So... I just accidentally discovered this AWESOME feature. On the otterbox belt clip, if you pull the actual clip out as far as it will go(opening it as if you have a REALLY thick belt), a little clip on top will latch the clip open acting as a kickstand. Works PERFECTLY for me!

NOW I need to get the otterbox the salesman was whining about this morning.... From amazon
Shot from my L96A1
I got my Otterbox Defender for free. The Sprint Store Manager was trying to sell accessories. The store was having a like accessories sale or something and then when my family and I were getting our phones he came over and offered 3 BT Headsets, and 3 cases for 43 dollars.
My parents aren't the sharpest when it comes to phones so I started haggling with the guy. Swapped out the three BTs for an otterbox and a screen protector and the manager gave it to us for free.

Ya I miss a hard case and holster the leather cases are nice but don't off much protection against the daily use I like keepin my baby clean and shiny
The holsters I speak of were all plastic or plastic/rubber with belt clips. Not the cheap leather cases I hate. They had the defender, and I think the other brand was platinum or something that looked very strong and similiar to the Otterbox cases. They also had the case with the kickstand thats been posted everywhere. I think they had 1 or 2 others as well. I was actually pretty amazed at all the cases they had.
Thanks! Would've never noticed that!

As the evo 3d is an old phone, I bought the otterbox defender for under £3 delivered but it adds too much bulk and weight, so i ordered the otterbox commuter under £3 again and it is much lighter the phone weighs 200g now, not certain what it weighed with the defender, I also got a 10 pack of screen protectors for £1.25 as i am crap at putting them on, or i just hate it when i get dust underneath, but i manged 1st time and it looks great, nice an slick to the touch.

Ive been reading all these different reviews about cases and i see so many people complaining that the otterbox defender is to bulky. This case is not made for everyone. If you dont have a job that involves alot of physical activity or dont do alot of day to day activities that can potentially lead to damaging the phone then dont pay $50 for something you dont need. Idk if people are buying it just because its the most expensive case and think most expensive is best or what. There are plenty other cases at sprint and bestbuy that will do just fine. Iam a huge ballistic fan but have to admit i think otterbox did an excellent job with the case for 2 reasons. It fits awesome while providing awesome protection and hey......it was available launch day. Theres alot of stores that sold out of the defender and theres alot of people who want the defended and now cant find it. So if you dont like the case....dont need the protection just take it back.

Everyone has there own opinion...you shouldn't let it upset you. If ur happy with it. That's all that matters...right? Really doesn't Warrant another otterbox thread...
Who cares about what other people think?Grow some balls!!!!!jkjkjk
I think the defender is great. I love mine and it isn't as big as people made it seem.
LOL seriously?
The case is bulky as hell... I bought one, I'm going to return it today. Don't get so upset over it, it's not like we slapped your wife or something/.
Im not sayin it effects me personally and trust me if someone slapped my wife wining on xda would be the last thing id do. Just makes no sense to me when people spend all the money on the case....9 out of 10 times the people at the store will snap it on for you and you see right there what it looks like so why take it home? Instead of bashing it all im saying is lets give otterbox some props. Im a diehard ballistic fan but am happy otterbox had a defender case for us on launch day. And i must admit this soft rubber on the defender feels alot better then ballistics hard plastic when holding the phone to your ear during a phone call

I love the defender case. Sure it adds some bulk, but I never really put it in my pocket. I keep it in the holster. I took a dremel and ground down the release clip so that it's not sticking out so much. It's great.
I just find it hilarious that morons buy the defender case and then say it's bulky. Why buy the most rugged mainstream case and expect it to be slim? It's really not even as big/tough as some smaller house cases like the Trident Kraken or Ballistic HC.
im loving mine! The fact that you can put the phone in the holster face in or out and the belt clip locks in the open position makes it double as a kickstand makes this a awsome case!
Yea i just like how this feels when talking on the phone. The ballistic would hurt my ear if i didnt have the rubber outer layer on.....the otterbox is super comftorable.

Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
it is bulky, never really bothered me, but also you can tell they could slim these things out some.
I picked up the commuter and I personally think it sucks, the rubber on the top of the phone isn't held in place for ****e.
I had the defender for the EVO 4G and i thought it sucked too, everytime I pulled it out of my pocket the rubber was coming off, constantly messing with it.
I had a defender case on my Iphone 3GS and Loved it, and had one on my blackberry curve and also loved it.
so /shrug seems to me they've gone downhill some, im sticking it out for the ballistic case.
but as you can see, the size isn't really my issue lol.
(appeared the evo 3d case has same issue that evo 4g case did from looking at it.)
I actually don't like bulky cases, and I was planning on going with the Seidio case as my EVO had one on it. I went into a best buy and they happened to have the Otterbox Defender, so I tried it out and I really like it. So I ended up picking it up (cost $54 but meh) and I think I'm going to roll with this for a while.
I did make a modification though... I took the built-in screen protector off. It felt like it had too much grip to it. I like my protectors to be smooth.

Word! I work as a stock manager at a warehouse, had the OBD on my old EVO and it saved it numerous times. Got it for the 3DVO and love the Look and feel of it. Plus, in case folks didn't know, the holster doubles as a dock station with a kickstand, and if you dont actually click the phone into the case, it amplifies the audio quite well by providing a sort of acoustical chamber. All in all, best 50 dollars I could've spent

When you take the rubber silicone outer layer off the ballistic the innercase is a hard plastic shell with the screen protector. Well when your holding the phone to your ear during a call it hurts. The otterbox soft rubber dosent

The thing is a horse but it seeks almost bomb proof. I love it but old wifey wasn't into it for hers ( unless they make a defender with flower prints on it...haha)
Screen protector is thick and smooth. It would be even better if it was anti glare. Coming from the Hero, this phone is already waaay bigger so WTH if I add a few centimeters with this defender. It's solid.
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?
I've had my first otterbox defender ever with this evo 3d and though I love the protection, I'm beyond annoyed with the rubber outer layer stretching so it doesn't fit right. I'm already on my second outer layer (they replaced it for me 2 or 3 weeks ago and its already out of shape).
Anything else someone recommends? I don't like the ballistic case btw, looks too bulky compared to otterbox.

no i plan on trying one out tho. i had one for the evo 4g, and never had problems with stretching.
I'd like to try the Kraken. If you get it, would you mind providing a little review?

Amazon has the Kraken for about $10 cheaper btw - just looked. but they only have a handful left... I hate when they do that, makes you feel like its now or never.

Thanks. I have been doing some research on the Kraken II too and getting more and more discouraged. I'll look at the Cyclops II and maybe Ballistic.
Otterbox offered to send me 2 replacements this time. I also asked why it is doing this and how I can prevent/minimize it but they ignored that part. I suppose I'll take the replacements, but I don't think I'm going to stick with Otterbox because of this issue. Just still don't know what else to get.

Thanks. which seidio? I'm eyeing the Active with kickstand. I think I did read they they were pretty easily warped by the camera button, but I might have that mistaken with case mate.
EDIT: Thanks for the help, I just went ahead and ordered a seidio.
heres a case that i recently purchased and absolutely love. not as protective at otterboxes or ballistic cases but it survived many nightmarish drops and came out just fine, not a nick or scratch on the case even.the kickstand design is very solid and its made of the same reinforced plastic polymer as otters and ballistic, and it incorporates a hard tpu skin. overall a futuristic design for a futuristic looking phone lol. also a great price

Still using the otterbox defender, never had a problem with the silicone stretching. Only thing i can see doing that is constantly taking the rubber off and on.
I don't remove the rubber layer at all. But I just showed my brother yesterday the problem and asked if he had that issue. He also has the e3d and otterbox defender. He doesn't at all. But we compared his outer layer to mine and his is thicker. I don't know why ours are different.

The "silicone" mixture can be different, that's why they ask for the vendor code when you get them to send you a new one, I would think its very easy to revise the ingrediants to make it fit better or worse, I think putting in my pocket and taking it out stretched out the sides and made it fit a lil lose compared to a new one, my replacement defender fit totally better than my first one, however the same problem did occur over time, again... So I'm with you in the hunt to find that perfect case,

Well, I'm liking this Seidio Active kickstand case I ordered so far. Doesn't feel quite as durable as otterbox, but enough protection for me. The silicone feel thinner and softer than my otterbox's too so we'll see. At least it's mostly the inner layer that's silicone with the outer hard plastic so maybe it will be ok.

Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Bumping this thread back up. I had the same problem with my Otterbox Commuter, where the silicon was stretching out too. They even sent me a replacement and the same thing still happened. I got the pink/white 'strength' version if it made a difference. I never took the silicon off that often and the phone is carried in my purse mostly. So I didn't understand how the silicon can stretch out like that.
Thinking of emailing them to let them know of the issue, but I don't really want any more phone cases from them. I ended up getting a Casemate slim case which I love. I also got the Casemate equiv of the Commuter and the silicon they use is much stiffer and fits a lot snugger.
OP you mentioned they offered you 2 replacements. Is it replacements for the same phone case? Or cases for other devices?
Order one in red and it came today....i must say i am very impressed with this...i had an otterbox on my evo4g and didn't like it...the kick stand wasn't as sturdy and after a while the rubber got loose(thats what she said lol)and the power button had to be fiddled with on the case to make it hit the actual button on the phone...this case by trident seems better with the reversed design(soft sleeve under the hard outer shell). and it looks great on the phone!!!!!

The size is similar, but I believe the Cyclops is slightly larger.
Trident advantages are mainly the ability to be able to touch the screen edge and no more lint on your case. But the lack of soft rubber on the outside does make it quite a bit less grippy.
Overall I think the Cyclops leaves the Defender defenseless.
This case is the best case I have seen out for our phones to date. I absolutely love it. Kickstand is rock solid and the case just feels nice in your hand. Most important it can slide in and out of your pocket easily!
Pros-
Camera button works well
Kickstank is the best I have seen
Screen and camera protectors ( I don't use them but they look well done for someone who uses them )
Hard outside case slides in pocket well
Cons-
Sometime hard to open charge port cover
I will post pictures of it next to my defender and commuter otter box cases for comparison ... The kraken is maybe a slight bit thicker than the defender but unnoticeable really

Does the Kraken II have a dust filter over the speaker ports (both the earpiece and the speakerphone)? I'm currently using the Otterbox Defender, and I'm getting tired of having to open it up to clean dust from between the screen and the case.
Also, can the holster be used to hold the phone with the screen facing out? I've set my Otterbox holster in the car to hold the phone that way for convenience.

The best part of using otterbox is there warranty is the best yet. They will replace your case and holster and let you keep your old one. Trident warranty is slow and a pain.
The holster on the kraken is pretty small. From the pic. I just got one on ebay for 25 bucks.

I purchased the Ballistic Hard Case and for my large hands it fits very nicely. My review of the Ballistic Hard Shell Case...
The thing I like most about this case that I did not like about the Defender is that the defender I could not click on keys or buttons at the edge of the screen without some trial and effort. The Ballistic is a bit bulkier due to it's design it does not effect my pressing buttons or typing at all I can actually see the 2-3 centimeters of the black edges around the screen meaning I can now play my games without killing myself to hit the buttons or use the keyboard without effort to press keys like o and p when I was in non-landscape mode. The kickstand does feel flimsy and appears it will pop off but treat it carefully and it should be ok. And last but not least the plastic protective screen covers the entire front of the phone unlike the Defender which had a gap that lint and dusts always seemed to find it's way into. I give it a 3.5 star more if the kickstand was of a heavier quality. What matters is the touching of the screen freedom of movement which the Defender SEVERELY lacked but this one does not.
htcEVO9 from someone that has used a Ballistic Case how much does this one differ? I am really curious as the only other case I have seen is the Defender.

i do not have the hc ballistic case for the 3d, but when i had it for the og evo i loved it, superior build quality and like u said the buttons were very easy to push which made it a huge plus. the kick stand was incredibly flimsy that and the silicon piece that was used to cover the headphone jack never really sat in place properly, those being the only 2 real drawbacks of the case. compared to the otterbox defender i would choose ballistic over otter any day, ive seen ppl drop otter boxes about 3-4 feet and the phone still gets damaged, whereas i have dropped mine over 10 ft and thrown it just to prove how superior the ballistic is the otter.
as for the ballistic 3d from what i have seen the interior case deff looks like it is designed to protect the phone, but i cant say the same for the silicon skin, build quality deff looks like its lacking, looks poorly done is what im getting at. but if you can get over the physical appearances then i am sure that the case is still much better than an otterbox.
There on ebay for $34 maybe ill give it a shot. Ill keep my defender just incase. Only problem is ive dealt with otterbox and ballistics customer service before and otterbox service is 100 times better then ballistics

Someone here did a review and it seem solid, just not for me. Can't remember the reason. Likely because I already had OtterBox Defender?
I have a Seidio Active and love it. Easy to remove and put back on, has access to kickstand, and not as bulky as some other cases but offers good protection.
All boils down to personal preference.
I have the Seidio convert case with a flygrip on it. It does add some bulk and you can't use the kickstand with it unless you take off the two outer layers. The protection is great though, covers over everything including the camera. The holster works nicely and has been secure so far. If you don't mind the bulk and like protection from drops and dust its the best case IMO. Get the flygrip if you want a kickstand and more, you won't regret it.

Otterbox commuter here, and I love it. Yeah it adds more thickness, but now when I drop my my phone all I think is"oh well, my phone is a tank." Lol plus whenever you do decide to take it off it makes you feel like you have a small phone

I just ordered a seidio surface and an Amzer silicon skin from amazon, $30 for both... I'll let you know what I think of them once i get em
Next Case
I have the Otterbox Defender as well and really love it. I have to admit though a friend of mine just bought a Trident for their Samsung Epic and it was totally hot! It might be a great ... next case
I have been using the Incipio Silicrylic case for a while now. It seems to offer enough protection without adding too much bulk. The only thing I have against it is that the silicone skin is just thick enough to prevent the phone from seating completely on the connectors on the car dock. Fortunately, the shell and skin are easy and quick to remove.
i use the otterbox defender and mounted the belt clip to my forklift at work and mounted a speaker and now i jam all day at work plus i can take calls lol

Have fun.
I've got the commuter as well, but I haven't used it in months. I think unprotected just feels better...
I have the otterbox defender and its great. But as all otterbox products the rubber is streching out horribly. I miss the ballistic hc i had on my evo 4g. Ive been eying the trident case as well

Funny, I got the Defender in October, took it off to fix something in Feb but left it off because I liked the feel and beauty. Last night, I put it back on. I was planning on happy hour at the bar and...........whatever.

otterbox!
i say otterbox! i have the otterbox defender and i love it! I do alot of hard work and need protection and this case is fantastic. i have also been walking and texting, dropped my phone right onto my foot and basically punted it... nothing happend. picked it right back up and started texting again.
also. customer service rocks at otterbox. i got into my girlfriends car and hit the belt holster on the side and the belt clip broke.. i called them and they sent a whole new case to me.
Boxwave Unicolor is the one I just recently purchased. It ia slim good looking case
