Always wear a rubber...

Or you could end up like me...
I was bringing my phone over to me from reaching over to get it from my back pocket, and a little slip happened and I ended up semi-tossing the phone on the ground. It was the one time I had taken the case off and well, you play with fire, you get burned.
I was wondering where it would be best to buy a hardcase for my new EVO (thank god for phone insurance), as well as screen protectors, and a charging cable (my other one has been subjected to lots of wear and tear and I have to bend it into mindboggling directions to get the phone to charge).
I'm try to go for at least bulk as possible but I still want some decent protection, any recommendations?

I bought the innocase rugged from Seido it has 180 degrww clip and a little bulky but great protection.

otterbox, ballistic and trident all seem to be the top cases for evo's.
personally, i currently recommend the trident cyclops.
sorry about your phone man.

I have had my phone since the IO conference... I haven't put anything on it... still haven't broken it

Jacka Slim Leather Cover?
I'm very happy with my Jacka slim leather cover.
Low profile slips easily in & out of my pocket & the front cover protects the screen.

I really like that case, where did you get it? I can only find it on ebay from a couple chinese sellers.

I personally went with a smoke colored tpu case from Luxmo. It serves hard case protection with a mix of gel case and almost not there feeling.

naztech vertex
I like the naztech vertex cover its cheap and protects well plus comes with a screen protector. the design is similar to the case mate that has the abs over silicon

That's where I first spotted it but I ended up buying at Carry Mobile.

I'm guessing it's the same people as it shipped from Hong Kong, took almost 3 weeks.

I Have the Seidio Innocase II and holster. Just got my wife the active limited edition. One thing to watch out for with the holster is your side brushing up against something and unlatching the phone.(like your seat belt latch) Because of this, my evo took a three foot fall a few days ago. It landed on the corner and cartwheeled down my driveway. The only damage was a few scuffs on the case. This is my fourth phone with the seidio cases on them. I used to be a field service technician and I was really hard on my phones. Every phone I have had has taken several falls to concrete, dirt and rocks. I even cracked the seidio case that I had on my tour. I figured the case did its job and bought a new one. I know a lot of people like the otterbox and other cases, but I really like the seidio holster set up. Im thinking about stepping up to the extended rugged case if I get the extended battery. Don't like the idea of losing the kickstand though.

catseyenu,
how does the flip cover on the Jacka model stay shut? I see a little lip on top that acts as a fastener. Does it work well? If the phone were to fall out of my hands, I would want the flap to stay shut.

The leather is encasing a thin rigid (plastic?) frame that adds tension to the clasp.
I've had it about a month and it's worked well so far, the only concern I have is if the leather bands at the bottom stretch out it could become loose.
If that occurs I know a good boot maker that can fix it for me.

Seidio Rugged vs. Otterbox Defender vs. Trident Kraken

Which one is the best? Please let me know I don't know which one to buy for my Droid X. Also if you know of any heavy protection cases for it just comment below...

can someone plz answer this haha i really wanna know i think its between the seidio rugged and the otterbox defender in my opinion but plz help me out which do you guys think would be the best heavy protection case?

I have both the seidio, and the otterbox. The Otterbox wins at everything but Seidio has the better holster.

I ordered the Trident to replace my Rugged. The Trident is better in my opinion. The rubber on the rugged wore out within a month. The trident also seemed to be thinner and molded to fit my hand better. I almost got the Otterbox, but I am glad I ordered the Trident instead.
As far as protection goes, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the three as all are built like tanks.

I have the Seido one and I have loved it. I love it has a piece of rubber to cover over the camera so that nothing can scratch it. I have been debating about getting the Otterbox but dont really now if I want to or not

I work heavy construction (demo of fire damaged houses) and I roll up my sleeves and get in there with my guys on a daily basis. Needles to say; the case gets a BEATING. The case is on my tool belt at all times, the phone does get answered whenever it rings; my gloves usually have foreign matter that should not be allowed within 10 feet of anything electronic. 90% of my guys have Androids and we use Tikl alot as well. We had a number of "rugged" cases come and go, but Otterbox is the winner.

I have had my hands on all three and nothing beats the $14.99 Dual Layer Vertex Case I found @ Techie Warehouse. I would definitely recommend googling this. Have you ever taken a good look at the Seidio Innocases... they are molded with cheap plastic and when you drop your Droid X with the Innocase the two piece snap on just comes apart half the time so you end up with a minor scuff.

I haven't used Seidio or Trident, but I own the Otterbox Defender. A regular $50, you can find it for $35 shipped on eBay. I'm definitely happy and don't have anything bad to say about it.
It has rubber flaps to cover all plug openings and they fit snug, all buttons are covered and pressable through the rubber, and the screen sets in about 1/8" so if it sits on its face it is not sitting directly on the screen. There is also a built-in screen protector. The camera also sets in so there is no resting the phone on the camera. I particularly like the holster because you can place the phone in any of 4 directions and it snaps in perfectly: screen out - either direction, screen in - either direction. The case is easily removable if you need to get to the inside quickly, such as the battery or sd card.
It was basically the best $35 I've spent on an accessory for my X (with the 5000mAh portable charger being a close second XD ) and I definitely don't feel like I have to handle it with extra care anymore.

The Kracken has all ports covered, along with all speaker holes.
The Kraken is pretty much like the old otterboxes with covered the camera with a clear skin, along with pieces of fabric covering all speaker-,mic holes. The Otterbox for the DX does NOT have those, which makes it not completely dustproof.
And as for the guy complaining about the plastic Innocase coming apart on the Seido when you drop it..... It was designed that way. It spreads the impact of your clumsy drop away from the much more expensive phone, and towards the cheap replaceable case. Think of it like a crumple zone in a car. Its meant to protect the insides of the phone, not keep it pretty.

Any seen a dock that fits these cases? I know there have been some handbuilt. Seidio has usually made a dock that fits their cases. But I have yet to see this.

Waiting for Galaxy Note black TPU case with stand

I have been using these on my Galaxy S2 and Tab. I didn't like the idea when I was browsing for a new case on Ebay, but when I got it, I soon changed my mind!
If anyone finds anything like it then please post on this thread!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gel-TPU-C..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a90b8802

looks like a great idea....but i think i would prefer if the clear stand part be black or grey in colour instead

They come in many different colours and styles. And with stand / without stand

I found something very similar (or identical):
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/522134318/S_Line_Crystal_Plastic_TPU_Protector.html
There are other variants on alibaba, the only problem is that the minimum quantity is usually 50-100 pieces :-/
EDIT: found it on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9

I bought one before seeing this thread.
When I receive it, I'll tell you if its good/bad etc

when i find something good
，will let you know

I searched on ebay for "galaxy note kickstand case TPU" and got a result:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9
I eneded up ordering for around $8 the kickstand case with included car charger and 3 screen protectors. Will reply here with a review here once I get it.

I bought one of these too. I figure you can't go wrong for $5.

For $8 I got a car charger, 3 screen protectors and the case.
The case:
Black TPU and Grey Silicon.
Kickstand is Silicon and a part of the case's mainframe.
The Kickstand works well.
The TPU is knife-proof and tamper proof, but dont drop it from a 2.5+ metre height.
The TPU has textured sides which help with grip A LOT.
All the holes and ports (pen) are easily accessible.
The buttons are covered but NOT hard to press.
Whole case is quite thin, so its not very "drop proof" but very resistant to heat and cuts.
Did I say it is thin, so it still fits in my pockets easily.
Verdict: 9/10
This has replaced my Carbon Fibre case (which was protective). This case is a MUST HAVE for any NOTE owners.
Sidenote: I also bought the GPS holder ($6) from the same seller "telegaming", it is also a high quality piece.

Using my Pebble S3 Naked...

I always carry my S3 in my pocket and, it always leads to it being scratched from the constant movement.
All the screen protectors that I tried previously were all horribly scratched or would leave smudges and residue on the screen protector.
I'm planning on getting a pouch, preferably the Crumena pouch for the S3. Having a pouch that would snuggly fit my S3 would prevent the scratches.
Any recommendations?

I used this when going naked:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Pull-...799329?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c883b521
Good material and well-made too. Not sure if/how the belkin could be too much better.
However if you want something to use with a case go this route..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271015599116?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Wow, the Crunema looks pretty nice! Seems much better than both the belkin and the ebay pull-tab case. On both of those, sometimes its tough to tell which side of the phone the pull-tab goes on and you have to peek inside the case before inserting your phone. Having the pull-tab on the side makes it clear the proper orientation and no more having to peek inside.. .kind of like that But for an extra $25 maybe not so much..

Thanks for the recommendation! That's way cheaper than the crumena. The shops in my area are selling the similar products at $20... Do the leather wear and tear with prolonged usage?

I use a black leather suncase pouch, its very high quality, i love it

I own it, but I didn't review it like I normally do. Not sure why. The case is a very good case for a 20 dollar case. It's basically a bugdroid tpu hot glued into a wallet case. It's a bit bulky, but the majority of that is the tpu case itself. The case is a smart case and the clasp is nice and strong. However the clasp is a bit of annoyance to me because it sits awkwardly on my wireless chargers. The best qi charger I have to use it with is the Tylt Vu because it can accommodate landscape charging. The orb barely holds on and it just sits crooked because of the clasp. I'll sell it to you if you want. I have the whitish/black version.
From this wallet case, I went onto the Rock Slim Elegant case. VERY thin. Think of it as the Poetic Palette with a flip attached to it via hinge. Very slim compared to the Cruzerlite, but not as much overall protection. Plus the front flap doesn't stay closed, but I have it in my pocket anyway. Needless to say it works with wireless charging like a champ. However, not a smart case. No magnets on this case. I would say this would be the minimalist flip case. No card pockets here.
And then I found what I initially thought was the perfect slim wallet type case; the Seidio Ledger. I have come across an issue with what Seidio calls the soft touch on the case that holds the phone. While it feels like pure butter in your hand, my two cases resulted in the soft touch material rubbing off on various parts of the case. I have been working with Seidio for the past week and seeing if there is a fix for it. So the jury is out on it. I love it, it has a cut out for the LED, no other flip case I know of has this, the kickstand, not needed but nice to have, has a smart cover and the metal kickstand is not THAT obtrusive when placing in my various wireless qi chargers. I have the Tylt Vu, Nexus Wireless charger and the Nexus orb charger.
