Similar to my other thread, what about the case, do you guys found any good case that you are going to use with the Shift?
New Case available
I have just found out that there is a new case for Htc Shift, a well known leather company, the down side for me is i am actually looking for a case that will flip open so the Shift stay inside the case all time. here is the link: http://www.pielframa.net/htc_shift.asp
A new case here : http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=yJp5pS7Ou3I
Since when do you have a shift Mr McDoPDA?
I like the one that comes with it

I second that :-D
Although a case in a different (more personalized) colour would be nice.
Where can I buy the case that McDoPDA just showed?
It looks quite nice although I personally prefer not to keep additional SIM cards in the same case (in case of theft etc.)

I don't care for the hanging style case with colored stripes in the video, but the other case.....
The HTC SHIFT Horizontal Leather case is more of what I am looking for.
It looks like site is not for retail purchasing

great! the HTC SHIFT Horizontal Leather case (first link) is what i am looking for, now my shift can stay in the case all time without me taking it out to use it.

I have e-mail them ans ask whether we can get the case individually, if that's not possible, depends on how many people here want that case, I can negotiate a wholesale deal and sell it back to you all. Now just need to wait for their reply first.
Count me in for one.
I am not too sure whether an enclosed case is a good idea. My shift gets quite hot and has crashed before now due to everheating. I wonder whether thats the reason it is designed to be removed from the pouch. I have used either an Orbit or a laptop for a few years and I am a bit self conscious about the standard case that comes with the shift as it looks a little bit like a ladies purse. Maybe, I need to get a bit more in touch with my feminine side.

LOL I was thinking the same thing about the pouch case. To me also it looks to much like a ladies purse or in my case "a man's bag"
That is the main reason I am looking for replacement not because the orginal case is not good quality it is but because it reminds me of a womans hand bag.
Hi I would be interested in the horizontal one, for the right price?
HTC SHIFT Horizontal Leather case
Hi ALL, I have contacted them and got the reply, they can't sell it to individual, so the only solution is wholesale, minimun order is 50 unit, each will cost 35 pounds without shipping. If there are enough people who want this case, i can arrange the wholesales, otherwise i guess we will just have to wait....
so drop your e-mail down if you wish to buy one and we will see
Hi!
I'll be interested but to tell you the truth I would also consider a case that can take the charger and usb hub as well.....
anything out there?
I'd like that case as well.
New Proporta Case for Shift
Hi all, just want to inform you that Proporta is now offering a new case for Shift, it's flip style so i have place my order on it already, will report back after i get it, here is the link:

The SG looks like it will be made for the 3D. I would prefer the HC, but I'll take whichever comes out first. It's honestly seldom that I actually use the optional outer layer or holster with my current HC.
I would guess that this mid-level Ballistic case provides at least equal protection to anything provided by Otterbox or Trident.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/htc-evo-3d-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
I'm actually very curious as to why the HC isn't listed on the coming soon page.
looks good but damn they forgot to add the kick stand SMH

That's what a lot of people say about the phone without the case.
However, it is useful to a lot of people with jobs like construction, mechanics, etc. that need something tough.
Also for people who are very active and outdoorsy(i.e. mountain biking, krav maga)
Very Nice.

Both cases:
http://www.goballisticcase.com/collections/htc-evo-3d-cases
I had a otter box for my OG Evo.
I was not really impressed with the overall quality of the product and I often found it hard to to hit the corners in it. I want to get a S case because I have to bike home from my job and I often have to change songs, to do that i take out my phone. At the time I have to stop, because I am afraid I might drop my 3VO >_<
Just got a email from the company saying they have the SG case in stock.
Use the promo code BALLISTIC3DSG to get 10% off.
I am hoping there are some people here who know about what brands/sites are good ones or trustworthy.
Ok, picking up my Evo 3D on Friday..... and surprise surprise, the phone isn't even out yet, yet there are a million different places with brands nobody has ever heard of with supposed cases for this phone, some of them even having dimensions smaller than the phone itself despite being listed as for the 3D.... (Yes I know, no need to tell me many manufacturers will take existing stock and claim it works for the new device just to sell it).
So the thing is, I have no idea what cases might be designed specifically for the HTC Evo 3D, or even any respectable sites to buy such cases from.
But I am also sorta over-complicating the issue by not being sure if I should first over a back cover for the phone or not. See, I am not a fan of the way the camerapod sticks out, I was wondering if there were any GOOD cases that add enough bulk to essentially make the cameras level with the rest of the phone, even if this will add thickness.
Something like this, but I don't know if this really is an official HTC product or not, and if there aren't better ones (or if that is a trustworthy site):
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28040
And this brings me to my main concern. The main case I want to get is a belt-clip holster, not just a simple little clip that attaches the phone to your belt but basically a whole pouch to hold it, something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Horizontal-Leather-Magnetic-Closing/dp/B0051IGCAI
But on top of the problem I already mentioned of there being a million cases just simply calling themselves a HTC Evo 3D case... there is also the issue of how it will fit. Normally, I don't care if a case is a little too big for a phone since it will hold it anyway, but all of my previous phones didn't have sensitive parts like the camera sticking out so much before, if I were to get a case, id want one designed to hold the pushed-out camera in place too.... but that would only work if I decide not to get a case that ads bulk for the purpose of keeping the cameras flush with the back of the phone.... and if I do decide to go with a back-cover to add bulk, will those pouch-cases then even still hold the phone or will it then be too thick?
Sigh... I'm over-complicating things aren't I? So anyway, any ideas? Its a shame those back-covers that increase the size of the phone can't make use of that size, such as storing a slightly higher capacity battery or something.
That first one's badass. I wonder how much coverage you get on the front. I ordered two slide together ones (like the innocase surface, but a clone), and one super-silicone one. I like buying a bunch of different colored cases to shake things up every now and then.

This is the silicone one. Cheap and highly rated for other phones.

This is the snap together (innocase surface-esque) one. Might be sold out now.
where is the case with the kickstand?
I went yesterday to a sprint store and got me a otterbox commuter case. I love it. They had about 4 different kinds but none with a kickstand. They also had the car dock as well.
TPU case for me. Ordered a few weeks ago from ebay, $4 shipped.
picked up a chase from BB this morning belt clip

I got the case that Best Buy sells with a kick stand. It's 2-piece, kickstand, soft-touch, protects well. Very streamline. It costs too much ($40.00) but I had some reward points and ended up getting it for free. Love it!
Hmph, just terrific. To complicate matters, that hardshell case I posted isn't even available until July 13 apparently.... and nobody is showing that it looks like from the front...
I guess I should just at the minimum get a belt-clip pouch for now. Does anyone know of any good horizontal ones that were specifically designed for the Evo 3D instead of just general cases that roughly fit a phone of that shape?
That's the only Evo 4G feature I'm really missing. I used it quite a bit... kind of bummed they got rid of it.
Best Buy sells a case with a kickstand. Inexplicably pricey like all cell phone cases, but worth it if you miss the kickstand.

Many more much needed upgrades that have been added, easily account for the kick stand and they sell nifty cases with manly kickstands

My kickstand messed up and wouldn't stay closed, so no I do not miss it.
I miss mine. I never put my phone flat on its face or on its back in fear of messing up the screen or camera. I always used the kick stand. It was really nice watching Sprint TV, web tv, hulu, movies, and playing video games using the kickstand. Now I have to go buy some stupid clunky case.
+1 for missing the kickstand. Maybe someone will make an extended battery case with a kickstand in it.. I'd buy that with real money.
I thought I would miss it but I havent missed it at all.

yes i miss it. im waiting for the extended battery with case with the kickstand
oh and the one with the bigger geebees
I do, even though I never used it.
i miss it even though i didn't use it all that much. more of a show-off feature. i went into best buy today and looked at their piece of **** kickstand case. it is 35.00$ the actual kickstand is thin plastic. i will get an htc case with the big metal kickstand once i find a black one.
the one thing i am seeing though is when this phone is on it's kickstand the charging port is going to be sitting on the bottom. not a huge deal for me since i didn't use it for long periods of time, but a really big FAIL for htc. should have left the charging port at the bottom like the 4G
Never used it, to be honest.

i just got my evo 3d today, and i kinda miss my ol kickstand even though i never used it......
well maybe i am mistaken. according to this pic the charge port will be on top on the htc case. i could have swore the POS best buy case was opposite. i even pointed it out to the girl trying to sell me one and she said "oh your right" now i definately will be getting one

Apparently the microUSB port does HDMI-out. Look up "MHL port" on google. Special cable required, of course, and an HDTV not more than 2 years old "might" be completely MHL compatible too.
I miss mine and also the Micro USB port on the bottom.
I've come to realize how much I would use a kickstand on my Rezound. I've already placed a backorder for the HTC kickstand case from HTCpedia. I have searched the web for another retailer carrying this case, but cannot find it anywhere.
Anyone else happen to find this case? I'm hoping to be able to get this case sooner rather than later. :/
Bought a shell holster combo from GizmoReady on Amazon. Way better than the one Verizon sells. Fits regular battery. Check it out. And yes it has a kickstand.

I ordered this one, should have it Monday:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006BFP9QS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Not as slick as the one on htcpedia that runs $25 if that's the one you're talking about but looks the same as the other one they carry and also comes with a holster.
I figure this one is good for hiking when I won't have pockets or a purse since it has a holster and it looks rugged in case of a drop, and I wanted a kickstand for when I need it to watch something. But I'm not sure I'll leave it on at all times, I love the phone without a case and don't want to bulk it up.
Here's one for the extended battery:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-REZOUND-E..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1325996180&sr=1-2
got mine in the mail today from Amazon.com... Had great reviews and was very similar to the case that I had with my Galaxy Nexus. I wanted the one at VZW store, but it was for the large battery.. I can provide a link if you need it. It is almost EXACTLY as the one at VZW... Says it in the comments...

That's not the one originally brought up in the OP. That's the cheaper one, the "rubberized" one. I got one just like it off Amazon for $13 shipped (see link above) and I'm going to review it in a couple days. The one the OP brought up is the "hard shell" one.
I called HTCpedia and was told that HTC has problems with fulfillment and that this case would most likely not be in stock for about one more month. I canceled my order.

I just got one from Amazon today--$10 shipped--which appears to be exactly the same one shown on the wireless video. It is also very similar, only the pattern is different, as the one sold by Verizon, except this only fits the standard battery. I don't know about the "rubberized" statement, but this case/holster is definitely hard.
This case fits the phone very well, however, it only wraps the sides, not the top or bottom. It is easy to snap off and on. The phone does not wiggle inside the case like it does on the dual battery Verizon case. It also fits the holster very well and seems to be secure. It has the pull-out stand which works vertically and horizontally. It seems a little flimsy but we'll see how long it last.
It has all the necessary openings: lens, lights, headset, power, volume, rear speaker, and two holes on the back and one on the side that have to do with noise suppression on the phone--the holes are on the phone.
The holster clips works well on my belt and allows for rotation.
Bottom line: I like it. It is like the one I had on my Dinc for two years.
