I want one like this for my Evo 3D when i get it but dont know where to even look. this would allow you to use the kick stand on either side or even vertical. I have seen this in person and it is a very nice case but has no marking what so ever to whom makes it.

this is pretty similar i think ......
Kind of. They key in the case i linked is the kickstand is built into the case but in a way so it will work on either side or even upright. It is a very thick stand to so on either side it is very stable. this is on a htc incredible 2 though.

sorry
I didnt see the kickstand ..... i just thought you wanted one with really good protection ...... i can bet alot of cases with kickstands are coming but probably not right away
As an FYI, HTC has already given some information about concerns with removing the kickstand from the 3D. They will be releasing an official HTC-branded case with a built-in kickstand.
See Here: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/03/htc-evo-3d-to-get-case-with-kickstand-shortly-after-launch.html
Ballistic HC page is up, enter your email for updates. It looks like the case has more protection for the camera area than the SG.
The optional outer layer looks different from the Evo 4G. It appears to have both camera and kickstand available with the outer layer.

looks good
whats the ETA to availbility?
although i think seido's rugged cases they made for the EVO are the toughest
doesnt look bad for a tough case, are they typically better quality than otterbox?
They are tough... you should watch the video on their home page

I know the original Evo 4G Otterbox Defender case was not made at the same factory as the iPhone cases. Thus, there was a seriously lower level of quality. However, regardless of variables, I have found Ballistic cases to be far sturdier than Otterbox. The top of the line Otterbox Defender can barely be compared to the Ballistic mid-level SG offering.
The advantage of Ballistic is that the outer layer is optional. When you strip off the outer layer, you have a case of similar size to the Otterbox Defender and it's still far superior to the Otterbox.
Just so you know I don't work for Ballistic, I will say that I am considering a Trident Kraken this go round also. And in reality, I will take whichever I can get my hands on first.
I think I might have to get one of these...
With me being in the military and about to deploy, I want this case. Too bad is out of stock...
That thing is built like a tank

I hate Zagg, that's what I've used for the past year, it took quite a while to lose the gripped feel.
I just caved in and bought the Otterbox Defender, it should hold me over until Ballistic or Trident put something nicer out. I'm not an Otterbox fan, but the alternative was the Seidio Rugged which didn't last long on my Evo 4G.
Otterbox don't have jack on this one. Will definitely be getting it.

There are other wet screen protector options that offer just as much protection without the orange peel and grippiness. I don't know what's available for the 3D though...
True, but I personally used my dental grinder at work on the zagg to confirm its claim. So ever since then, I haven't had the urge to try anything else. I'm a creature of habit.

Be careful with that. They (Sprint) charge $4.99 per minute if you're going to Iraq, and $5.99 per minute for Afghanistan. Be sure to turn every sync feature off, and just use WiFi (if you have a signal near you) on your phone if you plan on bringing it.

This looks like a nice case, but how much bulk is it going to add? That thing looks like a monster. The Seidio Active is only 2.2mm, and still that is going to be quite a bit, I don't think I could deal with much more than that.

Yeah, you're on the wrong thread. This thread is for people that want the toughest, roughest, biggest and baddest case around.
This is more of a philosophical question and I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinions on this.
I've always rocked my gadgets without a case. I absolutely hated the thought of adding a stupid ugly case and covering up the sexy curves of my new phone...
But for some reason, I went ahead and ordered a ballistic case for my evo3d. I don't know why i felt like it was a good idea...is this the sign of adulthood? Could it be that I am just lamer than my younger care-free self? Why protect something I'll be replacing in a year or two at most. Tell me XDA, why do you embrace this modern day burqa for your gadget?
I never have used them either. This is my first phone I bought one for. I just bought a cheap 3$ eBay cover. It is great so far. I rooted this weekend hand had to pull the battery a few times. I still haven't put the case back on yet. I found I missed the thiness of the phone. I can't decide wether I am putting it back on yet

It depends on your personal taste and how you handle your phone. If you like the textured back and you're careful with your phone, then I would suggest you don't use a case. However, if you are worried about dropping your phone and don't mind a little extra thickness, then you should use the case.
All in all, it comes down to your personal taste. Try it with a case for a while and without it for a while and see what fits your use best

Exactly what this guy said. I love the textured back and would hate any added thickness. (I've tried using bigger batteries on my OG Evo, hated them) I am also extremely careful with my phone and have insurance in case I accidentally drop and break it. That is why I never use a case.
If you don't care about aesthetics, feels, etc. and aren't too careful with your phone, you should definitely get a case.

Yea I would never get an extended battery. I find that it adds wayyyy too much extra thickness. I personally loved how the 3d felt (textured) in my hands but I don't have insurance and against my better judgement, I bought a case from seidio. It has a very nice soft feel but I miss the textured feel.

Seeing from this, If I were you, I would ditch the case.
Hated cases in the past, wouldn't rock them very long or often, but copped a sweet "White Rubberized Hard Phone Cover for HTC EVO 3D Protector Case" off Amazon for under $2 dollars, and its grip and quality are great. It snaps together too, completely encasing the 3VO, and also adding that extra buffer to protect the camera lenses and glass (feels way better holding too w/out cams protruding.) Won't be sporting a naked phone again

Hey guys,
So here's the deal, I've been waiting and waiting for Otterbox to release a case for the Amaze and I've been disappointed up to this point. Today I went to their website to again browse the HTC devices with Otterbox cases and was astounded at the fact that both the Vivid and the Rhyme have Otterbox cases now...they pretty much just came out, especially the Vivid (this past weekend). Even more frustrating, it seems like every HTC device *besides* the Amaze is supported. I e-mailed them regarding availability, but we'll see if I get a useful answer. Anyone else have any other ideas regarding other cases I can look at getting outside of Otterbox of similar quality? Thanks...
The Samsung Vibrant took about 2 months. It depends on its specifications and how many are to be sold as to how quickly the box is made. If the dimensions are the same or similar to other models it can be farely quickly. Also if its a wider spread device (global rather then just regional) it will be quicker too. Be patient, im sure it will come.
Thanks for the response. I got an answer from Otterbox themselves that said there is nothing in the works as of right now, but I'm sure you're right, it'll just take time.

Yes in fact I Emailed Trident about a case and they said they will make one available later this month while otterbox said they did not have any plans on making one as of right now and if they were they still couldnt comment on how long it would take till they released it.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for your email. At this time we have not confirmed if we will be making a case for that device. OtterBox.com will be updated with case options if and when they become available. Sorry for any inconvenience!
I also have an online survey that you can fill out and offer your suggestions:

Yes we should have cases for that later this month. Thanks!
Simple and enough said from Tridentcase I think so
You guys should write into Seidio. I think they are the best cases hands down. I always get 2 for every phone I have.
They said nothing is finalized. I know it's off topic, but for those interestd.

If you look under the trident aegis case thread a few people ordered the both types of trident cases. Someone said they will get the kraken one tomorrow and post pictures. There are pictures of the aegis case next to the d30 and Incipio case.
I sent OtterBox an email this week and this was the response on 01/11/2012:
Unfortunately, we do not have any plans in the works for this particular case. That is not always to say for sure that we will not make it. They best was to find information is to go to our website www.otterbox.com and there will be the most up to date information. If we indicate that we will make a particular case/color then we will put that information on our website and you will be able to sign up for e-mail notifications. Sorry for any inconvience this may have caused you. We hope that you will continue to buy from us in the future. If you have any other questions let me know if I am able to further assist you.

OK, I'm not a fan. Its an OtterBox knockoff without the hard plastic case. But $9.00, you have nothing to loose!
Isn't it more like this one?
http://www.amazon.com/Technocel-Hol...QO/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1326241379&sr=8-12
For the price I'd go with Technocel over ebay's version. I actually have it and it's quite nice.
Believe it or not they are the SAME EXACT item. Technocel asks a manufacturer in China to make it, then they make it for Technocel, then sell some on eBay themselves. I ran into the same situation with the following:
this Amazon case
and
this eBay case
SAME THING!
I got it on eBay for $2.95 + free shipping.
BoxWave was going to sell it for $19.95 and a shipping charge. I bought it from eBay, while BoxWave was having a pre-sale. (It would be shipped when ready.) People actually paid $19.95 for it.
I emailed the company and told them and their response was "I'm glad you found a similar case."
I sent them the links, and they replied "It is the same, because of this, we will lower our price to $9.95", and they did, but I got the case before it came out in the US directly from the manufacturer at a cheaper price.

The issue I see with this case as well as the Technocel one is the fact neither provide much screen protection in the sense that if your Motorola Photon 4G falls either face down or bounces on the ground and ends up face down, your LCD more than likely will shatter. If I'm not sporting the Otterbox Defender Series case for mine, I'll carry my Motorola Photon 4G in a Trident Aegis Series one. True, the Aegis Series cases don't have a holster clip like the one you reference or the Technocel case/holster combo Mongofrye, but I find the Aegis case by itself is thin enough for keeping in my pocket.

At the same time, both cases provide a lip that protect the screen. At the same time, you have a Gorilla Glass Screen. Now, I love Trident, and I would have a Trident case for my Photon but I could not stand not having a landscape holster. So, that is the only reason why I choose the Defender...
Trident does have wonderful cases though!
Go for the Trident Aegis if you don't mind being without a holster, guys! Great Case!.

i saw this one on amazon and figured it is like the one they sell at the sprint store. I like it because (minus the holster) it is very low profile.
I honestly like very basic protection. i hate adding tons of bulk to my phone. The one on Ebay looks different in the fact that it has a soft inside on the holster and the clip swivels in order to act like a stand. Could be used at a desk and you could flip it around to allow charging while in landscape mode.
Either way, i looked a little deeper into amazon and found i think the same one as the one you posted above for only $2.99 + .99 shipping. I went ahead and ordered it. I'll report back on quality.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L8APYQ/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details
In my opinion, the TPU cases provide probably the best protection with the least amount of bulk, but i just can't stand that there aren't cutouts over the volume and camera buttons. Such a pain. If anyone can find me one, i'll jump on it.
This is just another instance where the case is the EXACT same as the Technocel case listed above, and for this reason, I'm gonna go ahead and order it. Savingsss, oh, how I love savings!
