is there a case, other than the otterbox, that has plugs for the different ports? i've been trying to find one on ebay and they all leave the usb and hdmi ports open. i would like to cover them up so nothing gets stuck or plugged up in the ports. my friend has an og evo and his usb plug is shot due to the corrosion from his pocket plus all of the lint. he is getting a new one with insurance, but i want to avoid that if i can.
thanks
Nope. As far as I know otter box is the only one that has those flaps. Its either the defender or the commuter.
You can get little plugs off ebay.

Thats the one I had! I think you'll like it
How thick is it? Does it feel bulky in your front pocket? Or look like "you're happy to see someone "?
Anyone have one of these? http://www.ebay.com/itm/190606338045 it looks a little thick on the back.
I'm looking for a case that covers all the ports (HDMI, USB, Audio) but is also fairly thin, I have a TPU case atm so I wouldn't want to go thicker than that, hows the thickness in the Commuter case compared to a TPU case?

The only other case I'd trust my MoPho in other than my Otterbox Defender Series one is the Seidio CONVERT™ Combo.

Thats nice right there, I like my Defender though. I want something in a different color though. Red or yellow to make me stand out. But like the original poster, I want it to cover EVERYTHING!!
I have the otterbox commuter an the trident aegis. They both cover all the ports but the commuter's flap is flimsy and pops out a lot. The trident on the other hand is better in every way. It also has color options.

I'm on the red or blue, maybe both. I wish they had a belt clip option, which kinda leaves me in the air about Trident?
I use a Nite Ize case. It is easy to open with gloves and is super sturdy. I work outside everyday and it's held up for several months now.

Wow, that case looks nice. Wish i would have aeen that before i bought the otterbox. Maybe i'll pick up another case sometime in the future
Anyone else have the trident case? That looks like a much better option than the otterbox. How much extra girth does it add to the photon?
I already have a TPU case which I love but I ordered this one for 10 bucks 2 days ago. Should be here Monday according to tracking

Does anyone know anything about this case? It's not showing up on the Case-mate website, but they have it here in stock ready to ship. Has a kickstand and I was just wondering if anyone has this or has any more info on it.
19.99 + 3.95 shipping. Not bad. It's selling for 29.95 everywhere else. I'm going to buy it, but I was just hoping that someone that if someone has it I can know what to expect. Thanks guys!
i just saw this yesterday on ebay, but i do not like the front back snap of the case, i bought the $35 Platinum with kickstand from best buy instead. The kickstand isn't the best, but the case slides on top and bottom, much more secure against drops. Plus its the exact case that seidio is going to release, they make the Platinum series for best buy. Doesn't bother me that i can't charge while in kickstand mode, maybe there will be "slim-head" chargers to accommodate for it in the future.
just got in my casemate tough, pop, barely there. pop is easily the worst of the bunch.
-pros
feels more durable than the tough
kickstand
-cons
thicker than tough
black and gray accents not really nice looking, imo
kickstand is a small flimsy piece of plastic. looks VERY easy to break
-worst con
dont know if it was just me but once i stuck my 3d in, it couldnt come out. was prying on my evo3d for 5 mins to get it out, back cover actually popped off while still in case. had to pry off that very carefully since it was so thin it might break.

Thanks. Sounds like this isn't a very good case. I'm glad I got it for $20. I will buy another if I don't like it, but from your description it sounds like I won't. I like to be able to easily get my phone out of the case. I also have a TPU case on the way. I do like to be able to easily interchange cases depending on what I am doing and if it is really that hard to get it out if this thing I think it may be a dust collector.
I saw it at the sprint kiosk yesterday. It didn't look too appealing. Looked like it had a rubber sleeve that fit inside the actual case part. The kickstand looked cheap. And it was 40 bucks! The guy pulled out like 15 cases. I walked away with the smoke honeycomb tpu case. Fits like a glove.

They start to look like crap after a week or 2. The silicone starts peeling and cracking and stretches out. I went through 2 replacements before finally getting my money back. This was for my Thunderbolt though.

The only case I've ever had that I liked better then the casemate pop is the Speck CandyShell. I dont see the point in leaving the sides pure silicone, I'd like to see it completely enclosed like the candyshell is. Speck must have a patent on that design or something because no one else ever makes them like that. I wouldn't be surprised to see Speck put one out for the Evo 3D either. But this White/Grey Casemate Pop is sick.. it really is. Highly recommend it. Only downside so far is it does add some weight and it doesnt fit in the iGrip dock like my TPU cases will.

I should be receiving mine tomorrow. I've noticed any case with a kickstand is bulky. I tried the Platinum one from BB and it added bulk as well but the kickstand was flimsy. Even from the pix I've seen, the official HTC case looks bulky. It might just be something we have to live with if we want a kickstand on this phone. I had a nice red Amzer snap-on case for my OG Evo and it felt like nothing was added to the phone. If they can make one like that with a kickstand, we'd be good to go.
Anyone noticed that when using the kick stand, the charging port goes to the bottom? Not a huge deal but for those who watch lots of youtube or movies...

The size is similar, but I believe the Cyclops is slightly larger.
Trident advantages are mainly the ability to be able to touch the screen edge and no more lint on your case. But the lack of soft rubber on the outside does make it quite a bit less grippy.
Overall I think the Cyclops leaves the Defender defenseless.
This case is the best case I have seen out for our phones to date. I absolutely love it. Kickstand is rock solid and the case just feels nice in your hand. Most important it can slide in and out of your pocket easily!
Pros-
Camera button works well
Kickstank is the best I have seen
Screen and camera protectors ( I don't use them but they look well done for someone who uses them )
Hard outside case slides in pocket well
Cons-
Sometime hard to open charge port cover
I will post pictures of it next to my defender and commuter otter box cases for comparison ... The kraken is maybe a slight bit thicker than the defender but unnoticeable really

Does the Kraken II have a dust filter over the speaker ports (both the earpiece and the speakerphone)? I'm currently using the Otterbox Defender, and I'm getting tired of having to open it up to clean dust from between the screen and the case.
Also, can the holster be used to hold the phone with the screen facing out? I've set my Otterbox holster in the car to hold the phone that way for convenience.

The best part of using otterbox is there warranty is the best yet. They will replace your case and holster and let you keep your old one. Trident warranty is slow and a pain.
The holster on the kraken is pretty small. From the pic. I just got one on ebay for 25 bucks.

How is the holster part from the pic I seen of it looks tiny? Does it hold the phone in place pretty well? Im hoping since the holster is so tiny I don't catch it on something and have the phone pop out.
My phone popped out once....but I'm a rough guy...mechanic by trade so me scooting on the floor under a car and having my phone come out of the clip isn't so uncommon no matter what case it is. My mom ordered a kraken for her 3vo and the clip broke...from its first use...have yet to hear back from trident about hers

Wondering if anyone has tried it yet? I know the high gloss Silicon case fits in the car mount (as the mount comes with inserts to allow either an extended battery, or a reg. battery, with case... to fit.)
Anyone?
I've been using the case for about a day now and might just keep the black tpu one from Verizon. In hand, the case feels great and I like how the ports have flaps to keep junk from getting inside. The only downside I've found is the silicone attracts a ridiculous amount of lint. Took it out of my jacket pocket this morning and it practically needed to be wiped down with a damp cloth. I'll be damned if I am going to carry around wet naps to keep this thing clean
Jesus Christ doesn't that bother The hell out you? It drives me crazy LOL. I'm in construction so I keep my phone in a sandwich baggy at all times in work, while its in my pocket. But as soon as I take it outta the bag and put it in my pocket, you can forget it. It becomes a frikken mess. Bit its not too bad. I liked the one for my EVO 3D better. Ohh well, that's life I guess

Nope. I just got mine and tried it with the "iBolt" car mount made for the RZD and it does not fit properly. It isn't a matter of overall size - it's the fact that Otterbox cases usually, as in the case of the RZD cases, have a plug/flap over the USB connector. Unless you can live with cutting it off, you can't fit the Commuter case in the dock because the flap is in the way, open or closed.

Visually, yes it does look pretty cool and would do a good job protecting the phone in case of a drop, however, the plastic is VERY slick. I've almost dropped the phone because of the backing plate of the case.

Hi there,
Im looking for thin case.
Best I have found is this case on ebay
Design is not bad, but its not covering glass area around the camera.
Questions:
1. Is there any thin case(plastic, rubber) that covers that?
2. Anyone tried skins? Will they remove easily(considering phone is jeans pocket)?
3. Those who are using various rubber, gel, hybrid and so on cases, how much fatter is your phone with them? If its not that much fatter suggestions on good cases then

I have tried them all, best case is either the capdase brand or official HTC TPU case. They both let your phone slide into your pocket easy, don't bulk out your phone, look great and offer good protection.
The Ebay jobs are just cheap rubbish you get fed up with after a week or 2.

Look up the Kraken AMS. That is a reasonable case.
Alternatively just look for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HAR...sesPouches&hash=item3a6a2fac16#ht_1887wt_1396
Best thing about this type of case is it doesn't add too much bulk, and is easy to get in and out of your pocket (unlike a silicone/rubber case). And it will actually protect your phone in a drop unlike that case you linked to in your original post. As for your screen... only BIG cases include a plastic layer to completely cover the glass.
Are you just looking for something with raised edges, and then use a screen protector perhaps? (Like the ebay one I showed you).
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Superle...1HVI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1333169597&sr=8-9
this has been the best case for me so far, its very thin, and has a rubber skin with a hard plastic shell..the kraken, and defender are way to big for me. this case is just the right size its about the same size as a tpu case.

My case looks exactly the same and it was £3 from amazon.
IMO the thinnest cases are the back cases ones that doesnt really cover the top and bottom bezel...just the sides and back. BUT if you really want to protect your phone and not get it scratched up over time, you are better off using a TPU type case as the are not too thick and are of softer material and will not rub off any of the black anodized paint. Unlike any hard cases, whether its back only or 2 pieces. Also TPU cases are more absorbent during accidental drop on hard surfaces.
I was running seidio 2pc case hard case w/kick stand with my first 3d and although it had felt inside it eventually rubbed off the pain on the top corners of my phone. The felt inside was very thin and the case is not skin tight so it would move some and the slight movement of the case over time eventually sandpapered some of the paint off. TPU or rubber type cases are more skin tight and is not as abrasive as plastic on painted metal and will not damage the paint so long as you also clean it off from time to time. Some dirt can eventually get in between and the dirt will act as sandpaper. So just consider this when you're buying a case as some of you would probably like to sell your phone later down the road or just want to keep it looking new for a long time.

Those thin cases are the exact same thing as the case mate barely there cases. Much cheaper. I got the rock brand and like it a lot. You do lose that boot of protection at top and bottom though.
Some people have complained that these type of cases are a bit loose on the sides. Easy fix is to lightly squeeze the sides inwards... tight fit!

I just bought the Mobo Carrera slim Horizontal case (for the Galaxy Nexus) and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. It fits the LTEvo nice and snug. The phone doesn't budge at all, especially when shaken vigorously. Also magnet doesn't come off when turned upside and shaken hard. The case is nice and slim to complement the slimness of the LTEvo. The interior is outlined in red leather (sort of complements the phone as well). The belt clip is made of metal (but covered in leather) and swivels but the swivel is rigid and doesn't move with little force with is good to me; stays in the position it is set to. Has the opening at the bottom to allow you to push the phone up to easily remove it.
If you are interested in a horizontal case, then this might be the one for you. Just google Mobo Carrera Horizontal case Galaxy Nexus; amazon has it here Mobo Carrera Horizontal Carrying Case. Other site sell it as well.
I bought 2 more slim cases and I'll write about them here as well when they come in this coming week.
I am looking into a belt case.... Waiting for your review

Well I didn't keep the other two cases. One was too big for the LTEvo that the phone flopped around in the case. That was a killer for me, so I didn't even bother to give it another thought.
The other one is the one pictured below. It was a case for the Galaxy Nexus so it didn't really fit all that well. Don't get me wrong the case was well designed but the dimensions were just short of fitting the LTEvo. The LTEvo was hanging out of the case. If they make one specifically for the LTEvo, it would be worth investing in it.

If you don't mind my asking, what cases were the ones that were too big? Also do you think they'd fit the Evo with a silicone or TPU case on? Thanks!
Ditto to the above I like a gorm fitting holster but I never go out without a case. For work I use the Otterbox commuter with the seido active holster but for regular use, I use a thin TPU case. I have yet to find a holster that is thin and long enough to fit the phone with a TPU case.
Any suggestions?

I bought my dad a side clip holster from siedioonline and he was ecstatic with it.
Even I loved it, and I really dislike holsters in general.
