I've come to realize how much I would use a kickstand on my Rezound. I've already placed a backorder for the HTC kickstand case from HTCpedia. I have searched the web for another retailer carrying this case, but cannot find it anywhere.
Anyone else happen to find this case? I'm hoping to be able to get this case sooner rather than later. :/
Bought a shell holster combo from GizmoReady on Amazon. Way better than the one Verizon sells. Fits regular battery. Check it out. And yes it has a kickstand.

I ordered this one, should have it Monday:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006BFP9QS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Not as slick as the one on htcpedia that runs $25 if that's the one you're talking about but looks the same as the other one they carry and also comes with a holster.
I figure this one is good for hiking when I won't have pockets or a purse since it has a holster and it looks rugged in case of a drop, and I wanted a kickstand for when I need it to watch something. But I'm not sure I'll leave it on at all times, I love the phone without a case and don't want to bulk it up.
Here's one for the extended battery:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-REZOUND-E..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1325996180&sr=1-2
got mine in the mail today from Amazon.com... Had great reviews and was very similar to the case that I had with my Galaxy Nexus. I wanted the one at VZW store, but it was for the large battery.. I can provide a link if you need it. It is almost EXACTLY as the one at VZW... Says it in the comments...

I think it's pretty much just like this one, if not the exact same one, on htcpedia. They have pics posted there. I might write up a review of the case and will post pics then. Let me know if you need to see more than what you see at this link and I'd be happy to post.

I'm really hoping for a tpu kickstand case to come out like the ones they have for the GN. All the kickstand cases that are out on the market now are snap on based and knowing me, it will eventually just scratch the phone up. Looks like this:

That's not the one originally brought up in the OP. That's the cheaper one, the "rubberized" one. I got one just like it off Amazon for $13 shipped (see link above) and I'm going to review it in a couple days. The one the OP brought up is the "hard shell" one.
I called HTCpedia and was told that HTC has problems with fulfillment and that this case would most likely not be in stock for about one more month. I canceled my order.

I just got one from Amazon today--$10 shipped--which appears to be exactly the same one shown on the wireless video. It is also very similar, only the pattern is different, as the one sold by Verizon, except this only fits the standard battery. I don't know about the "rubberized" statement, but this case/holster is definitely hard.
This case fits the phone very well, however, it only wraps the sides, not the top or bottom. It is easy to snap off and on. The phone does not wiggle inside the case like it does on the dual battery Verizon case. It also fits the holster very well and seems to be secure. It has the pull-out stand which works vertically and horizontally. It seems a little flimsy but we'll see how long it last.
It has all the necessary openings: lens, lights, headset, power, volume, rear speaker, and two holes on the back and one on the side that have to do with noise suppression on the phone--the holes are on the phone.
The holster clips works well on my belt and allows for rotation.
Bottom line: I like it. It is like the one I had on my Dinc for two years.

I just got it, and I must say it HORRIBLE. By all means, do not buy it. The white stitching is so ugly I don't understand why I even bought it, and the worst thing is that there's no cut out for the back camera. According to Clove.co.uk, it has a cut out, but the pictures are inaccurate. But I bought it from PDAir because they are cheaper.
So this was a huge waste of money. So disappointed...
If someone can recommend a flip-top leather case that covers all sides, and cover the entire front of the device (unlike piel farma's), I'd love to hear about it (and see pictures if possible).
is this the one you bought?

Well we both liked the sleek look of the Diamond2, so you might dislike the case as I did. It doesn't have a "sophisticated" look like iPhone leather casings, it just has a cheap look and feel. And the lack of back camera cut out is just peculiar...
I ordered another one, this time from Proporta. Now I have to figure out what to do with PDAir's casing, since it cost me 28$ (!) for a really mediocre case.
Don't panic by my words, try it for yourself.
cant you get a refund?
hmmm... I myself just ordered pdair book type case for $28... it does have a cut out, and I hope its good... i think the looks is good enuf, and I have been using similar pdair case for my blue angel for 5 years... and this is the main reason why I am buying another one...
the quality is good and the looks is not bad... I like the white stitching...

Yes, it's the one I got. I know the pictures don't show the cut out, but they are not very clear so I sent clove an e-mail to verify this. To my amazement they said it does include a cut out, so I bought it. Sometimes the pictures in the site do not represent the reality.
The book type casing is better I believe, it has a cut out and it looks better. I rather use a flip type, so it's not relevant to me.
I don't like Piel's case because the top of the device is not covered properly, it's peeking out of it. It's like they didn't design the casing very well...
The case came today and to be honest I really like it. I like the look and it feels anything but cheap to me. Yes there is no cut out for the camera buy u just pull back the flip easily to take a photo. Maybe I'm easily pleased but I'm glad I got this now. Phone feels really secure and safe and looks good to me folks
guys, just out of curiosity, did you order your pdair from pdair.com? cause I ordered mine on 18th/06 and they said they would only start shipping it on 24th.. and it would take 7-20 days via hongkong post office to send it to indonesia.... thats a long time...
where did you buy your pdair case, where are you and how long does it take?
cheers

I'm happy to hear you like the case, as I was very disappointed.
I bought mine from PDAir.com, i'm from Israel and it took about two weeks.
I'm suprised by the comments about the quality
side by side my daimond case with my vario ...the quality is the same as the porprota case except that there is no metal insert over the screen. I guess it is slghtly more bulky as a design
Please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers HTC/Sprint mentioning that case with kickstand for the EVO 3D. I just put the phone on order and been looking for that one case all over online. Is it supposed to be an OEM case sold by Sprint only or something? Anyone has any clue?
Case should be available same day you go pick up the phone... Sprint and radio shack will have the case probably best buy as well

Thanks, though I ordered the phone from Amazon Wireless. I'm not getting it on contract, so I'm paying full price for it, which Sprint is having for $549, while Amazon for $469. Kind of a no brainer.
I tried eBay and the likes, no luck. Then I go for google, and it seems HTCPedia has them listed but out of stick or backordered. So basically no luck so far. Hopefully you're right and they have it at the Sprint retailer when I go there as soon as I get the phone.
When i ordered my E3D through sprint this morning one of the accessories available was something called an 'easel case' or something along those lines. It looked like the official ones shown before but the picture was only from the front so I couldn't tell for sure. It also said it had 3 levels of tilt or something like that which I was unfamiliar with from the one we're looking for. It was listed as $45 so I decided against it in case it's not the right one. I'll probably check the store on Friday.
edit:
went back into the premier store and found evo3D accessories. good thing I didn't order it!

it looked very similar from the front in the very small picture they have at the end of checkout, but i though easel case sounded wrong. Guess we're back to square one.

cool, but i think that every evo case should cover the camera opening and just have cutouts for that lenses and flash/speaker.
Ill hold out for someone to make a hybrid poly/tpu case that covers the camera and has the kickstand. till then ill just use my otterbox defender for day to day and my tpu case from tpucases.com for light duty when I cant have it on my belt (formal dinners and such)
i dont see what the big deal is with the camera. i have had my evo from launch day and it has been naked about 95% of the time (had a seidio case for a bit) and my camera lens is perfectly fine and i am far from careful. dropped may times, always in my pocket, fell down the stairs etc etc.
I was just at my local best buy and they said they do not carry any accessories with htc branding.

It appears to me, comparing this picture to the Evo 3D in my hands, that the kickstand is on the wrong side for me....would not allow charging? HTC one appears to allow charging by reversing the phone. BTW, I confirm...3D works either way in landscape mode (with micro usb up or down).
Edit: I am assuming that the rounded end is the side that extracts and rests on the table/desk

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!

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.

Ok, 0.03" but I did not want to brag!!
You're about to get banned. Like I said Quit While You're Ahead!!!
Anyone have any experience with a case from Ventev? I've never even heard of them, but looking at their site it seems they make a lot of products.
Anyways I found this http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=532148&eventPage=1.
Honestly never heard of them myself. The price looks like it may be on the high end for what it seems to be, but if it's good quality then it'd be worth it. If you get one, post back and let us know how it is. I have a cheap Ebay TPU case on the way for now but I'm keeping my eye out for a good one.
I havnt heard of that case series, im waiting for the Commuter Case by Otterbox.. Still hasnt been released.. :/

Have you received your TPU case? I ordered one yesterday but I got an email today from the vendor saying that they just found out they wouldn't fit AT&T phones and they refunded me. Now I'm not seeing any TPU ones on ebay.

I ordered mine off eBay 2 days ago and got the same message, he also gave me a full refund. Time to start saving pennies for an otterbox!

Thanks, I saw that. I've had 2 piece cases on my other phones in the past (incipio, body glove) and I actually prefer the cheap TPU ones best. The cheap TPU ebay/amazon ones (like this: http://tinyurl.com/ct4ktzd) are really low profile, slide in and out of the pocket easily, are flexible yet firm enough to absorb shock from reasonably high drops and only cost like $3. Hopefully someone comes out with one for the OG soon. I might buy one of those ones you linked to in the meantime.

Dropped my phone this morning, no damage but I decided I couldn't wait around for a case I actually liked and ordered one of those foryourcell ones. I'll post some pictures and write up a little review when I receive it.

I will be gone all week for work, so you will probably have yours first. Will look for your post.
Ventev Case
The case arrived and fits the AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
The case consists of 2 parts, a TPU case and a Polycarbonate back cover. The Polycarbonate back cover can be taken off and you can then just use the TPU case.
All buttons remain functional with the case even though the case covers them, and all of the ports and the camera remain functional and accessible.
I have no problem slipping in or taking the phone out of my pocket with the case on.
The case does add significant thickness and heft to the phone, but the case seems solid.
I should mention that I ordered the case from Amzer.com, but it looks identical, and has Ventev printed on the back Polycarbonate cover.

Thanks for the info. Can you, please, check that there are cut outs for both mics (the top and the bottom)? Thanks.

Can you please take some pictures when you have some free time? The only picture online is the one just showing the back.
What about power button notification light?

The quality isn't great, but it should give you an idea.
Let me know if you need something clearer and I'll get out my DSLR.

The notification light gets covered up unfortunately.
Here's some crappy pictures. Only complaint is the tpu rubber part fits really tight. It was hard to get in and lifted up the corner of the screen protected. But took it straight from mailbox and put on phone, so maybe I should have let it warm up.
Thanks for the pictures, folks. I'll probably go ahead and get the Ventev case for now until Otterbox comes out If it does, of course).
So, from what I see, the Amzer and Ventev cases are identical, except for the logo on the back?
I'm currently undergoing the issue of having the back peel off my nexus 6 and I've only had it for a week so I don't have another $600.00 for them to place a hold on my account for a replacement. On google+ a guy sent me a link and said these might be wood replacement backs. He said somebody posted a pic of it and said they are actual replacement backs not just skins. If they are backs I plan on buying one now
slickwraps.com/natural-series-wraps-skins-for-nexus-6
There's a .html at the end. Can't add links yet since XDA still got that crazy 10 post thing going on
These are simply skins that stick over the back, not replacement back panels. If you need a new back panel, they're on ebay with adhesive skin to apply them similar to stock. Goodluck.
Yes you can buy new white and blue back panels from ebay. They are perfect replacements.
Thanks a lot you guys! Didn't realize eBay had them. Then on top of that there not coming from overseas... awesome
Just to add to this, yes they are an adhesive skin, but they are real wood, and not a thin flimsy decal. If you read the original @slickwraps thread, people have removed the plastic nexus backing, and put the Naturals bamboo skin as a replacement, and it was a perfect fit, but it wasnt meant to be a replacement and not marketed as such. (The Naturals line, both leather and wood, are much thicker than flimsy plastic decals since they are real leather and wood)
I myself own a few of the Slickwraps Naturals products, and I have to say I am impressed with the quality.
I have the dark brown leather as my back and I removed the stock back. It fits 100% perfect and I love it! I also bought a spare OEM back in case I need it. The bamboo might need some sanding to fit flush I haven't tried it with mine yet but if and when I do I'll post some pictures.

Do you have a photo of that? since if you are not using your original back plate the nexus and M letters will look strange?

OK no problem and yes I bought the spare OEM back on eBay from a seller in NJ. The leather is on my phone so I'll take some pictures for you. I just applied some conditioner so it's wet but I have a older picture of when I first installed it that I'll post right now below for you. I'll add new pictures once the constraints l conditioner is done drying. I"aged" the leather because it looks better with some wear on it.

Here you go http://m.ebay.com/itm/261685948756?txnId=1566379742016
i also bought an extra back from ebay. received it yesterday but the curved part of the letter "u" was not in place. it had come off. i put it back in place no problem but it leads me to think they will come off easy. another thing i noticed is that the ebay one, the "nexus" letters are chrome and the ones that actually come on the phone are silver.
good thing i got the ebay one to play with it. i'm going to end up painting it or something. haven't decided what yet.

The one I bought is fine and identical to my OEM one that I took off my phone. I can post a side by side if you would like. It could be a different supplier for the back or something because most people have had good experiences with the ones from eBay. I'm not saying there aren't bad ones out there but I received a good one.

Hopefully it will still fit fine for you. I bought one as a backup because I'm using the SW Horween Leather as my phone back right now.
