I am looking all over for decent kickstand case online and everyone is sold out. Can anyone point me website that has some left.
They were never in stock anywhere. Nobody has them as of yet. I've heard as early as this week to the end of july

Sorry, I was referring to the official HTC case

And I love them, Do you use one as well? I had one for my EVO 4G and now this. Very happy. Haven't heard of many people talking about them. They go right for the Otterbox.

I went to BestBuy yesterday looking for a case and I saw that one. In my opinion, it has two problems.
1.- The kickstand is made of thin plastic, it might be functional, but it doesnt look very sturdy.
2.- (The biggest one) Once the phone is on the stand, the USB port ends up facing the table so you cant charge your phone and use the kickstand at the same time.
On the other hand, its the only option for now if you have to have one.
I rather wait until the official comes out or the dock.
The official HTC case for the 3VO will be just like the Thunderbolts, nice and slim with a meaty metal kickstand.
i bought the body glove vibe cover from the sprint store and love it. it only comes in purple that i know of. it is 24.99 and i received 25% off for buying two accessories.
edit it fits perfectly in the car dock from sprint.
I shelled out the 35 for the kickstand case (pt) from BB. More than I would usually spend on a case but it doesn't add much bulk at all and the kickstand is nice to have. It does seem on the fragile side but it locks in pretty good so I don't think it will pop out when it's not supposed to. There are 2 settings - out and out a little further. The 2nd enables you to stand it in portrait and thus charge the phone. Not a perfect case, but pretty nice.
The body glove kickstand idea looks cool but it looks bulky and well ... it's purple.

I got this yesterday also...I really like it, and I'm not a case-kind-of-guy! My OG EVO, no case, perfect condition not a single mark on it. I feel this phone has to have it just to be able to set it down safely without scratching the camera lenses which I did on my first E3D within 4 days, not good! I feel a lot more safe with this case and the cheesy little kickstand works fine. Was hoping it would still fit into that HTC car mount but no go. Picked up the universal car mount at Sprint and I am a happy E3D owner!

Does anyone know a good case with a kick stand? The most important features are just the kickstand and thinness. I know Casemate makes a great one, but it's way too thick.
This one seems okay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-FoldOut...ccessories&hash=item2eb8015e60#ht_2188wt_1163
But I'd have to make a slight modification for the microphone, and most importantly, I don't know if it will fit. I'm quite weary of any of these cases that can fit both the international and ATT versions.
I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

Thanks for the link and the info...I too got my SGSII on launch day and was disappointed at the lack of accessories and items available for the AT&T branded SGSII. I even have communicated with Body Glove about one of their cases (As I have been a fan of that one and used it on my Cappy and Infuse both) but they said they will not be producing a Body Glove case for our phone So I am going to try the above listed one and I will let you know. Maybe even post some screens and update the thread.

I bought this today instead of the leather case...
Its definitely not as bulky as I thought it would be (previous experience with the thrill and infuse pop cases) and the kickstand works great!

I've had this for about 3 days now. I think its called Minisuit
Pros: Thin, light, tight fit, good kickstand, cheap, quick delivery
Cons: no hole for secondary mic, generic micro usb rechargers have trouble given cutout (stock cable works fine)
Happy enough with it for now.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok, I got the case.
Doesn't fit 100%.
The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.
Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.
They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.
Kind of a weird way to make us word it.
Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.
Here are the accessories I bought for my 3VO. (coming from OG EVO)
Anti-Glare Screen Protector
Trident Aegis Case
Class 4 16GB SD
Personally have not had a matte screen protector. But I have seen others saying it disrupts the way the 3d works, as in the 3d doesnt look or work as good with that type of screen protector.
I would love to hear your experience with it however.

Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
what's a 3VO, do you mean a EVO 3D?
dont waste your money on an otterbox, invest in a ballistic case and youll be glad you did!
Also the official htc dock is really nice. Fits perfectly (not a mm too small/big), looks neat and even supports MHL (which is also a great thing to have). I don't like cases personally, the back cover is too nice to put something over it. I also don't have a screen protector cuz I always screw up putting it on (yes I tried) . I do have a nice official htc leather pouch (really cheap from eBay. Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-PU-Leat...657502?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c20fedb5e <-- one downside, doesn't fit perfectly.. top speaker bit is visible..) .

I have bought a few cases and docks since I bought my phone almost 2 months ago. after tring a few things and the construction industry I'm in. This is what I bought and seems Like I have dialed in good. I have bought the
Otter Box Defender> http://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Defender--Hybrid-Holster-Black/dp/B0054JGGB4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322927463&sr=8-1
and the Platinum case/holster from Best Buy>http://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Holster-Mobile-Phones-Black/dp/B006558R36/ref=sr_1_17?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1322927619&sr=1-17
Took them both back since if I get paint on it it will be hard to get off everyday. Also decided to keep my phone naked.
so I settled on this cheesy pouch this for when I'm painting to cover the phone from overspary and getting knocked around:
http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Prote...54/ref=sr_1_90?ie=UTF8&qid=1322927176&sr=8-90
when I'm home and for the weekends: I have the Seidio non-cased spring cliped holster:

For the car got the iGrip car dock which is nice:

But not as universal and easy to take from car to car as the Exomount:
http://www.amazon.com/MSW-Exogear-Exomount-Universal-Mount/dp/B004Z8ZLOS/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1322928242&sr=1-1
I like the iGrip since it holds the car charger wire firm as not to strain the port in the phone from where I like the suction cup to go and the phone is very easy to put in and take out. The Exomount is nice since the suction cup is one of those sticky kind that will go anywhere, I used to to watch movies in the back seat, stuck to the rear seat which the iGrip might not of stuck to.
Regarding my wifes phone we stayed with the White Platinum case (from bestbuy) with the holster from my black case Platinum combo and she uses it on her purse. I do like the Platinum case but the white one seems to discolor from the sun it looks like
Yeah have the otterbox defender, have no complaints except for the holster. Smart to buy a case for it either way. One scratch is too many!
I agree. I hate scratching my phone. I like the otter but its just to big and thick for me to being carrying around in my pocket especially at work. And I'm not a fan of holsters hahA.

When you have your phone in the Exomount, does it bounce around? I want to get a mount that I can use with my 3vo, or Epic Touch, or any other device that I have.

Couldn't disagree more. Otterbox is hands down the best case. Spend the $50, buy a defender. Protects way better than the Ballistic case, backed by the company and smaller than a ballistic.

Okay, Yes the exomount does have a small ball and its not very stiff. (sounds like a horror movie ha!) If your bouncing around alot the phone does lose it's position and you have to realign it to face you. But that said its very universal and light and easy to just grab when you know you might need it. also its good for anyother device like other ipod touches & smartphones in the family.

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!

I realize that, just providing the actual dimensions since "feel" can be subjective.
no kickstand
corners not protected with hard plastic
fail
Seidio Active with metal kickstand owns this POS, AND costs less

I'm liking the glossed white one w/kickstand myself. Is the kickstand pretty sturdy? Do you use any charger stands that allow this to slip in fine? Car mount?
Looks like a nice quality case...but 2.4 oz? Seems quite heavy...so had to weigh my boxwave which is .95 oz.
anyway, thanks for posting the info on the otterbox.

I bought the gloss white one; very nice, and the kickstand is sturdy...
I don't have it any sort of dock, since I don't think there is a dock that will hold almost any phone inside its case..If you want to be able to dock your phone, it needs to be case-free..
I Don't use a mount in the car either.

This Seidio dock is compatible with the Active case:

FYI Amazon now has these in stock at $30.45 shipped (via Prime for free 2 day delivery)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PYMFZ2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Looks like they are only fulfilling orders from one seller so if they sell out the free shipping will go away and the price will change until they get their own stock or start fulfilling for another 3rd party.

Click on the link I posted above then click on 22 New under more buying choices. If you have Prime it is currently 29.45 with free 2 day shipping. There is a cheaper one for 24.99 but it also has 4.48 shipping.
They don't ship to PR so I got it from Otterbox with a coupon and free shipping...
2 x $81
You can buy at shopatewe from $24.99 fs. I found this site through slickdeals priced at 34 but the site shows $24.99 with FS.
Got my Otterbox Commuter today. I finally found a case I'm 100% happy with. I've tried the Seidio w/ Kickstand (silicone was lose and the kickstand felt cheap), the Samsung flip cover (didn't like the lack of protection for sides), a few TPU cases (they were ok), and the Speck Candyshell (like everyone said the back starts to scratch immediately).
The Otterbox is slightly larger than the Speck but not really noticeable. Case fits the phone like a glove. Silicone feels much better than the Seidio. S-pen is easily removable. Case feels much more protective than the TPU cases I tried. Hard plastic makes it easily removable from my pocket without the easily scratch-able plastic the Speck case had. So far I have not found a downside to the case. If you have used a Commuter case in the past you know what you are getting.
In addition for those that were wondering the Commuter comes with 2 screen protectors, 1 for the International version and 1 for the AT&T version. However, I can't comment on quality since my Boxwave Crystal is working fine.
Yep still digging the case! I dont know about you but the case does feel good in the hand
I'm pre-ordering my phone today probably.
Would rather not pay $30-40 for a case at Sprint.
eBay doesn't have any yet.
Looking for a standard plastic case.
(Preferably snap on case)

Will do, thank you. =]
Seidio currently has two, the Surface and the Active, and I'm certain Best Buy will have some sort of combo available when it releases next Friday as thats what they did when the original EVO came out.

I'm getting the commuter and a set of really nice screen protectors for this. I had the Defender for my DInc2; it was too bulky and the built in screen protector sucked a lot. It got dirty really easily and dust got under it too well. I'd rather have a slimmer case and a quality screen protector.
The accessory I'm most excited about is the Media Link though. It's a pretty penny, but that will be a really cool feature. Emulators on your TV with your phone as the controller. It's gonna be real nice.

TPU FTW IMO

Leather pouch probably, but fitted case I doubt. They are designed completely differently with similar internals.

i like the defenders shock absorbtion but i dont want a screen protector.. and i say this for one main reason.. ive never liked the way they look.. but also in the 2 years ive owned the evo and the year my wife has owned hers never once has the gorillas glass scratched.. and she abuses hers a lot more then mine.. so unless i can remove the screen protector on the defender ill prolly go commuter

I had a defender for my Evo OG and I was able to remove the protector and use my phantomskinz. It was just held in with some type of adhesive and it actually made a pretty good seal with my screen protector.
So if you want to go without a protector, I would imagine it shouldn't be a problem to remove.
Is there a band to go around it? Similar to how the iPhone antennae issue was "fixed". I don't want a case, but I would like a ~2mm lip to protect the glass when laying face down.
Edit: After some googling, apparently they are called bumpers. I can probably get a cheap-o from ebay after release. Does anyone have any experience with a bumper case?
I'm hoping for Trident to release a case... i love their Aegis on my E4GT...i wont consider another brand

I emailed the TPU-cases guy to see when they would have them ready as I usually buy from him AND will probably buy another one from him once they are ready BUT I did go ahead and order one of the TPU cases from the HTCPedia shop http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-evo-4g-dura-gel-tpu-case.html
Says it should ship "on or before 5/11" so we'll see...
I liked the hard snap on platinum cases from Best Buy. That gun metal color. Hope they have those again.

The only thing I didn't like about those was mine interfered with my screen protector. Meaning it peeled up the edges when I went to put it on.
I will prob be getting the Active Combo from Seidio.

I saw that one too but come on.... 12.99 for a tpu case. That's quite steep. I'm used to paying like 3-5 dollars. I think I'll wait lol.

TPU-cases.com are usually $8 or so in the early stages and then once more knockoffs come to market you can get cheaper. Honestly, I would pay evwn more as long as I have a case the day my phone arrives that I know I will like. Put a case on as soon as box is open and phone will look like new next year when it's time to upgrade, again.
