Awesome TPU case, check it out! - HTC EVO 3D

so i was browsing around and stumbled upon this beauty. i thought it looked awesome, so i ordered. ill let everyone know when it comes in. i like it because of the slim profile, cool design and for the fact that it covers the delicate camera glass. speaking of that, does anyone know if that part is gorilla class?
anyway, i have a defender from otterbox but i think ill like this a lot more. heres the link

dont forget to say thanks!

U can buy 5 of those on eBay for 10 shipped

Lol three threads down.

Wow. Could have saved some money, and got 4 more cases! You know, it actually helps to read the forum you are going to post in. Not only does it help you, but it also helps to not fill our forums with worthless threads...
Can a mod please lock this thread, or merge it with our tpu thread?

Wow I didn't realize and I jumped the gun. My apologies. I'm definitely not trying to be annoying or bloat the forum. But take it down a notch it was simply and accident.
But yes, will a MOD get rid of this for me?

[Please Delete or Move] OtterBox Commuter for sell

I'm selling a OtterBox Commuter Series for HTC Evo 3D (Black) i just got on Saturday, I used it for one day only, it's missing the screen protector, $20.00 ,PM only please!
I guess nobody likes Otterbox or maybe the price?
The Commuter has fitment issues that every one knows about, though it is still a great case. You should post this in the Marketplace though, this is the wrong section to sell stuff in...

Aluminum bumper for $65 down to $18

If you guys remember the all aluminum bumper available on ebay for $65? well the silver one is down to a much more palatable $18. just ordered mine and it should be in in a week are two. unfortunately the black one is still $65. links are below.
Silver:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SILVER-PREM...ccessories&hash=item3cc015e263#ht_2335wt_1139
Black: (reference)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-PREMI...ccessories&hash=item3cc015de5e#ht_2335wt_1139
EDIT:
ok so i've had the case for a couple weeks and have had time to thoroughly examine it...
IMO it is a beautiful case, it does make the phone larger much like every other case. at first it does feel larger because it has a wider girth than most other cases. you will get people to comment saying "thats a big phone" it happens alot lol
the edges near the screen are actually a little sharp, the company didn't smooth the edges very well. its not gonna cut you or anything like that but it is noticible for the first few days, much like its size. another con is that many 3.5mm headphone cable don't fit well if they are very wide cables...the headphones i use and the aux cord in my car fit without a problem but the one in my mom's car (tape to 3.5mm adapter) does not fit, nor does the one i use to play music on my home theatre system.
it is a beautiful case and adds a good amount of weight, both giving it a more premium feel...overall i'm happy and will suggest it to anyone. with the only con being that some headphones may not fit, all other you can easily get over. i bought the silver one and mixed it with a blue brushed aluminum textured skin from skinit.com, and it looks sexy haha
i like it, but if you want a small case that you'll barely notice, i'd choose a different case
i want black....

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-IMPAC...ps=63&clkid=6962411047160117429#ht_1402wt_970
Looks pretty close, but the Ballistic might be a little more slim around the corners. Pretty good for the price though until the "real" one comes out!
Not much info on it, but let me know how you like it.

I don't think it's about getting feelings hurt, it's more about what's appropriate and what's not. When people read your signature and see that, they will think that you live your life not caring about what others think and acting inappropriately. People will look down on you and there outlook on your life can effect their trust for you and your opinion.

Just got mine as well. I like the design and the fit is good, but the rubber is a little "loose" for me. The real ballistic case will be MUCH firmer and might cut the "bulkiness" in areas. For 14.00 shipped you can't beat this case and the black/white combo looks great with a white phone imho. It will be protected from drops and can sit face down and not touch the screen.
I got mine on I like the fell of it .

"LIMITED EDITION" Carbon Fiber Evo LTE!!

VIEW IN WEB BROWSER PLEASE, THIS HAS A POLL AND IS NOT VIEWABLE IN THE XDA APP!!! ( in app tap menu, web view)
Just kidding guys! No limited edition, just ANOTHER hardware mod by me!! I THINK, (just my opinion before people start flaming me), I THINK this is how the phone should have come. Clean, simple, and dare i say it... elegant. lol
My other MOD found here... http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?12966-hardware-mod-my-evo-lte!!!-) OR here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683083 (I hope no one is mad about my little joke???)
I used a Dremel and some small grinding bits to remove the red from the camera, a wire brush bit to remove the red from the kickstand and covered the top and bottom of the device with carbon fiber vinyl. I also applied a small strip on vinyl under the kickstand just for something different!!!
UPDATE: Link to a how to video (not mine) on YouTube. It's a decent one that gives you an idea of what can be done with this stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMhvU8Dk3CE&feature=g-hist

Yes, sorry. You can for sure remove it. The phone needs to be disassembled though. Remove top cover and bottom cover, then the 4 screws under the bottom cover and the 5 screws under the top cover. Then the 2 on the left side for the kickstand and the 3 others. Then you can push down on the bottom to seperate the screen and circuitry from the metal rear housing. After you have the metal rear housing seperated from everything else, turn it over to find the other 4 screws that mount the kickstand to the aluminum rear. After those are removed, the kickstand is free!

I think it's a long shot that people will be willing to send you there Evo's just for the mod.
I personally wouldn't mind donating a few bucks for a thorough "how-to" video or write up. If I remember correctly, the carbon fiber is really easy to install, all you need is a blow dryer but as far as the kick stand goes, i'm not familiar with sanding and whatnot
Edit: I guess i must eat my words. I didn't see the poll at first.
Regardless, please give us a DIY! I really want to try this

That is honestly a pretty cool mod for the phone. It just wouldn't be useful for me due to the fact that I use an otterbox case on my phone. I would never get to see the good looking carbon fiber.

Self Made Phone Cases

Hello people!
I was pretty frustrated with the fact that markets are only flooded with iPhone covers and devices like our L9 barely have any accessories available. I had a Galaxy Mini earlier and faced a similar challenge.
So I resorted to making covers myself!
You can check out the photos over here.
I could make a jacket type or a pouch type, with or without a stylus pocket, with or without camera and speaker slots. I could colour it the way you want and write whatever you want or leave it blank for you to do your own thing. The first few pictures show a one with a plastic pocket on the back to slide in a paper. The photograph in that model can be removed and replaced.
The main ingredient to the covers is newspaper. (Reuse!!)
The covers are decently tough even though they are made from newspapers. They have a layering of cardboard to give them extra strength and fevicol too gives them a lot of strength. The top covering is with a mixture of fevicol and water applied on tissue paper which also strengthens the whole thing.
I paint using acrylic colours because of two reasons--1) They are waterproof. They wont let the phone get wet unless you drench the whole thing. 2) That is what I have at home and I am too lazy to go to the market.
If somebody is interested in buying one, you could Email me at [email protected]
I only have the following phones and can only make covers for these.
Samsung Galaxy Mini
BlackBerry Curve 8900
LG Optimus L9
iPhone 5
P.S. Yes, its DBatraOriginals.
Putting #swag at the end discredited your whole post.

Can't even express how ugly and terrible it is.
Buddy it s awful :laugh:
:highfive:
Thing is there is actually a decent selection of cases for the L9 on eBay, you just have to do a little digging. Hell there are Nilkin cases for less than $10 and brand new from various eBay retailers (I ordered one myself last week). Or you can get the S-line cases for less than $4. All of them come with free shipping.
Just search "optimus l9 cases" and you get a lot of results. The main problem is that there aren't enough cases and acessories in local phone shops but it's much cheaper to get it online anyway. I'm never going to buy cases or screen protectors from regular stores again (i've wasted too much money unnecessarily), i'm sticking to online lol.
