Getting my 3vo tomorrow. Heres what i bought - HTC EVO 3D

Here are the accessories I bought for my 3VO. (coming from OG EVO)
Anti-Glare Screen Protector
Trident Aegis Case
Class 4 16GB SD

Personally have not had a matte screen protector. But I have seen others saying it disrupts the way the 3d works, as in the 3d doesnt look or work as good with that type of screen protector.
I would love to hear your experience with it however.

Get otterbox bruhh I found out the hard way

what's a 3VO, do you mean a EVO 3D?

dont waste your money on an otterbox, invest in a ballistic case and youll be glad you did!

Also the official htc dock is really nice. Fits perfectly (not a mm too small/big), looks neat and even supports MHL (which is also a great thing to have). I don't like cases personally, the back cover is too nice to put something over it. I also don't have a screen protector cuz I always screw up putting it on (yes I tried) . I do have a nice official htc leather pouch (really cheap from eBay. Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-PU-Leat...657502?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c20fedb5e <-- one downside, doesn't fit perfectly.. top speaker bit is visible..) . Only 1 noticable scratch so far, after about 4 months

Ballistic case sucks I dropped my phone at our school stadium and scratched all four sides of my phone. Never do ballistic case. Otterbox defends yo stuff good. Doesn't matter what case you got they both work great bruhh.
Do a case you wont regred later when you drop your phone

I have bought a few cases and docks since I bought my phone almost 2 months ago. after tring a few things and the construction industry I'm in. This is what I bought and seems Like I have dialed in good. I have bought the
Otter Box Defender> http://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-Defender--Hybrid-Holster-Black/dp/B0054JGGB4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322927463&sr=8-1
and the Platinum case/holster from Best Buy>http://www.amazon.com/Platinum-Holster-Mobile-Phones-Black/dp/B006558R36/ref=sr_1_17?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1322927619&sr=1-17
Took them both back since if I get paint on it it will be hard to get off everyday. Also decided to keep my phone naked.
so I settled on this cheesy pouch this for when I'm painting to cover the phone from overspary and getting knocked around:
http://www.amazon.com/Leather-Prote...54/ref=sr_1_90?ie=UTF8&qid=1322927176&sr=8-90
when I'm home and for the weekends: I have the Seidio non-cased spring cliped holster:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Spring-Clip-Holster-Use-Non-Cased/dp/B0057UB4AS/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1322927991&sr=1-1
For the car got the iGrip car dock which is nice:

But not as universal and easy to take from car to car as the Exomount:
http://www.amazon.com/MSW-Exogear-Exomount-Universal-Mount/dp/B004Z8ZLOS/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1322928242&sr=1-1
I like the iGrip since it holds the car charger wire firm as not to strain the port in the phone from where I like the suction cup to go and the phone is very easy to put in and take out. The Exomount is nice since the suction cup is one of those sticky kind that will go anywhere, I used to to watch movies in the back seat, stuck to the rear seat which the iGrip might not of stuck to.
Regarding my wifes phone we stayed with the White Platinum case (from bestbuy) with the holster from my black case Platinum combo and she uses it on her purse. I do like the Platinum case but the white one seems to discolor from the sun it looks like

Yeah have the otterbox defender, have no complaints except for the holster. Smart to buy a case for it either way. One scratch is too many!

I agree. I hate scratching my phone. I like the otter but its just to big and thick for me to being carrying around in my pocket especially at work. And I'm not a fan of holsters hahA.

When you have your phone in the Exomount, does it bounce around? I want to get a mount that I can use with my 3vo, or Epic Touch, or any other device that I have.

Couldn't disagree more. Otterbox is hands down the best case. Spend the $50, buy a defender. Protects way better than the Ballistic case, backed by the company and smaller than a ballistic.

Okay, Yes the exomount does have a small ball and its not very stiff. (sounds like a horror movie ha!) If your bouncing around alot the phone does lose it's position and you have to realign it to face you. But that said its very universal and light and easy to just grab when you know you might need it. also its good for anyother device like other ipod touches & smartphones in the family.

Oh don't you worry about me, I got mine for $35 shipped.
However, $50 for a case that will keep your $600 phone safe isn't really an awful investment.

I went to BestBuy yesterday looking for a case and I saw that one. In my opinion, it has two problems.
1.- The kickstand is made of thin plastic, it might be functional, but it doesnt look very sturdy.
2.- (The biggest one) Once the phone is on the stand, the USB port ends up facing the table so you cant charge your phone and use the kickstand at the same time.
On the other hand, its the only option for now if you have to have one.
I rather wait until the official comes out or the dock.
The official HTC case for the 3VO will be just like the Thunderbolts, nice and slim with a meaty metal kickstand.
i bought the body glove vibe cover from the sprint store and love it. it only comes in purple that i know of. it is 24.99 and i received 25% off for buying two accessories.
edit it fits perfectly in the car dock from sprint.
I shelled out the 35 for the kickstand case (pt) from BB. More than I would usually spend on a case but it doesn't add much bulk at all and the kickstand is nice to have. It does seem on the fragile side but it locks in pretty good so I don't think it will pop out when it's not supposed to. There are 2 settings - out and out a little further. The 2nd enables you to stand it in portrait and thus charge the phone. Not a perfect case, but pretty nice.
The body glove kickstand idea looks cool but it looks bulky and well ... it's purple.

I got this yesterday also...I really like it, and I'm not a case-kind-of-guy! My OG EVO, no case, perfect condition not a single mark on it. I feel this phone has to have it just to be able to set it down safely without scratching the camera lenses which I did on my first E3D within 4 days, not good! I feel a lot more safe with this case and the cheesy little kickstand works fine. Was hoping it would still fit into that HTC car mount but no go. Picked up the universal car mount at Sprint and I am a happy E3D owner!

Otterbox Defender Plastic Holster crap plastic

I got one of these cases and it's already broken where the clip doubles as a kickstand. Go to put the phone on my belt and the clip catches.. try to unclip and it breaks.. Not only that had the phone fall out of the case already once. I'm returning it.. How can I trust the rest of the case if the holster plastic is not unbreakable plastic? Probably made out of cheap China plastic!
So any recommendations for alternative cases I haven't had this case for more than a week and I'm returning this defective junk case to Radio Shack to get my money back for defective manufacturing!
Wow I have had my defender case since the day the Evo 3D has been released and I have had NO issues with it. That clip you are talking about doesn't work as well as a kick stand as laying the holder upside down on the "clip" that is normally on the top..
It is actually a very durable case and I work in a hostile environment so it would break if it was going to. You must have gotten a bad unit or using it wrong.
Rodney
Agreed. 5 EVO units later and returned my 3D case on the 2nd. Otterbox customer service is also shakey. Some reps are very helpful, others aren't. I will take my buisness otherplaces. Don't just recognize the problem, fix it!

I've also had mine since the day I bought my E3D. No problems here either and I do highway construction! I also have one for my Epic and original Evo. Hands down the best cases I've ever owned. Sorry to hear about your bad luck bro, try returning it for another one. On a side note, I'm on my 4th E3D because of dead pixels and light leakage......LOL!
Just email customer service that its broken and they will send you a new one.
don't forget to bring a towel!
I have one and love it! The case is freaking hard to take apart, i don't see how the phone would have fallen out... especially with the silicone around it too. Anyway, Ballistic has pics on their website and they say coming soon. Keep checking there, or give them your email and they will contact you when available. I had the HC on my Evo4G and LOVED it!!

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.

Well I have the TPU case on my phone right now and it fits like a glove and I even dropped it once and it was still in mint condition all the holes line up perfectly as far as a screen protector I just applied the xtreme guard screen protector a few minutes ago but so far can't even tell its on there. I got all of it the TPU case and the screen protectors for less then 15 dollars.

Body Glove Amaze 4G Shell w/ Kickstand - Silver

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..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270855293133&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123
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

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?
http://www.amazon.com/Technocel-Hol...QO/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1326241379&sr=8-12
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!

We all love savings, but not at the cost of quality! Same reason I told you I'm swapping my 32Gb MicroSDHC for $127.00! I have seen a few cases/protectors that look great, but OtterBox seems to do it for me.

I have the Defender also, but since we started this thread I have been thinking, I have no clue WHY I have the Defender vs. the Commuter? 99.9999999% of the time it's either in my hand or sitting on mouse pad so I can change music playlist? he**, even in grocery store its in my hand or the cart!! Truck has dock? IDK!
I see what you're sayin', bro. After using the defender for about 3 months straight, I get tired of it. I use another case for a few weeks then I switch back.

I might go naked for a change of pace. Last time I cleaned it I forgot how beautiful it was!
I know what you're sayin, man!
I'd be scared sh**less to leave it naked when I am outdoors, though.

Ok, 0.03" but I did not want to brag!!
You're about to get banned. Like I said Quit While You're Ahead!!!

Any good cases?

I'm pre-ordering my phone today probably.
Would rather not pay $30-40 for a case at Sprint.
eBay doesn't have any yet.
Looking for a standard plastic case.
(Preferably snap on case)

Will do, thank you. =]
Seidio currently has two, the Surface and the Active, and I'm certain Best Buy will have some sort of combo available when it releases next Friday as thats what they did when the original EVO came out.

I'm getting the commuter and a set of really nice screen protectors for this. I had the Defender for my DInc2; it was too bulky and the built in screen protector sucked a lot. It got dirty really easily and dust got under it too well. I'd rather have a slimmer case and a quality screen protector.
The accessory I'm most excited about is the Media Link though. It's a pretty penny, but that will be a really cool feature. Emulators on your TV with your phone as the controller. It's gonna be real nice.

Leather pouch probably, but fitted case I doubt. They are designed completely differently with similar internals.

i like the defenders shock absorbtion but i dont want a screen protector.. and i say this for one main reason.. ive never liked the way they look.. but also in the 2 years ive owned the evo and the year my wife has owned hers never once has the gorillas glass scratched.. and she abuses hers a lot more then mine.. so unless i can remove the screen protector on the defender ill prolly go commuter

I had a defender for my Evo OG and I was able to remove the protector and use my phantomskinz. It was just held in with some type of adhesive and it actually made a pretty good seal with my screen protector.
So if you want to go without a protector, I would imagine it shouldn't be a problem to remove.
Is there a band to go around it? Similar to how the iPhone antennae issue was "fixed". I don't want a case, but I would like a ~2mm lip to protect the glass when laying face down.
Edit: After some googling, apparently they are called bumpers. I can probably get a cheap-o from ebay after release. Does anyone have any experience with a bumper case?
I'm hoping for Trident to release a case... i love their Aegis on my E4GT...i wont consider another brand

I emailed the TPU-cases guy to see when they would have them ready as I usually buy from him AND will probably buy another one from him once they are ready BUT I did go ahead and order one of the TPU cases from the HTCPedia shop http://shop.htcpedia.com/htc-evo-4g-dura-gel-tpu-case.html
Says it should ship "on or before 5/11" so we'll see...
I liked the hard snap on platinum cases from Best Buy. That gun metal color. Hope they have those again.

The only thing I didn't like about those was mine interfered with my screen protector. Meaning it peeled up the edges when I went to put it on.
I will prob be getting the Active Combo from Seidio.

I saw that one too but come on.... 12.99 for a tpu case. That's quite steep. I'm used to paying like 3-5 dollars. I think I'll wait lol.

TPU-cases.com are usually $8 or so in the early stages and then once more knockoffs come to market you can get cheaper. Honestly, I would pay evwn more as long as I have a case the day my phone arrives that I know I will like. Put a case on as soon as box is open and phone will look like new next year when it's time to upgrade, again.
