I have one Red/Black case still in the bag from Ballistic. This is the case, rubber thing, and holster. $30. I bought it from ballistic right when it came out for $50. Yes, I got ripped off.
thanks,
Lucas

I just received the Black/Grey Ballistic in the mail 2 days ago. It is pretty impressive compared to the Defender, but its just too large for me. I don't need that much protection. If anyone wants to take if off my hands PM me. It's still in the retail packaging and the protective film is still in tact. I'll do $30 shipped which I think is the cheapest you can find it. If you see it cheaper let me know and I'll beat it. Also, I go to the post office every day at 5:30 CST so if you pay before then it will ship the same day.
I forgot I posted this on here. I still have this available if anyone wants it. I'll make sure I remember to check my PM's.
thanks,

These are all gone.
Came across a deal on cases for the Evo while looking for a Dell Streak case. Thought I would come over and post it, my buddy said its a good case. Didnt do too much research but I think its like a 50 dollar case, anyways $7.95 shipped.

heres an old thread with some reviews, thanks to the fancy similar threads thingy:

nice fined mine broke and was about to go get a new one
Thanks for the find good deal I picked up one also.
that scares me a bit
I'll be the guinea pig! I just ordered 2 of them for that price. I figure if they try to screw me I will file a paypal dispute. They also have the platinum innocase with holster for the epic for like 6 bux. If the defender arrives and it's legit I'm probably gonna buy a bunch and distribute them to friends.
Great find..
was going to order one but seen no idea how long shipping is
From the reviews I read shipping doesn't take to long. They are based in California.

The site says its a seidio case but if you go to the seidio website they don't have a platinum series case listed.
"platinum" is indeed a sedio case its just been rebranded for best buy. Check bb site and you'll find it .

Oh OK I did not know that
Anyone have a video review or something of this case? I cant find some decent pics of the case to see how bulky it is. The best buy site has a front view of the case on the phone and it looks really bulky.
I believe its actually the innocase rugged,more reviews found here

There are a ton of reviews on YouTube. Here is one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgrDNmJwfHA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
I got this case when they first came out and was not satisfied with it at all. The outer skeleton broke for no apparent reason and I ended up having to cut all the port covers off because the silicone was tearing. You can't really go wrong for 8 bucks though. The inner layer is the regular innocase so you can use that on it's own and Seidio's screen protector is definitely the best I have ever used.
The case is quite bulky, but all rugged cases are. I now have a Ballistic case and it adds even more bulk than the Seidio.

unbelievable deal.... i bit on one.
this is clearly a pricing error, but i ordered 10 anyways. expecting a refund any minute now...
edit: maybe not, its on their twitter feed too, and they have other seidio products at that pricing. amazing.
On the bandwagon I go....
If you miss out, DONT WORRY, I'll have them on eBay next week for 3x the price
Just got my tracking # today.

I own the Platinum Series case from Best Buy. It is awesome.
Otterbox
I had 3 of the Candy shell cases for my iPhone, but after about 2 months each the cracked. WHile I had them they were great, but not that rugged.
I just got the Otterbox Commuter for mine and that thing is great, even the buttons are covered, and they are easier to press. Plus I can lay it down without worrying about the camera lens or the screen, it sticks out barely on both sides to protect.
One Of My Friends has a black one, you can barely tell its a case. Ill ask and try to hook you up.

The price of that case is the same price I got my bran-new Inspire 4G for.
I don't know if any of you are still looking for a case for the Inspire 4G (or DesireHD), but I have 10 hard shell black cases with a built-in kickstand. The cases are brand new and they also come with a screen protector.
If you're interested in getting one, please contact me at nkd4cl at g mail. I'd be willing to sell them for $15 + $3 shipping.
I just got a bunch more in, so I could drop the price. Hope this price point helps people out.
Depends on your budget and whatnot. OtterBox makes your phone indestructible for the most part (it's very resilient). If you just want a general case, I'd recommend just getting one off of eBay. That's what I did.
Case Mate Tough Case!!!! (ebay TPU not bad either)
to be honest, the TPU cases are pretty nice. not as much protection as other combo cases, but they sell at the mall for $20 and i got one on ebay for 69 cents after shipping. i had to wait a while as it came from china, but i was pretty impressed with the quality. it even keeps the camera from touching the table when i lay it down.
that said, i ultimately decided on the case mate tough case. it has a rubber inner layer and hard plastic outer layer, a nice ridge around the screen to keep it off the table, full port access, it actually makes the buttons easier to use, its fairly easy to get off and on if you need to but it CERTAINLY isnt going to come flying off if you drop it (i would know, from experience...lol)
my girlfriend has the speck candyshell for her iphone, and its nice, but its kind of hard to get the phone in and out. besides, i think the glossy finish will get scratched up quickly whereas the casemate will wear much better with its textured back.
OH and the casemate tough retails for $30 but i got it on ebay new for $15 definitely worth it! i got the tpu as a less bulky backup should i ever want a "sleeker" case or something happen to the tough one.
i looked at a lot of others, but they didnt seem to offer THAT much more protection when they cost 3x as much. this seemed like the best $ to protection for me since i did pay $50 for my inspire lol
My favorite cases hands down are Seidio cases. Fantastic quality, inexpensive, and they are very clean looking. I've used Seidio on my last 2 phones and will continue to use them on future phones that I own. I swear by them.

You can attach a charm to any phone and most phone cases with an inexpensive little "O" ring device. You might be able to find one at a store that sells phone accessories or you can buy them online.
it looks good
Here it is..

Thanks for the link.
The case looks kinda meh to me and a tad bit expensive for the design/material.
Agreed. $30 for a simple case is pretty steep.
Bah. I was hoping for a Candyshell. I'll consider buying it when it hits eBay for half the price and ive seen some video reviews.
I might need to start charging more that is kinda lame for $30. It would be worth a buy @ $10. I wonder if it working with the extended battery.
That looks pretty cool but $30???

Thanks Joel. I needed a laugh like that today.
If it was a candyshell I might pay 20 bucks. But $30 for that?
Expensive, and covered button, and "for Verizon model only"
Not good

"This fits the Verizon version only. Accommodates the extended battery, too!"
Little pricey, but at least they're clear about what exactly it fits.
I agree with everyone else.. $30 for a 'standard' TPU case is too much!
meh ill be the guinea pig, ordered 1
when i get it ill let u guys know how it is and maybe some pics too
It's cool, but not for 30 bones.

Is it a TPU case? I went back to the product page and it didn't say whether it's a TPU case or not. The last case I got from them was for my wife's (3G? the square-ish one)) iPod nano, and that was pretty good quality.
Used a few Speck product before. They produce quality case.
However
This is not worth $30 lol
They thought Android users were stupid sheep like the iPoo users who pay any amount for any accessory. Luckily we have Cruzerlite that can fill our needs for the cases.
I bought the Speck case for my Macbook Air and after having to pay customs and blabla (the total case+shipping+customs was about $80) one of the lids that keeps the case attached to the laptop broke (it just broke by itself), reading on the web I saw it was not only me, it happens all the time to almost everyone so... No more overpriced Speck products for me, thanks.

I wished it was the candyshell. Pixelskin isnt worth $30
definitely not worth $30,
but its eye catching though
I'm really starting to hate Otterbox.
paying $70.00 for a case that one does not defend "Defender" the phone.
I now have 3 cracked Samsung Galaxy s3's all with Otterbox So called Defender Cases. now can anyone please tell me why it's called "Defender" if it does not defend the phone?
Also paying $70.00 and always having issues with the bumper always slipping off the damn plastic case.

If you paid $70 then you paid too much. Retail is $50.

I honestly believe otterbox dropped the ball with the defender series. But i can say from personal experience otterbox armor series, though it makes the phone a brick, it gives the best protection.
Also its easy to take off if need be.

Just rotten luck. And posting too much. I've watched my coworker throw his otter box protected phone more than a hundred times.

Depending on what you're trying to protect it from, the UAG, Defender, ShockSuit etc cases all work well.
I've dropped my S3 with all of the above from varying heights to various surfaces and the phone is perfect and cases not much worse for wear.
Search YouTube for video reviews of the various cases, they can give you a pretty good idea.
Please stop with the OT

Well I'm going to give otterbox one more try. Went to bestbuy to see if they had the Armor but they did not so they told me that they can order it for me so I said sure.
Now I have a question does otterbox offer a warranty for my phone if the armor does not live up to what otterbox says it can live up to (so if i get water damage, phone drop, ect)?
I mean paying over $100.00 (Reg $99.99 plus tax - Paid around $91.00 after taxes as it was on sale). with the claims that otterbox claims the case can withstand.
It would make sense that they offer a warranty for my phone. If not the case is has been false-advertised and is misleading.

One more thing if otterbox does not offer a warranty what case manufacturer does?
Thanks.
Not sure about the warranty on the armor. Only reason I stayed away from it is due to complaints about the sound quality during calls. Since I have no need for the crush resistance aspect, I went with Lifeproof (needed the water protection). I know Lifeproof will not replace your phone and the warranty terms for it clearly state that the cases are not a replacement for insurance.

Otterbox will only warranty the case, not the device. There are to many variables to consider when a casr fails.

I got the free replacement too (iPhone 4S), but it's too bad that the new one is already becoming stretched out and sloppy after only a couple months. I'll be sending off for warranty replacement for my iPad Mini Defender soon, and I'm otherwise done with Otterbox. Too much money for a greatly disappointing product.
Also bought one for my wife's Samsung Google Nexus, and that's in pretty bad shape too for being 8 months old and spending a good chunk of its time inside a purse pocket.
thanks to this forum I didn't get an otterbox because of posts like this with people saying how it cracks the screen and they aren't as well made for samsung as they are for iphones and other phones. Went with the Body Glove Tough Suit which was suggested on here and it was $30 at wal mart. Working like a charm for over 4 months now, lots of drops and no damage. Just think I'd like a waterproof case now thats not a whole lot bigger in size so I've been checking out the new Griffin Survivor cases they carry in Wal Mart now for $30-$40. Says its waterproof and haven't seen a whole lot about them on here or people talking about the quality and toughness of the case compared to others. Mostly need a new case thats dustproof and light waterproof would be nice too. Can't seem to keep dust out with the case I have now and using my phone while its raining and not being cautious of a drop in water is always a plus because you really never know when something will happen.
I'm willing to pay more for a better case but since the cheap one I have now has worked so good for me, I'm thinking this Survivor one might turn out as good as my Body Glove.

The Griffin survivor is not water proof but rather water resistant. I'd had one before my otterbox armor series, loved it. But needed completely waterproof.
