Just wanted to give you guys and gals a heads up about a new case. It's made by Seidio and looks and feels great on the phone. Adds a bit of bulk to the phone but comes with the holster. I'll try and get some pics up later tonight after the little one goes to bed. It goes for $34. 99 retail. My Best Buy got it in today so they should start being available soon.
Edit... Couple of pictures... Sorry the quality sucks.

My location just received them also today. It does not interfere with the noise canceling mic. The platinum series cases are exactly the same as the surface series cases by seido (they make them for best buy). Retail is $34.99 for the case and clip.
35 for both clip and case?!?!? Isn't that 50 on their own site

The best buy platinum series cases are garbage in my opinion. They're the lowest quality case on the market. They're thick and look cheap. They remind me of the chinese cases they used to mass-produce for the clunkers in the 90s. This is one of Best Buy's most profitable skus in the store, so they hock the hell out of them.
Seriously though, this line is about the worst on the market. They beat the hell out of the back of your phone, and they're so incredibly thick, and have absolutely zero aesthetic charm. There are soooo many better cases and more worthey companies you can support, and get better protection from.
I tend to use BodyGlove Mirage case with seemingly sturdy Platinum holster. Haven't seen either yet for I-777?????

I bet you look like I did in best buy when I tried one on my phone and couldn't get it off. It took a long time and a few sales associates to figure it out.
Use something small and sharp to slide in the minuscule crack along the backside where it joins. Then push that tool down to un-notch it.
That was enough of a PITA for me not to buy the case.

I couldn't disagree any more. The cases are manufactured by Seido which has an excellent reputation online for quality cases. It is their "surface" case rebranded. I will say that the all black color is kind of plain and may not have the "charm" you desire, however I like the simple look. They have felt inside the case to protect the phone from scratching so I'm not sure why you stated it beats up the phone.
To each his own as they say...

this isnt the only case hard to remove. the otterbox cases are just as hard ive had it on 3 different phones the iphone, captivate, and the atrix 4g. u will have just as much trouble and the outside skin covering the hard case on the otterbox will stretch to where it wont stay on. the platinum seidio case i had on my nexus was 10x better than otterbox and the same price and had 3 layers of protection versus 2 for otterbox.
I have had this case for about a month now and love it. I've tried a bunch of cases including the armor shield and I keep coming back to this case. I think its incredibly light and adds almost no bulk. Plus the holster is awesome. The back is a little tricky to get off but after you find the right place to apply pressure to its easy. Took me a few tries but I can unsnap it no problem now. I do like the snap it makes it feel secure.
One note, don't try and put and armor suit on your phone then put it in this case. It will not come back out without some serious prying. I actually am impresses the case is still fully functional with no scratches or anything after I practically had to pry it from the sides of the phone.

I have used Seidio cases/holsters on my smart phones for the last 5 years. On Black Friday, I went to BestBuy and bought 2 case/holster combos for $45. One of these is $49 on the Seidio site. So now, when the holster spring cracks in 6 months, I still have a spare. Quick review.... The case is snug, fits perfectly, has all the correct cutouts, and is secure. And it is easy to get on or off once you get the "feel" for the clip on the back. The holster build quality is the best I have ever had from Seidio. They clearly are improving their product. I have no concerns of it falling off my belt, or popping out of the holster. And it is still easy enough to get the phone out with one hand.
I just got this case/holster at Best Buy today.
I've been a Seidio fan for several years now, this is my 3rd Seidio holster. The previous ones (for HTC Kaiser and HTC Rhodium) didn't require a separate case - they just held the phone "naked". I do like that this case has holes for both the I777 and the international version's placement of the noise-canceling mic.
But ... yeah, it's a bugger to remove the case from the phone until you get the hang of it.
For giggles, I tried out my SGP Neo Hybrid EX bumper case with the Seidio holster - it fits like a glove, so that's another option.
Cool, what kind of screen protector that you have on your phone?

available on tmo website as well
24.99
I see its available for Samsung. HTC says coming soon?
Edit: You are right. Its available
yes they are at tmobile stores they expect more cases in the upcoming weeks
Do you have more pics ? Nobody shows it from the back .
I found this while doing some googling. Multiple different AMAZE 4G cases with D30 technology.

Just got it. Here are some shots
Thanks for the pics! Does it cover up the edges of the screen completely, so if you late it flat on its face that the glass is not touching the desk surface? Also, is the material the rubbery stuff that attracts lint like crazy and makes it tough to take out of your pocket? I am used to a TPU case that is pretty slick.

When laid on the surface, the raise is slight, but its there. The case is hard rubber. Feels durable.
i just picked one up at my local tmo store.. went last week and they only had a green/teal color... went today to pick up a black one .. seems durable-- hope it is!
so whats the difference between the D3O Protective Cover ($25), the D3O Band ($30), and the D3O Dual Impact case ($35)? I'm looking for the highest level of protection for my Amaze.
The dual is the highest level of protection.. It's basically a 3Do case with a hard plastic case over part of it. If you don't know what 3Do is wiki has some info on it. I read it last night..

Check out "InvisibleShield" by a company called Zagg. There are application videos on youtube...
Thanks for your response but let me rephrase, I want your opinions on what's a good case for my needs if someone owns one that they personally feel meets those or similar needs thats what I want. Thanks for the links I checked threads on different cases but i found that most are bulky for the more hard shell ones that have a tight fit, the thinner ones seem to not fit very flush n be a little loose. I only found one that seems to fit but it interferes with the volume buttons and is not very snug and its the diztronic case. Also I don't like the invisishields from zagg they feel awkward and the corners usually come up and get dirty from my experience with them.

The kickstand is nice, works vertical and horizontal, hard shell snaps on, does not come off easily.
I love this case I got from Ebay it is very strong hardcase, with soft rubber touch...It is very touch and does not disassmble when I dropped it on concrete..

Very Very happy with it, happier than many other cases I paid much much for.
Since its so tough its hard to get open and thats why many cases now come with crowbar, My moms did, but It was 15 dollars...so I use hers...I used to use a nail clipper end to just pry open the case (there's a space to stick the crowbar into, I tried using my nails but couldn't get it open and messed up my nails and hurt my finger lol, you need something thats not sharp but shaped like a flathead screw driver to pry it open, this is the case with most hard cases today...I would highly recommend this case.

+1 for the D30 its s great case. Good protection, fits snug, and doesn't interfere with and of the buttons or ports
screw cases, htc doesnt mind replacing the device once you tell them you not happy with it+they replace every accessory once, so even if u scratch, dent the backplate you can still get a new one for free
So I'm looking at the flip case made by Samsung and noticed the back cover is substantially thicker than the one that comes on the phone. It also looks like you could snip off the flap that covers the screen. I know, kinda defeats the purpose but at very minimum, you'll have better protection on the back....
Anyone actually like this case as is? I find it cumbersome for most situations and only see its value for covering the face while in a pocket. I'm thinking to chop the front off and use it just for the back.
Bring on the OtterBox!
As a side Note, the flip case back is also textured and does provide a grippier feel.

Returning mine
I bought mine at the AT&T store. The back of the case is the best part, it is superior to the provided battery backing supplied with the phone.
I feel like the flip cover can get in the way of certain actions, particularly talking photos. It makes holding the phone feel a little unnatural whether you leave the flip cover open to the side or folded against the back. For those two reasons I've gone back to the standard battery back and will be exchanging it for another case or a refund.

I've noticed the same while using mine, especially while taking pictures. I originally purchased one from at&t but have since returned it due to Best Buy giving me one for purchasing the device from them ( saved me $50). This is definitely a temporary case until new cases become available.
Anyone looking to buy the official flip case. Let me know Ian going to sell mine. PM me if u are interested.

Man I went to Best Buy to check this case out and for $30 bucs its about the biggest POS for a case I have seen..
Theres ZERO protection on any of the sides..I'm not even sure how it provides any protection at all really..
I ended up getting the Yoobao Slim case...theres some pics below..

Provides some good drop protection and is cheaper...Doesnt add much bulk and still fits in my pocket with no issues.
I agree its quite the POS for $30. But for free, it'll do..... Until a replacement gets ordered.

Yep... this.
I like the way the brown one looks ont he white but the front is pretty flimsy and they didn't put too much thought into the overall design. The fact that it replaces the back was a nice thought and helped keep the thickness down opposed to a lot of the journal/folio cases you see on Amazon though.
I'll still probably end up replacing it with one of the aluminum bumpers that looks really nice and offer some more protection.

The edge of the flipcover came apart on me today. it is peeling open. the edges are just heat sealed material around a thin plastic slab. have been using since launch day. i have Best Buy's GSBTP so if i drop it and it breaks, i'll just get another Note - so i am not too worried about the protection factor from drops. i like the idea of the flip cover, however it does get in the way of the camera and can make using the camera awkward.
i think the lines / grooves that show in a zagg shield would bug me...
hopefully i will find something i like...

Ok, I worded that really weird. When I work out, it's unavoidable to sweat, so using my Infuse, I would always have to wipe it down after I talked on it. Yeah, it sucked. But I would rather wipe it off of this, than my screen.
Is this the same one???
I got it for $9 and it protects the corners of the Note. Little flimsy but I thought it was worth the cost and am still using it after 4 days.

It all depends on which one you get. The surface is very nice for a day to day case which is what I have right now and it looks like the active is an inbetween. The convert combo is the most rugged of all of them. and the thickest.

I've used the Active combo on my OG evo, and the best PT one for my 3d. I'm in the same boat, and works really well...... I tend to have screwdrivers/screws/keys all the bad things in the world in my pockets

No. Get the surface case by Seidio. It's the best combination of protection and thinness:

I've been using the Seidio Surface case and holster with my original EVO and I *love* them. My ~2 year old phone still looks almost brand new.
Been waiting for these to become available, thanks for the heads up!

Agreed. Mine still looks close to new as well. Now if someone can just find a coupon for this, would be bonus.
I think I paid 19$ for my evo 4g active. Just kills me to pay close to full price of $30, when you know it costs like 20 cents to produce.
I have the active on my 3D and love it. Had the surface on my 4G and liked how thin it was but it fit loosely and scratched the edges of the phone. If they made the active with the kickstand accessible I would have ordered it yesterday. I need a case with a holster because I am a mechanic and can't keep my phone in my pocket.

I just want a Seidio holster, no case this time around! I have over $300 in Otterbox(all 3), Seidio, etc. cases for my Evo 3D just sitting in a drawer never touched. All I ever use is the $25-30 Seidio belt holster that I purchased on sale from Amazon for $2.95 and free shipping. Was the same way with my Evo 4G. I always go case crazy an buy most of the big name cases out there. Not doing it again this time!! I may buy 1 nice case just to be prepared if I'm out doing something where I'll need the phone protected. Otherwise just a Seidio belt holster an I'm all set!

That's the route I took as well....I always buy a Seidio case...this time I just got the holster for the naked phone. Tired of having a great looking phone that I never see. Unfortunately the damned holster showed up on Friday and it's sitting on my desk taunting me with the images of the phone that I am not allowed to have.
Plus no matter how good the case is, they can't replace the feel of the naked phone...
anyone know of the lowest price for the seidio surface case? (or coupon codes used to get it lower)
shopandroid and htcpedia dont have it
seidio is offering 10% off via code: FB10
but you have to pay tax (at least in texas) and shipping
also, the PT/Platinum series at best buy is the exact same case, but its $35 (at least online).

I usually get mine through Amazon, but I don"t think it will be available there for a while. I used show2012 for 15 percent off yesterday. Still seems to work. My sister just cracked the screen on her nexus. So its made me paranoid and I don't want to be without a case.
Ended up going with the active case this time. I had the rugged extended on my Evo 4g. Trying for something a little thinner this time. I'm too hard on my phone for just the surface case. Even after almost 2 years my Evo still looks brand new. Wife has the active and it feels pretty nice.
I have had a seidio case on my last 5 phones going back to the Mogul. I have cracked a few seidio cases, but there always was a pretty good drop associated with it. I look at it this way, If my phone cartwheels down a drive way and I trash the case, it did its job. Ill buy a new case.

i had the active (actually two different ones, I had to get a replacement shipped to me) on my evo for almost all of the last 2 years. i took it off a month or so ago because i got an extended battery. looks almost brand new.
Im going with surface because i think i can handle a little less protection based on my habbits (never cracked/broken any phone in 8 years as cell phone owner)
I have an active on my 3D and love it. Just wish the one for the LTE allowed access to the oe kickstand. I had a surface for my OG, but the edges of the phone got scratched from the plastic on plastic contact.

Thanks for the SHOW2012 code. It basically cancels out the shipping cost of 5$
Yup, the platinum series at BB is the exact same thing at $5 more.

Well, apparently amazon has the seidio cases already.
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSR3HT..._20?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337822438&sr=1-20
I just ordered it for 27$ w/shipping.
Still cheaper than seidio with the coupon.

That's my luck. Wasn't any available on amazon when I checked a few days ago and just got an Email today from Seidio. 5 off cases with MEM5 and 10 off combos with MEM10. Also I wanted to have it before I went back to work Saturday night. Ill have the case and holster on Friday. So only one day without protection.
Three different cases for $5 plus tax. I picked up a Casemate pop.
Filter by cases and then sort by price.

Thanks just ordered AGF case.
Thanks for shaing! Might order a Casemate Pop too.
I bought this for full price along with sgs2, very solid and light weight, saved my phone from many drops and highly recommend this.

Great find...FREE SHIPPING TOO!!
But you guys have had good luck with the pop? I have had a really bad time with echo on the callers side with several other cases.

Red; do you have the case yet? If so, is the echo on the callers side an issue with this case. I want to order it before the sale goes off but have had so many problems with echo on other cases..I hate to waste even 5 dollars again.

Got it over the weekend and I haven't had any complaints about echo. However, this case is thick! It no longer fits in my desktop dock and almost doubles the thickness of the phone.

hmmm..
I think I'll go ahead and get it. It is still on sale as of today. I guess with free shipping the most i'll be out is 5.40 anyway. I don't use a dock and I am thinking a little thicker might not be a bad thing for my big hands anyway. I'll let you know how mine is when I get it.

I really like the case, its about the same thickness of my platinum series or "seido" case. It's very lightweight with the phone in the case. I like the design a lot and it fits nice in my hand. It doesn't really feel like rubber but more like plastic, although it IS in fact rubber. The leather and stitching is on point, it gives it a nice look and feel. The side treads? Gives the user a good grip. Ive seen a lot of reviews saying it is hard to put the case on, but for me it wasn't even close to.being difficult. For $5 its a steal. High quality case seems like it'll be able to go through many drops without any problems. One more thing it hugs the phone very snug so you can rest assure that the phone won't pop out and it will stay protected. Here's pictures:
The buttons on the sides arent bad btw. The case does not affect my screen protector (rise along the edges or corner). Heres the inside of the case:

Looks good. I did not think the leather would look good, but it works on that case. I may have to just order that one too.
thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the heads up no this sale. I picked up the leather one. The pics look good.
thanks for the share grabbed the agf ~

Thanks for the review and pictures. I was on the fence about getting yet another case (I have 3-4 ebay specials I swap in & out), but the pictures really make this look sharp.
Just ordered, $5 for a $18 case is a steal.
