Tough Case by Case-Mate released
Here is the URL
I like it
I had the Case-mate for my HTC Nexus One and it was a good case. I will definitely be looking at this one as a contender for the Amaze.
Also looks like it has the 3 holes in the back that some other cases are covering up.

Nice looking case. Wish it had covers for the charger port and headphone input..
Anyone pick this case up?
I had picked it up but returned it because it was a lint/dust magnet.

I have the D30 case on my Amaze that I bought from T-Mobile Store. It's $24.99- $34.99 and it's one great case ever. I dropped my phone a good number of times and I'm really impressed for the price I paid (I got the $29.99 D30 Band-Smoke Case).

Really liking that casemate up there. I should have purchased that one, but ended up with the ballastic case. I am sure it will be fine, but is quite bulky! Still waiting on it to arrive.
If I don't like this one, may try that casemate.

With the 30% off accessory coupon (expires 6/2012; Google "T-Mobile Facebook 30%"), the basic black D30 "flex protective cover"[1] cost me $18 out the door of a local T-Mo case. Doesn't wrap around the case entirely (maybe I need to exchange for another), but fits snug, and the buttons work better than I expected.

Well it looks like HTC pulled the plug on the kickstand case. I had one ordered and just got this email:
This email is to confirm that the official HTC Kickstand case for the HTC EVO 3D will NOT be released by HTC. Due to an unknown cause HTC has pulled the kickstand from production. If you have a pending order with HTCPedia Shop we would like to offer you similar kickstand cases for your EVO 3D.*Please reply back to this email ff you would like to substitue your order with any of the kickstand cases listed below of if you prefer to cancel your order.We apologize for any inconvenience as this was outside of our hands.

Don't get it...I had it and although the case is decent but bulky, the kickstand is flimsy. If you really want it, just go to BestBuy, it's just rebadged as Platinum..same case.
You could take a look at the case mate pop. Is pretty nice. There is a thread here about it with pics and everything. I have the black and grey one but I don't use it because it is way too tight on the phone. If I had to take it off for any reason it would rip the back cover off with it. That worried me so I stopped using it. I might sell you mine for cheap if you want it. PM me if you think you might want it.

anyone else absolutely in love with flex gel cases or is it just me? i just bought an arguile clear flex gel case off ebay. I'm a big case hoarder for all the smart phones i've had. I've found flex gel cases to be the best for everyday, convenient use.
Also, now that i have a white phone, i feel it should be a crime to not go with a clear case and show off my phone rather than hide it's beauty. Anyways, anyone else having an open love affair with flex gel, or is it just me? if so, do you like your buttons with cutout access, or covered? i must know.
well lets see the case man any pics?

Overall, I'm very happy with the case. It's thin, yet provides the protection I need. It also shows off enough of the pretty phone, with still having a style of its own.
Thanks for the pics...I wanted to see how the white looked with the white argyle...looks nice.

I had a nice trident case for my EVO, but after a while it was just way too big. I'm female so my pants pockets are usually small. It's hard to fit one of those cases in one. That's why I absolutely love this material. No friction and relatively strong, without being too bulky.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
Yeah I agree. I love the case I have now (tpu case). But I'm a relatively big guy 6'3" so I don't think the added bulk would bother too much ?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
The problem with these cases are (especially the cheapy ebay ones) is that they become yellow!!!
Because of the hot/warm battery under heavy usage causes them to become yellow. Otherwise the cases Do perform adequate protection.
I had a clear arguyle case like this on my galaxy s2 and that battery got way hotter while charging that this one. I only had it for a month but i didn't see a yellowish tint. I'm a case fiend so I'm sure in a few weeks ill need to buy a completely different color anyways. So at the price of 6 bucks, I don't mind. sorry for the constant replying. I'm awfully bored at work.

I have the seidio extended rugged case with the extended battery and holster. I had a scare yesterday with it. I just got to work and checked in on foursquare and I guess I didn't push it far enough into the holster, I opened my truck door and down it goes. The phone bounced on the face and did a roll bounce and landed on its back. Much to my amaze, phone is perfect which it should be with this exterior. From this day on, I will only buy seidio products.

I'm retracting my prior support for the Defender. In two months mine has grown misshapen and is now loose in both the back and around the top edged. The usb cover didn't make it more than a month. Otterbox has sent a replacement but it seems pretty clear this is a recurring problem for many. [I have a Commuter arriving later today].
My Otterbox Commuter has treated me well. I did break the thin piece by the volume bar. But I called up Otterbox and followed their instructions and received a new case in the mail for free.
Otterbox = Legit

I have the OtterBox Commuter. It is a lot slimmer than the Defender series but it still protects your phone really well. I've broken my case twice and contacted OtterBox and they sent me a replacement case twice. They have really good customer service. I know the case isn't the slimmest out there but it's the slimmest it gets with some good protection.

If you want really slim, go with the CaseMate Barely There! If you want really slim and a solid back(no cut-out for the kickstand), there are cases on ebay. They are very very similar to the Barely There case, they just don't have the kickstand cut-out, slightly better camera protection, AND only $6 shipped!! I bought one in white, and it just arrived today. First impression: Very nice case! I'll take a pic and post it in just a minute.

Here it is. Few angles to show that the top and bottom aren't covered, just the sides. Sides do come up enough so the screen will not touch if you set it face down though. Nice touch I think.
Sent from my White Evo LTE running MeanBean, using XDA Premium
the incipio feather case also is slim but doesnt protect the top and bottom like the case-mate, but it does have the kickstand cutout. I have a small issue with mine not completely reaching the side with volume keys but it's insignificant... if you want pictures just let me know
You guys and your otter box lol .. that case is over priced and fall apart.. not to mention the phone is big enough and now your adding more bulk to it .. get the cruzerlite case.. its 12 bucks on amazon and fits like a glove.. I've dropped this phone so many times and not one scratch or bruise.. nice and thin.

The impact doesn't have to be in the kickstand area for this type of damage to occur. This area is the weakest point of the aluminum frame, so the phone is most likely to bend there. Only a rigid case protecting the front and the back edges of the phone would prevent it.

I have 3 of those. Bought the smoke grey, clear, and the red. These are very nice TPU cases! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a TPU case!! I also have the 2-piece Seidio case in white (with the holster), 2 Commuter cases (one in each color combination so I could make my own black/white Commuter) , matte clear TPU case, and the case I pictured a few posts back. So far, I prefer the one pictured in this thread and my black and white Commuter! Nice to have different options depending on what I'm doing! Main reason though, in all honesty, I'm just an accessory whore when it comes to my phones! Lol. I do this with every phone I buy, and only use some once before they collect dust in a drawer until I sell the phone a year later.

Here's a pic of the Commuter in a Seidio Active holster. The fit is perfect, like the two were made for one another!! I also have the Seidio Surface case and holster. While you can put the Commuter in the Surface holster, it is too tight and far from ideal. If you already have the Surface holster and refuse to buy the Active holster, then it will get you by I suppose...but you should be planning to get the Active holster asap!

Here's what you're left with after using the white silicone and black plastic hard shell.You get the black silicone and pink plastic hard shell. I'm gonna put this on ebay, before too much longer I hope. I think this looks better, or at least just as good, than the pink/white case sold by Otterbox. I think Otterbox should let the customer decide what color silicone and what color hard plastic they want when ever placing an order. This would slow down their warehouse, or maybe just require them to hire one or two more warehouse employees, but would increase their sales I think.
