Oh boy can't get Siedo Surface case off. - HTC EVO 3D

It was really easy to remove on my EVO 4g, but on the 3d because of how large the camera is its hard to grip it correctly to remove the case. Any suggestions, got it off once but took me like 30 minutes. Need it off to install my screen protector.

Lay the phone face down on a hard surface like a table. On the lower half of the case, press firmly in the center near where the two halves meet. Then with your other hand grip the sides of the top half of the case and slide it away from the phone.

Thanks, that worked great.

No Problem, those Seidio Surface cases can be a tricky fit. I watched someone sling their Captivate 10 feet when the two halves of the case let go abruptly as they pulled.

Where did you get a seidio case for the 3d?sprint store didnt have them yet.

I don't think they are the exact same. I picked up the medium level one at BB (the silicone body with the hard corner and back protector) and it was not only very loose silicone (felt like it wasn't made to be snug), but it also wasn't cut very well. The edges all had little pieces of silicone that looked like they weren't trimmed after molding (the openings around the 2d-3d switch, and the micro-usb port).
Even if these look like rebranded Seidio cases, the quality is not up to Seidio cases quality. I'm still waiting on my Seidio cases to get here, but I already returned my "Platinum" case that I bought at BB and swapped it out for an Otterbox Defender.

Cool Silicone Covers and cases?

Think there will be cool silicone covers and unique cases for the Touch HD similar to the iPhone? One thing about my Touch Pro and Tilt I have is they don't make silicone covers due to the slide out keyboard. On rare occasions I've dropped my Tilt on asphalt and scratched it bad.
Just want a good protector for a 1000 dollar phone when it comes out.
Would appreciate any info or rumors of accessories coming out..
Thanks
haven't heard of anything yet. But, some of the iphone accessories might fit since they are almost identical in size...
What about those invisible shields? They are transparent stickers essentially that cover the entire phone. I think it would be better to have that as it protects the phone from scratches and still leaves the cool uncased form factor. I saw one on my friend's iphone. Looked fine.
Seidio case for the HD?
I wonder if there will be a Seidio case for the Touch HD, as I'm very satisfied with the one I have for my TyTn II (it literally saved it's life)

I'm using a black Belkin silicone case meant for an iPhone 3G. I had to cut a hole for the camera and the headphones. It fits, but not too tight. I think it will hold me over until the official HD models hit the market.

What do you think about the original silicon case from HTC (HTC Touch HD Silicon Case SC S420)?
https://www.htcaccessorystore.com/ee/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956
You think it would fit together with the leather case I am getting from digitec.ch?

Ascenca
looks nice, but not available until next year... i don't want to wait; i'd rather protect now with something cheaper an purchase HTC's version later.
My silicon arrived from ebay today. Package contains the case, a replacement screen protector (which I will not use - waiting for invisishield) and a useless neck strap (useless in that there is no strap loop on the case!).
The case itself fits easily, makes the Hd easier to hold in the hand, and makes me much less scared of dropping it.
Of course, now I have introduced a new surface into the equation, the propensity for scratches via this method increases. However, the fit is pretty good and I certainly prefer this to having the paintwork exposed all the time.

One of these came today. It is specifically for the THD. The fit is good the cut outs in the right place and the buttons sound and off operable through the rubber.
At £3.49 It will do for now.

Quick question, but why Otterbox?
Good quality case, or thinnest? Does it work with the verizon sold window mount?

Wondering if anyone has tried it yet? I know the high gloss Silicon case fits in the car mount (as the mount comes with inserts to allow either an extended battery, or a reg. battery, with case... to fit.)
Anyone?
I've been using the case for about a day now and might just keep the black tpu one from Verizon. In hand, the case feels great and I like how the ports have flaps to keep junk from getting inside. The only downside I've found is the silicone attracts a ridiculous amount of lint. Took it out of my jacket pocket this morning and it practically needed to be wiped down with a damp cloth. I'll be damned if I am going to carry around wet naps to keep this thing clean
Jesus Christ doesn't that bother The hell out you? It drives me crazy LOL. I'm in construction so I keep my phone in a sandwich baggy at all times in work, while its in my pocket. But as soon as I take it outta the bag and put it in my pocket, you can forget it. It becomes a frikken mess. Bit its not too bad. I liked the one for my EVO 3D better. Ohh well, that's life I guess

Nope. I just got mine and tried it with the "iBolt" car mount made for the RZD and it does not fit properly. It isn't a matter of overall size - it's the fact that Otterbox cases usually, as in the case of the RZD cases, have a plug/flap over the USB connector. Unless you can live with cutting it off, you can't fit the Commuter case in the dock because the flap is in the way, open or closed.

Visually, yes it does look pretty cool and would do a good job protecting the phone in case of a drop, however, the plastic is VERY slick. I've almost dropped the phone because of the backing plate of the case.
I guess I'll just keep this one until the Seidio Surface comes out and sell this Otterbox.

Just got mine today and feel exactly the same way. The plastic back makes it kind of slick in the hand. Does OK in the pocket.
Plus it does not fit in my cup holder stand.
I do like the screen save though. Comes close to covering the entire screen.

Otterbox

Looks like Otterbox just needs a phone to put in their just posted case.
Can't wait!
Saw one at Radio Shack 2 days ago and bought it. Waiting for the phone to go along with it. Me thinks it will be very soon, brand new Rezounds retail are down $100.00 on Ebay from just a couple of days ago.

Do you guys find it to big? I've been looking at this or the Ballistic case but they both seem to make the phone in to a brick.

Sent from my ADR6410LVW using Tapatalk 2
Here are some pictures of it, and ones comparing it to my mom's Razr with a Case-mate case on it in my previous post.
I've commented on the otterbox defender series case before. I've got one on my Dinc. Yes the defender series will bulk it up, with the outer hardshell and clip but guess it depends on your lifestyle. I'm a mechanic so I need something that can withstand getting dropped or inadvertantly laid on, etc.
The defender is like a brick **** house, it just doesn't get any better protection wise. The nice thing about it, is if I take the phone all the way out to just it's core size without all the protection, and wipe it down, you wouldn't know this phone was not brand new, it's mint condition, thanks to the otterbox, and it has been dropped on the otterbox at least 5 times.
The commuter series would be a lot smaller profile if that's what you are looking for....
I'm glad to see OB has their act together on this and released a case for it, it actually took them a while to release one for the og Dinc..

I bought the Commuter, and the fit was horrible. The hard plastic outer shell didn't securely clamp to the soft rubber inner cover, and that inner cover did not fit the phone securely. The port covers didn't lay flat either. I bought an incipio silicrylic case and it fits much better.
Wow, I really like that Incipio case, holy cow. You have anything that can take pictures of it on the phone? Would really like to see some real world pics. How soft is the inside layer? Would it be ok sliding in and out of a pocket or would it "grab" or rip over time?
It doesn't look any different than from the website. Slides into and out of pockets just fine, and I don't think it will wear over time. The included screen protector is way better than the one OtterBox packages with their case, it covers the entire front glass panel.

I agree! I just got my Otterbox case in on Saturday and the fit is really bad. I have a hard time pushing the power and volume button, the rubber over top of the front camera does not lay flat, the bottom end below the soft keys does not hug the phone(kind of protrudes out), the screen protector does not cover the whole screen, and the headphones port cover does fit very well into the hard shell.
I'm very disappointed in this case and will try and return it.
I'm not a big fan of otterbox because it's too big for me. :silly: But, if I don't find that many cases, I might have to buy this one. haha
i just got me an otter box defender, and its awesome, fits perfect, it makes the phone.has it's own screen cover too.

boy they must have given you the wrong one, mine is nothing like you discribe
I haven't used an otterbox on the Inc4, but we've got a fleet of iPhones for our salesmen at work. Every single one is in an otterbox Defender series, and trust me when i say our salesmen are extremely hard on phones. These cases have probably saved us hundreds of dollars no question.
The point of my post however is if you get one that doesn't fit quite right though i would ask for a replacement. When i was setting up all the phones and putting them into there cases i did run into a few that just didn't sit right. Looked like a manufacturing defect to me, but i was able to get replacements. That might be the issue your running into.
Void4ever
Edit: The Defender series WILL absolutely bulk up the phone though, but if you need the protection you'll find none better. I have no exp with the Commuters personally, but from the pics the size looks good.

Naaa bud, I don't have the Inc4g yet, I've got my original Dinc sealed up in the defender series.
To the latest posters, as I mentioned in my post earlier as well, I have no experience with the commuter series OB but I did have two defender series OB's that cracked a small portion of the clip/case. I think it's a weak link in the design of the case and the snapping/unsnapping of the phone in/out of the case over time that caused this. But OB themselves, have been absolutely stellar to deal with, they looked up my purchase date, no questions, shipped out new cases to me each time.
I'd call em up tell em, and maybe they sent the wrong case, maybe you got a design flaw on yours, who knows but if some of the folks using the commuter case have posted awesome fit and look, that just don't jibe with what your reaction is to your case...
I went to radio shack to try out the otterbox commuter and the defender.
The commuter was unimpressive. The fit was loose even after much working of the acrylic over the silicone to have it get into the right place. The top part that hangs over the front facing camera is kind of flappy and I can see a lot of dust getting in there. The screen protector doesn't cover up under the loose area either. The bottom part of the case barely hangs on to the bottom of the phone, not tight at all.
The defender was completely opposite, the defender was a great fit. It felt sturdy, durable and overall just comfortable (if you like the additional bulk added). The screen protector was flush with the screen and responsive. Not nearly as nice feeling as a skinomi, but still nice.
I know this is an older post but........ I just got the defender series and it really doesn't bulk up the phone that much - frankly it is pretty small in you hand without a case. Even with this case on it still fits into the side pocket of a pair of carhartts. It is worth the money.

There another OP for this case, it actually increased to 3x what it originally was. It was 1.99 a week ago.
I'm already using this case, it's amazing for $1.95
agreed i picked up this case on the 9th when it was for pennies. for the price it far exceeds in all areas. OP you will enjoy it for sure.
I bought this case when it was $1.95 on Amazon Prime, and I have to say, I actually feel more secure with the phone in a Spigen. The moko's "rubber" shell is too lose, and the plastic case is too thin and flimsy, much more thinner than a Seido Dilex or an Otterbox Commuter. I think I may just stick with a Neo Hybrid for now and just give away the Moko to someone on XDA.
Thanks for the info everyone

Totally agree with you. I got this case when it first became available. It has a really nice feel and looks great. However the tpu inner/outer shell is very flimsy, especially around the lip of the phone and has the look and feel as though debris could easily enter from the cutouts. The fitament on the phone in the case itself is just OK. The phone does not clip in, rather it slides in from the side making it awkward for some to quickly access. If your looking for something to put on your belt it works.

It isn't TPU, it is rubber...and the fit on my 32GB N6 is great...only complaint is that the holster doesn't have a locking clip. For a sub-$10USD rugged case you cannot do better. Heck Seidio and Platinum sell the same thing for $60USD for other phones.

The Seidio Dilex line of cases are more sturdy and rugged. And the Seido spring-loaded holsters make it quicker to release the phone off the belt. The Moko is a great sub-$10 case, but it cannot go up against a Seidio/Platinum case.

LOL....as an owner of a couple Seidio cases and a Platinum case...the Moko comes from exactly the same Chinese OEM and is made from exactly the same stuff (rubber/plastic). The only difference being Seidio has a metal kickstand.

The proof is in that Platinum, Seidio, and Moko have not sued one another for copyright or trademark infringement over the years. They're all that identical in design and quality.
We live in an age where people sue for using rounded corners.

Lol, you ain't lying about the lawsuits. I should be getting the i-blason case here in the next couple days, it was actually sub $10 when I scooped it up as well. Looks almost the same minus the holster and the design on the rubber, even the plastic outter clip looks identical. Don't get me wrong, the Moko isn't bad at all.. I'm just a bit ocd about the loose edges and small gaps near the cutouts. I feel like over a short period of time they'll get lose.
Sent from my Nexus 6
I may order one of the poetic revolution cases while they are still cheap. My moko should be her on 12/3
Ordered the orzly tempered glass screen protector a few minutes ago as well
OK the moko came in today and first impressions are really good! Not sure yet how it will hold up but the fit is great. All the buttons feel great! The case actually looks pretty good (granted looks are in the eye of the beholder as they say). The kickstand doesn't seem to bad. For a rugged case, its actually surprisingly slim which may make a lot of people happy.
Now for the bad as others have mentioned pulling the phone out of the holster causes the rubber part of the case to pull away from the phone. Not real bad but it does. The phone slides into the case but its a tight fit.
All in all I paid $5.95 + shipping on Amazon for this case and initial impression is for that price if you need a case it's a great buy. Just noticed the price is now $6.95 so if your looking for a decent cheap case I'd buy it before the price goes up. I'm going to use it until I find a satisfactory higher end case.
I did order a poetic revolution case as well and when it comes in I'll let you all know who it is.

Experience with Seidio Surface or other case/holster combos?

I'm looking for suggestions for a thin case for my Pixel that will fit in a belt holster. I'm currently using this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG4BBX1/
but the case is pretty thick, around 3.5mm. All of the ones in that style have a kickstand on the back, which adds to the thickness.
I see Seidio makes a Surface which they say is 2mm thick, quite a bit thinner. I've never had one, and am not sure about the TPU inner part covering the buttons, wondering if it messes up the feel.

Any comments on the Surface for this (or other) phones, or suggestions for a thin case/belt holster set?
I use a Google Live Case with a vertical leather belt pouch like this one. Works well for me.
I thought about the Seidio Surface, but don't like kickstands.
I can recommend the Supcase that comes with a belt clip but it's not the thinnest thing in the world - definitely a thicker heavy duty case. No kickstand though.
On that note, I'd be happy to mail you the belt clip if you wanted it if you paid for shipping, as well as test my various cases first to see if any are compatible with it. Just let me know. (My wife uses the case but not the belt clip.)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had bad luck with phones sliding out of that type of case (running with the dog or working under a car).

Thanks, but I have a belt clip for it without a case (think it's encased brand, ironically).
I decided to order a Surface and give it a try. Showed up today. The TPU part is a lot thinner than I was expecting. I'll post some thoughts on it after I've had it a few days.
I have the Surface case with holster and I like it. It's not too think, but still protective. I've dropped my phone a couple times and it didn't break

What's the verdict?
I had one like this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXDYKP7) on my Galaxy S6 and Moto Z, but would like a little protection on the Pixel.

That's the holster I was using when I didn't have it in a case. I liked it, but decided to stick with a case. Phone was a little too slippery for me without one.
I ended up returning the Seidio case/holster. For one thing, it was more difficult to get in and out of the holster, although it probably would have loosened up over time. Some of the headphones I have didn't fit the jack with it on, and the lip around the front made it more awkward to use. A lot of it came down to I just didn't think it was anywhere near being worth the price. For me anyhow. I see Amazon has a like new one right now for $21 though.
I'm still using the case/holster combo I linked to in the first post, and it's protected the phone from a few fumbles drops just fine.
