I have seen images of cases. I have heard rumors of hdmi cord. I have not heard much else other than that. Has anyone heard of other accessories I'm curious to see what will be available.

Ill have about 6 different TPU case styles well before launch on tpu-cases.com Mine aren't going to have a giant hole in the back like the crap ones that are on the market now. Im thinking Ill have a red geometric or argyle pattern, solid gloss red, solid gloss black, smoke argyle or geometric and clear geometric. Probably have some sort of pink as well. Any other colors you guys want?

Carbon Fiber would be sic as well

Im talking about the single large camera hole that some manufacturers are using. Not only does it look ridiculous it leaves a good amount of the phone exposed. My cases will have 3 smaller holes, one for each camera and one for the flash. Looks much nicer and protects more of the phone.

Its not down, no. Should be working. Chrome and carbon fibre are not colors you can make TPU cases in. The fancy blue could be done though.

Can you make a flat black one? Like a matte finish
Sorry, plain red no gloss? And will your cases cover all/most buttons?

You should name your colors with a bit more jazz. Spicy Orange, Electric Yellow or Blue, Manly Pink.
But yeah, I take a spicy orange color if you make one.

Please, please, please (please!) make an emerald green gloss one. Dark, deep, emerald that is (possibly) translucent so I get the gem quality.
There are several TPU on amazon now, ships tomorrow, but no green. The blood red is quite nice, but I really would prefer emerald green.
Did I mention emerald green?
Yes I will be have a solid red, not something I usually do but I will for Evo 3D since its in the color scheme. I won't have any matte cases, only gloss. They just don't sell as well in matte. I have been wanting to do a darker green for sometime but haven't done it yet. I probably will for the 3D but it won't be in the first bunch. As for Amzer/Luxmo and Fommy they are all the same India based company. Not the best service but their products are quality, or have been in the past. They just changed manufacturers for their TPU cases so it remains to be seen how good the new batch is.

We are now using cutouts for all buttons except the volume rocker which will be a molded design. So many requests from customers to have a cutout for the power button that we started doing it a few models back.
Also im going to do an extended battery case for the Evo 3D just as soon as the door is released. My goal is to start bring extended battery cases to market weeks after release instead of the 6 month time frame its taking now.
The first couple colors (black, smoke) will be on sale in a couple of days, hopefully before Friday.

Cool,atleast I have a date now. I've been hitting up your site everyday. Those cases are really nice. I currently have a case mate on my hd2 (hard case). That son of a ***** cracked the first time I dropped it. All the corners are busted off it. I'm done with hard cases. Can't wait to try yours Please reconsider doing flat black.
Just thought I would share, phantom skinz is having a chromatics 50% off sale right now for labor day weekend just add to cart and enter promo code laborday50. ENJOY! I just ordered the white chromatics carbon fiber skin.
Don't work for them just felt like giving back to the community
Edit: Here's the direct link for those who are unaware of phantom skinz http://phantomskinz.com/ for me this beats any other ski, especially the zagg.
Some pictures (Sorry I did a crappy job of applying the skin because of all the distractions that occurred randomly at my house).
Any one have pictures of this brand installed?
Just ordered the Candy Apple Red (to match the red on the stock case) yesterday. Will post pictures once I apply it.

Thanks for the heads up. For $30 not worth it, but for $15 it is imo. I just ordered the Pearl White one. Free shipping too in case anyone is wondering.
I have the black carbon fiber Phantom Skin installed on my Evo 3D. Very happy with it, quality is top notch. Easy to install, screen protector is above average. The skin is a bit rough to the touch for a couple days but it does smooth out and I don't even notice it now. It also picks up a bunch of lint the first couple days but again this goes away. Let me know if there are any other questions.

Yeah a black carbon one.. Waiting for it to arrive.
I got my white one yesterday. These things are extremely hard to put on. I am terrible at it anyway. I should have known better. It looked terrible so I pulled it off. In the flat areas it actually looked really good, but the corners looked awful. I'm glad it came with 2 screen protectors and 2 camera glass protectors our I would be mad right now for wasting money on it. If you have a stay hand and some good patience then you should be alright. I am good st installing screen protectors, but when it comes to wrapping things around the corners I am terrible at it.

Fair warning: it took a lot of patience, a great deal of time, and a heat gun to get it looking like this. It was intense.

I like the look, but I am more interested in the texture.
While the Aluminum back makes for a sexy device, it is attrocious for holding. I would like the rubberized feel of either the silicone skin or the hard cover. Then I could ditch the extra mass from the hard cover.
How is the texture on this? Does it feel like plastic, rubber or paper?

Yeah. Simulated wood grain. Think interior artificial wood paneling.

Does it feel cold like the aluminum? I just can't seem to carry the flyer naked, it feels very weird in my hands and I guess I am paranoid about scratching up the aluminum.

I had already looked at the DecaGirl skins... But as mine is also in a folio case, I decided not to get one. But it does look awesome.
So, a while back, a few people mentioned dinging or scratching the bezel around the screen to find it was metal, and from there a few people asked if anyone had gone so far as to strip the paint off to reveal the metal. Ala: iPhone silver bezel style.
Well, I did just that. I have the pix posted over on Infected Forum.

I thought about doing this after my phones paint started fading but it ended up breaking and got a replacement. How did you removed the paint? I was going to try some kind of paint remover so the metal doesnt get scratched up or maybe buff it off with a dremmel fabric tip. The metal under there doesn't look uniform or is that due to the way you took the picture? I think also shoulda left the one by the camera button and switch black.
EDIT: NM about my question of how you did it, I just read the rest of the other thread to see exactly what you did.

I thought about a paint remover but was hesitant of that with the screen and such. I'm good with a Dremel, so I used that. I also figured the tip I used was going to cause an uneven look, which is what I was... Not "hoping for" but figuring would.happen and was prepared to go on to the next step of getting that out. But I liked the raw look that happened and wanted to keep it. Kindof looking forward to it oxidizing. Lol.

No, you see there are other comments that aren't positive. They also aren't **** about it. Constructive criticism is welcome. I get that it won't be loved, most would prefer the shiny approach, of which, I'm sick off and prefer gritty, old, industrial look.

Sorry... I didn't see it but I am new to the DNA so I guess I should have looked harder! Do you like them?
I have the black version of this case, only thing I don't like is it being too tight.:what: and volume keys are a pain to press. But it smells like real leather... And looks beautiful. Much better than the Samsung flip covers. As an extra comes with a nice screen protector as well.
If your on the fence on getting it.... Don't wait any longer and buy it, you will like it!!!
