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

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!
Searching Ebay I found this case...
What do you guys think?
In my opinion it looks great but I'm concern in how's is gonna feel in hands and pocket becuase reading the info is like half silicon and half aluminum...
Is anybody's whants to Search it:

I say it sure looks nice. If it is silicon inside and aluminum outside, should provide a lot of protection. Might add a good amount of weight.
Never know when it comes to these eBay third party cases.

That does look like a pretty sweet case. I especially noticed how, considering it's a cheap ebay case, the camera holes seem perfectly centered. On my $50 Defender the camera holes are slightly off center, makes me wonder what Otterbox's profit margin is (think Monster Cable). It does look nice and has some nice extras. One thing that concerns me is that it seems (through my past experience) that 2 piece hard plastic cases tend to come off the phone as soon as it hits the ground. I know the back is metal but the metal is attached to a hard plastic shell correct? Does it seem like it might come off easy? Just concerned because I had a hard plastic case on my OG EVO and the one time I dropped it the case popped right off and my EVO went skidding across the ground. Just hate to spend the money on a product that fails at the exact time you need it to do it's job.

The aluminum is adhered to what I believe is acrylic so that It's one piece. Its a snap on case. It fits tight. I'm not sure how easy its going to be to take on and off to swap batteries.

We've known for a while that they are not going to release it =( I was looking forward to it back when I got my evo 3d too.
HTC confirms that official EVO 3D kickstand case will not be released
Yup, not gonna happen. Too bad, that's the best looking case for the 3D. HTC really screwed us on this one...

when I bought mine, I HAD to have a case; otherwise the phone wouldnt last 5 minutes lol..
Long story short; i bought the otter box; it came with a hard case to put the phone in, a rubber case to go around the hard shell, and a little 'clip in' style holster... i was kinda bummed it didnt have a kick stand like my HD2 did, however, when I started messing around with it, I folded the belt clip parallel with the case, and just sat the phone in it 'not snap it in' and its just like a kick stand!
if you need more elaboration, ill take a pic when I get home.
also, it has like 4 viewing angles... not clipped in, clipped it, holster clipped open-un clipped, and clipped out... if that makes any sense X_X
With the Defender the belt clip is made to function as a kickstand. Open all the way it locks in place and works perfect

Short because I'm using my E3D and on low battery. But some kickstand complaints I've read make me want to set the record straight.
I read a few complaints that the kickstand prevents you from using it while charging. Not true, it still supports the phone upside down. It locks into place and rather than using the kickstand as a leg, you can flip the whole phone and use it as a base. Works fine.
As far as the rest of the case goes... I came from the otterbox and boy is the Seidio anorexic by comparison. I don't feel like I can be so careless, but I do love the smaller form factor. The case does feel sturdy enough, but not like the otterbox. I was expecting the hard plastic outer layer to be a bit more stiff also, but it has a little flex to it. This also makes it easy to grip and hold. The outer layer being mostly hard plastic also makes putting this in your pocket much easier than otterbox. The otterbox often pulled my pocket inside out when taking it out.
I've really only had a few hours with this case so far so it really hadn't been put to the test. I do prefer this to the otterbox, despite the obvious downgrade in protection. It still feels sturdy enough for the average person's needs, mine included. I only wish the kickstand version had color options other than black.

My question for you is what if you want to charge and use it at the same time. Does the kickstand work in a way where you cant charge while the kickstand is set?
My first paragraph discussed that. The kickstand locks into place sturdy enough to support the phone from either direction (usb on top or bottom. It was 1 of the first thing I tried because of people's complaints about it.

So I was searching for a replacement case because I'm really unhappy with my poetic slim case. I was searching on Overstock and came across this swivel case, and im in love. I've seen one similar for the ipad, but did not know one existed for the transformer. It leaves access for all ports, has a hard plastic back covered with that fake leather type feeling material. The transformer can rotate 360 degrees in the case as well as stand. The case does not add much bulk, but protects all sides, screen, and back. It closes with an elastic strap. I'm really happy with this new case!

Yep, I have about the same case, I purchased mine off Amazon. It's superb. My only complaint is that it's somewhat easy for the TF to fall out of the grooves when you have it propped up. Still, works great for what I wanted.

yea, my other case did the same thing, but it's not bad for watching movies and video clips.
Glad to hear you like it. I just ordered the same one from Hand held items. They have it for 17. 99, and I had a $5 off cupon it was under $16. Shipped.

Yes, very good case. Most case has cut opening on the corner and the tablet will dent if drop. This case covers all corner and it is very solidly build. There is the two and three groove version, get the two groove one. Mine holds the tablet very well and doesnt came off easily.
We just received ours and I could not be happier. It's exactly what I wanted out of the case.
Sent from my Transformer TF101
I have a question about this case. Can you charge the device with the case closed?
on the overstock link it says that it has cutouts for everything...they could just be saying that though

Yes you can, u can swivel it either way. That's why it's call 360, perfect isn't it?
yes! I dont know why it didn't occur to me that it would just swivel to the side with the charge port
Just received my case today from Overstock! Fits perfect. Great case...
Thanks for the heads up on this case!
I have a couple questions. How easy is it to remove for those of us who have the dock? Also if you fold the lid back how flat does it lay like if you were to read with it?
Interested, may buy one.

It is pretty easy to remove the case. It holds the tablet very securely, but is easy to take out. And the lids folks back 2 ways. Either close to the swivel point, our in the muddle if the case. either way, it lays very flat.
Is it dockable? I only ask because the picture on overstock has a dock showing. If not its still a nice case for the price.

Not to bump an old thread, but is this case available with 3 angles instead of just two? How well does the plastic housing protect the tablet? I'm assuming is not removable like the RooCase as well.
Actually this case was the second one I bought..
I love this case... the TF is easy to put in it and remove it (while still being secure) and I dont own a dock so I cant say as to that, but other than it slipping out of the grooves sometimes its the best case I have seen... this is my new go to..
Are any of the cameras obstructed by the case? My original case I replaced (rooCase) had camera holes as small as those and the back camera looked like it had a circular vignette. The front camera only became affected when the case shifted a bit. Looks like this case would have similar issues, even though I love the rotatable aspect.
