Has anybody tried these out yet? Just saw them on eBay today.
OtterBox Knock Offs
Their feedback is pretty good, but they haven't been selling these particular cases for very long. So, I'm guessing nobody that bought one has reviewed it yet.
Whatcha think?
Been thinking about one of these as a backup. @ 20 bucks might just go for it.
I like the Defender so much because of the camera protection. This knock-off leaves the camera area exposed, offering them no protection...Guess it all depends on your wants/needs, but this case also just has a cheap look to me..specifically the button/hole covers

You can get a defender case for only 12 dollars more on amazon.
Just received mine today. I think I paid 36 all together with shipping.
As long as it not otterbox, then yes.
Otterbox wants you to setup a crime scene before you can return a defective unit.
They don't have any integrity about standing by their product.

Quite the opposite actually. 95% of people who call in don't have to do anything to get replacement, myself included. I called them, explained the issue, he asked for my email address and mailing address then told me i would receive it in about a week, didn't have to do ANY thing. Plus get to keep the old one for a backup, nice!! Bet customer service anywhere!!

I pretty much guarantee you will get better customer support from otterbox than you will this knock off company.
I got an otterbox defender for my OG evo as soon as they became available. 3x I had to have it replaced (for minor issues) and 3x they sent me replacements with little to no trouble. I had to take a picture of the damage the first time.
Btw the replacements were for 1 the kickstand snapped in half and the other 2 were related to the holster cracking. (I was very hard on the holster, always bumping it into walls/doors lol)

I went ahead and got one full price 49.99 right after i bought my Evo. Could have waited---- but whatever.
I think this would be a good cheap alternative mainly due to the exposed buttons. The defender works as advertised but i might want a lower profile, easier access, less tapedeck looking case.
Ive had one problem with the defender. watch were you sit. The belt clip has a weak point and it will break if you hit it in the right spot.
Edit: On second thought- there is no way to make the Evo 3d not look like a a Walkman
I woul probably like the knokoff more if all buttons/ ports were exposed.
MMMM, Nom Nom Nom
I ordered the Defender. Got a discount from Retailmenot.com and really like it. Ditched the crappy built in screen protector and grabbed a zagg also got the discount for that at retailmenot.com.
I am suppose to be getting my otterbox in the mail tomorrow from fedex. I love the camera protection it offers. And the best thing is I got it for free, haha through best buy accommodations.

I ordered the Note last night, so should be here by Friday. I already ordered a TPU.
Usually I get like those 3x screen protectors from ebay for like $1.99 or something like that, they actually work fine for me, just I can't find any for the ATT version, only the INTL. The ATT one is the stupid Hong Kong which take like 2 weeks to get here...
Does anyone know where else I can get those 3x type cheap screen protectors for less than $5 online sold in US so I can put it on my phone immediately?
Try looking at amazon. I don't buy cheap screen and I bought a zagg invisishield for $13+ on ebay. Works fine and has lifetime warranty. If it gets messed up send it for new replacement.

I don't have the full body zagg protection. That $13.90 is only the screen. Check if you're interested. The full body cost around $21 http://www.ebay.com/itm/220951672812?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1665wt_1139
I ve been using ebay 's cheapest for years , their the best (lol) and I do order them from hongkong and have to wait 10-15 days , fyi I ordered 6 cuz it costs only 1$ more for 6 , I usually mess up the first one I try installing , and then Im good on the second one , but 3 is not enough a few months later when I feel liek chanign it again ,, so I get 6 now ..
Amazon has the OtterBox for sale. I have not posted enough to post a link. You will need to google it.
OtterBox-77-19658-Defender-Series-HTC
thanks man. I'll post the link to Amazon.

50$

I was looking at that earlier. Is it a complete case with built in screen protector?
Picture doesn't exactly show much.
they don't have the 4g lte listed on their site yet but if it is like the one x cases then it looks like it does have plastic that will cover the screen
http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-One-X-D...2-83100_color=20&start=1&cgid=htc-one-x-cases
I brave it and never use cases. I find them bulky and makes the phone ugly. Lol.
What if I drop it :3
I think I might go with:
OtterBox 77-20042 Commuter Series for HTC EVO 4G LTE
Also on the Amazon site, but this one is the commuter series for $35ish
I've had my commuter series for my OG evo for over about a year and a half now... still going strong. The design is one of the best.
Does anyone have the Defender, or has anyone had the chance to try both for the OG evo? If so, which do you like the best?

What will you guys do until this case arrives? I'm thinking of buying a temp case and then returning it when the otterbox arrives cause we are getting the phone before the case. I would hate to drop my phone or put any scratches on it.
They posted the cases on otterbox website midnight Blue? Or black?

I held the Otterbox Defender and both standard and anti-glare invisibleshields in my hand while people on this board swore they weren't out yet. I even took pictures. Otterbox's website as well as their customer service reps had no knowledge of their existence then either. I remain wholly optimistic.

love the inflated shipping costs to make it look they have the cheapest prices.. while they are cheaper by a couple dollars.. 10 dollar shipping is a joke as i know that case would fit in the small flat rate usps box and thats 6 dollars. i see that a lot on ebay.. they will offer free shipping but their prices will be 5-10 more then others with shipping. im curious as to why they claim to have it and otterbox the company who makes them does not?
Guess I'll also pre-order the defender. cant wait for friday.
Otterbox Available
I just received tracking info from Amazon that my Otterbox Defender is on the way with Thursday delivery.
I am thinking about getting the Otterbox but the price tag seems a bit much. $35 for the commuter and $50 for the defender. Can anyone explain the difference between the 2?

the defender has another layer of protection. so its a little thicker. I also believe that it has a built in screen protector. it also includes a holster. htcpedia.com, would've made it a hyperlink but apple might sue me, has them a bit cheaper. I got the defender for $39.
Seidio accessories are now up for Pre-Order. Can't wait for the car dock.

are these anything like those crappy, bulky ottobox cases?
No. Get the surface case by Seidio. It's the best combination of protection and thinness:

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.
Will
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.

I personally prefer the Active combo. I go under desks all day.. IT, so yeah.
I've been using the Seidio Surface case and holster with my original EVO and I *love* them. My ~2 year old phone still looks almost brand new.
Been waiting for these to become available, thanks for the heads up!

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.

I've used the Active combo on my OG evo, and the best PT one for my 3d. I'm in the same boat, and works really well...... I tend to have screwdrivers/screws/keys all the bad things in the world in my pockets

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.

I just want a Seidio holster, no case this time around! I have over $300 in Otterbox(all 3), Seidio, etc. cases for my Evo 3D just sitting in a drawer never touched. 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.

Yup, the platinum series at BB is the exact same thing at $5 more.

That's my luck. Wasn't any available on amazon when I checked a few days ago and just got an Email today from Seidio. 5 off cases with MEM5 and 10 off combos with MEM10. Also I wanted to have it before I went back to work Saturday night. Ill have the case and holster on Friday. So only one day without protection.
just bought this case last week, it is amazing, and i highly recommend it to anyone looking for a full protective case. comes in 6 different colors, and is only $10 bucks.

For those that don't use Amazon for whatever reason, here it is on ebay for $9.99 free shipping, unlike amazon where shipping is free only if you spend $35 or more. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Moto...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item27fc6b95a0
Nice case, but I'm really hesitant to buy another one. I only have 20 right now.
Btw, does it come with a built in screen protector? I hate those.
No, just a regular case, it has a black rubber case that goes on, then the hard plastic back cover
