So I was at my local gas station that also sells phones and accessories. I was looking at their EVO section when I spotted this? I asked to see it and noticed that it said EVO 3D R on it. hmmm, $3.99 cents later I have it in my hands. It appears that the evo 3D is thinner, taller but not as wide.
I compared it side by side with my EVO 4G in a case the same thickness. The evo 4g without a case is about the same thickness as the evo 3d case!

If thats really the case how is it a 4.3 inch screen. It must be like the droid x. I have a evo 4g and a friend at work has a droidx and his screen was longer length wize but mine was width wize. I hope not cause i like the size and the screen on the 4g. Just have to wait for it to come out and see.
hmmm, i actually like the taller design of the EVO 3d. The 4G always felt to wide for me.
I think the taller phone can be better for using it in your hands, and using portrait apps, but for video and web browsing, the older form factor is better, so I'm ticked off and happy for different reasons.
The reason it is taller is because QHD is 16:9 aspect ratio, I'm pretty sure the evo was 16:10 or 5:3.
So it should be better for vids because it will play in the natural aspect ratio.

What's the feel of TPU? Slick or grippy?
Have you ever used an Incipio feather? Is it the same kind of feeling?

Getting one of those 3M vinyl sticker skins for my evo 3d (i had a voucher so i thought make use of it). they won't offer much protection but hey ho thats what insurance is for. I've made my own design up, just having a hard time finding a company that does the skin template i want cuz alot of them skip the sides or the front etc etc....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27455537&postcount=14
here's my evo 3D finally done (sort of)
Those are pretty nice.
Exactly what Im using on my Evo 3D I love it, still can use a TPU case if i want and even with this decal on I can still use my dock and my phone has at least minimal protection... here is a stock photo

i'm guessing that's from wrappz.....i asked them if they would alter the template to include some changes and they said to me to cough up £30 + the cost of the skin I would buy. The changes were to cover the parts of the camera hub and also the side bezel of the screen. The side bezels of the screen they've done it on desire HD but not on evo 3D even though its the same dimensions so i don't get why they did that
Yeah its from Wrappz, thats odd!
I have a clear plastic case anyhow so most of the phone is protected
Need to keep my little baby safe lol
i got insurance so i don't bother....i've made my own template at the moment, the trouble is printing it out on what's called contact paper because apparently it takes a day to dry and has issues with printing ....not too sure on that one
sneak peak of my new design =D
its done (sort of)
Ordered it from someone but it has a bit of a fitting issue, messaged him so he can fix it and send me out a replacement.....still did the best I could so voila
Changed the design because I wasn't happy with it.
^ super sexy . Who did it ?

No idea. Maybe it somehow puts your screen to sleep if you close the cover?
idk, i have one that's almost identical, different brand though..a red one..i got it for 20, but i wish i had this type because mine's not as stiff, so it kinda falls back when i have it standing up. my boss has one that looks more like this, and his is more stiff so it stands up better.
either way, it ships from china, so it takes like 2 weeks to get apparently lol
"Standard (18-26 business days)"
two day shippiung is 44 dollars hahaha and expedited is the same.
the only problem of this type case is it doesn't protect the pen. Better to find a case with pen holder inside the case. My pen is broken with this case.

You put a Flyer in this case in your pocket? You must have some big pockets. This is a large case. Very good for utility but not for someone who wants to jam it into a pocket. There honestly is no case which will also hold the pen that will fit in a normal sized pocket.

I will never use the kickstand so I am looking for a case that covers the back. One that is smooth and thin.
I'm sure I'll never use the kickstand either, but I still like the look of it and I like the fact that most cases don't cover it.
Can't you get the One X case. That phone doesn't have a kickstand

The Evo and One X are different sizes, as well as completely different in appearance.
I just ordered the Ventev Edge holster and case combo thru amazon.

I have this case it is real nice for the price. I'd say every bit as good as the seidio active, although the holster doesn't seem as well designed. Just got it today so we'll see how the quality is as time goes on. I'll be switching between this and the defender while at work because I'm a mechanic and my phone can see some pretty severe conditions.

I resemble that remark completely. It's like we're connected in some way. Now we're not. Yes we are.
I'm thinking about using full body skins instead of a case. Is anyone else protecting the phone this way? How is it working for you?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I would like to know as well. I did that on original EVO, and it worked well. I can't believe how many times I dropped the EVO on hard surfaces and had it be totally fine. The LTE feels more delicate. But I really don't want to add any additional size, I already wish it was about an inch shorter.
I'm using the full body Zagg. But the HD screen protector. The screen protector is about to be replaced with a steinheil.
I also ordered a skinomi, but zagg ended up being the first available. So I should have the skinomi as well in another day or two and I can compare the two. Generally speaking the skinomi is less rubbery, and leaves less finger prints then the zagg.
All in all, I like skins as they dont detract from the look of the device, and they don't add bulk. I don't typically drop my phones so I don't worry about that.
The only downside to the skin would be the smudges and fingerprints. Instead of making the glossy plastic part matte like some people would like to do, the whole back becomes glossy. but knowing the skin can be removed a year later and it will look brand new is totally worth it.

I purchased the skinomi full body as well and planned to use that with the zagg hd screen protector. My zagg has some indentations /scratches that have not self- healed after two days. I wonder if the skinomi will be better and does the hd really matter? I also considered a carbon fiber skin, but I don't want to change the look of the phone, and but yes, fingerprints...

I got the Skinomi brushed steel full skin. When it comes in and I get it on I will post some pics. This phone is huge and I dont want an even bigger case for it.
I am using the XO Skin. It works great. The phone feels so slim with it.
It will not provide much drop protection though.

I just ordered a matte-finish black skin from decalrus.com, waiting to see how that works out. (I used the zagg black leatherskin on my old Evo, this one couldn't really carry that off, even if it was available.)

I don't know about this specific device, but i have used one for my other device. I bought it because I want to keep the sleek look of the phone. It protects from scratches, but it doesn't protect much from being broken.
Just received this from amazon uk £6 and very impressed fits perfectly unlike IMO the ringke slim great protection all round quick video here
I got the similar one, but £12 - its got a rugged feel, adds a bit of weight (in a good way) - it has a feeling of almost granite in the hands. It will do nicely for general use until I get or need a expanded battery case.

Yea I've ordered both.. Got the clear back one which was a bit more plus postage so it cost me around £12. Il return one but still gonna lose out on postage. But i like the look of the supcase more.. wasn't a fan of the one big cut out for camera and flash I preferred 3 separate cut outs but having seen your video I think it actually looks really nice like that.
