I just received this case yesterday and I got to say that it is a pretty nice case if you're looking for a tough case. I've been looking for a case like the Otterbox since it appears they will not be releasing a defender series for this phone. This one is actually the opposite because they put the hard case on the outside of the silicone case. They did this so when you don't need/want the plastic part, you can still use the silicone part as a case. The metal kickstand is also a nice addition, especially since I tend to watch netflix on my phone quite a bit. It is a universal GS2 case, meaning it fits ours and the international version. It has a notch at the bottom for the international's home button, and has the hole at the top for our noise cancellation mic. You do have to work it a bit to get the plastic part over the silicone, but really that's a good thing. Also the button feel is really nice with this case. Feels better than when it's just the phone itself. They also got the phone to me quickly. I got it about 3 days after I ordered it and it came from California to South Carolina, free shipping. So if you've been wondering about this case or wanting another option for a tough case, I'd give this one a try. I love it. Oh and there are also other colors available.
dang, i was hoping this would be about the rum.
looks like a cool case, thanks for the review.

I've been looking for something since falling out of love with the Siedio Active combo, but I really dislike how the holster has that circular portion resting directly against the screen. That just can't be good for anything over the long term.
It doesn't touch the screen. There's plenty of space.

Like I said the buttons feel better than without a case. As for bulk it adds a bit, probably about as much as an otterbox defender would. It is a tough case afterall. Trident also offers other cases for our phones.

That's a nice case. I've never liked things like the Otterbox, always thought they were really fugly. If I were in the market for a tough case, I'd definitely consider this.

TRIDENT AMS-SGX2-BK Kraken AMS Case for Samsung Galaxy S II - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Black
The Kraken (AMS-SGX2) listed in Amazon for the GS2 doesnt say whether they are for the i777 but clearly look like they are for the i9100. It does say that they fit the GS1 though.
Anybody have more personal input on this case yet?
Please post pics if someone gets one on our AT&T version.
I have the green one now. It is designed to fit both. There is an antenna hole in the upper right corner in the silicone. The hole for the microphone at the top is grooved(in the silicone) in such a way that the at&t and i9100 can utilize it. Overall it is a nice case but the two halves(front & back) seem like they don't snap together tight enough. Maybe it won't be a problem but only time will tell. Also, the plastic seems to slip out of my hands more easily than a case that has more silicone.

It is a hybrid case, meant to fit the international and AT&T versions.
Thanks fellas. I'm thinking about getting the Red one myself but I would like to see pics of it first, dont want it to look pinkish red
Can you post close up pictures (any color)?
I'll try to post pics if I get the chance, and I can find my camera. I use my phone for everything and haven't used a camera in ages. I have the red one and there is no pinkish to it.

Cant wait to see a review on this. I had one for my EVO 4G and liked almost everything about it, but ended up returning it because the lip didnt come over far to protect the screen. Id like to be able to lay it face down, and not have to worry about the glass touch anything. Im hoping this one will allow that.

Thats not even a picture of the product on a real phone, could just be bad photoshop. Barely there sucks though since no lay on the table design. Whats the point? You drop it face down and your screwed.

Please do post pics and a quick little review once you receive it. I loved the fleaBay barely there case I kept on my Evo. I actually didn't even realize the "real" name of product as I stumbled onto the case on fleaBay and never needed another. I found the real product right before I sold my Evo right before I got my 3D.
Thanks!
ETA: I am currently using a TPU from TPU Cases and it is really nice. I'm just used to having some options and the thin snap on is one I really like having. The argyle TPU is a real crowd pleaser.
i just bought this one. I loved the Casemate barely there on my EVO 4G. I will let you know how this one works.

I bought this one and its just like the case-mate barely there case. It does have a lip that will protect the screen if you place it face down and its really slim. The cut-outs are all perfectly aligned. Its plastic with soft rubberized coat.

Hmm, sorry. Here is where I got the code from:

I see theres a new one "july4" for 20% off, mysave10 for 10% off, cmretail10 for 10% off. Just look around
Case just arrived.
This is exactly, I mean exactly what I was looking for. It's just like the best case I ever saw, my Wifes Nexus-S case by MyIncipio, thier ultra slim "Feather" model, but it covers the top of the screen ever so slightly, where as the case for the ogEVO stopped right before top of the screen, which was dumb.
The feel and grip of the case is spot on perfect. Not too slick, not too sticky, but just right.
I hate bulky cases with a passion, don't want my phone looking like a thick bar of soap. Plus I has an OtterBox case on ogEVO and phone still cracked screen from a small drop. So no case can 100% protect you.
I am very satisfied with my purchase here. To me the perfect case.

This case looks exactly like one I got off amazon for like 8 bucks. The one I got is kind of a frosted look. I love how minimal it is while still having I think the best design for the camera-when its a big opening its not well protected especially from fingerprints. I just wish I could get a holster for it. The other thing the cutouts for the cameras are perfect and I tried an otterbox and they didn't line up near as good.

OtterBox Commuter Review
Just got my OtterBox today, so thought I'd toss out some thoughts for those of you on the fence.
Those of you that aren't familiar with the OtterBox cases check out some info here OtterBox Case Series
Fit: This thing fits so effin nicely! I've tried the Commuter series on a few devices...and this seems to fit more snug than on other phones. The 3D Commuter I had seemed to bunch up ever so slightly. Same with Dell Streak and Evo 4G versions. My Galaxy S phone was pretty snug as well. Seems like they got this one right...cut-out for the mic doesn't look like it'll get blocked over time if the rubber gets loose.
Button overlays: They stick out a bit...which is the norm for Otters. I find them to be pretty handy. The power button especially, as most would agree without a case it can be a bit of a pain to press. Nice that I can stop myself from filing a fingernail on the volume rocker too. Much easier to press than the few other cases I've tried as well.
Dust Flaps: Tight and secure...without being annoying. Easy to open...plenty of room to plug in your cables. Not too stiff. Seems like they'll hold up for awhile. I've had some others that have fallen off way too early in the case life. Noticed the flap over the HDMI / USB ports DOES make the phone wobble a bit when using kickstand. Not a big deal...but might be an issue for some.
Cut-Outs: My only complaint here is with the kickstand cut out...seems a bit too snug. Seems to get caught a tiny bit on the rubber around it as you try to extend the kickstand. Pretty sure it'll straigthen itself out over time tho. Camera cut-out is nuttin special...just a rectangle around the lens and flash. Has cut-outs for the noise cancelling mics on the back as well.
Appearance: LOVE how it doesn't take away from the MoPho's unique look. I've gotten compliments on my phone for how slick it looks with the cut off corners. Yea.it's the little things that count. This isn't a case that hides the look of your phone...it accents the goodness!
General Feel: Not too slick....not too grippy. Slides in and out of pockets just fine. Definitely doesn't feel like I'll drop it. Always a good thing in my book. **Edit: After several hours of use, I've noticed the edges are kinda sharp. The hard plastic, when held in certain spots, can be agitating to your skin with it's sharp plastic.
So...in conclusion: I think this is the case I'll stay with for awhile. I've always enjoyed the protection afforded by OtterBox cases...and this should be no different.
Be aware, unless you rip out the insert on the HDMI dock it won't fit. You will have to remove the case for dock use.

I just ordered one from amazon after reading this. This would be perfect if they would have made a clip for it like the defender. I tried the defender at RS but it was just too much, this seems to keep the bulk down but still give that otterbox protection.

update: oh they went out of stock quick i guess, i was able to snag one though....
newegg's price is good, but thats about how much theyre going for online. retail stores would rip you off, but online price seems to be around the 22-25 dollar range.
lowest amazon price is 22.93 with free shipping from a 3rd party seller.
I bought mine for about the same price from a 3rd party seller on amazon and received it in 2 days (mainly cuz he was in the same state).
i got mine for 19.99 free shipping on amazon. love the case, felt so scared holdin it before.
I managed to get the Commuter to fit the car dock with minimal modification.
1- The rubber plug over the USB ports has to go.
2- Remove the ~1" bar over the USB ports from the outer shell. This part is indicated in green in the photo.
3- Shove the whole thing into the navi dock. Still tight, but it works.
Just copped ($22 on Amazon w/free shipping.) Propz - good review
Alright so, I'm the type of person who never puts cases on their phones..
The least I would ever do would be an zagg shield.
Though, with the evo 3D I'm sorta feeling a case now.
I'm looking for a really... really thin case.
My friend has the infuse on at&t and she has a really thin case.
It feels almost metal..and only covers the back and the sides.
But it as almost no bulk to the phone..
Anything similar to that for the evo 3d?
thanks!
heres what i bought:

How do you like it?
I personally wouldnt recommend them as they provide no protection at all if you drop the phone face down or it lands on the corner edge. I would go with a TPU case if you need something that is thin, as they wrap around the edges and protect the phone better. I'm not just saying this because I own TPU-Cases either Buy them from whoever you want.. just my opinion of course.
I have the matte back black case from tpu-cases.com and highly recommend them:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=7&sort=20a&page=1
it's thin, fits perfectly, aesthetically looks great, free fast shipping (they are a U.S. seller so there's no wait time unlike the overseas stuff) with email confirmation, all at a great price. Their current line up have the camera holes lined up and as it's raised, there is protection for the 3D's dual cameras when you lay it flat on a table. The shutter and volume buttons are covered but access is not a problem for me.
Hope this helps.
I have a smoke argyle TPU already. I bought it since I got the phone 3 days before release and an Otterbox wasn't out yet. Once rooting my phone I realized how much I loved how thin it was.
i just bought this one i thought it looked really cool and it cheap so if i dont like it no big loss http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Metal-Case-Cover-HTC-EVO-3D-Sprint-H153-/320721844909?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aac82faad
I bought this one and really like it. It fits very tightly and looks really nice in person. It snaps together securely and if I have any complaints, this tight and secure fit is it. I had to take it off once to do a battery pull and I thought I was going to destroy it getting it off. If you like to frequently swap out spare batteries, this is probably not the case for you. Other than that, I can't find any faults with it.

i like the case alot, fits perfect. It adds no bulk at all which is what i wanted cause i also never used a case on my previous phone just the Zagg shield, i have full zagg on along with this case so the tops and bottom where the case does not cover is still protected. Also i have a tpu case and the otterbox commuter, i use each depending on the kind of things i do that day.
I'm with you, I've never used a case and I always used to bad mouth people who made their brand new phone ugly as **** buy putting a case on it. Hell, I even got my roommate to go naked with his Droid X.
BUT, I dropped my new baby Evo3D a few times already and since I'm no longer rich, I thought, I'd put a case on it. Got one of these bad boys from ebay, $2.19 shipped
The fit is perfect and it doesn't look bad either. Adds minimal thickness. I also ordered a ballistic case just to try it out...we'll see though. I don't want the phone to look like a brick

I had that case also and agree, very nice and doesn't add much bulk at all. Unfortunately, as you mentioned, getting it off the phone is ridiculously difficult IMO. Also, I didn't like the fact that instead of having smaller, precise cutouts for just the camera lenses and the flash, it had one giant cutout in the back for the entire camera module (leaves the area more susceptible to scratches IMO). So I returned it and got a case from tpu-cases.com. Different material but adds about the same amount of neglible bulk to the phone. More importantly for me though, it doesn't have the one giant cutout in the back but rather, instead, has smaller cutouts just for the two camera lenses, flash, and speaker.
how about this? htc official case

I think the case mate barely there is the thinnest case out there. I got a couple of copycat cases from here:
Case-Mate barely there copycat
Another Case-Mate barely there copycat
I bought both of them in black. They turned out to be identical. Both are the same thinness and have the soft touch paint in the back. Now I got 2 of them.... and can only use one..... pushing my wife to get an EVO 3D as well when her contract is up in Nov.
I have a case like the CaseMate Barely There on my 4th Gen IPod Touch and love it. For my 3D, u have all 3 Otterbox cases and use them for different activities.

I am in the same boat and was digging around for days for a case that fit with extended battery. I finally came across these and ordered one last night. Then I remembered your post here so I wanted to pass this on.

Now I realize they want ALL the money for these cases but they look nice and we don't have many alternatives. Cool thing about these is that they don't add any thickness. I was going to just buy a regular size case and cut it until I found these. I will report back after mine comes in. Let me know what you think.
I just ordered this one from Amazon. I will give my feedback when it arrives.

I was in the Verizon store and picked up one of the Verizon silicon cases for the extended battery. They didn't have it on display and it took a while for them to find it out back. It is a cheap way to keep your phone safe until some better cases hit the market. It also doesn't add too much thickness.

What didn't you like about the VZW kickstand case?

I am in the same boat and was digging around for days for a case that fit with extended battery. I finally came across these and ordered one last night. Then I remembered your post here so I wanted to pass this on.

I have one of these. It literally is just the regular tpu case with the back cut out to accommodate the extended battery. Works alright for what it is, but can't believe they sell it for more than the normal case. I bought it when it was on sale for almost half off, so was alright.

Bought this one too... It's a decent case. The texture/design is different from most other cases (see pics on the website), so that's probably why the OP doesn't like it.
Me, I don't like it as much because of the color, adds even more thickness to the phone with an extended battery, and leaves the top and bottom exposed.
Use it mainly when it go somewhere that I know I will be using my phone to watch videos.

The feel in hand can be slippery and uncomfortable...feels cheap.

I just wanted to check back on this and review this case a bit so yes I quoted myself. The case if you look at the pictures on the HTCPedia site is basically a TPU case with a cutout that goes around the extended battery. The case fits tightly, looks cool, and provides exactly the protection I was looking for. Has cutouts for all the buttons and plugs. It is very light and seems well built. I recommend this case and would buy again.
I own both of these:

I prefer the one with the cutout back. It is a little thinner overall(since no back) and the space around the buttons is a little bigger.
I had trouble pressing the power button on the diztronics.
Both good cases.

Can either one of you post pictures of the silicone case from a side view? I just want to see more angles than they show on the site. It looks pretty cool thoug and I think I may get it, and an extended battery of course.

I am not much of a photographer. Hopefully these angles give you a better idea. I hope these pics aren't so big they are annoying.

Thanks for the pics! I'll thank you when I'm on my laptop. This case looks great and the phone actually looks really good even with the extended battery. This is the best looking extended battery of any phone.

Its called the KRAKEN AMS CASE, it looks super rugged, id say that it probably offers more protection then the otterbox defender. Id have no problem tossing my rezound across a room in this thing if it is as solid as it looks. Ive been looking for something that resembles the Sedio convert series case for the rezound. i loved it on my thunderbolt, id drop the thing purposfully onto cement from about 7/8ft just to show how good it was.
http://www.tridentcase.com/case/htc/htc-rezound/htc-rezound-kraken-ams-case.html
if anyone has tried it let me know your thoughts. $50 is a bit steep for me to just go and buy it.
If it comes with the holster that is not that bad.
I just ordered a Seidio Active for mine. I have the Active for my previous phone (Dinc) and have liked its protection. The new one for the Rezound without the holster (which I never use) is $20
yea it has a holster, lol what looks like a holster because its tiny, that might be a good thing now that i think of it, the only thing i didnt like about the convert case on the thunderbolt was the huge holster getting in my way all the time.
That Trident case looks bad ass!

wow it looks great. hows the kickstand? on the web it looks a bit flimsy, but in your pics it looks like its pretty good.
The kickstand is real good, its made of metal and its sturdy. It clicks into the back and stay secure when you arent using it. So far it's one of the best cases I used..I had a incipio before this one and I really like this one more, it does add some bulk though its definitely as big as the otterbox defender cases.
dude its 23 bucks here

Thats not the same case thats why its cheaper. Its the same brand but it doesn't have the kickstand like the one in the OP.
My friend has that brand for his DX. I think it could take a bullet. Unfortunately when he has it in his pocket he looks like he is happy to see everyone though.
Trident cases are probably the strongest I've ever used on any phone. That being said, any plastic that they color will peel eventually. It's kind of annoying since the case is so amazing. And Con is right, that thing will take a damn bullet. The fact that it has most of the rubber on the outside instead of the plastic could really help the peeling issue.
I wish they made sweet cases for extended battery

So do I, I use the extended battery as my main on, but for this bad ass case I might have to reconsider.

I recently got an ageis model for mine, it's a brick, and feels good in the hand, except the hard plastic is slightly slippery. I messed up my screen protector when applying it, and sent trident an email. They asked for my address and are sending me out a new one free of charge. Great case, great company.

It looks like it might be able to fit the extended battery. If you mod it alittle, like cut the back part of the rubber under the plastic part and possibly leave the back door off the phone. But I haven't tried it. It does make the thickness about the same as when the extended is on it, so it might work.
Just tested out the case with the extended battery and it fits fine aslong as you leave the backdoor off. You also would need to cut a hole in the rubber for the battery to poke out. The only thing is that the area near the camera is going to be showing the inside of the phone since the backdoor would be off.

I have a Trident and its amazing. Soft silicone inside, hard durable outside. Also they look amazing and are easy to hold. Highly recommend. Love it more than any otter box I've had.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the phone will work without the back cover or at least a portion of the back cover because of the antennas.
