Anyone know of any cases w/kickstand that cover the camera as well. Both the Seidio and Luxmo have a large cutout that just leaves the camera wide open. Looking for a kickstand case that has specific cutouts for just the lenses and speaker like TPU cases have.

Just looked it up and that case looks extremely bulky. Looking for a something a little more minimalistic like the Seidio Surface case.

I haven't seen anything that has a kickstand and covers up the camera and isn't bulky at the same time. I just got my Trident Kraken II case which has a nice kickstand and protects the camera, but it is fairly bulky. I would recommend it over any of the others, though... If you find a case as you described, post it up, as I might be interested as well.
I really like my Luxmo case. It would be perfect if it had a little more protection for the camera.
Just an idea, why don't you get the slim cases and slap on a cheap screen protection sheet on the camera glass?
Takes a few seconds to cut to the right size, but being slim is supposed to be tough.
Check out the Seidio Active case with built in kickstand. You can find it on Amazon for about $30. I bought Best Buys version of the active case without the kickstand (I didn't know they had it with a kickstand until a few days after, but I don't think Best Buy sells it). I am pretty happy with the case. It offers great protection for the whole phone & the camera. Only complaint is when trying to touch the extreme sides of the screen, the case can get in the way a little bit. I miss the kickstand!

The seidio surface case has a lip around the camera that is a bit taller than the camera cut out. So when you place the phone screen face up, the camera will not touch the table.

Thanks but would prefer that as well as the camera being covered. It's beyond me why no one has released a thin case with camera protection and a kickstand. I picked up a good silicon case for less than 2 quid off amazon. Surely it wouldn't be that hard to add a kickstand to that type of design.
The only thing out there that fits what your looking for is a ballistic hc case just dont put the outer rubber layer

I just looked it up and that might be exactly what I'm looking for. Do you have this case? How thin is the profile on just that inner shell with the kickstand?
Do u have a link for it? The one I checked out doesn't have a camera cover or a kickstand.

I also recommend the Ballistic HC, you have the choice on whether to use all layers, which will be bulky yes, but using the 1st and 2nd will be enough, plus you can re-attach the kickstand if it pops up, which i find really well thought of.

I use the elago slim case. It's fits really well and doesn't add any bulk. I got it off amazon for around 18 bucks after shipping.

Does it actually hold the phone well? I have the elago S4 case and would love to use a holster like that

I have this case and I've got to say that I feel it makes the note too bulky. It certainly adds as much protection as you would ever need although. And maybe I'm doing something wrong but when i take it off, I feel like I am going to break my phone in half. Its very hard to take off which I do often for battery pulls. Ya know?
Anyways. Just ordered some "slim" case off amazon one of the top rated ones. Should be here in a bit and I'll try that one out.

I got a clear one, both form and function are just fine. Got it from this guy $1.99 delivered.
Try fortte.com. They will customize any case in anyway shape or form as you instructed. Bought two cases for HD2 and Mesmerize.

Ballistic cases in my opinion are the BEST out there! Period. The have a bit of bulkiness due to the amount of protection they provide, but still feel nice in your hand. Coming soon I hope!

If you want a case close to otterbox quality, then get a Reiko case off Ebay. It 10 buck cheaper, but feel like 35.

Haven't tried the seidio case but the defender is better than commuter by far. Offers more protection imo
So true man. I only buy the defender.

i too use otterbox defender.. but its too bulky but worth it
Ballistic is sick. Got a 5 layer protection against water . Dirt. And of course crashes or smashes. The outer rubber protects your usb charge, Jack. Camera buttons .making it waterproof (or at least for some time, before u take it out lol) . Price is ONLY....$25! got mine for $20

I have been using Seidio HEV3D case.... Love it. Thin case with good protection and the included kickstand is just gravy!
I like the defender but the edge is too close to the screen making certain keys hard to hit on keyboard.

Ok so my Otterbox Defender just came and I love it! I do, however, have one problem with it. The attracted screen protectorgives the screen an oily look that is really frustrating to look at. Does anyone know how to fix this? What have you all done?

It's different from any of the otterbox defender I've used for any EVO but feels very nice on the hands

Great review
Here is what it looks like
I went to my Best Buy but they didnt have the Otterbox yet.. I had already preordered one on Amazon.. Does it still have a protector built in for the camera? Also can you take a picture of the phone on its side vs the case on its side?
No it does not

Can you post a side by side comparison of the phone with the case and the phone without?

I'm surprised the defender has a slot for the kickstand. I think the OG Evo did not have one.

The Otterbox Defender for the OG had it's own plastic kickstand that covered the phone's kickstand.
I am surprised too that the LTE's defender case uses the phone's kickstand.
I would have liked to have seen a rubber cover, similar to the port covers,over the top of the kickstand.

Sorry it took a while for me to post these pics but here they are
here is a better quality
Thanks for the pictures!
How does the phone feel with the case on it? It looks bulky as hell. XD
looks huge. all these cases are friggin huge, how can they fit in your pocket comfortably.
yeah it does but I need it because I do have the habbit of dropping my phone alot
its bulky just waiting for the commuter to release might want to get that as well
I batter my phones a lot being a firefighter. They go in pockets with a ton of stuff in them. I always get the defender in case if I drop it from the aerial when doing events or something (which I have done and I do believe the case has saved my phone) plus it comes with the belt holster that doesn't come with any other OB case.
The rubber is new and better imo its not the lint sucking rubber from defenders past the port covers work better also

They didn't have the Otterbox when I picked up my phone yesterday.
I went to the same Best Buy today with my Buddy to pick up his and they had them in stock.
Got them to give it to me for $40.
I like the bulk it adds.
The phone felt so Fragile to me and now it feels like a tank!
The only downfall the Kickstand is hard to access.
Looking for a case just to be able to grip the phone better. Screen should be fine, as it's made from the good stuff.

Check the Amazon website. They have a lot of cases and/or holsters for good prices.
I would recommend the Otter box commuter case, not to bulky has a nice feel and most important protects the phone just fine!!
Sounds like you want minimalistic. Go get a Cruzerlite TPU case on Amazon. Like $10, and way less bulky than the Otterbox cases. Trust me on this one, you'll love it. There's a thread on it in the Accessories Forum with pics.

I just recently compared my phone with this case with someone who has the same phone in a Commuter case, and he was quite impressed by the much less bulky case I had, and is likely going to buy one to replace his Commuter. Cheaper, thinner, lighter, more stylish.

If you are only looking for a better grip and don't care about drop protection get a tpu case.

I'd say this is the case judging by the OP. Commuter wouldn't necessarily be as good for grip.
As always, I'll put in a plug for the Diztronics Matte Back TPU case.

I think Cruzerlite and Diztronic are two separate companies selling TPU cases actually. Just to clarify.

Recently bought this case and and screen protector combo. I wasn't expecting a whole lot considering the price, but I must say I am very pleased with the quality of both products.
I used the casemate barely there case on my OG EVO for a while, and while I liked the case, it scratched the **** out of the sides of my phone. If the design is similar, I would stay away.

otter box makes great cases and there warranty is beast!!!! :good:
My wife and I bought the $1.99 (black) & $2.99 (pink) cases from Amazon. They're just as good as the $25 HTC cases we had for our OG EVOs.
Even if you're super tough on the phone and case, you could still buy a few of them for less than most other cases.
