I get my Evo on Tuesday but was wondering what to get. I like extended batteries and an extended case for my phone. I drop my phone alot so I want a strong case. Any input would be appreciated!

I got a Ballistic SG case for mine. it has pretty good drop protection but it does make the phone a bit bulky. Feels good and solid in the hand though...
I had the black/black one but exchanged it for a black/red. Kind of regret that now, the red finish isn't as great but the black/black one has a very classy look to it.
You could also wait for their hardcore model to come out but that's a bit overkill
here's a link: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/htc-evo-3d-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Otterbox Defender offers great protection and their customer service is the best. Ballistic HC isn't out yet, and their customer service sucks. TPU-CASES.COM has a great selection an their in the US, if you want just moderate protection. Otterbox Commuter has mid level protection but the silicone stretches over time. But, Otterbox will keep sending you new ones at no charge when they stretch out, and they're working on an update where the silicone fits better.

Has a TPU case that fits their 3500mh extended battery. The case is about $10 and the battery with back is about $12. W/ Free shipping . I ordered mine yesterday. I'm hoping the back will fit the 2 4000mh seidio batteries I have, or be as good of batteries as seidio.

Tpu-cases.com gave me this info when I asked if they were making an extended case. Tpu-cases.com cases are the best, I was hoping tpu cases.com would make an extended seidio case. My seidio extended active case sux. The Seidio batteries I found for cheap on eBay and work great . if the seidio bateries don't fit my new back, and the moretalktime batteries are as good, ill offer the 2 seidio batteries and extended active case for sale here. $1 starts bid.

I got a reply back today from otterbox. I asked if they planned on making a case for the note. They said they're working on the otterbox commuter case for the note as we speak and should be available soon. Thought I would post just in case anyone was interested.

I had an Otterbox case for my Streak, and loved it, but I have to say that I am shocked at the quality of this generic case I got on ebay for like $8! Head over to the accessories forum and you'll see some pretty happy campers who spent less than $10 for a case...

I have used Otterbox cases in the past but the last time i checked they were listing the case for the G Note at 56$ Um they can kiss my business g buy. I got a very good Reiko case from a seller on ebay for 8.88$ delivered The Reiko case is everybit as good as a defender from over priced otter! I tend to be from the school "ya get what ya pay for" but the Reiko case even has a kickstand, flap covers that cover charging an earphone ports.
I had bought one of those off brand cases for my ns4g on amazon. It came with a stylus and like 3 screen protectors for 10$! They're are some good deals out there so I agree. I seen that reiko with the kickstand think I seen a red/black one. I might have to get it. I bought the flipbook (hated it before I took a chance) I was surprised tho. Note looks sexy just doesn't offer much protection in case of a drop

Otter says on their site that they sell their own products higher on their site then what their resellers sell for b/c they would rather you buy through them but won't refuse money. So the price quoted is always higher then what is available once they start shipping. I bought a commuter for my Vibrant and loved it. I did break it eventually and that happened by removing it so many times. I just wish I could get the Defender for this thing. I may have to look at some of the knock offs out there for such a dramatically lower priced case. I still just want a nice (brown) leather belt clip holster since leaving the tie off is considered a casual day at work for me.
Otter box return policy
Even tho theirs prices are little higher than the norm, the have excellent warranty policy and will pretty much ship you a complete new case if need be, providing you date and name the pictures. I've received a couple through this process (All defenders cases), ex complete case (SGN), replaced several holsters (Iphone, Backberry, Nexus S)

I agree. I've done this too and for that service I'd gladly pay a bit more.

They included an amazing screen protector with my iPhone 4 commuter case also (better IMO than this SGP one that I'm using).
I will probably pick one up, especially if it includes their protector...

I've had an Otterbox on every device I've had so far (iPad & iPhone). They really make some great cases (a bit costly but worth every cent). I can't wait until I can get one for the Note.
I love otterbox too, however, I needed something right away. I'm a bit to clumsy to gamble on a $750 device. I ordered an "active" case from Seidio, they are similar to otterbox except no screen protector (I use zagg anyway). One thing I like about Sedio products over otter is the options. It's a three layer case with the first layer having the capability to be a simple standard case. Check them out if you don't feel like waiting.

Please advise on the product you ordered. My main concern is the holster not being sturdy enough like the Otterbox.

For that matter, the Otter Box is already being discussed there too (same OP? not sure)

I've used their case with holster for my charge, the belt clip has held up very well. I was mistaken on my first post. I thought this was the equivalent of the defender series. After looking at it again, I see that it is more like the commuter series from otter box but with a holster. Still a great case/holster combo in my opinion. I can't post a link yet, but check out the online store at seidio.com.

The dude at the ATT store told me Otterboxes were "bulky pieces of crap".
Then he proceeded to try to sell me a Speck case for FIFTY BUCKS.
I had to pass I too am looking forward to a commuter case.
Moved to Accessories​
As this is a post about accessories it should be in that section​
I have received confirmation from my otterbox rep that cases are in the works
I've received my case from Seidio, and I like that it doesn't make it that much thicker. On a phone this size, any bulkiness may be a bit to much. I'm also glad to hear that otter is working on one as well. I have a gift card for them and would like to compare cases.
Either way, the active case from Seidio is what I expected. I also cut my own custom screen protector from a HD Zagg designed for the kindle fire. I think the stylus works better with the HD version then their standard protector.

take some pics! thats the one i want, though i can't decide if i want it in white, red, or purple.
and i figured the hd would do that. hope they release it for this phone.
My dad recently bought HTC EVO 4G LTE, but he doesn't have a case yet. I'm thinking buying him a case for coming up Fathers' day. I don't know that many cell phone accessory providers, and I don't wanna get him something cheap ones from Amazon or eBay. It would be great if you can recommend me a specific product for my dad, or it can be just a name of the store.
Thank you in advance.
Well, if you equate cost with quality, you'll get recommendations for Otterbox or similar. But I just got my new Diztronics TPU case and it's fantastic, and it was only $10. That's my recommendation.
There are tons, likely have to be ordered so be fast. It all depends on how bulky/slim you want it. There are a few threads here, just read up.

Thanks for the replies. i will look through the list of EVO 4G cases.
Thinking about picking up a Seidio surface case. I just wish the power and volume rocker buttons were uncovered.
I recommend this one there are one with the holster for $50 and another one for $24 without the holster it looks awesome
its from seidio

best case in my opinion and they come in different colors and are $9!!!

I have two driztronic. Matt black is the only way to go. The gloss is kinda sticky.
VERY impressed. Make sure whatever you do don't buy a plastic case if it doesn't have some sort of gel on the inside. They will scratch the crap out of your phone. I had two Seido's for my OG EVOs and they marred the finished on the edge of the phone TERRIBLY.
The defender is amazing great quality so far. Thinner than previous evos. Put mine next to my girlfriends shift and they r almost the same thickness

Just got my diztronic tpu case nicer than I expected.
I've only used skins on my phones (Phantom skinz etc) since I wanted to avoid thickness but this tpu case is thinner than I expected.
Highly recommend
There really isn't much selection out there right now. Wondering what upcoming cases you guys are anticipating announced or not. I personally, am hoping that someone puts out a sview knock off that is more practical, and a bit cheaper.
$50 is my absolute limit for a case.
Interested to see what cases you guys, are looking forward too.
I wish I could get GodyGlove hybrid case. This case saved my Note 2 from falling.
But now I have to settle with Tech21 for now.
UAG Scout with the dot/dash pattern
Body Glove is usually good about having cases out at launches but I'm sure they will release a Fusion case with stand soon I hope. I also love Speck slim clear cases and again no idea why they don't have one out at launch.

With Note II I had the original flip case and I was very happy with it. Again now with Note III I seem to like wallet flip case most.
Ideally I'd love something like wallet flip case with no logo in the outer part and made of high quality leather.
