So I was having the rebooting issue that so many of us are having with different cases.... I know about the other mod where you modify the back of the phone but I did not really want to do that so I took the case and phone and really looked into the problem...
What I found was otter is putting a really nice "bump" of rubber on the inside of the case so the users get a nice and easy button push... Well after some playing i realized this made the button way to easy to push. So easy that any pressure was holding the power button down. Now our phone have a ultra slim easy to press power button as it is, but with the cases added "bump" on the inside its over kill. So I took a razor blade and SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY cut the extra bump out...

It looks a little sloppy in the pictures but by taking my time I got it smooth and flat. Now I have a little play room on the button (I actually like the feeling more now!) and it has not rebooted alllllll day.
I would say if you're like me and don't want to modifie your phone... I would try this first.... With the case on you can't see it and no body will ever know you did it when you go to sell the phone .. unless they really know what to look for.. ... But when you go to resell your phone they might notice the base cover being modified....
This might work with other cases too! Let me know what you think and let everyone know if you try it and it works with other cases!

Not sure why guys with rebooting issues don't hold the case manufacturer accountable for an obvious design flaw. I owned 4 different cases and none of them had this problem. If my case was causing my phone to reboot, I would just return it for one of the many other cases that work fine.

I finally found a case that covers the phone and you can still use the keyboard without removal. I never seen this case before and ran across it on ebay HERE.
I just order the smoke colored one I will let you know how it is when it comes in! I will use it without the clip and just throw it in my pocket.
make a picture how the wizard looks in it when you get it! look good but I wonder how much it adds to the depth of the device.
here some pics they not that great but they will do. the case doesnt add much to the overall size. fits well too.

will this case work with the 8125 also...?
it wont work because the button layout on the 8125 is different than the mda.

blah thats what i thought. I don't understand why you can't just make a jell case that covers both pieces seperately! HOW FRICKEN HARD WOULD THAT BE!?!?! Honestly! It is so frustrating. I wish I knew how to make jell cases like that and I would do it myself and make a mint selling them on eBay.
Fantastic

Wow this is exactly what I was looking for! Only is it tough? I am using the Aluminium one and believe me it has really protected the phone from some nasty drops. Though makes it bulky.
This one for 8125...

Anyone have a simple way to prevent the sides of the battery door from squeaking? Mostly on the left side. Anyone else have this issue? Happens on my oem extended and oem standard door. Thanks in advance.

I had the same case and holster for the stock battery from verizon and quit using it after my phone slid out and hit the floor 5 times...
Went back to a leather case that you put the phone in (with belt clip).
perhaps a tad of electrical grease?...

If its the same thing that's happening to me then its not so much a squeak as it is feeling like its not completely on right.

I really like the look of the blue case. Cheers for showing us these.
Looks like from doing a bit of research on google they are roughly a good $15-20 to buy so not too bad (that's Aussie dollars)

amazing... where i am buy in indonesia ?
Great case (I have one) although it doesnt cover much of the front of the phone ie front edges or buttons when lying face down on a surface and the camera/mic area is also exposed when lying down on a surface - otherwise excellent case.
Oh yea the right hand side of mine pops off and the case moves slightly back and forth over the phone causing scratches - the movement is solved with sticky tape between the back of the phone and the inside of the case.
I have incidentally since bought a Krusell case which is far far superior in many ways (see post) but does increase the size of the phone a lot more than this slim fitting profile Imak case.
P.S - dust/dirt getting between the back of the phone and the case can cause a sandpaper scratching effect between the hard surfaces and I used some sticky tape to stop the slight movement as the case moved over the phone to also stop the scratching (and the movement).
Hi Everybody this is my "Review" of the Seidio Active Combo Case that I got from Amazon this is the case without the Holster and its way cheaper hehe heree about 3 days after I got my EVOLTE well I have been using Seidio since the original Evo, I don't regret purchasing this Case it does what its suppose to putting it on the phone was easy the rubber was easily installed, while I had some trouble with the plastic because it would press against the rubber on an area, I think with time that gets better since the case is brand new.

Also the kickstand is not as durable as the one onthe EVOLTE but it does whats its suppose to, it stands just in one way contrary to the phone that you can even stand it up, for me that was not an issue since I never use the kickstand.
I wanted to show everybody right when I got the case.
Here are some more pictures
Thanks for the pics. I have the red version of this coming soon and really wanted to know what it'll look like with the phone inside.
I can barely feel the new Evo in my pocket but wanted to know if the case is bulky in your pocket?

I have the all black and it does add some thickness to it but i dont feel it makes it too bulky. Only thing I have encountered it since the screen is so darn big and goes right to the edge of the phone I sometimes miss the letters closest to edge when typing. Doesnt really bother me since my swift keyboard usually corrects. I LOVE THIS CASE!!!
it doesnt add much bulk at all, it protects the camera aswell when you put it on the table or anywere, its great
Ok... after having a tpu cover for several months i finally took it off and gone nekked.. it's my day 2 and boy it sure does feel pretty good in the hand and i'm loving the fact that i can always glance at it and admire its build quality and the overall looks of it. Although don't get me wrong...even though covers serves your cell extra protection from slippage, nicks etc it still won't prevent it from damages like scratchess and i'm just not a fan of slight bulkiness. what's your take on this???

this is what i have on full body cover http://www.ebay.com/itm/180800325521?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
cheap , one of the best in market , easy to install
I have a tpu case myself and as much of a keep it bare kind of guy HTC did a stupid thing with making the touch screen higher than the body itself. But the tpu case I'm a fan.
Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!
I have a TPU cover with translucent back that shows the rear and HTC logo. I mostly have it on for work and when working out. I go naked whenever I go to restaurants or out in public and just slip it in its Nexus One like "Andy" pouch.
