Getting one of those 3M vinyl sticker skins for my evo 3d (i had a voucher so i thought make use of it). they won't offer much protection but hey ho thats what insurance is for. I've made my own design up, just having a hard time finding a company that does the skin template i want cuz alot of them skip the sides or the front etc etc....

here's my evo 3D finally done (sort of)
Those are pretty nice.
Exactly what Im using on my Evo 3D I love it, still can use a TPU case if i want and even with this decal on I can still use my dock and my phone has at least minimal protection... here is a stock photo

i'm guessing that's from wrappz.....i asked them if they would alter the template to include some changes and they said to me to cough up £30 + the cost of the skin I would buy. The changes were to cover the parts of the camera hub and also the side bezel of the screen. The side bezels of the screen they've done it on desire HD but not on evo 3D even though its the same dimensions so i don't get why they did that
Yeah its from Wrappz, thats odd!
I have a clear plastic case anyhow so most of the phone is protected
Need to keep my little baby safe lol
i got insurance so i don't bother....i've made my own template at the moment, the trouble is printing it out on what's called contact paper because apparently it takes a day to dry and has issues with printing ....not too sure on that one
sneak peak of my new design =D
its done (sort of)
Ordered it from someone but it has a bit of a fitting issue, messaged him so he can fix it and send me out a replacement.....still did the best I could so voila
Changed the design because I wasn't happy with it.
^ super sexy . Who did it ?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
I did the design ...then asked someone to print it out (won't say who cuz they made a mess of it for now)
I need to find the paper to do this myself because I think i have a decent enough template
A like this vavu

So I was at my local gas station that also sells phones and accessories. I was looking at their EVO section when I spotted this? I asked to see it and noticed that it said EVO 3D R on it. hmmm, $3.99 cents later I have it in my hands. It appears that the evo 3D is thinner, taller but not as wide.
I compared it side by side with my EVO 4G in a case the same thickness. The evo 4g without a case is about the same thickness as the evo 3d case!

If thats really the case how is it a 4.3 inch screen. It must be like the droid x. I have a evo 4g and a friend at work has a droidx and his screen was longer length wize but mine was width wize. I hope not cause i like the size and the screen on the 4g. Just have to wait for it to come out and see.
hmmm, i actually like the taller design of the EVO 3d. The 4G always felt to wide for me.
I think the taller phone can be better for using it in your hands, and using portrait apps, but for video and web browsing, the older form factor is better, so I'm ticked off and happy for different reasons.
The reason it is taller is because QHD is 16:9 aspect ratio, I'm pretty sure the evo was 16:10 or 5:3.
So it should be better for vids because it will play in the natural aspect ratio.

What's the feel of TPU? Slick or grippy?
Have you ever used an Incipio feather? Is it the same kind of feeling?

i got mine at my local mall. lucky for me there a ghost armor booth inside my mall. $15 FOR SCREEN and $10 for back.. so in all $25.
In the last six months Ive had a G2, G2x and two SGT's covered in Ghost Armor.
EVERY one of them have started peeling and the screen protection will start to look like orange peel after about 2 month.
I feel guilty because in the beginning I was telling people how great it was. As they all peel off, I go buy real cases that offer more than simple scratch protection and I would NEVER consider putting my Evo 3D in this stuff.
Hope your experience is different than mine, but I dont see how it could be.

Your absolutely right... and as I said I hope your experience is different than mine!
Didn't mean to pee in your corn flakes!
I will never use the kickstand so I am looking for a case that covers the back. One that is smooth and thin.
I'm sure I'll never use the kickstand either, but I still like the look of it and I like the fact that most cases don't cover it.
Can't you get the One X case. That phone doesn't have a kickstand

The Evo and One X are different sizes, as well as completely different in appearance.
I just ordered the Ventev Edge holster and case combo thru amazon.

I have this case it is real nice for the price. I'd say every bit as good as the seidio active, although the holster doesn't seem as well designed. Just got it today so we'll see how the quality is as time goes on. I'll be switching between this and the defender while at work because I'm a mechanic and my phone can see some pretty severe conditions.

I resemble that remark completely. It's like we're connected in some way. Now we're not. Yes we are.
I'm thinking about using full body skins instead of a case. Is anyone else protecting the phone this way? How is it working for you?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I would like to know as well. I did that on original EVO, and it worked well. I can't believe how many times I dropped the EVO on hard surfaces and had it be totally fine. The LTE feels more delicate. But I really don't want to add any additional size, I already wish it was about an inch shorter.
I'm using the full body Zagg. But the HD screen protector. The screen protector is about to be replaced with a steinheil.
I also ordered a skinomi, but zagg ended up being the first available. So I should have the skinomi as well in another day or two and I can compare the two. Generally speaking the skinomi is less rubbery, and leaves less finger prints then the zagg.
All in all, I like skins as they dont detract from the look of the device, and they don't add bulk. I don't typically drop my phones so I don't worry about that.
The only downside to the skin would be the smudges and fingerprints. Instead of making the glossy plastic part matte like some people would like to do, the whole back becomes glossy. but knowing the skin can be removed a year later and it will look brand new is totally worth it.

I purchased the skinomi full body as well and planned to use that with the zagg hd screen protector. My zagg has some indentations /scratches that have not self- healed after two days. I wonder if the skinomi will be better and does the hd really matter? I also considered a carbon fiber skin, but I don't want to change the look of the phone, and but yes, fingerprints...

I got the Skinomi brushed steel full skin. When it comes in and I get it on I will post some pics. This phone is huge and I dont want an even bigger case for it.
I am using the XO Skin. It works great. The phone feels so slim with it.
It will not provide much drop protection though.

I just ordered a matte-finish black skin from decalrus.com, waiting to see how that works out. (I used the zagg black leatherskin on my old Evo, this one couldn't really carry that off, even if it was available.)

I don't know about this specific device, but i have used one for my other device. I bought it because I want to keep the sleek look of the phone. It protects from scratches, but it doesn't protect much from being broken.
Just a quick question, does Sprint do any cosmetic repair? Such as scratches or dints in the corner ect?
I dropped my Evo LTE one time when there was no case on it and it has a couple scrapes ect around the edges. Do Sprint do any kind of casing or housing repair?
I dont mind coming out of pocket to get it done. I would try to just buy the parts and do the job myself but these phones get more and more complicated to put together these days.

I don't think sprint will do anything as it would most likely require a new aluminun chassis.If the edges are just rough from where it hit the ground,you can smooth them off with an emery board or fine grit sandpaper.
Sprint won't do cosmetic repair even if you pay out of pocket. I tried when I dropped my Evo 3D and they told me to take it to a third party. It has to be something the effects the functionality of the phone for sprint to repair it.

I never could stand the shiny back cover, but I just bought a lightweight, low profile snap-on case (not some giant Otter monstrosity), and all is good now. You might go that route... you'll never see the scratches, and its still thin and streamlined looking.

my opinion just buy a case preferably a otterbox u wont even notice it unless your screen is damaged
Go to Best Buy and pick up the 'Platinum Series' case. This is the case that I've used on all three of my HTC EVOs. It does an extremely good job at protecting your phone, PLUS it's really thin and comes with a holster. The corners of the phone doesn't even make contact with the inside of the case. This is truly the best case that I've used throughout the years.
