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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141005

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.

I'm definitely gonna buy a new back cover - http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-mb860-atrix-blue-silicone-case-p-11666.html and most probably also the seido case - http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3MT..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1317897936&sr=1-5
just a couple of more questions:
Will the seido case work with the docking station?
Which screen protector should i get as well?
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.
Sad times.

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
Let me start off with I am an absolute case whore, I have owned just about every TPU case (as well as 3 other style cases) out there and have been fairly happy with most of them. Although it is expensive for TPU (19.99), I have always kept my eye on the incipio NGP case since it actually looked like a very well made case. Well, to keep myself happy with the Evo 3D so as to avoid buying a newer phone, I finally splurged on the incipio and I must say, it is by far worth every penny. First things first, the surface feels much better than regular TPU. It feels more like the stock feel of the phone which is awesome. It also does not attract any dust/dirt/fingerprints it seems at all. I also really like the matte black (it also comes in magenta) instead of the shiny black usually used in other TPU cases. The best feature, in my opinion, has to be the buttons. As opposed to other cases, you can actually feel where the button is and to top it off, they are easier to press down since it seems the material is thinner around the button. All of this stacks up to make it the BY FAR best TPU case and maybe even the BEST case out there for the Evo 3D. I can post some pix if anyone is interested but I think you may as well just check out this guy's youtube video of it on the phone. The only thing I MIGHT regret is not getting the magenta version just to spice things up.

+1 i got the incipio ngp as well and think it is better than the tpu cases. I also agree about the power and volume buttons. The feel and press much better than the tpu cases. This is now many cases of choice.i was able to get mine from the Amazon warehouse deals... essentially new but it was in like New condition. When I got it, it was in original cases and looked brand new to me. I think it came out to be $15.

Looking for a quality leather belt clip/holster for my 4G LTE and not finding much.
This is what I had for my Evo and 3vo
http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-messenger-side-case-with-belt-clip.html
Looking for the same thing for my Evo LTE.
Found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Horizontal-Le...7I/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1338874338&sr=8-15
and not much else.
Do any of you know of something similar that isn't a cheap $12 POS?
I also found this and it's right up my alley.
http://www.spigen.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-crumena-leather-pouch-series.html
but no belt clip.
I got something like that from walmart. It's in their electronics/cell phone accessory section. It's textile, not leather, but has a similar clip on the back. Uses velcro not magnets to hold the front closed (somewhere I read that magnets can be damaging to the digitizers????). For $10, I can't complain. Phone still fits even with the tpu cover on.
If you got no cover, verizon has a nice leather case that fits also, and is leather. $20
Thanks for the reply - I'm looking for something a bit nicer than textiles. I'd really prefer leather.
Any idea what phone the verizon case is for?
I too have been looking for a good leather belt case, but have found none.
Have you found one yet?

Still looking. I have a local contact who works exclusively in leather. I've asked him to see how much it would be to make a case like the HTC one I already have, with the higher quality of the Spigen one.
I'm still looking. Anyone find one that fits yet?

They day I got my phone in the mail I went to best buy since I knew sprint didn't have a leather case yet. Found this, it's by rocketfish. Best holster I ever had, and I only use holster's with all my phones. I don't like hard cases. The magnets are strong, it feels great, soft inside, the clip is very strong so it won't come off your belt, and the best part is there is a hole in the bottom you can use a finger to push the phone out with so you can get it out of the holster easier. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Rocketf...Id=5070815&st=rocketfish phone case&cp=1&lp=3
I got the one for the evo 3d for my LTE and it fits little snug but it works only thing I could find. I might need to get the last one a bit expensive but it is what I wanted just like my old blackberry pearl case.

I also bought this case. I highly recommend it if you want a horizontal holster
Edit: I decided that I wasn't gonna run this phone naked, so I exchanged the holster for the Platinum Series case and holster. Forgot to check and see if the Platinum case fit in the leather holster. If someone doesn't try it before Sunday, I will, and post results. I really liked the leather holster

That appears to be one of the better leather cases I've seen to date.
I'll check it out tomorrow at my local Best Buy.

Hello Everyone,
Hopefully Noreve will come out with one soon. They have one for the One X

Definitely headed to Best Buy tomorrow. That's just what I was looking for and not finding. Looks about like the old HTC leather case I had and still used with my 3D.
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to get a custom leather case from easecase. They've been around on ebay for a long time and I've seen reviews going back to the fuze praising their cases.
Did you ever get your easecase case? How is it?

I'll be looking into easecase as well. They made a nice one for my OG EVO to my specs (I wanted it to fit a cased device).
Not cheap, but they do good stuff.
SPE Leather Cases are the best. Period.
I've been using them since the OG Evo.
I'm waiting for them to release the case for the EVO LTE.

I recently got my TF300T and I'm looking for a hardshell case, as most of the ones I've come across are sleeves, huge rubber cases. I have found some "full" cases but they are made of leather. Any recommended cases? I will more than likely always have the dock on but it should have an easy release method if I need just the tablet.
Have you looked on Ebay or Amazon?
I'm gonna start looking for an actual hard case to carry mine in. I've been sliding it the laptop compartment of my backpack but I'm worried the screen is gonna get cracked. Matter of fact, I'm gonna go look at Ebay and Amazon right now.
