Epic 4G Cases Help - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Anyone know of any good cases that are similar to this?

I have the Trident Aegis and Casemate Tough. Both great cases but I use the Casemate more often.

Thanks! Looked at the Casemate and seem to be expensive for my wallet. I went ahead and bought this http://www.cyclopscase.com/kraken-a...-s-ii-epic-4g-touch-sph-d710-ballistic-green/

The Trident Kraken is a nice case more similar to the Otterbox Defender than the Commuter due to its bulk. Its a good case but a bit large for my taste.
I just found out I'm getting a free Otterbox thru work later this week, not sure what case they got me though. You can never have too many cases

Trident Cyclops or otterbox defender

I've had a Seido Innocase II and I loved until it broke and paint started to chip. Now im looking for a heavy duty case, I looked at the ballistic HC case but heard bad things. I don't want to have to buy multiple cases just want one last purchase

I have both, the Cyclops is a FAR better case. The Defender is one of the crappiest cases that I have ever used for any phone. The Cyclops on the other hand, is awesome. Trident also has that Kraken case that looks pretty cool, I thinking about ordering it.
Well the 2 arent in the same category really. The Cyclops is comparable to the Otterbox Commuter, and the Kraken is comparable to the Defender. I've owned all 4. For me, the Cyclops wins hands down. I love the $10 holster they sell for it, and its pretty cool to be able to change the outside silicone to any one of 10 colors. I'm rocking a black/grey/ballistic green combo. looks awesome!
edit: I've also owned the Ballistic. Great case but its a TANK. Unless you work on utility poles for a living, the Cyclops is fine.
edit2: you might want to consider the Seidio Rugged (aka Platinum) since this retailer has it for $7.95!!! http://www.emtcompany.com/platinum-series-case-for-htc-evo-mobile-phones/1003917.html its $50 a best buy.
Otterbox has UNBELIEVABLE customer service though... never used the other cases but nice thing about otterbox is if anything does go wrong with the case they replace it fast no bs, 5 minute phone call and a new case is in the mail. ive always been impressed with how easy they make it and that they even guarantee a cell phone case.
I like the case from ballistic. I've gone from the seidio active, to the otterbox defender and finally the ballistic. It looks great and iso definitely a tank. I'm in construction and it's definitely taken it's share of lumps but is still going strong and scratch free.
I love my otterbox defender, only thing I dont like about it is the silicone picks up pocket lint like crazy. But it is a very durable case.
just bought the Trident Kraken for my EVO...right now I have the Otterbox defender, which I do like but it is a bit bulky, so we will see how it works out.

Trident Kraken now out!

The kraken series for the TB is shipping now in red and pink!

I've never seen one of those cases, they look pretty sweet!!!!
Says in the description that it comes with a belt-clip/holster, guess I'll order the green when it comes in stock, if they don't add much bulk over the Seidio Active I'm using now..
I just received the Trident Aegis case, in black, for my TB and can tell you this is one very high quality case. I had an Otterbox Commuter for my DINC and it was kinda cheesy for the price. The Aegis is what I'd consider the equivalent of the OB Commuter, but much higher quality. If anyone is sitting on the fence deciding between the Otterbox Defender and this newly released Kraken, I'd lean towards the Kraken.
I'd like to get the Aegis case - anyone know of any coupon codes?
What an awesome looking case! Great find I like that it has the dust covers over the mic and cam. And here I was all set to buy an Otterbox Defender case tomorrow lol.
The Seidio Defense case they sell at Best Buy under the name PT is pretty solid as well, it has a rubber covering over the cam that you just flip around when you need to use it, but I had to pass on it since it has no built in screen protector. I enjoy having a completely wrapped phone.
After perusing the Aegis cases, I gotta say I love the color/pattern scheme of it, but I would prefer the protection the Kraken offers, though I'm not as big on the Kraken look. Such a tough choice!

Those of you with either case - how bad is it with lint? I heard these cases are terrible with lint.

I have an Aegis on my Nook Color, and it does attract lint on the rubber bits. Wouldn't be a huge deal for me as I don't put mine in my pocket normally (I use the belt clip on my phone pretty much all the time).
Anybody who ordered the Aegis for the TB, did it have a clip included, or is it just the case only?
Aegis series is just the case... I use it with the Seidio Active Holster I bought...
How do the Kraken series cases compare with the Otterbox Defender? Was holding out for the Otter, but now these have intrigued me.

So the Aegis fits the Seidio Active holster without any issues? I've got one of those already (and a Seidio/Patriot case/holster, and a Case-Mate-Barely there, and a... I see a pattern here, Case addiction is a bad thing, lol).
Check out the cyclops case

I just recieved my Aegis case. It's a good case. I'm coming from an HTC Eris with Otterbox dual layer case. This case isn't dual layer, but it's dual sided, and seems tougher around the corners where contact is most likely to be made. It looks good, feels good in the hand. It does add bulk and will set you back $20-30. The heft of this device with the case is closing on half a pound!
Can you post some pics

It does perfect! I use the Aegis case and Seidio Active Holster.

Casemate Phantom Case vs Otterbox Commuter case

Hi,
I currently have the Otterbox Commuter case for the i9300 but this case makes it almost impossible to use a phone holster with it. I saw the Casemate Phantom Case offers similar protection (ports are covered) but im curious if its less think and also wide/tall then the otterbox.
Or is it more like the defender series on otterbox?
Any help would be welcomed
Anyone even have the phantom case here?

Slim but protected case possible?

Hey
I'm looking through a bunch of cases and I was wondering what case I should get.
Is there a case that doesn't take away that slim but has the protection of a ballistic case *doesn't have to be exact but good protection*
Thanks=))))
Casemate Tough is the case typically on my phone. It does not offer Ballistix case protection but its good and my phone geta dropped and beaten by a 2 year old. My other cases are Trident Aegis and TPU. Trident Aegis is also a good case but thicker and heavier then Casemate.

I've heard the aegis and the tough case are similar sizes. I used the casemate for a while and it's definitely one of the thicker cases.
I currently use the diztronic tpu case which is plenty for the occasional drops. How much protection do you need?

Most durable one case?

I am looking for a tough case for my htc one. yes i understand its a beautiful phone and not dropping it or beating on it is a better option but my job can occasionally be really tough on my devices. I was never a fan of otter boxes but it seems to be the only option unless anyone else knows of a nice tough case.

Case-Mate was my best friend when I had my S2. Otherwise, the otterbox commuter is pretty good too (i've already dropped my H1 and nothing happened )
Otherwise, UAG: http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/htc-one/products/navigator-1
I dont have any experience with it so...check out the other thread.
I think most people are just going to point to Otterbox Defender/Commuter, or Urban Armour Gear

I have the Otterbox defender. It seems to be really tough, and is convenient to use. It is very hard to remove the phone once you snap it closed, and I recommend a screen protector on the phone itself, because the one built into the Defender has some room at the bottom that can let dust in.

Trident Case makes a nice case for the One that is similar to the commuter series of the Otterbox. Also Ballistic is coming out with a few cases for the One. Their cases will compare to the defender and commuter series for the Otterbox.
Otterbox would be the way to go, have the commuter and it's slimmer than the defender but still lots of protection
I think I might get the commuter, the urban armor gear looks cool but i need a case soon and not sure when I can get one of those. thanks for the suggestions. The comuter case doesn't block the ir blaster does it?

Amazon also has the trident kraken series (their comparable case to the Otterbox Defender), slated to ship in 2-4 weeks. In addition to that, Seidio has their ultra heavy duty Convert series for the Htc One.

I purchased the commuter and I'm satisfied because it's not as bulky as the defender.I paid 30 dollars flat when I went to a sprint store and just asked for a discount lol

Trident
Otterbox
Casemate
Urban Armour Gear
These, all been said, seem to be the top tier for protection. I had a Casemate on my SNS and I've dropped it plenty with no issues. But, I have a Otterbox commuter on order for my One.
Actually, I forgot a really good one. It is from Tough-As-Nuts. I had one for a phone some years ago. The leather is really strong, and the phone form-fits to the pouch. It is a bit pricy. I have not tried this for the HTC one, but it is a great design and affords excellent protection.

I bought a casemate case today but wondering if I should get the Otterbox Commuter as well or not?
On the case of Otterbox vs Trident choose Otterbox. Trident looks sexier but Otterbox has the best/easiest warranty I have ever dealt with.
I currently have the casemate tough case and I like it a lot. Only downside I see is that the cutout for the camera is way larger than it needs to be and may the the plastic lens vulnerable.
Looking at the urban armor gear website, I really like the design. Trying to gauge how large the case is without holding it is hard though. I may pick one up when they become available.

I have the Speck candyshell grip. Feels real good, kind of slim, and has good protection.
