I had the Incipio "Feather" case for my EVO 4G, and it was hands down my fav case out of the half dozen or so cases I tried on my old EVO. Hopefully this new "Barely There" case is similar to my "Feather" ?

Cant wait to see a review on this. I had one for my EVO 4G and liked almost everything about it, but ended up returning it because the lip didnt come over far to protect the screen. Id like to be able to lay it face down, and not have to worry about the glass touch anything. Im hoping this one will allow that.
look at the camera cutout, doesn't look aligned.. =(

Thats not even a picture of the product on a real phone, could just be bad photoshop. Barely there sucks though since no lay on the table design. Whats the point? You drop it face down and your screwed.

Please do post pics and a quick little review once you receive it. I loved the fleaBay barely there case I kept on my Evo. I actually didn't even realize the "real" name of product as I stumbled onto the case on fleaBay and never needed another. I found the real product right before I sold my Evo right before I got my 3D.
Thanks!
ETA: I am currently using a TPU from TPU Cases and it is really nice. I'm just used to having some options and the thin snap on is one I really like having. The argyle TPU is a real crowd pleaser.
i just bought this one. I loved the Casemate barely there on my EVO 4G. I will let you know how this one works.

I bought this one and its just like the case-mate barely there case. It does have a lip that will protect the screen if you place it face down and its really slim. The cut-outs are all perfectly aligned. Its plastic with soft rubberized coat.

Hmm, sorry. Here is where I got the code from:
http://www.retailmenot.com/view/case-mate.com
It says its for "custom cases" (the ones you can put your own pictures on) so I'm not sure why it worked for my order.
I see theres a new one "july4" for 20% off, mysave10 for 10% off, cmretail10 for 10% off. Just look around
Case just arrived.
This is exactly, I mean exactly what I was looking for. It's just like the best case I ever saw, my Wifes Nexus-S case by MyIncipio, thier ultra slim "Feather" model, but it covers the top of the screen ever so slightly, where as the case for the ogEVO stopped right before top of the screen, which was dumb.
The feel and grip of the case is spot on perfect. Not too slick, not too sticky, but just right.
I hate bulky cases with a passion, don't want my phone looking like a thick bar of soap. Plus I has an OtterBox case on ogEVO and phone still cracked screen from a small drop. So no case can 100% protect you.
I am very satisfied with my purchase here. To me the perfect case.

This case looks exactly like one I got off amazon for like 8 bucks. The one I got is kind of a frosted look. I love how minimal it is while still having I think the best design for the camera-when its a big opening its not well protected especially from fingerprints. I just wish I could get a holster for it. The other thing the cutouts for the cameras are perfect and I tried an otterbox and they didn't line up near as good.

I just got my phone yesterday and I've been looking for a hip case that fits the phone with a little bit of wiggle room. I came from using the Hero and I had a the leather HTC hip case and the phone fit perfectly while using a silicon case. The 3vo fits the HTC hip case but is a little tight, though the phone is naked. I purchased another silicon/rubber case that is similar to that of my her for the 3vo and was wondering if anybody has bought a hip case for theirs yet. Everything I've found so far has been a tight fit for the 3vo naked and would definitely not fit with a rubber case on it.
Side note: I'm not looking for a plastic case with a clip on it. I'm looking for a horizontal leather hip case for huge phones. Hopefully somebody has looked and possibly found one.
Regards.
Lo, I read this thread title, thinking you wanted a "hip" case, meaning a cool cat case, or something jazzy looking. Not actually a case for your hip
lol no not quite, i suppose i should have worded the topic better
also.....

There are plenty of cases like that on ebay. I just bought a carbon fiber one waiting for it to come in. Just search "evo 3d pouch"

I was using the Seidio leather case from my 4G as the sides were stretchy and it fit. But now that I have a stuck pixel forums have scared me into the magnet conspiracy theory and it's now going commando. I just ordered an exact clip from Seidio, prob less bulky when wearing it anyway....

I have this case and I like it. The clip is nice and secure on your belt.
I bought the leather case for the Droid X at a Verizon store for $25. I used a case on both the EVO and the 3D. ""wiggle" room is provided
I'm looking for a vertical one with a swivel clip (similar to blackberry's). Saw a couple on ebay, but I'm not sure if the clip part is any good.

and another one with a stand http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-evo-3d-kickstand-case.html
i only see pics of phones side ways. i want to know if any of these cases support upright or vertically.
Just to check back on those who've purchased a case already:
I just got my TPU cover in today and wanted to know if anybody had tried a hipcase w/ a tpu case on the phone as well. I looked at the HTC one but I'm thinking it might have been the wrong one or something, seemed to be extremely tight...i'm guessing it was the smaller of the two. anybody tried a TPU + hipcase and had a decent amount of success fit wise?

i was looking at this case on amazon and thought about ordering that one. i was wondering for those of you that already have it. does the phone fit really snug or is there room in there for phone/tpu case combo.
thanks for your time
I have the HTC Messenger Case with the TPU case. I ordered it base on crucial929 saying its a tight fit in post #5. I think it's way too tight with the TPU case on. I couldn't even get the phone out the first time I slide the phone in. I've cut a piece of cardboard long enough to wrap around both ends of the phone w/TPU case and force it into the HTC case. Took awhile to force it in but after one night, the ends has stretch out enough for the phone to slide out. Planning to repeat the same process every night unit the phone can slide out without any force.
The quality of the case is excellent. The leather is soft and I'm surprised the stitching hasn't torn apart with me trying to stretch it out.

how is this silicone case compare to the TPU cases? does it hold its shape as well as the TPU? I have a TPU now, but its not as soft as i expected (for drop impact shock protection) and its a fingerprint magnet.

Oh Silicone is awesome, it's softer squishier than TPU and also attracts all the lint in your pocket. /Sarcasm.

Received mine early this week and I really like this case. The fit is great and it has a non slip feel. Would definitely recommend.

I have one like this, bought it at my local Radio Shack. The design on the one in the link is not offered at my local store in black, only grey, red, and purple. My black silicone has lines going from side to side instead of dots. I can post pics if any one wants. I like my design my better than the dots...
I was trying on the HTC silicone and the Otterbox Impact and I think that the HTC is built much better. The Otterbox Impact would slide off the bottom way too easy, love my Defender though...

Can you sense my excitement here??
Great Case, Im currently switching back and forth between this and the TPU "hybrid" case. Loving them both tho
I love this case. My OG EVO I never had a case on it, but I'm loving this case on my EVO 3D. I'd like to get another color too, just to alternate after a while.
Here are the pics of the HTC case in black with a different design on the back.
It looks almost gray in the pics, but I assure you it is black
Hello,
I ordered the black one with the dots on it and received it this weekend. It is a very nice case. It is not very thick and provides a good feel and protection. Before I was using an otterbox impact which I like, but it was a little too thick. I did see the other one as metioned above at Radio Shack this weekend and those were also nice. Is anyone also using a hip case with theirs? I am not use to carrying phones in my pocket and would like to put this is a hip case.
Alright so, I'm the type of person who never puts cases on their phones..
The least I would ever do would be an zagg shield.
Though, with the evo 3D I'm sorta feeling a case now.
I'm looking for a really... really thin case.
My friend has the infuse on at&t and she has a really thin case.
It feels almost metal..and only covers the back and the sides.
But it as almost no bulk to the phone..
Anything similar to that for the evo 3d?
thanks!
heres what i bought:

How do you like it?
I personally wouldnt recommend them as they provide no protection at all if you drop the phone face down or it lands on the corner edge. I would go with a TPU case if you need something that is thin, as they wrap around the edges and protect the phone better. I'm not just saying this because I own TPU-Cases either Buy them from whoever you want.. just my opinion of course.
I have the matte back black case from tpu-cases.com and highly recommend them:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7&sort=20a&page=1
it's thin, fits perfectly, aesthetically looks great, free fast shipping (they are a U.S. seller so there's no wait time unlike the overseas stuff) with email confirmation, all at a great price. Their current line up have the camera holes lined up and as it's raised, there is protection for the 3D's dual cameras when you lay it flat on a table. The shutter and volume buttons are covered but access is not a problem for me.
Hope this helps.
I have a smoke argyle TPU already. I bought it since I got the phone 3 days before release and an Otterbox wasn't out yet. Once rooting my phone I realized how much I loved how thin it was.
i just bought this one i thought it looked really cool and it cheap so if i dont like it no big loss http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Metal-Case-Cover-HTC-EVO-3D-Sprint-H153-/320721844909?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aac82faad
I bought this one and really like it. It fits very tightly and looks really nice in person. It snaps together securely and if I have any complaints, this tight and secure fit is it. I had to take it off once to do a battery pull and I thought I was going to destroy it getting it off. If you like to frequently swap out spare batteries, this is probably not the case for you. Other than that, I can't find any faults with it.

i like the case alot, fits perfect. It adds no bulk at all which is what i wanted cause i also never used a case on my previous phone just the Zagg shield, i have full zagg on along with this case so the tops and bottom where the case does not cover is still protected. Also i have a tpu case and the otterbox commuter, i use each depending on the kind of things i do that day.
I'm with you, I've never used a case and I always used to bad mouth people who made their brand new phone ugly as **** buy putting a case on it. Hell, I even got my roommate to go naked with his Droid X.
BUT, I dropped my new baby Evo3D a few times already and since I'm no longer rich, I thought, I'd put a case on it. Got one of these bad boys from ebay, $2.19 shipped
The fit is perfect and it doesn't look bad either. Adds minimal thickness. I also ordered a ballistic case just to try it out...we'll see though. I don't want the phone to look like a brick

I had that case also and agree, very nice and doesn't add much bulk at all. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, getting it off the phone is ridiculously difficult IMO. Also, I didn't like the fact that instead of having smaller, precise cutouts for just the camera lenses and the flash, it had one giant cutout in the back for the entire camera module (leaves the area more susceptible to scratches IMO). So I returned it and got a case from tpu-cases.com. Different material but adds about the same amount of neglible bulk to the phone. More importantly for me though, it doesn't have the one giant cutout in the back but rather, instead, has smaller cutouts just for the two camera lenses, flash, and speaker.
how about this? htc official case

I think the case mate barely there is the thinnest case out there. I got a couple of copycat cases from here:
Case-Mate barely there copycat
Another Case-Mate barely there copycat
I bought both of them in black. They turned out to be identical. Both are the same thinness and have the soft touch paint in the back. Now I got 2 of them.... and can only use one..... pushing my wife to get an EVO 3D as well when her contract is up in Nov.
I have a case like the CaseMate Barely There on my 4th Gen IPod Touch and love it. For my 3D, u have all 3 Otterbox cases and use them for different activities.

I have this one, and in a few colors. Really like it, too. For some reason, I get obsessed with trying lots of new cases, so I have about a dozen, probably.
http://www.tridenteer.com/products/...axy-S-II-(GT%2di9100,-SGH%2di777),-Black.html
I just received this case yesterday and I got to say that it is a pretty nice case if you're looking for a tough case. I've been looking for a case like the Otterbox since it appears they will not be releasing a defender series for this phone. This one is actually the opposite because they put the hard case on the outside of the silicone case. They did this so when you don't need/want the plastic part, you can still use the silicone part as a case. The metal kickstand is also a nice addition, especially since I tend to watch netflix on my phone quite a bit. It is a universal GS2 case, meaning it fits ours and the international version. It has a notch at the bottom for the international's home button, and has the hole at the top for our noise cancellation mic. You do have to work it a bit to get the plastic part over the silicone, but really that's a good thing. Also the button feel is really nice with this case. Feels better than when it's just the phone itself. They also got the phone to me quickly. I got it about 3 days after I ordered it and it came from California to South Carolina, free shipping. So if you've been wondering about this case or wanting another option for a tough case, I'd give this one a try. I love it. Oh and there are also other colors available.
dang, i was hoping this would be about the rum.
looks like a cool case, thanks for the review.

I've been looking for something since falling out of love with the Siedio Active combo, but I really dislike how the holster has that circular portion resting directly against the screen. That just can't be good for anything over the long term.
It doesn't touch the screen. There's plenty of space.

I love that stuff.
how much bulk does it add to the phone and how easy is it pushing volume and power buttons. thanks

Like I said the buttons feel better than without a case. As for bulk it adds a bit, probably about as much as an otterbox defender would. It is a tough case afterall. Trident also offers other cases for our phones.

That's a nice case. I've never liked things like the Otterbox, always thought they were really fugly. If I were in the market for a tough case, I'd definitely consider this.

Yeah I agree they aren't attractive but I've always been a function over fashion type lol. But hell this case had me sold when it was a tough case with a kickstand. I watch a lot of netflix on my phone.

Kickstands are great. I made one using the spare battery cover from my Vibrant. I don't watch too much content on my phone anymore though, the screen is too small for me =P
Wow that looks cool think I might get the green...

TRIDENT AMS-SGX2-BK Kraken AMS Case for Samsung Galaxy S II - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Black
The Kraken (AMS-SGX2) listed in Amazon for the GS2 doesnt say whether they are for the i777 but clearly look like they are for the i9100. It does say that they fit the GS1 though.
Anybody have more personal input on this case yet?
Please post pics if someone gets one on our AT&T version.
I have the green one now. It is designed to fit both. There is an antenna hole in the upper right corner in the silicone. The hole for the microphone at the top is grooved(in the silicone) in such a way that the at&t and i9100 can utilize it. Overall it is a nice case but the two halves(front & back) seem like they don't snap together tight enough. Maybe it won't be a problem but only time will tell. Also, the plastic seems to slip out of my hands more easily than a case that has more silicone.

It is a hybrid case, meant to fit the international and AT&T versions.
Thanks fellas. I'm thinking about getting the Red one myself but I would like to see pics of it first, dont want it to look pinkish red
Can you post close up pictures (any color)?
I'll try to post pics if I get the chance, and I can find my camera. I use my phone for everything and haven't used a camera in ages. I have the red one and there is no pinkish to it.
i don't know if anyone has mentioned this case before but i just picked one up since i saw it at my local bestbuy and i have to say, im loving this case. It looks good, doesn't rise above the screen very much at all. the smoke color kinda blends with the phone, there is a cutout for the kickstand and its easy to pop the stand out, all of the buttons are covered, and this thing fits TIGHT, it was pretty hard to get on but this thing is never gonna fall off and its good because unlike other cases, the part of the case on the sides of the screen don't flare out when your finger brushes them unlike a lot of other cases ive seen (not on this phone). one thing to mentions is that it does cover the camera button and from what i hear, other cases make it hard to use the 2 stages on the hardware button. this isn't that case with this case, i find it very easy to feel the camera buttons 2 stages so don't worry about that if you were concerned about it. overall 9 out of 10 for this case, only gripe being that it was kinda expensive for a tpu case.
will post pictures later once i get my old evo 4g back up an running after my sdcard transferring and whatnot i did yesterday since i just got this phone last night
link to the case: http://www.rocketfishproducts.com/products/mobile-phones-gps/RF-HSTSP.html?supportTab=open
24.99 for a TPU case?!
surely op will deliver pics.
i asked about the rocketfish yest.
if someone can get a good deal or sale/coupon code on one i think its worth it.
yeah its a little over priced but i had a gift card with 20 on it so it cost me like 6ish. and like i said. pics will come later once i get around to getting my og evo back up and running

I also picked up this case last week at Best Buy. I wasn't expecting to pick up a case, the cute BB girl showed me the case and put it on. I instantly fell in love... with the case. Sprint sent me the blue case protector. I liked the Sprint case, but it was too sticky. It was very difficult to get it in and out of my pocket, I also didn't like the color. I love this case because it's black, keeps the phone slim, and it is easy to get in and out of my pocket. I love it!

I concur. I too brought the Diztronic case and thats the most im willing to spend as well. I just dont see the point.... But hey to each his own lol.
I got one because it was the only other case best buy had other than the platinum case which I was returning bc it scratched paint off.
Shame bc I really liked the platinum case. This one is okay, fits better than any other tpu case I've had. The price is high though.
Thinking of taking this one back for a *gasp otterbox once best buy gets them back on stock...

Rocketfish TPU case FTW
I first bought the Platinum case at Best Buy and guess what the camera button does not work at all with the case on and furthermore the holster it comes with either turns the phone off or the volume all the way down depending on which way you put it in. I also put an Otterbox Defender case on my EVO 4g LTE in a Radioshack store and it is just to bulky. I bought the rocketfish and also thought it was pricy myself for what it was. However I really like it because it cover all of the buttons yet they all still work properly and the mics, kickstand, headphone jack and micro USB have openings that work well. The case looks awesome and does not.add to much thickness at all to the phone which leaves me with the only downfall of.the case it does not stick out far enough to keep the camera lense off a table. I may have to order a otterbox commuter after all but the rocketfish was really only supposed to be temporary anyway. I would recommend it though if youvcan rememberot not to lay it on the camera.

I just took a closer look and the glass for what is actually the lense cover and not the actual camera lense is actually recessed so if you lay the EVO on it's back it will only sit on the metal ring around the glass. I probably would not even do that much depending on what type of surface I am sitting it on. I read another guys review about three other you cases and he complained about the openings on two of them where as the rocketfish does not have these openings. It is a suprisingly good case. I usually do not buy Store brand items but I may actually use this thing for a while I think. I would go as far as saying there is probably not a better TPU case out right now for the Ltevo.
