Seidio Surface Case With Kickstand - HTC EVO 3D

From what I know the seidio surface case with kickstand is now shipping. Before I buy I wanted your reviews on the case.
3VO BASTARDS

Just got one
I work over at HTCPedia.com and I got the case from Seidio to do a review they also sent me a Holster so if you give it a day or 2 I'll have a full review up with picture and everything.

Ok that's cool. And don't forget to tell if it is easy to take off

I have a review coming as well but just barely got to using it. But yes the case is easy to remove if you know the trick to it. If you just try prying it apart it wont come off easy. I'll add it to my review and will post how to here.

i think the full body is gunna be a tough one man, especial with the textured back cover of our phones. Is it even possible is what i'm thinkin
so I purchased 1 at best buy when I first got my phone it's the platinum version I'm able to charge air on the the kickstand is definitely very flimsy I do you like the actual plastic portion of it because it seems like you have more ability to hold of the EVO. my sprint store claims are gonna get a sprint specific case in about a week or so so I'll be curious with that will look like .
I have already dropped my phone with this and to get a really good job . also the camera no longer protrudes out . and is well more protected . I was expecting to return this and probly get a different case a better 1 . but I really think I like this .

I've never liked Seidio's cases. Their stuff broke on my Pre, and marred up my Brother's Pre. I like TPU cases now, but no kickstand in those. If you're going to pay Seidio prices, just buy a cheap TPU case for now and then wait for the HTC case.

Evo 3d kickstand case

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!

HTC Offical Kickstand Case Discontinued?

So has this case been discontinued/never mad haha?
Mobilecityonline and htcpedia no longer list the device. I received an email from mobilecityonline that the shipping date had changed, but the new ETA was simply a blank.
It is unfortunate if this is the case, I was looking forward to this case.
ye,i got a email from mobilecity also,when i went the there site it stated the case was discontinued.this sucks since we never got a chance to use the case.
that sucks, cause that was the case I was looking into getting
Yep, I bought a tpu case (which is a great case btw) to hold me off tell then.
I guess I will wait a little bit and see what comes out.
I'm MAD...
Like damn, the one accessory I wanted the very day I bought the phone.

Have only seen that one in purple (a very feminine purple )
I would agree, trying to locate a black or a more "male" color
yeah I would be pretty mad if the HTC case is really not coming out. The body glove case does look cool as well but how would they not make it in black?

That case isn't really that great since it doesn't protect the bottom of the phone.....
Man I really wanted this case why would they not make this?!?!
I hope it isn't really discontinued. I had the EVO then went to the Thunderbolt to now the 3D and after being spoiled with kickstands, I need this case.
the Best buy platinum series case w/ kickstand is a good alternative.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...18353391762&skuId=2809635&st=evo 3d&cp=2&lp=2
And if u know sumone who works at best buy the discount is insane cus its a best buy accessory. kickstand one was like $13 an the other one was $15
htcpedia was quick to charge me for the case when I preordered...if it isnt going to be produced I hope they are just as fast returning my money.
Wow, that really sucks!! The HTC case is the sexiest 3D case I've seen yet..... Please make the case HTC!!

Alternative to Otterbox (lint)

I recently got the Otterbox Commuter case for my SGS2 and like the fit and feel of it but the rubber attracts alot of lint and dust. It collects around the earpiece and front camera and around all the exposed rubber; it's annoying quite frankly.
Does anyone else have a recommendation for an alternative case. I like how the size isn't crazy thick but that it still gives me good protection. I am outside alot and have 2 young boys. I kind of considered the thicker Wrapsol skin as well, anyone used it? Any help would be great.
Try taking a look at the trident aegis, I have one for my Inspire and I don't get as much lint as I do with the otterbox commuter on my s2, though it does it still, I haven't noticed it anyway

hmm those look interesting, have you tried them?
I may have to try out an Aegis, I do like how it doesn't have the part covering the top front of the screen like the Otterbox; I see where they were coming from but I've considered trimming it off. I've been dealing with the lint and such lately, I don't like it but maybe I can convince the wifey to let me try the Trident one out
aside from the lint on the aegis, how does it grip the inside of your pocket when you take it out? is it really grippy like the otterbox is?

Has the one with stand, little bulky but does seem protect the phone well.
I had the Otterbox on my cappy and liked it ok but didn't realy want to spend that much again when I know I will be upgrading every year or so. I did some searching here on XDA when I got the SGS2 and found a link to "Acase" on Amazon. I have no complaints and it was under $10.00 when on sale.

Just finished searching for the Acase on Amazon and I get nothing but iPhone results. Added the SG2 in the search and it returns nothing but battery stuff or some ballistic style case that is just gawd awful.
Would you mind sending or posting a link, I have been looking for a light case for my Sg2 but cannot find anything that I like that will keep it close to its original thinness - dont want to bulk it up by adding a thick case
Thanks in advance

Is this the link to that case? It looks like it doesn't have the right cut out for the Noise Canceling mic.
It doesn't, but you can't tell
If he can tell there is no cut out just by looking at some pics, I'm sure staring at your phone w/ this case on it will be very much noticeable.

+1 for the Aegis, I have been using for about 10 days, love it! It does collect some lint in my pocket, and since I am a landscaper, some grass too! Not a big deal to just rinse it off and let air dry and put back on. The reason I went with the Aegis, is because it has a screen over the speaker phone, unlike the otter box, I did just order the otter box to compare, Ill let you know, but now I am looking at the Acase. The screen protector that comes with the Aegis is pretty weak though, not sure what to do about that, I hate the orange peel, Invisashield.
-nevermind the Acase, doesn't cover port and plugs a must have for me!
You are right no covers for phone jack or usb and the mic hole is off a bit but I just made a new hole with a drill bit. works great

Any good cases?

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)

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.

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

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.

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.
