Well it looks like HTC pulled the plug on the kickstand case. I had one ordered and just got this email:
This email is to confirm that the official HTC Kickstand case for the HTC EVO 3D will NOT be released by HTC. Due to an unknown cause HTC has pulled the kickstand from production. If you have a pending order with HTCPedia Shop we would like to offer you similar kickstand cases for your EVO 3D.*Please reply back to this email ff you would like to substitue your order with any of the kickstand cases listed below of if you prefer to cancel your order.We apologize for any inconvenience as this was outside of our hands.

Mine order and everyone else's was canceled.
I'm waiting for the seidio surface kickstand case. I've had nothing but good luck with seidio, rocked their cases on my Touch Pro 2, Hero, OG Evo, Epic, Evo Shift, and Nexus S with absolutely no problem.

Someone needs to make a knockoff, why would they cancel the most amazing looking case like that!!!

Don't get it...I had it and although the case is decent but bulky, the kickstand is flimsy. If you really want it, just go to BestBuy, it's just rebadged as Platinum..same case.
You could take a look at the case mate pop. Is pretty nice. There is a thread here about it with pics and everything. I have the black and grey one but I don't use it because it is way too tight on the phone. If I had to take it off for any reason it would rip the back cover off with it. That worried me so I stopped using it. I might sell you mine for cheap if you want it. PM me if you think you might want it.

This is also the seido (sp) case just rebranded. It looks sharp but the kickstand is actually pretty crappy. It feels solid at first but few months of use, it gets too worn out to support any weight. I'm kind of disappointed. Loved it at first though.

I have been rocking the Seidio hev3d
I have had the Seidio hev3d for about 8 months and it is a great case. Cheap sturdy case and is easy to put on and take off if battery pull is necessary.

I also have that case and been having it for about a year but i droped it once and case craked. It did serve it perpise of not damege my phone but 3 months later itcracked from the power side so now the case its a bit loose on top i am still thinking of bying this case again but i would like it cheper than 30.00 dollars witch i paid at amazon.
Seidio hev3d was what I went with in the end after a long look. Others look tacky and cheap. This isn't the thinnest but definitely the best.
If I do drop my phone, something I have never done and we are going back 12 years or so ! I know that this should keep it in one piece.

Tough Case by Case-Mate released
Here is the URL
I like it
I had the Case-mate for my HTC Nexus One and it was a good case. I will definitely be looking at this one as a contender for the Amaze.
Also looks like it has the 3 holes in the back that some other cases are covering up.

I have the D30 case on my Amaze that I bought from T-Mobile Store. It's $24.99- $34.99 and it's one great case ever. I dropped my phone a good number of times and I'm really impressed for the price I paid (I got the $29.99 D30 Band-Smoke Case).

Really liking that casemate up there. I should have purchased that one, but ended up with the ballastic case. I am sure it will be fine, but is quite bulky! Still waiting on it to arrive.
If I don't like this one, may try that casemate.

With the 30% off accessory coupon (expires 6/2012; Google "T-Mobile Facebook 30%"), the basic black D30 "flex protective cover"[1] cost me $18 out the door of a local T-Mo case. Doesn't wrap around the case entirely (maybe I need to exchange for another), but fits snug, and the buttons work better than I expected.

Def worth it for $4! Sprint stores had it for $30. Great find!
Be careful taking it off though the top part of the phone is glues and I peeled a little bit off cause this case is so tight on the phone

Would you guys consider the bodyglove slimmer than the Amzer cases? http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Luxe-Ar..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334277058&sr=1-2
I bought two cases
one for $3 from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/White-Rubberi..._11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334610692&sr=1-11
and the other one for $10 from Radioshack
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11791815&filterName=Brand&filterValue=HTC
I liked the latter one and am currently using it.
Don't buy the Body Glove slim profile case
Worst case I have ever purchased. The outside material feels nice but it is a very cheep casting. The edges are not smooth. when you hold the phone to your ear the edge of the case hurts your face and ear. It doesn't cover the top and bottom front edge. these edges will end up scratched up and the rest of the phone will be in good shape.
P.S. If you are willing to pay for the shipping you can have mine for free. My zip code is 93036. That's how much I don't like it.
Anyone? Been looking, only see it on their site. Don't really want to wait for it to ship. If you have seen it, let me know!
Sent from my EVO using XDA Premium App
I couldn't find them anywhere. I was searching for the last 2 days. I ended up trying out the Defender since I couldn't find it. I must say, I'm liking it so far. Not as big as I thought it would be. You just may have to order from Otter if you want it. It seems that no one plans on getting them anytime soon. Good luck

Thanks! I have seen the pink and white one but I don't think I really want that color!!! lol

Man I hate putting this phone in a case... It's so sexy and feels awesome... But I am always worried about breaking it... The comuter should be thine enough to work.. If I.dobt like it ill throw it on ebay.

Is it me or does the commuter now come with a screen protector made on the case like the defender does? I really hope not...

It comes with screen protector included, not attached. A lot of people didn't even know one was in the box and never applied it.
So my amazon order said shipped but then last night I get a refund and a letter saying it will not be coming... So I bought one on ebay... Let's see if I can actually get this case..

The one off ebay has tracking info and it says it was picked up and will be here the 8th.

I was told by someone at the sprint store that they wont be carrying the commuter in black only the defender. it seems really stupid that they would sell the pink version of the commuter and not the black one. that's why its not in any sprint stores at least
I ordered on ebay Sunday and got the case today...very nice for $23 shipped I'm happy.
Looking for a case just to be able to grip the phone better. Screen should be fine, as it's made from the good stuff.

Check the Amazon website. They have a lot of cases and/or holsters for good prices.
I would recommend the Otter box commuter case, not to bulky has a nice feel and most important protects the phone just fine!!
Sounds like you want minimalistic. Go get a Cruzerlite TPU case on Amazon. Like $10, and way less bulky than the Otterbox cases. Trust me on this one, you'll love it. There's a thread on it in the Accessories Forum with pics.

I just recently compared my phone with this case with someone who has the same phone in a Commuter case, and he was quite impressed by the much less bulky case I had, and is likely going to buy one to replace his Commuter. Cheaper, thinner, lighter, more stylish.

I'd say this is the case judging by the OP. Commuter wouldn't necessarily be as good for grip.
As always, I'll put in a plug for the Diztronics Matte Back TPU case.

Recently bought this case and and screen protector combo. I wasn't expecting a whole lot considering the price, but I must say I am very pleased with the quality of both products.
I used the casemate barely there case on my OG EVO for a while, and while I liked the case, it scratched the **** out of the sides of my phone. If the design is similar, I would stay away.

otter box makes great cases and there warranty is beast!!!! :good:
My wife and I bought the $1.99 (black) & $2.99 (pink) cases from Amazon. They're just as good as the $25 HTC cases we had for our OG EVOs.
Even if you're super tough on the phone and case, you could still buy a few of them for less than most other cases.
