Trident Kraken!!
Just bought this last week. Shipping was fast and it has attachments!
I have the Ballistic case. It's very well made, easy to get on and off and the price is right. It's $18 at Amazon
I like my $00.89 case from eforcity. Just because of the price. Lol
I also like my Aegis because of the protection it provides. It's only used for work tho.

i like the custom aegis case! i might do that myself
I have the D30 protective case and the D30 powercase, though it's not often I use the powercase, pretty comfortable with the protective case, buttons were stiff at first but with so much use of the buttons they're normal now.
Had a Balastic case and worked great till it snapped around the volume rocker. Gonna gorilla glue it and should be fine. Only downfall is.....it is huge! Phone is already a decent size and the Ballastic case makes it even bulkier. Still worked great and was uber protected.
Also have a cheap TPU argyle case, but fits like poo, so don't use it much.
Liking the el cheapo case/Holster I got off Amazon. Rocking that for now. Can't even think of the name, but actually looks nice and protects it.....just not like my Ballastic.
Trident cases are nice too, but IMO to expensive! Can't find them under 30 smacks... I refuse to pay more than 20. I am cheap, yep I am!

I don't recommend the matte finish. Use gloss or semi-gloss. It holds dirt and its hard to come off. Also might want to prep the surface if you really want it to hold. Mine is peeling off..

I have the HTC Amaze 4G D3O Dual Impact Case.
It's a great low profile case that will give the best protection.

I currently have the Ballastic case but looking at that D30 case above me... Looks like it may provide me with the same protection but in a slimmer profile... Agh. Need to stop spending money on cases!
Don't get me wrong. I love the ballastic case and it feels great holding but I just want something a bit thinner but also with great protection.

how good are the side buttons? i think they would be weird because they are plastic inserts pretty much... do they work ok? (i dont want to spend $30 and be stuck with something i dont like lol)
just got these cases, they are very light and don't add any bulk at all. it also includes a free screen protector but i did not try to use it since i already have one on.

Basic TPU cases, right? That is my choice as well.
i don't think the raindrop cases are tpu, it seems to be some kind of flexible plastic that is much thinner and lighter than tpu. tpu case will offer more protection than this case. my choice is also the tpu case... the raindrop case only offers enough to protect the back but it is very light. it would need a bit of extra care using this vs. tpu or other well protected cases. it does look great on the white amaze though, i also enjoying telling people that want to see the phone that i just accidentally dropped it into the toilet.

Hello all...
I have never posted anything related to accessories, but after buying over 20 different cases for my E3d, this was by far my favorite and only $2.99 plus shipping.
No kick stand, but light, clean, clear, perfect, and the best of all... WILL NOT MAKE YOUR PHONE TOO TICK OR BULKY!
To me, it was the best one I found... AMAZING!!! I fell in love with my phone all over again...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XYHVPQ
All the best to you all!
Seems pointless with the bottom edge left unprotected.
I prefer the traditional TPU cases, not bulky or thick to me and best of all, they provide complete edge protection.
Like it but it seems like you might as well go naked. Not very much protection on there. Probably gives a nice grip though sense it's rubberized.
I have that case too and agree with you OP. It's great for all I'm looking for in a case (mainly just protecting the camera). I have a tpu case as well, but this one makes the phone seem much thinner. I'm sure it won't do much for drops, but I don't make it a habit to drop my phone on hard surfaces .
Best case so far?
That is completely subjective and based upon each individual's needs.
I for one found that the best case for my needs was an inexpensive hard plastic case that has a carbon fiber look it doesn't offer much protection if I drop it because it doesn't have any silicone lining...but it serves my purpose - that of being able to fit in the iGrip car dock. I also have a Otterbox Commuter case which offers much more protection. It just isn't the best case for my needs.
I ordered the transparent grey version. Looks a lot like the Case-Mate barely there case but about a quarter of the price. Works for me as this and the case-mate offer the same protection either way.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XYHVCY
I was definitely intrigued by that case when I was shopping for one, but I prefer to have complete edge protection. I went with TPU and am extremely happy with it.

I'm always curious as to which would offer more drop protection, a TPU case or a Seidio Surface case. One's hard plastic the other is TPU but they both cover all the edges. Would either material handle a drop better?
Here's the Surface case.

Interesting. Is the rubber it self actually thinner than the TPU cases? Adding that little strip of protection across the top and bottom doesnt seem like it adds much bulk.

Corners are well protected. I just don't see how I can damage the botton and top. Main reason I use a cover is to protect agains falls, glass breakage, and such. The only way I an scretch the botton and top is if I atually let something like my keys scratch it... but I never put it together...
So I have VERY good protection without adding more than a very few millimeters on the size... By the way, it protects the camera very well.
While I had my evo, my case was similar (not top or bottom) but much, much thicker... and I had NOT ONE scratch on the phone... what I mean is, I really like the no top / bottom, but its all personal opinion. If you don't mind it, this is the case to go!

The TPU (I got one with the diamonds inside) was my favorite and the one I was using before the I mentioned above, definately a great choice too!
I got something similar from a website that ships from Singapore. There are 2 types one is half the price as the case mate barely there, other is less than $3.
$3 version (not see thru like the OP version)
http://www.obostore.com/hard-plastic-case-skin-faceplate-for-htc-evo-3d-p-1404.html
$14 version - I think slightly better finish than the $3 version and the one I am using.... I bought both.

However, it will take almost 2 weeks to get.
i snagged this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400229635377
it is nice.. protects the cameras also!
Didnt find pictures of the ballistic sg case so i decided to take some and compare them to the other cases that i have. Hopefully this will help make your decision on a case

Do you have a reputable seller? If so can you provide a link? And can you possibly recommend a holster, seeing as you know the dimensions intimately?

here is a link to where i bought mine, took 2 days to get to me.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BALLISTIC-S...937?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23139dd431
And i can not recommend a holster as i do not use one for this phone.
My red case also arrived yesterday. Here are my impressions:
1. The case looks nice. 2. The case is bulkier than I expected. 3. The case mutes the speaker phone slightly. The speaker is not covered, but a cut out around the speaker would have maximized the volume. 4. I'm confident in the protection the case provides, and I like the case's look. 5. A kickstand would have been nice. 6. The hand-feel is excellent. Whereas the caseless Evo 3d feels hard to grip to me, this case fits my hand well, especially because of the flared corners.
I'm happy with this case and its high level of protection, but I can't wait for someone to make a thin TPU case with thick rubber in the corners to absorb the shock in a drop.

Right now im using the Ballistic as an everyday case.
I used to use the Otterbox as the everyday case but it collected alot of dirt and lent on the silicone portion, the ballistic doesnt seem to do that at all.
With the TPU the case wont be as protected but i do like how it keeps the phones slim profile.

Good to hear about the lint on the ballistic. That was a concern if mine as well. One reason why I was leaning towards the TPU. Now I may get the ballistic.

I have the ballistic case too. ALthough, I do love it, i have gotten SOO many comments about how huge my phone is that it's starting to wear on me. I hate having to pull out the phone from it's case just to prove that hey it's actually pretty slick without the cover.
BUT then, it beats the purpose of having a sleek phone doesn't it? I think I'm going caseless. UNLESS, someone can recommend a thin silicone case that has the same feel as the inner layer of the ballistic case.
I almost considered just using the first layer of the Ballistic case by itself but it's a little lose without the red part clamping down everything. Any recommendations?
What are some cases that are similar (in terms of protection) to the Otterbox case, but without the silicon layer? I don't like how it collects pocket lint and dust and stuff. My friend had a case for his iPhone 4 that was made of soft plastic but it wasn't silicon. I think it might have been an Otterbox case but I can't remember for sure. If no such cases exist, is there anything I can do to prevent the silicon layer from collecting so much dust/lint/etc?

I am aware of those other threads. None of the cases mentioned fits my preferences. I want one with no silicon, but a soft plastic. Your sarcastic use of a screenshot as a reply (with no actual text besides an ellipsis) to my post was unnecessary and offensive. And you never answered my question about keeping the case clean either. Did you even bother reading the text in my actual post?

The, cyclops is reported to be very good for protection, and has an external shell, which covers most of the silicone.
For a higher level, the ballistic hc has an optional outer silicone, so for daily pocket use I plan to take off the outer. Its not breaking news but hope it helps

Yea the post above says it best. Take.the rubber layer off the ballistic and you have exzactly what your looking for. I posted pics of the ballistic witout the rubber layer in my post comparing it to otterbox. If you need more pics let me know. It fits in holster without rubber layer and the kickstand is a plus

Your friends iPhone case was probably a Speck CandyShell case, or sounds like it at least. In my opinion that's the best phone case out, but they are almost completely iPhone exclusive with a few exceptions every now and then... Anyway, the case I used is the Trident Aegis case. It's about the same protection as the defender, and the silicone doesn't attract hardly anything. You might check it out.
the new iphone 4S defender cases have a tougher silicone layer which doesn't feel like it woudl collect as much pocket lint. Much stiffer material, a pain to get on/off, but feels better in the hand.
You should give the Acase Superleggero dual pro it doesn't have as much protection as the otterbox but its by far the most attractive case
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I agree, the Trident Aegis is a superior case to the Otterbox Commuter. Much nicer looking, fits way better, doesn't attract koodies hiding in your pocket, and looks like it'll do a better job if your phone decides it wants to land on one of it's four corners. Wait,... gotta revisit the "nicer looking" part. Just take the "Much" off of it and maybe run with, "looks as nice as the Commuter case". All-in-all, I think the Aegis is a nicer package compared to the Commuter. Some say the Aegis offers protection close to the Defender. Personally, I don't see that though. Besting the Defender when it comes to just plain protection ain't easy. Interested in what you guys think when it comes to Aegis vs Commuter.
Kraken is better then the defender lol smooth and you get the full screen to use also no lint issues plus it's thinner too

Hello all and thank you in advance for reading my post. I do my best to “pay it forward” when I can.
I recently just switched my service over to Verizon (love the service) and bought a Note 3 (love this phone). I was using an S3 with an Elago Breathe case. It was a great case but more for light duty use. The Note 3 is so nice I would hate to have it covered all of the time so I would like to swap cases based on my situation. The slim cases go on and come off easy but when you get into cases like the Otterbox they seem to be a “put it on and leave it on” type of a case. I just want something mainly for protecting against drop and slight bangs. I “think” the Otterbox defender would be overkill and very large. So out of the light to heavy duty cases what ones go on and come off easy?

Just any TPU case from ebay, which can be very inexpensive...will do the job and not give you problems when it comes to battery removal. I am using a goospery case....in red. I love it! My idea is that if you drop your phone anyways, you might be screwed...so HOLD onto it. Get square trade insurance...and you're good to go! Just MY two cents!!!

Nice, is that comparable protection wise? I like that case but I have heard mix reviews about the rubber on it. What have you seen?
This is one of my personal favorites, its a mix of TPU and a hard shell that is wrapped around it. The fit and finish is excellent and its not too bulky. The case also comes off in one piece and goes on just by popping your phone into it.

This is one of my personal favorites, its a mix of TPU and a hard shell that is wrapped around it. The fit and finish is excellent and its not too bulky. The case also comes off in one piece and goes on just by popping your phone into it.

How would this compare to the Commuter series?

Nice, is that comparable protection wise? I like that case but I have heard mix reviews about the rubber on it. What have you seen?

I haven't had any problems with protection so far, but I do have two little scratches where I have dropped it, but no rubber peeling and no problems with the felt on the inside of it either.
Just purchased the Trident Aegis case from amazon for $18 and it rocks! rubber surround, with plastic backing (hybrid) superb protection, free sp. does not add too much bulk, and it looks great, Will post pics if you want me to. I have always used Trident cases and they are awesome, oh and it comes off easy too. I got the green one

In terms of protection it doesn't. Commuter is the stronger case and also has a much better lip to protect the screen. That being said the commuter also makes the phone twice as thick whereas the slim armour is a bit more svelte. The slim is also easier to take on and off from the phone although the commuter isn't that difficult, it's just that you have to do it in two pieces.

Hi everyone! Just recently got this behemoth of a phone, and it is just too beautiful to go naked bc if I dropped it, it's over. So that saying, my mom has a Galaxy note 2 and she has a case-mate POP case from AT&T on clearance for like $5, and it's a solid case. I want a case similar to this case, where if the phone landed on it's face, it won't be damaged a lot since there's enough lip on the case. This won't really be a major factor since I will be putting a tempered glass protector on it. The major thing I'm trying to find is a case where it won't eat a lot of lint if you do fit it in your pocket, and won't slip off at the corners if you do drop it! I have seen cases that is made out of just TPU claiming tight fit, but as soon as it lands, the phone goes one way and the case goes the other, and also the battery....
I have seen the spigen slim armor, and it looks solid compare to the neo-hybrid. All the other cases are too bulky, like the lovemei, or the ballistic series. Please list your suggestion, and real life photos of the case, including the lip clearance on the screen if you can so I can make my decisions Thanks a lot once again!:good::fingers-crossed:
Slim Armor is a good option if you don't want too much bulk. This case fits very snugly and won't come off unless you pill it off. It provides only modest drop protection though. If you want really good protection an Otterbox commuter or similar such as trident aegis would be better. Those cases make the phone significantly larger though.

I just got the spigen neo hybrid and it's a really nice slim case. I love the styling. Seems like it should be adequate protection for normal use. I just got it today though so not going to comment on the long term.

I've been using my note 3 naked till I got a rock joyful case. It increased the width but not the thickness of the overall feel and it's harder to remove the s-pen but it give me a safer feeling when using it without worrying if drop compared to naked!

Even I have that case it's pretty good but I don't like that plastic rim feels cheap, now using UAG navigator probably the best case for our device imo

thank you all for your answer! The urban armor looks decent but still pretty thick. The otterbox series I don't like since that's over bulking, the spigen slim armor is possibly the best case imo but I don't know how good it is until one of the guy here said it's pretty tight fit

I have one of these cases..probably the best things ever. Had one for my S4 previously, and it took so much damage! My phone is a big thicker now, but it's protected without being otterbox thick
I have both a UAG and otterbox commuter. Used to use those cheap tpu case and I thought it was fine until I dropped any bent my speaker grill.
Ever since then, I'm addicted to UAG. Beware of fakes though. I feel the otterbox a bit too heavy to use.
