I just recently got my 3vo and i need a case for it, never been a big fan of the otterboxes (just seem too bulky). I need a case that looks good and gives some protection.. i have a 2 year old that loves to play with my phone.. But im not sure what to get.. I dont work in construction or take my phone on any extreme sports, but i do forget my phone on my lap in the car all the time and go to get out and boom it hits the ground.. so i do need some protection..
So far this is the one im likeing

If you have a Best Buy near you, you can go there an try on some cases. They carry the one you posted too.
I had that case for my Evo 4G and I liked it a lot. Very nice case. The ones at Best Buy are named Pt, but they are made ny Seidio for Best Buy. Same exact case, just a different name stamped on it.

The casemate tough case is pretty nice. It's not super big like the defender but its not slim either. But it looks nice, fits great and protects well. I got mine off ebay for about 22 bucks new. Well worth it. I also have the seidio active but prefer the tough case and haven't taken it off for the last 2 weeks or so except to clean it.

I'm still waiting for the Ballistic Case for the Evo 3D to make its appearance on their website; waiting on the HC version.
The CaseMate's look pretty good as well. I've seen good reviews for the Tough Case that they make.
However, SLM is correct. Go try out the Platinum cases at Best Buy before you take the plunge with the Seidio case. It costs $34.99 at Best Buy for the same Seidio one you're interested in.
I'll tell you from experience that I have the Platinum case (a.k.a. a rebranded version of the Seido Active case), and it's pretty sweet! Rumor has it that Best Buy will also be getting the Seidio 1900 mAh batteries as well, but they'll too be rebranded as Platinum. The case I got is excellent and slimmer than the Otterbox cases. It comes in two pieces. You have a silicone sleeve with a felt-like interior that wraps around the phone, and then you have a strong plastic skeleton that wraps around the sleeve. Although the case is great, there are a few things that I don't like about it. For one, if you keep your phone in your pocket like me, you'll start to notice pocket lint collect around the edges of the case. Also, it's sometimes hard to press buttons around the edges of the phone. For example, I use Swype, and when I have to manually type in a word instead of swiping, it can be difficult pressing letters such as P or A. I'll accidentally hit the O or S keys. But it does offer damn good protection. I've gotten so accustomed to the case that it's just weird to hold the phone without it. The case also protects the dual cameras in the back. I have no clue why HTC decided to have the cameras stick out, but this case offers protection for them. As far as my pocket lint issue goes, I think I might invest in a holster for the phone. I'm not sure if Best Buy sells the Platinum branded holster that is compatible with the Active case, but I'll look sometime this week and let you know. I use my phone as my primary music player, whether it's mp3s stored on the phone, FM radio, or Internet radio, and I think that having it on my hip instead of my pocket will be a little bit more convenient for me.
As far as cases go, I've only seen the Platinum case with the black skeleton being sold at Best Buy. Seido sells their Active case with different colored skeletons, but the sleeve still remains black. I'm kinda disappointed Best Buy didn't sell the burgundy skeleton. I think it would've looked nice on this phone (I'm a fan of dark red colors.). If you want something more rugged, Seido sells on their website the Surface case (a hard two piece plastic shell available with or without a kickstand) and the Convert case. If you plan on drunkenly abusing your phone or chunking your phone at the wall after a pissed off conversation, I recommend the Convert case. It's like a combination of the Active and Surface cases. The inner layer is the Surface case, and then it's wrapped with a silicone sleeve and skeleton like the Active case. It also has a detachable cover for the rear cameras. To top it all off, the Convert case comes with a precision-cut screen guard. I don't really need all that thickness and protection, but I would put money down that the Convert case holds up to its name. If you plan on getting an extended battery though, make sure you get an extended case since the regular cases won't fit with the extended battery door.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck shopping for the right case!
I bought a silicon case with the wave. Protects camera, wich had to be protected since it sticks out. Also protects the other buttons and seems to fit well...
Its only 1,50 dollar so thats not a bad deal.
The TPU case is really awesome. It's on ebay and really cheap! Just search ebay for "evo 3d tpu case"
Only one downside, almost every 3vo owner has it
Red Body Glove case
I have the Body Glove case in red, and I like it a lot. It is a nice looking case.
I have no issues with mine unlike some others, but check out the pictures here:

Sounds good, let us know what you decide. Bhambalek said they only have the black skeleton shell at his Best Buy. My local Best Buy only had them in white. Maybe yours will have both so you'll have options. Good luck!

Just unpacked and put on my Seidio Active with holster, got the saphire blue from Versio Mobile on Amazon, 34.49 shipped.
Very nice case, fits very snug, like the inner skin and outer skeleton, holster is very solid. Only complaint, that the camera glass is not protected; probably order a carbon skin so I can throw some protection on that glass. Had a TPU on her since day one and glad I upgraded to this one.

I also like and recommend the TPU Skin Cover Phone Case for HTC Evo 3D http://www.amazon.com/TPU-Cases-Flexible-Sprint-Retail-Packaging/dp/B0053NWDO0
I have the Sedio Surface case and am happy with it. Decent protection and it has a kickstand also.
I posted a review on sprintusers, but dont know the policy here about linking to other forums.
i picked up the PT Cruiser case yesterday, i was able to get the black and white one that i liked.. Now i first off the bat i really like the look and feel of the case, but i dont like how the phone fits in the rubber sleeve, its not a real snug fit. So i can see pocket lint and other things easily able to get inbetween the phone and the rubber side, but other then that i like it so far.. Its still a lil early to make a final decision on the case..
But again thanks for everyones responces, i have to say this site really does rock!!
one word: otterbox defender. Ok so that was 2 words.
I have four requirements:
(1) Decent protection all around except for screen.
(2) Protection for the camera.
(3) Must lie flat and not wobble when typing w/phone on table.
(4) Must not make the phone significantly fatter (otterbox is OUT).
Anyone have any suggestions? I actually like the gel case from Sprint but it doesn't protect the camera.
Mike
i like seidio case the best
i've tried all sorts of cases and I keep coming back to my casemate tough case, can't go wrong with that one. It's not that bulky and offers just the right amount of protection without having your phone inside a vault like the defender.
Seidio Active or Platinum Cruiser. I had the Seidio on my Evo 4G for a year. Get the holster from Seidio to prevent the lint issue and clip it inside of your pocket. Something that nobody mentioned is that the rubber bezel allows you to set the phone face down without the screen contacting. That also makes it slip resistant and prevents an unattended ringing phone from vibrating off of the desk. Not too much bulk either.

My Atrix has become a scratch magnet so i need to get a good case and I cant decide which one to get
so which case should i get?
I need a case that will completely protect my phone from scratches and falls, yet also allow me to use a dock, and not be to heavy at the same time
so far these are the ones that i think will work just need anyone's advice as to which one to get...

Thank you to anyone who is willing to help
I got this one at Radio Shack and so far I like it. Seems to give the phone a little protection and does not add too much to the phone. It was only about $9.00.
Incipio MT-106 Feather Case for Motorola Atrix 4G - Matte Black
I have the speck case. Very durable and even dropped my phone from about five feet high landing on the corner of the case on the edge of my metal bedframe. The case has a little dent where that happened but nothing happened to the phone. Doesnt fit very well in the dock but is extremely easy to take on and off.
you should think about getting a new back cover (i believe they come in green or blue) and then just putting a high quality screen protector on your phone. the scratch issue is gone, the phone still fits in the dock, and the screen is decently protected.
this may help:

I would recommend the Seidio Active case from www.seidioonline.com if you dont like bulk but want decent protection. I own that case in Sapphire Blue and love it. I'm currently using my Ballistic HC series case, which is the BEST protection you can possibly get for the Atrix. Beats the otterbox defender hands down.

Personally I just bought an oem battery door from ebay and it fits perfect, with less creaking than my old one. Plus I purchased a tpu case from ebay also, I always go with these tpu cases as they are lightweight and protect from major falls. Dropped my inc-s which had one from about 4 feet onto concrete and not a single mark was left on the phone. Hope this helps.
Sorry if I sounds like an idiot, kinda new to posting
I still prefer the old flip leather case I used with my HTCs with windows mobile. Good times...

To be honest, I love the aesthetics of this case; however, I dislike it very much right now.
I recently dropped my phone as I was getting out of my car. It's not a high car. I saw the phone hit the ground, the case flew off, and then my phone hit the ground again.
Now, my once pristine phone has deep scratches on all 4 corners.

New dilemma
Ok now after all of my case searching these are the two choices that i have:
An Incipio Feather Case and Zagg Screen Protector
or
An Incipio SILICRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core
Which one should i get now?
btw i couldnt get what i said i was getting before cause they do not deliver to Pakistan but Incipio and Zagg do from their official websites
get the Otterbox Commuter
Dont really like the Otterbox commuter...what about the two cases that i stated before? Which one of those should i get?
Pwersonally, I would go for the 'Clear Protector' instead of Zagg... I have tried both and found the 'clear' a smarter fit.
As for the cover, it is up to you. Trial and erorr no doubt. I have the mesh cover which fits well (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/new-Hard-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item53e8938ff1) and provides protection.
I prefer Martin Fields than Zagg. They seem comparable in protection but Martin Fields has no orange peel yet has anti glare and also A LOT easier to 'install' on your phone.
I just got my atrix but i dont like the plastic cover. I had desire to this point and i am looking for a case which has that kind of feel like desire.
I would really appreciate any help
Looking to get a new case and was hoping to hear some opinions from those of you with cases or whom have had a chance to try a few out. I currently have the D30 flex protective cover from T-mobile (black and for sale if anyone wants it 10$ no drops). I really like the D30 material and have enjoyed their past products but my girlfriend's phone just broke (not using D30, but it got me thinking). Given that the Amaze is a heavier phone and the glass sticks out so much I feel I should step up the protection on this phone to prevent knicks on the bottom two corners that could potentially cause cracks. I've looked around at a few cases and have narrowed it down to a few.
-Trident Kraken AMS Case w/ Holster for HTC Amaze 4G, Blue
-Ballistic Case for HTC Amaze 4G / Ruby
-HTC Amaze 4G Tough Cases
(If I'm missing some amazing case let me know)
Price really isn't a factor, they are relatively the same price, and in the end it is a good idea to get something that will work and last in the sense of protecting an investment.
Only issues I have heard of but have not found anything concrete to go off of have been:
-Covering of rear holes (Receptiom, WiFi, noise cancellation; although I don't think I'd mind making them myself if I decided strongly on a case without them)
-Inaccurate fitment (as in the hard part of the case falling off easily or likely on impact)
-Thickness leading to lack of efficiency (no more pocketing, bricklike, etc)
-Magical Lint magnets (need I say more?_
Give me your thoughts and opinions if you'd like, or make a "case" for a case.
Thanks in advance!

I'm going to go ahead and make my 1st post. This is a good thread. I think you have a general idea of the best case for the Amaze already. You want to make a smart purchase, and not buy something only to find out next week what you really wanted is just posted. My advice would be make the best decision based on the facts you have already stated; keep us up to date, let us know the pros and cons. Then if anyone else makes a thread like this we can always link them to this post. As it is already quite informative

I have a Trident Aegis case for my Amaze and let me say, it kicks ass. The screen protector that comes with it really blows but I just put on a Invisible Shield instead. Even though the case isn't the most protective one that Trident produces, my phone feels really secure in it. Its not much of a lint magnet, but it attracts cat hair like none other lol It has covers for the charge port and headphone jack. The only problem is that if you don't have any finger nails, the charge port cover is hard as hell to get out. It fits in a pocket decently as long as you're not wearing tight ass jeans. I feel like my phone is rather protected and I'm rather impressed with it. I highly recommend it.
I got mine from eBay (shipped from California) and it is cheap and good quality. The case case and screen protectors (a few of them) are just a few bucks.
Just my opinion but I hope it helps.
I gut the Trident kracken in rd d silicone.. silicone kicks ass the hard plastic fits good..
no lint problems.
Needed to drill the ambient light and noise holes myself for a big improvement...
Also the belt clip thing is good but I don't like it over the screen face...if it breaks that will be some nasty jagged plastic directly jamming into my touch screen..
I am very confident my phone will be safe in this case on my construction job sites
I wish it had a hinged door like screen cover...I had that years ago on a compaq PDA... Worked great as a stand too

I think otterbox for the amaze will not be made or they are planning to due to the fact that the amaze is not a all rounded carrier phones, i think Telus and T-Mobile only carry them as for now and rumor has that the Amaze 4g from T-Mobile will be pulled out because it is not selling well on T-Mobile Everyone get's the GS2 because of the bigger screen.. And as i ask one of the sales rep's in T-Mobile they will be releasing a Samsung Galaxy Note Next Year.. hope it's true or she is not shtn me...
honestly i woldnt even think about buying the kraken since it has clips and would brake whenever you drop it. i would really recommend you to get the aegis trident case since in my opinion is more solid than the kraken.
trident kraken
Ive had the trident aegis and the ballistic sg series and the trident kraken. The trident kraken is the best one I've found so far....as far as a case that protects everything...that's easy they don't exist lol. The kraken has dust covers and a nice fit and a belt clip..but the screen protector sucks..no protection for the camera...the dust plugs are a pain to get out...and the belt clip protects nothing when attached (but the back does face out) it covers about one sixth of the phone and is a pain to get on and off.....but i think its the best option as I think t Mobile pissed someone off or something bc no one is making a supremely awesome case for the amaze.. I've looked for sometime now...

So did you not like the Ballistic? I think that it would have great protection and not make the phone as bulky as the Kraken. And it already has the holes cut around the camera.
Getting the ballistic case should arrive next week. Will post back when I get it.
Initial impressions are that it looks like it can survive a fall and has all the ports covered and looks nice. Also it has the 3 holes cut out from the back around the camera that the trident doesn't have. Doesn't seem too bulky either.
Hi there,
Im looking for thin case.
Best I have found is this case on ebay
Design is not bad, but its not covering glass area around the camera.
Questions:
1. Is there any thin case(plastic, rubber) that covers that?
2. Anyone tried skins? Will they remove easily(considering phone is jeans pocket)?
3. Those who are using various rubber, gel, hybrid and so on cases, how much fatter is your phone with them? If its not that much fatter suggestions on good cases then

I have tried them all, best case is either the capdase brand or official HTC TPU case. They both let your phone slide into your pocket easy, don't bulk out your phone, look great and offer good protection.
The Ebay jobs are just cheap rubbish you get fed up with after a week or 2.

Look up the Kraken AMS. That is a reasonable case.
Alternatively just look for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HAR...sesPouches&hash=item3a6a2fac16#ht_1887wt_1396
Best thing about this type of case is it doesn't add too much bulk, and is easy to get in and out of your pocket (unlike a silicone/rubber case). And it will actually protect your phone in a drop unlike that case you linked to in your original post. As for your screen... only BIG cases include a plastic layer to completely cover the glass.
Are you just looking for something with raised edges, and then use a screen protector perhaps? (Like the ebay one I showed you).
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Superle...1HVI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1333169597&sr=8-9
this has been the best case for me so far, its very thin, and has a rubber skin with a hard plastic shell..the kraken, and defender are way to big for me. this case is just the right size its about the same size as a tpu case.

My case looks exactly the same and it was £3 from amazon.
IMO the thinnest cases are the back cases ones that doesnt really cover the top and bottom bezel...just the sides and back. BUT if you really want to protect your phone and not get it scratched up over time, you are better off using a TPU type case as the are not too thick and are of softer material and will not rub off any of the black anodized paint. Unlike any hard cases, whether its back only or 2 pieces. Also TPU cases are more absorbent during accidental drop on hard surfaces.
I was running seidio 2pc case hard case w/kick stand with my first 3d and although it had felt inside it eventually rubbed off the pain on the top corners of my phone. The felt inside was very thin and the case is not skin tight so it would move some and the slight movement of the case over time eventually sandpapered some of the paint off. TPU or rubber type cases are more skin tight and is not as abrasive as plastic on painted metal and will not damage the paint so long as you also clean it off from time to time. Some dirt can eventually get in between and the dirt will act as sandpaper. So just consider this when you're buying a case as some of you would probably like to sell your phone later down the road or just want to keep it looking new for a long time.

Those thin cases are the exact same thing as the case mate barely there cases. Much cheaper. I got the rock brand and like it a lot. You do lose that boot of protection at top and bottom though.
Some people have complained that these type of cases are a bit loose on the sides. Easy fix is to lightly squeeze the sides inwards... tight fit!

Been looking for a sturdy case for my LGOG and I found the commuter case on the Otterbox website but no idea when it will be available. What is the opinion about the case? Anyone have a better solution?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I have been waiting for this case to be released before I buy this phone. I'm afraid of dropping it and shattering the glass.
First thing I should mention is that I'm not sure this case will fit the AT&T variant. There are different variants of this phone with slightly different dimensions so it's worth checking. Also, this case will cover the LED notification ring around the power connector. I have raised this issue with the manufacturer but I doubt they will do anything about it. I suggested using a clear silicone around the power button but I will probably just poke a few holes around the power button of the silicone case if I really feel like I need to see the notification LED. If you inquire about whether or not it will work with the AT&T variant I would be interested to hear their response.
Best of luck!
Honestly, I'll be happy if it fits the AT&T version. That seems to be the odd man out when it comes to cases.
That seems to be the main issue, the fit. I've had an HTC Aria for three years before I upgraded to this mini tablet monstrosity, I have an irrational fear of dropping it and it's a bit awkward trying to use it one handed. I almost considered buying the ridiculously expensive AT&T plastic frame. My primary concern is this massive screen will be its Achilles. Anyone have a a close call with it yet? I mean I have dropped it from about three feet on to carpet but I'd like to hear about real life drop tests. Also I know the screen is hard to scratch but what about the back? Would a frame type case serve to protect the screen and back better? Pros and cons to a screen protector or privacy shield? It seems like an exotic phone or something with the locked bootloader I guess it's not the most popular amongst the devs. Any and all input and thoughts are openly appreciated.

Dropped mine from about 2 feet up off the bed onto a hardwood floor. Landed on the backside. No visible damage under a bright light. I don't use any case or protector.
I hope the commuter comes out soon. I'm tired of worrying about dropping this beauty. This phone is a little slippery. I haven't peeled off the back film yet either, maybe I never will. I'll be pretty disappointed if the one coming out is the sprint version only. Hopefully they're making both versions right now. I really wish all variants were the same like the gs3. Then we could get all accessories without issues. Unfortunately, at&t is the odd man out.

Add another on the wait list. I love the feel of this phone but it is a bit slick.
So far the Belkin saved my phone from a 3 foot drop on pavement with just a few nicks in the case.

I gave up and bought then Body Glove case since there's nothing else out there I've seen yet for it that's good. I ordered a cheap TPU case off of EBay, but that didn't quite fit so I wasted $4. And, since both Seidio and Trident case have responded to my email inquiries that they haven't any plans to make cases for the ATT OG, I'm more than a little bummed that I may not find anything better if the Otterbox doesn't fit my new toy.

Yeah it sux. If only lg made the same variant for all the carriers. But no, at&t has to be different. I'd like to think it's different because of the micro sd slot. But it's hard for me to believe they couldn't pull it off with the same dimensions. I actually like the sprint model better since its a little skinnier and easier to hold. But regardless, I love this phone. Lets just hope otterbox comes through.

I talked to customer service today about which version they're coming out with. The girl didn't even know that the dimensions were different between att and sprint. She couldn't tell me if they're making both versions. She just said sign up for the email notification. Oh well, I got my fingers crossed.

The body glove case that came out for it is pretty nice. I've only found it in at&t stores though.

Yeah I saw the bodyglove case at the att store but I don't like the colors. I like the gray outer case but the inner silicone case colors are ugly to me. Orange, purple, blue, pink, but no black. Wtf. Gray with black silicone is perfect IMO. But that's just my taste.

I have tried emailing Otterbox customer service and got no response back. I called customer service and they told me that they could not tell me what phones this case would support until it was released. Sadly, I think it's time for me to select a new case Anyone have any suggestions of similar cases? I see the Ventev and Amzer cases but they are kind of ugly.

Yes, I have been checking that. Specifically, I'm looking for a dual layer case with a soft silicone inner shell and a hard silicone outer shell. Otterbox and Casemate are the only companies I know of that do this. Casemate doesn't have an LGOG case and Otterbox is uncertain whether or not they will fit the AT&T variant.

Check out the Amzer and geocase. Although I personally don't like them. They are tpu with a hard outer shell.

Thanks, but I think that the Amzer and Ventev Geocases are ugly. Guess I'll have to wait for Otterbox or lower my standards

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they are ugly. I have had the same TPU smoke case on 2 phones (same case, different versions). I was so glad to see it for the LGOG. It should come 2mro. If it fits ill update my thread. Based on the other 2 cases, I would highly recommend it. My fingers are crossed big time.
