anyone have experience with this case? thoughts?

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 swear if another mod PM's me saying this is spam, I will never create a post or comment on an accessories post, ever again.)

Good points Deedscreen. The only way your thread could be considered a spamming, IMO, is if you just slammed down a crap load of URLs for purchasing a bunch of stuff.

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.

That or you can download the picture to your phone and just show it to the sales person when you're ready to pay. They'll just scan it off your phone.
i just got this case yesterday for only $20 http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4e39-b18d-e091488f1786&inCart=True&catCode=21
Loving it so far. Very sturdy and robust feel.

i bought that case when i first got my amaze, i dont use it anymore. I found it damaged my phone (more specific, the raised edge around the glass is chipped). Granted i have 3 batteries so taking it on and off, which is a PIA with this case, probably didnt help at all, but now it just sits there collecting dust. just my $0.02

Thanks for this post, I would have never known about this if not for you... You Da Man
I tried the D30 dual protection case with the coupon, didn't like how it didn't wrap around the phone case and rise above the glass, so took it back and got their "band" cover with clear back cover. The US stores also have a "buy 2 get 1 free" offer for accessories for a few weeks. Some stores may notice that this coupon cannot be combined with any other promotion, but the girl who sold me the first cover last week didn't bother to check that ... whoops, I missed that opportunity, could've got a $35 accessory for 30% off, then another, and gotten some earbuds or something free. D'oh!
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)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Hmmm...I said I'd never buy seidio again but the surface may be my best option at this point. Hopefully it fits better than the one I had for my galaxy s II.

NP, Me as well, I am debaiting between a couple of them, since I see that there is a Convert Combo pack which includes the Surface Case & Holster / Convert Case & Holster. as well as a screen shield from them as well. I have this same thing now but don't use the convert much at all. I am not sure if I want to go with the Surface Kit or the Active Kit, thinking active just to be safe. and its got a nice metal kickstand.

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.

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.

Im tired of the 2 piece seidio case on my OG evo so thats why I didnt go with another one for this phone. I got an email today saying it was shipping out. Anyone else thinking of ordering this too?

price seems pretty steep for a silicone case. TPU cases usually go for the same amount or cheaper and they come off just as easy but offer more security than silicone cases.
if you jumped on the deal for the extra chargers for work, i would reconsider for something more reliable. i, and many others, would vouche for this car charger bc it charges nearly as fast as a wall charger and has a long track record, though i got it for $2 at the time:

all in all, this is just my opinion. im sure it will hold you by since its just for work

I hear what ur sayin but I waste so much money on stupid crap that I dont even care anymore. I might order one of these as well http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-EVO-4G-...946818?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c65691642
Or maybe ill just wait to see what comes out after the release date if im not happy with the silicone one.
A friend of mine has that motorola charger and I agree, it does work well.
If you end up being happy with it, then you got a great deal. If you notice that the silicon stretches over time, consider TPU, which is equally cheap. I understand exactly what you mean about throwing a lot of money away...
Just to update: I got the phone today and ive had the case for a couple days now. The case fits perfectly. Everything lines up to where it should be.

I prefer the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) cases, they add the least amount of bulk and provide adequate protection. I have one on my 3D and with a screen protector it has survived a year with a few light drops and is still in mint condition.
I ordered the same one on ebay as listed above (Smoke) and got it today, good seller fast shipping
Plus they are only around $5-$10 delivered! Compared to my wife's $40 otterbox that has been warrantied 4 times in less than 11 months!

Looks great, a little lighter smoke than the one I have for my 3D. Still allows for the red to shine through. I got Item #261030362042.
I'm in TX and got it in 2 days, never know with USPS and Monday is holiday.

Cool thanks for the info! Im glad the red can still show. Im in NY so it'll prob take a few days. Although ur right, USPS has surprised me on some occasions and ive gotten things from cali in like 2 days. Weird.

Awesome! Thanks for the input. Can't wait till they come in so I can check them out
I have the black one and I hate it. I only bought it cause it was the only one available at the time. The soft rubber feeling sucks, Its comes lose when I pull it out of my pocket. I'm using it for now, while I wait for a TPU case to come in the mail. TPU is 100 times better then silicone. This is the case I'm waiting on http://www.ebay.com/itm/26103187214...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1780wt_1154

The two links I just posted are for tpu cases. My original link was for silicone. I like the silicone one so far. No problems with it slipping off when taking it out of my pocket.
I saw the one in your link but I decided against it because I don't like the fact that the camera button and volume buttons are exposed. I like having them covered by the silicone/tpu.
Update: Got the 2 TPU cases in the mail. I hate them. The fit it way too tight. Its really a struggle just to get them on and off. They also ruined my screen protector because it caught the corner of it while putting the case on.
I will say however that once the case is on it has a very nice feel to it and it adds nearly zero bulk to the phone. Its a very tight fit and all of the buttons work perfectly with no problems. Being that im mainly going to be taking these on and off very frequently its not as convenient as just slipping the silicone case on.
