2 cases share the same number, except for the suffix, which is usually designated for different colors. I decided to jump the gun and ordered one from expandsys. will post review when it arrives.
UPDATE on the white case: it was ruined after being in my jeans for a couple of times... the dye on my jeans killed it!!! never getting another white thing that would seem susceptible to dark colors

The white case makes it look like the perfect smartphone for a storm trooper.

Your pictures inspired me to grab the white OEM case. All of your notes are valid. It is truly a perfect fit, feels great in the hand (not too grippy, not too slick), and is VERY white. I do notice your jean dye comment, however since I rarely wear jeans this will not be a problem for me.
I also ordered the Incipio Feather case in Black. Overall impression is good. It fits great and matches the black on the Inc2 perfectly. It also comes with a screen protector included (which goes on perfectly if the screen is dustfree). The only reason I'm not recommending it is because not only does it not protect the top or bottom, it also does not do anything to protect the front surface. No lip at all.
And finally my first case for the Inc2 was the Seidio Surface case. It is a solid case and will serve many people very well, however I found it slightly too bulky. It made the power buttom sufficiently harder to press (HTC TPU case is more rounded near the power, allowing easier access).
So in the end I decided to keep the HTC TPU case with the Incipio Screen Protector. It provides full protection of the phone and will hopefully serve me well for the next year or so.
Here's some pics for the curious, which bear remarkable resemblance to OPs pics. ^^
aonbot .imgur.com/htc_incredible_2_tpu_case (remove the space, add html if necessary)

How easy is this case to clean off? I really love the way it looks but I don't want to be ruined the first time I wear a pair of jeans.

I just placed an order today for the HTC OEM Hard Shell for Inc S/2.... will update when it comes in 1 week later

Thanks for the pictures and no worries about the delay. We all understand how life is.
In trying to figure out what accessories to grab. How do you like the smokeone? Looks pretty good. Looks like it blends pretty good.
I like tthe white one but I frequently wear dark denim bluejeans .. so probably not the best idea lol.

Also if you can get a chance to post the link to the smoke case. That would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App

So here's my take on the smoked version:
It's the exact same sizing as the white one, it is good as ever when it comes to fitment. As far as the color goes, the smoked IMO is the best it could offer without looking too stuck out. Black would be too solid if slapped onto the phone, looking like a huge piece of black plastic. I think this smoked option is the best so far if TPU is what you are looking for.
As for myself, I am not too sure on TPU since I feel like it took away some of the phone's sexiness. Hence I am ordering the new hard shell to review next, **without knowing what exactly I am order, no pictures of the product were provided** should come in next week hopefully.

Trident Aegis- Best Case Available

Honestly, this is the best case for the E4GT:
http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/Samsung-Epic-4G-Touch/
Available for $20 on amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Touch...PACW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327710501&sr=8-1
Its a 2 piece silicone/hard plastic. Perfect snug fit. In fact I messed up my nails trying to take it off to change my screen protector. Not tacky to the touch; slides into pocket no problem. Comes with a clear screen protector. Has covers for the usb and headphone ports.
The side buttons are even easier to press since they stick out even more, and the silicone is extra hard in the buttons so you don't have to press hard at all. Now, if you're looking to keep that slim and lightweight look, this case is not for you. But if you're looking for straight up functionality coupled with unrivaled protection, you NEED this case.

Colors are nice but I think I still prefer my Case Mate Tough

It's absolutely worth the upgrade. I came from the Diztronic TPU case, which was really nice,... good fitment, slim & light. I've had the Aegis on my E4GT for about a week now and it's super. I'm almost glad Otterbox ain't doing anything for this phone. They really screwed da pooch on their Evo 3D case, and I ended up replacing it with an Aegis. So putting one on this phone needed little thought.

I have had this case on for about two weeks. So far so good. Has saved from falls already and keeps the fine dust junk out of the that crack between the screen and the plastic on the phone. I love the side hard buttons, and there is a fine mesh covering the mic and back speaker holes. I got the Ballistic green color. It looks like the website image, just a weee bit darker. weeeee bit. Did nto use the screen protector that came with it, so no comments on that.

Wow,... didn't notice the mesh over the speaker and mic. Added bonus!

My Aegis was here in my box when I came home from a weekend of snowboarding. I feel a lot better with this puppy wrapping up my fon. Looks and feels pretty sweet!

Looks too much like a "case". A fatal cheesifying flaw of almost every case... along with making your uber-thin phone as thick as a deck of cards.
And I'm always dubious about hard plastic. It'll transfer shock to whatever it's against... could be the phone. That'll make the case survive a drop, not the phone. If it's got soft rubber inside the hard plastic, that kind of makes the hard plastic just unneeded bulk... and look like, well, your phone is in a "case".
I am a big fan of my $8 TPU case. That TPU material is the right compromise between hard and soft, and it fits so well it doesn't even look like a case. Looks elegant even, in matte black. I wish they made a white one, would look like a white version of the phone. For the price of this case at the super-discount Amazon price, you'd have two TPU cases plus a few bucks in your pocket.

Video Review: Rock Quicksand Case

Nice video.. was going to buy this case for mine next week.. cos i dont like bulky cases..and that non slippery texture just caught me... i have heard that it comes in grey and purple and some other colour.. i have the blue galaxy s3.. which one do you think would suit that??

get the dark blue or grey one.

Definitely go with that charcoal black or grey.

Great video dud. I hope you don't mind but i link your video to the american forums.

I got the same case in grey and it is very nice, just make sure you dont get a 'copy' as theres quite a few on ebay (it should say 'ROCK' on the back).

Even though this case might not be as protective as some TPU cases, I find the texture to provide superior grip and in- hand feel.
I've had the dark and light gray cases (authentic) for about two weeks now and they hold up well with no signs of wear.
I think I'd go so far as to say that the Rock Quicksand is THE best case I've ever had for ANY phone. And like most of you XDA folks, that's a lot of phones and cases!

Go with the Black one....which is actually a DARK GREY. Not sure why Rock even calls it Black....maybe they're color blind?I'm sure whoever created the color codes in China just called the Dark Grey Black....and the Light Grey....Grey. They should actually be Dark Grey.....Light Grey.:victory:
I bought the Generic Grey initially and thought it looked MUCH too light on my Blue GS3....kinda reminded me of the underbelly of a Stingray or even a Great White Shark....but now it's grown on me.
Just for reference the Generic Quicksand case available on Amazon has a more rubberized texture....and it's actually quite nice.
I have a few more weeks to send it back I think I'll keep it....unlike the Rearth Ringke which just doesn't do it for me even though many of the feature are ever so slightly better than the Rock.
I plan on doing a side by side comparison of all three cases right after Christmas and maybe have a few more cases to compare against each other.

Case Mate Phantom Case is available in different colors now

It looks like a protective case with bulkiness and i'ts now availbel in different colors. Only black was available when I checked last time, and now it comes in pink, navy and another kind of black. Navy would look the best for the pebble blue phone.

That looks bad ass as long as it comes with a clip. Didn't see it mentioned tho

$50.00 and no belt clip????????????, HELL NO!!!!!!!

How do you think it will compare to the Otterbox Defender?

Interesting design. I would be down to try one... For about half what they are asking. $50 are you kidding me?

yeah $50 is pretty expensive for a case like that. I think they are just branding that case just like Otterbox cases in a look and the price! I 'm not interested in this case, anyway. I'm more looking into some cases in slim and thin designs, but as many people look for "protective" case, some people might be interested in this case! Still wanna see some reviews on it!

Honestly I find CM offerings way overpriced, especially considering what you get.

I purchased Case-Mate Phantom case.
However like review from olis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk3SpvJ54ko) the buttons doesn't work properly and it hard to press.
But I managed to fix it, here the video:

Any chance of getting some side profile pics to show the thickness?
