Thanks. Any word on the HC?

well, from the photo they have up now, its only exposed if you don't have the last (optional, but included) layer on. I like having the butons exposed for normal use, then put on the outer layer when i know I might be someplace where i might need it (beach, lake, concert, ball game) to keep things out and protect from possible rain.
Yeah, I'm waiting for the HC. I mean, I want to get the SG, but the exclusion of a kickstand makes me sad.

Not that hard to believe, it was like what, six months, until they brought it out for the EVO.

Ballistic is losing out on a LOT of sales due to them always being so late in the game. If their HC case was available on the 3D's launch date, then I would have gotten it over the Defender. I know a lot of people who would have bought the HC instead of the Defender, but since the HC wasnt out then you only had one choice. Ballistic should have realized this with the Evo 4G when they were (as stated above) about 6 months late to release it. Testing and quality control is great and all, but when I only keep a phone for 1 year at the most, I'm not going to buy a case to use for only 4-6 months. I know many others feel the same as me in this aspect.... Oh well, Ballistic's loss and Otterbox's gain..
I've been thinking of getting a case with a little better drop protection than my knock-off case mate barely there case. So I've been considering the following:
Case-mate tough case, which people seem to like.
Otterbox Commuter - but has a fit problem, would have to wait for revisions to be out. A bit smaller than the Tough case.
Seidio active case - looks nice, but people have concerns about the plastic corners breaking.
The ballistic SG looks nice! Granted no one has it yet, but based on your experience with other phones, does anyone know how much bulk it adds to the phone vs these other cases? Obviously, the corners bulge. Thanks
Ballistic cases are usually a bit then other brands. BUT so far every manufacturer has slimmed down their cases for the 3D, so maybe Ballistic will follow suit....

I had the SG on my OG evo and have it on the 3d. It feels wonderful, and fits really well. Protects my phone perfectly fine on regular drops and I never feel like I have to worry.
I'm waiting for the HC for my 3D, I had one for my OG EVO. Best case eva.
any idea when the black/red will be released? And if people have experience with these cases before, how does the black/red usually look compared to the black/black. Is this finish nice or does it look stupid?
The black/red HC on my Evo 4G looked, felt, and held up awesome! May get one for my 3D also, depends on how my Defender is holding up when ever the HC is released...

I had signed up to be notified when the HC was available - and when I got the email about the SG, I ordered it without even realizing it wasn't the one I really wanted. So now I have an unopened SG case to return, but ballistic hasn't returned 3 requests for an RMA#. No response whatsoever. That's piss poor customer service. I finally just called them and got a very pleasant lady who just pulled up her email, searched by name, and said, "ok, yes, here is your email from Friday" (the 2nd email, 4 days ago. The first one was more than a week ago).
I'm huge on customer service. I'm going to return it and get the otterbox case. FYI - for those interested, she tells me the HC case will be available at the end of September.

End of september! Man EFF that. I was a fan of ballistic and dealt with my damn seidio rugged until the HC was available for the old evo. Ive had the otterbix since day one since the HC wasnt available. The otterbox feels and looks awesome. Otterbox took the time to make sure we had protection day one. Otterbox keeps my buisness
I loved the HC(red/black) on my Evo 4G. BUT, I now have a Otterbox Defender and will be in keeping it. No way I'm buying a $50 case at the end of September, may not have the phone more than 3 months after that. Otterbox well replace any of their cases without a problem AND have cases ready for us on launch day. Otterbox keeps me as a life long customer also. I dealt with Ballistic customer service once and they did not help at all. That and the fact they take way way too long to make cases available to us, it's just bad business and they will go under eventually unless the make some big changes/ improvements..... It's unfortunate.
Many people upgrade phones every 6 months. Not many will buy a case that they will only use for half of their time owning the phone. Plus Ballistic is giving their competition a 3 month head-start. Didn't they learn with the Evo 4G!?

A little bit off topic, but how is the defender? I'm put off by the screen protector just ending by the ear piece, as i think dirt and dust will get between the SP and the screen.
I have a defender for my HD2 and its done well for what ive put it through! but it seems to have a better solution for the above.
whats your opinion?
Also i asked ballistic if they would ship to the UK....They wanted $79.95 just for shipping + $49.99 for the case - (when they eventually make release one!) Thats_<counts on fingers>_ a $130 case + Import duty!!!

Just saw it today. Otterbox is going to have a case for the slide!
Otterbox dot come and look under HTC cases!
I saw it about a week ago. Its a bit basic looking, but knowing them it's as tough as a brick s%!t house. I own several of their products and can vouch for them. Great products.
Looks good, the more aftermarket support the better!
Finally!!
My only gripe is $35.00 for a case is off the chain!
But seeing as they'll be the only manufacturer of a good case
for this phone I'll shut up and pay.
Same, i had an otterbox for my BB. It was kind of a race, who would release my case first? Otterbox or Siedio? Looks like Otter wins.
Thanks drazile, finally something of what appears to be superb quality.
I ranted and raved to them wanting a case and was told basically due to the split slider design that they would not likely make one. I went back and forth for a month or more. Then finally ditch my slide for a vibrant and now I hear this! Well its still a great thing. Wife has my slide now so I may get one for her if I can talk her into giving up that god awful rhine stone monstrosity she has now.

Still listed as coming soon, I put my e-mail in to be notified when it will be available so I will let you know when I get it. Love this phone, but it sure hasn't gotten the love from accesory makers.

Which body glove case are your referring to? Hopefully it isn't the one sold through tmo. That case cost a decent bit and was total garbage if you took the case off more then a couple times. The real problem with putting a case on a slide type phone is that there is nowhere for the case to get a good grip. They rely on these thin tabs that must be thin in order to fit in the cracks and not cause friction, but being thin causes them to bend and wear quickly when case is taken off repeatedly. So if you have a couple batteries that you like to switch between, a case is likely not for you on this phone. Im hoping this otterbox case will be different somehow, perhaps very high quality tabs. I would love to buy one for my wife but I certainly wont be a guinea pig after that pos body glove case.
bulkyglove cases ...
This bodyglove case looks to have a bit better coverage on the screen part of the slide than the one tmo sells. My issue with the bodyglove cases (besides the faulty tabs) is the amazing amount of bulk they add to the device ... too much to warrant a purchase in my opinion. The otter box case looks sweet but I am concerned the demand has not prompted them to make a production run. If you're interested in the otter box case please sign up for it at the site so they know the demand is there.
Just got the email, the MT3GS Otterbox case is available: http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-myTouch...tch2-20101022&cid=emu-lch-htc4-mtch2-20101022
Yep, that is correct! It's available online.

But it only comes in black! That's fine for y'all with white or black phones, but I love my red one. Oh sure, some of the color would show as trim, but.....
That's not really an issue. How hard is it to remove and replace?
Looking forward to a review when someone gets one.
So who's going to be the guinea pig? I'm extremely disappointed with the Body Glove case tabs. After a couple months, I'm down to one tab, lol.

That's a downer I just ordered one from Amazon, but the bonus was it was only 12 bucks, and of course I got the e-mail from Otterbox about 10 hours after I placed the order that it was now available.
Sent from my Rooted myTouch 3G Slide using the XDA App
Sorry archie. You might have better luck than I did. It would've held up better if I didn't have to pull the battery a couple times. It's a solid case though. I'm still rocking it with 1 tab.
Has anybody tried these out yet? Just saw them on eBay today.
OtterBox Knock Offs
Their feedback is pretty good, but they haven't been selling these particular cases for very long. So, I'm guessing nobody that bought one has reviewed it yet.
Whatcha think?
Been thinking about one of these as a backup. @ 20 bucks might just go for it.
I like the Defender so much because of the camera protection. This knock-off leaves the camera area exposed, offering them no protection...Guess it all depends on your wants/needs, but this case also just has a cheap look to me..specifically the button/hole covers

Otterbox wants you to setup a crime scene before you can return a defective unit.

Quite the opposite actually. 95% of people who call in don't have to do anything to get replacement, myself included. I called them, explained the issue, he asked for my email address and mailing address then told me i would receive it in about a week, didn't have to do ANY thing. Plus get to keep the old one for a backup, nice!! Bet customer service anywhere!!

I pretty much guarantee you will get better customer support from otterbox than you will this knock off company.
I got an otterbox defender for my OG evo as soon as they became available. 3x I had to have it replaced (for minor issues) and 3x they sent me replacements with little to no trouble. I had to take a picture of the damage the first time.
Btw the replacements were for 1 the kickstand snapped in half and the other 2 were related to the holster cracking. (I was very hard on the holster, always bumping it into walls/doors lol)

I went ahead and got one full price 49.99 right after i bought my Evo. Could have waited---- but whatever.
I think this would be a good cheap alternative mainly due to the exposed buttons. The defender works as advertised but i might want a lower profile, easier access, less tapedeck looking case.
Ive had one problem with the defender. watch were you sit. The belt clip has a weak point and it will break if you hit it in the right spot.
Edit: On second thought- there is no way to make the Evo 3d not look like a a Walkman
I woul probably like the knokoff more if all buttons/ ports were exposed.
MMMM, Nom Nom Nom
I ordered the Defender. Got a discount from Retailmenot.com and really like it. Ditched the crappy built in screen protector and grabbed a zagg also got the discount for that at retailmenot.com.
I am suppose to be getting my otterbox in the mail tomorrow from fedex. I love the camera protection it offers. And the best thing is I got it for free, haha through best buy accommodations.

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.

OK, I'm not a fan. Its an OtterBox knockoff without the hard plastic case. But $9.00, you have nothing to loose!
Isn't it more like this one?

For the price I'd go with Technocel over ebay's version. I actually have it and it's quite nice.
Believe it or not they are the SAME EXACT item. Technocel asks a manufacturer in China to make it, then they make it for Technocel, then sell some on eBay themselves. I ran into the same situation with the following:
this Amazon case
and
this eBay case
SAME THING!
I got it on eBay for $2.95 + free shipping.
BoxWave was going to sell it for $19.95 and a shipping charge. I bought it from eBay, while BoxWave was having a pre-sale. (It would be shipped when ready.) People actually paid $19.95 for it.
I emailed the company and told them and their response was "I'm glad you found a similar case."
I sent them the links, and they replied "It is the same, because of this, we will lower our price to $9.95", and they did, but I got the case before it came out in the US directly from the manufacturer at a cheaper price.

The issue I see with this case as well as the Technocel one is the fact neither provide much screen protection in the sense that if your Motorola Photon 4G falls either face down or bounces on the ground and ends up face down, your LCD more than likely will shatter. If I'm not sporting the Otterbox Defender Series case for mine, I'll carry my Motorola Photon 4G in a Trident Aegis Series one. True, the Aegis Series cases don't have a holster clip like the one you reference or the Technocel case/holster combo Mongofrye, but I find the Aegis case by itself is thin enough for keeping in my pocket.

At the same time, both cases provide a lip that protect the screen. At the same time, you have a Gorilla Glass Screen. Now, I love Trident, and I would have a Trident case for my Photon but I could not stand not having a landscape holster. So, that is the only reason why I choose the Defender...
Trident does have wonderful cases though!
Go for the Trident Aegis if you don't mind being without a holster, guys! Great Case!.

i saw this one on amazon and figured it is like the one they sell at the sprint store. I like it because (minus the holster) it is very low profile.
I honestly like very basic protection. i hate adding tons of bulk to my phone. The one on Ebay looks different in the fact that it has a soft inside on the holster and the clip swivels in order to act like a stand. Could be used at a desk and you could flip it around to allow charging while in landscape mode.
Either way, i looked a little deeper into amazon and found i think the same one as the one you posted above for only $2.99 + .99 shipping. I went ahead and ordered it. I'll report back on quality.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L8APYQ/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details
In my opinion, the TPU cases provide probably the best protection with the least amount of bulk, but i just can't stand that there aren't cutouts over the volume and camera buttons. Such a pain. If anyone can find me one, i'll jump on it.
This is just another instance where the case is the EXACT same as the Technocel case listed above, and for this reason, I'm gonna go ahead and order it. Savingsss, oh, how I love savings!

price seems pretty steep for a silicone case. TPU cases usually go for the same amount or cheaper and they come off just as easy but offer more security than silicone cases.
if you jumped on the deal for the extra chargers for work, i would reconsider for something more reliable. i, and many others, would vouche for this car charger bc it charges nearly as fast as a wall charger and has a long track record, though i got it for $2 at the time:

all in all, this is just my opinion. im sure it will hold you by since its just for work

I hear what ur sayin but I waste so much money on stupid crap that I dont even care anymore. I might order one of these as well http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-EVO-4G-...946818?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c65691642
Or maybe ill just wait to see what comes out after the release date if im not happy with the silicone one.
A friend of mine has that motorola charger and I agree, it does work well.
If you end up being happy with it, then you got a great deal. If you notice that the silicon stretches over time, consider TPU, which is equally cheap. I understand exactly what you mean about throwing a lot of money away...
Just to update: I got the phone today and ive had the case for a couple days now. The case fits perfectly. Everything lines up to where it should be.

I prefer the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) cases, they add the least amount of bulk and provide adequate protection. I have one on my 3D and with a screen protector it has survived a year with a few light drops and is still in mint condition.
I ordered the same one on ebay as listed above (Smoke) and got it today, good seller fast shipping
Plus they are only around $5-$10 delivered! Compared to my wife's $40 otterbox that has been warrantied 4 times in less than 11 months!

Looks great, a little lighter smoke than the one I have for my 3D. Still allows for the red to shine through. I got Item #261030362042.
I'm in TX and got it in 2 days, never know with USPS and Monday is holiday.

Hey guys I just ordered this case/accessory bundle. I basically just need a case thats easy on/off for work. I dont use a case on my personal time. Im tired of the 2 piece seidio case on my OG evo so thats why I didnt go with another one for this phone. I got an email today saying it was shipping out. Anyone else thinking of ordering this too?

Awesome! Thanks for the input. Can't wait till they come in so I can check them out
I have the black one and I hate it. I only bought it cause it was the only one available at the time. The soft rubber feeling sucks, Its comes lose when I pull it out of my pocket. I'm using it for now, while I wait for a TPU case to come in the mail. TPU is 100 times better then silicone. This is the case I'm waiting on http://www.ebay.com/itm/26103187214...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1780wt_1154

The two links I just posted are for tpu cases. My original link was for silicone. I like the silicone one so far. No problems with it slipping off when taking it out of my pocket.
I saw the one in your link but I decided against it because I don't like the fact that the camera button and volume buttons are exposed. I like having them covered by the silicone/tpu.
Update: Got the 2 TPU cases in the mail. I hate them. The fit it way too tight. Its really a struggle just to get them on and off. They also ruined my screen protector because it caught the corner of it while putting the case on.
I will say however that once the case is on it has a very nice feel to it and it adds nearly zero bulk to the phone. Its a very tight fit and all of the buttons work perfectly with no problems. Being that im mainly going to be taking these on and off very frequently its not as convenient as just slipping the silicone case on.
