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 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.

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.

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.

Has anyone tried a hold like THIS ONE. I'm thinking about getting one so I can use it while running, but I'm just afraid of the phone falling(Flying) out. And does anyone know if the touch screen would work through the covering?
Looks good, but yeah I hear your concern about the phone might be flying out while running and swing the arm to hard.
It doesn't seem to have anything on top of the insertion point to secure the phone. Maybe you have to mod it a little, i dunno.
i wouldn't worry too much their pretty snug i have one for my itouch and it doesn't move at all when you tighten the velcro band around your arm it basically seals itself
Edit: and to save you some money their is also this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Blue-SPORT-ARM-...868534?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27bc4cb636

I used it for my OG EVO and am now using it for my 3D. It works great. It's quite snug, but that's how it should so it doesn't fall out. I haven't noticed any condensation like that one reviewer stated. I've used it for long runs - half marathon, 10ks, etc.
And will I be able to use the touch screen at all through the clear cover on the arm band?
yes, you can use the touch screen through the clear cover

Will it fit a 3VO with a TPU case?
I Don't think so. It must be nude.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I use the old one I had for my EVO 4G and it works fine too. Can't remember where I got it, but it was a snug fit with a flap at the top to stop it from flying out. I'll try to take a picture later.
I bought one of the red ones that OP mentioned and it fits well and haven't had any issues with it at all. The quality I was a little worried about when I bought it but it seems to be pretty decent.

I end up buying one armband for the ATT infuse 4G off ebay for about $7.5 shipped from USA (HK is cheaper but i didn't want to wait that long), I reasoned that since the infuse is both taller and wider (but less thick) a 3VO in TPU case should hopefully fit.
I should get it later this week or early next week, will report then.

Thanks, I ordered this one off of ebay.
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
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
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

I have it for my HTC EVO 4G, and was about to buy more mats but won't if the new EVO won't have it.
I am assuming they will NOT, because you can't get to the battery..

email powermat.
personally I hate that thing and it worked like crap so I returned it. I want real wireless charging like the GS3 is supposed to have.
So because of the the UniBody design I looks like all the antennas are located under the top half removable cover.
Im thinking if i can mod the mother board like the OGEvo and run the cable out and place the coil on the bottom half and just protect it with a body skin like zagg or something.
Then i can use touchstone without it interfering with the NFC or any other of the antennas.
BTW if i could get this to work then i really wouldn't care about it showing thru skin. It would actually boost my Geek ego.
I have visited the future and I can confirm that no, there will be no PowerMat for the E4GL. Unless, of course, my actions change the course of events from this point forward. . . .
so wish another manufacturer would buy the Touchstone patents from HP. best thing ever!
I have a OtterBox commuter, and IM taking my touchstone from my of evo, and a Powermat case for the of evo and using the low profile micro USB plug from the power mat , and putting the touchstone under just the plastic of the OtterBox that way I don't really have to open up the evo LTE (wife really doesn't want me to kill the warranty) it was so nice to have the touchstone from the of evo, I think it would be better if HTC would just buy touchstone, or cone up with something similar, there is really no reason this is not a standard for phones, sorry this is one of my biggest complaints about smart phones, from a hardware stand there its no reason that phones don't have this, maybe a patent thing.

Hi guys,
To those of you that got the free blue gel case, have you tried using the phone with the thing on? I just tried to update my voicemail message and when I played it back, it sounded like I was driving through a tunnel. I took off the case and recorded a message and it sounded great.
Just an FYI if anyone is getting pissed over the sound quality of your phone. At least for my phone, the free Sprint case screws up the call quality big time.
I'm curious if anyone else has this issue with their free case. Try it out by changing your voicemail message.
I tried to return it to a Sprint store yesterday. They wouldn't take it. Did offer to exchange it, but the cases they had were are crappy. Going case-less for now. Will get a sub-$10 TPU in a couple weeks, perhaps, when the selection is better.
I got the gray one and I think I may just ebay it.. anyways didn't you get a Diztronic? Mine seems to work well with it on.. even though the hole isn't perfectly in the center..

I bought the otter box defender also. After using a otter box with my OG EVO I will never be without one again.
Honestly I got the case and I love it. It's a nice minimal silicone case and looks really good on the phone. (mine was blue) It doesn't add any bulk at all and it's most certainly not cheaply made like most silicone cases. And also it was free. Stop complaining.

This isn't a complaint. I'm glad the case works for you but it doesn't for me. Call quality matters to me. If anyone was having call quality issues, it might not dawn on them to check out the case.
Also, if you read my other posts you would see I appreciated the gesture.
Finally, I hope you speak to people in person differently than you do here. Most strangers would tell you to shove it if you told them what to do.

Are you guys serious? The OP isnt complaining, hes just saying that the case makes his voice sound differently. Hes letting us know that if your friends tell you that you sound weird over the phone then it might just be the case and not your nice new evo. Its a heads up so people dont go blaming their phones over poor sound quality. I for one never thought a case could make you sound different so I would instantly blame the phone. Thanks to the OP, now I wont.
Yea, I don't know why everyone is so happy and like "thank you" when this case is garbage. I didn't even want to put it on. I was like "wtf" and like "aww...... come on" when I got mine.
Thanks but no thanks Sprint.
