Searching Ebay I found this case...
What do you guys think?
In my opinion it looks great but I'm concern in how's is gonna feel in hands and pocket becuase reading the info is like half silicon and half aluminum...
Is anybody's whants to Search it:
Item code: 140576723634
I say it sure looks nice. If it is silicon inside and aluminum outside, should provide a lot of protection. Might add a good amount of weight.
Never know when it comes to these eBay third party cases.

That does look like a pretty sweet case. I especially noticed how, considering it's a cheap ebay case, the camera holes seem perfectly centered. On my $50 Defender the camera holes are slightly off center, makes me wonder what Otterbox's profit margin is (think Monster Cable). It does look nice and has some nice extras. One thing that concerns me is that it seems (through my past experience) that 2 piece hard plastic cases tend to come off the phone as soon as it hits the ground. I know the back is metal but the metal is attached to a hard plastic shell correct? Does it seem like it might come off easy? Just concerned because I had a hard plastic case on my OG EVO and the one time I dropped it the case popped right off and my EVO went skidding across the ground. Just hate to spend the money on a product that fails at the exact time you need it to do it's job.

The aluminum is adhered to what I believe is acrylic so that It's one piece. Its a snap on case. It fits tight. I'm not sure how easy its going to be to take on and off to swap batteries.

I'm liking the glossed white one w/kickstand myself. Is the kickstand pretty sturdy? Do you use any charger stands that allow this to slip in fine? Car mount?
Looks like a nice quality case...but 2.4 oz? Seems quite heavy...so had to weigh my boxwave which is .95 oz.
anyway, thanks for posting the info on the otterbox.

I bought the gloss white one; very nice, and the kickstand is sturdy...
I don't have it any sort of dock, since I don't think there is a dock that will hold almost any phone inside its case..If you want to be able to dock your phone, it needs to be case-free..
I Don't use a mount in the car either.

FYI Amazon now has these in stock at $30.45 shipped (via Prime for free 2 day delivery)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PYMFZ2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Looks like they are only fulfilling orders from one seller so if they sell out the free shipping will go away and the price will change until they get their own stock or start fulfilling for another 3rd party.

Click on the link I posted above then click on 22 New under more buying choices. If you have Prime it is currently 29.45 with free 2 day shipping. There is a cheaper one for 24.99 but it also has 4.48 shipping.
They don't ship to PR so I got it from Otterbox with a coupon and free shipping...
2 x $81
You can buy at shopatewe from $24.99 fs. I found this site through slickdeals priced at 34 but the site shows $24.99 with FS.
Got my Otterbox Commuter today. I finally found a case I'm 100% happy with. I've tried the Seidio w/ Kickstand (silicone was lose and the kickstand felt cheap), the Samsung flip cover (didn't like the lack of protection for sides), a few TPU cases (they were ok), and the Speck Candyshell (like everyone said the back starts to scratch immediately).
The Otterbox is slightly larger than the Speck but not really noticeable. Case fits the phone like a glove. Silicone feels much better than the Seidio. S-pen is easily removable. Case feels much more protective than the TPU cases I tried. Hard plastic makes it easily removable from my pocket without the easily scratch-able plastic the Speck case had. So far I have not found a downside to the case. If you have used a Commuter case in the past you know what you are getting.
In addition for those that were wondering the Commuter comes with 2 screen protectors, 1 for the International version and 1 for the AT&T version. However, I can't comment on quality since my Boxwave Crystal is working fine.
Yep still digging the case! I dont know about you but the case does feel good in the hand
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.

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?

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.
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.

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 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

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.

I personally prefer the Active combo. I go under desks all day.. IT, so yeah.

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 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.

Thanks for the SHOW2012 code. It basically cancels out the shipping cost of 5$
Yup, the platinum series at BB is the exact same thing at $5 more.

Well, apparently amazon has the seidio cases already.
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSR3HT..._20?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337822438&sr=1-20
I just ordered it for 27$ w/shipping.
Still cheaper than seidio with the coupon.

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.
