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!
didn't see this posted so I thought I would share this. I just got an email from ballistic saying 50% off the hc case for evo 3d with coupon code GONEBATTY13
they state you will not receive the case until the end of November though. It must be prepaid also
Yup I also just saw my email from them and was gonna start a thread. GONEBATTY13 is the code in my email as well. You're card will be charged immediately, but the case will not ship till the end of November. That's the crappy part about it. So its a 50% off pre-order sale..... Nice to know they are actually releasing the HC series case still, but I doubt I'll buy one this late in the game....
I'm just tired of waiting months on Ballistic to finally release their HC series case. It was the same with the Evo 4G, and now the 3D. I'm sticking with Otterbox!! They always have the Defender ready to install on launch day. Maybe Ballistic will learn they need to do the same to be competitive. Until they do, Otterbox will continue to get my money.

Thanks, I had an HC for my EVO 4G and loved it. I've been using an Otterbox on my 3D without any issues, but I've always like the looks of the Ballistic HC cases more. And in my opinion they offer just about the same amount of protection as the Otterbox.
Too late. I would have bought Ballistic HC before anything else, I loved it for my Evo 4G. Oh well, maybe next time Ballistic. I really do love your product, but I hate your timing.
Just confirmed my order, 33 dollars with shipping inside of the United States. I've needed a case for my phone because i'm always scared of dropping it (Thank GOD my fingers have become less buttery than with my 8330.)
This is a better deal than the SG case.
(But really Ballistic case has saved my friends Samsung Infuse 4G; he dropped it from 7 feet up and ran over it with his bike...)

No comparison between this and TPU. TPU offers very little protection. This Ballistic HC is the maximum protection that I know of.
The only problem I have with the HC case compared to the otterbox is the lack of port covers. I just feel as though it leaves them exposed to dust and other possible damage.

Amazon has the OtterBox for sale. I have not posted enough to post a link. You will need to google it.

thanks man. I'll post the link to Amazon.

I was looking at that earlier. Is it a complete case with built in screen protector?
Picture doesn't exactly show much.
they don't have the 4g lte listed on their site yet but if it is like the one x cases then it looks like it does have plastic that will cover the screen
http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-One-X-D...2-83100_color=20&start=1&cgid=htc-one-x-cases
I brave it and never use cases. I find them bulky and makes the phone ugly. Lol.
What if I drop it :3
I think I might go with:
OtterBox 77-20042 Commuter Series for HTC EVO 4G LTE
Also on the Amazon site, but this one is the commuter series for $35ish
I've had my commuter series for my OG evo for over about a year and a half now... still going strong. The design is one of the best.
Does anyone have the Defender, or has anyone had the chance to try both for the OG evo? If so, which do you like the best?

What will you guys do until this case arrives? I'm thinking of buying a temp case and then returning it when the otterbox arrives cause we are getting the phone before the case. I would hate to drop my phone or put any scratches on it.
They posted the cases on otterbox website midnight Blue? Or black?

I held the Otterbox Defender and both standard and anti-glare invisibleshields in my hand while people on this board swore they weren't out yet. I even took pictures. Otterbox's website as well as their customer service reps had no knowledge of their existence then either. I remain wholly optimistic.

love the inflated shipping costs to make it look they have the cheapest prices.. while they are cheaper by a couple dollars.. 10 dollar shipping is a joke as i know that case would fit in the small flat rate usps box and thats 6 dollars. i see that a lot on ebay.. they will offer free shipping but their prices will be 5-10 more then others with shipping. im curious as to why they claim to have it and otterbox the company who makes them does not?
Guess I'll also pre-order the defender. cant wait for friday.
Otterbox Available
I just received tracking info from Amazon that my Otterbox Defender is on the way with Thursday delivery.
I am thinking about getting the Otterbox but the price tag seems a bit much. $35 for the commuter and $50 for the defender. Can anyone explain the difference between the 2?

the defender has another layer of protection. so its a little thicker. I also believe that it has a built in screen protector. it also includes a holster. htcpedia.com, would've made it a hyperlink but apple might sue me, has them a bit cheaper. I got the defender for $39.
Seidio accessories are now up for Pre-Order. Can't wait for the car dock.

No. Get the surface case by Seidio. It's the best combination of protection and thinness:

It all depends on which one you get. The surface is very nice for a day to day case which is what I have right now and it looks like the active is an inbetween. The convert combo is the most rugged of all of them. and the thickest.
Will
Hmmm...I said I'd never buy seidio again but the surface may be my best option at this point. Hopefully it fits better than the one I had for my galaxy s II.

I personally prefer the Active combo. I go under desks all day.. IT, so yeah.
I've been using the Seidio Surface case and holster with my original EVO and I *love* them. My ~2 year old phone still looks almost brand new.
Been waiting for these to become available, thanks for the heads up!

NP, Me as well, I am debaiting between a couple of them, since I see that there is a Convert Combo pack which includes the Surface Case & Holster / Convert Case & Holster. as well as a screen shield from them as well. I have this same thing now but don't use the convert much at all. I am not sure if I want to go with the Surface Kit or the Active Kit, thinking active just to be safe. and its got a nice metal kickstand.

Agreed. Mine still looks close to new as well. Now if someone can just find a coupon for this, would be bonus.
I think I paid 19$ for my evo 4g active. Just kills me to pay close to full price of $30, when you know it costs like 20 cents to produce.
I have the active on my 3D and love it. Had the surface on my 4G and liked how thin it was but it fit loosely and scratched the edges of the phone. If they made the active with the kickstand accessible I would have ordered it yesterday. I need a case with a holster because I am a mechanic and can't keep my phone in my pocket.

I just want a Seidio holster, no case this time around! I have over $300 in Otterbox(all 3), Seidio, etc. cases for my Evo 3D just sitting in a drawer never touched. All I ever use is the $25-30 Seidio belt holster that I purchased on sale from Amazon for $2.95 and free shipping. Was the same way with my Evo 4G. I always go case crazy an buy most of the big name cases out there. Not doing it again this time!! I may buy 1 nice case just to be prepared if I'm out doing something where I'll need the phone protected. Otherwise just a Seidio belt holster an I'm all set!

That's the route I took as well....I always buy a Seidio case...this time I just got the holster for the naked phone. Tired of having a great looking phone that I never see. Unfortunately the damned holster showed up on Friday and it's sitting on my desk taunting me with the images of the phone that I am not allowed to have.
Plus no matter how good the case is, they can't replace the feel of the naked phone...
anyone know of the lowest price for the seidio surface case? (or coupon codes used to get it lower)
shopandroid and htcpedia dont have it
seidio is offering 10% off via code: FB10
but you have to pay tax (at least in texas) and shipping
also, the PT/Platinum series at best buy is the exact same case, but its $35 (at least online).

I usually get mine through Amazon, but I don"t think it will be available there for a while. I used show2012 for 15 percent off yesterday. Still seems to work. My sister just cracked the screen on her nexus. So its made me paranoid and I don't want to be without a case.
Ended up going with the active case this time. I had the rugged extended on my Evo 4g. Trying for something a little thinner this time. I'm too hard on my phone for just the surface case. Even after almost 2 years my Evo still looks brand new. Wife has the active and it feels pretty nice.
I have had a seidio case on my last 5 phones going back to the Mogul. I have cracked a few seidio cases, but there always was a pretty good drop associated with it. I look at it this way, If my phone cartwheels down a drive way and I trash the case, it did its job. Ill buy a new case.

i had the active (actually two different ones, I had to get a replacement shipped to me) on my evo for almost all of the last 2 years. i took it off a month or so ago because i got an extended battery. looks almost brand new.
Im going with surface because i think i can handle a little less protection based on my habbits (never cracked/broken any phone in 8 years as cell phone owner)
I have an active on my 3D and love it. Just wish the one for the LTE allowed access to the oe kickstand. I had a surface for my OG, but the edges of the phone got scratched from the plastic on plastic contact.

Hey all. After a smashed Evo 3D. I decided to get the Otterbox Commuter for the Evo 4G LTE as soon as it is available. The wife has one on the Razr Maxx and it feels great and looks good so going that way.
Here are the questions I have.
- Has anyone found an Armband that fits the Evo 4G LTE? I had one that fit the Evo 3D, but it was tight.
- Anybody work out with an Armband and have Commuter on their current or previous phones? Curious how easy it is to put on and take off for the Armband.
Thanks!
whoops, didn't see you already posted about the armband hahaha. I'm looking for one as well.
Has anybody found an armband that fits? I really want to go running with my evo!
None. I have an AkronXL armband that worked on the Evo 3D. It isn't tall enough.

I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004I8AW9O/
Fits with and without a case. bit tight with a case though(diztronic).
Also, the band doesn't get too small. So probably should only get it if you have larger arms.
anyone else try this one for the LTE? opinions? thoughts?
I just emailed Arkon about their new XXL Armband to see if it will fit the Evo 4g LTE. Waiting to hear back.

We saw one similar to this at a stand in the mall yesterday, but I wasn't thrilled how the top of the phone was just barely in there.. and that was without a case. I think we are going to order these though to see if they work for us.. fingers crossed!
I got my iarmbands one in the mail a few days ago, and it's really nice for only 12.95 shipped! It's fits the height very well, even with my TPU case on. My only complaint is that it's a bit too wide. Also if you have big arms you may want an extender, but otherwise it's a great deal!
I ended up getting the iArmbands case for HTC phones in Otterbox cases. If you go to their site they have the model number there. It fits great with my Otterbox Commuter. It even fit my nephew's Droid Razr Maxx in an Otterbox Defender.
The only thing I don't like is that the armband itself isn't elastic and is very short. I contacted iArmbands about this and they recommended an extender from TuneBelt.
I had to cut the case for the headphones to fit as the holes didn't align. Not a big deal. I am thinking of buying the TuneBelt for large phones in otterbox and seido cases. I might do that when I order the extender. I miss having an elastic band versus the nylon? one with the iArmbands case.
