i just thought i would point out that the hole on the bottom of the evo 3d is not for prying off the battery lol... its actually a slot to loop in a lanyard or a phone charm
I never noticed that, but I'm sure its dual purpose... Who.uses those things anyways???

i do actually and it works very well, the lanyard helps ensure that i dont drop my phone while im holding it, a little extra reassurance never hurt even with an otterbox on
I was gonna say it was for the mackerfone, I used to use lanyards and it does help from dropping the phone.

Which otter box are you using? just outta curiousity....
I had the commuter series.. Until one day my phone fell out of my pocket while I was biking, hit the ground and because the silicon was so stretched out from me simply pressing the power button my phone bounced face down on one end then the other and I ended up with some pretty nice scrapes on the body of my device. I was so mad! Needless to say I don't use the otterbox anymore and have switched to the Trident Aegis and love it. I'll never use an otterbox again!
I think I read somewhere that initial commuter cases had design flaws with the silicon and that it had been corrected but whatever... Trident is awesome.

changed my account lol, but i dont use otterboxes. i was just saying that as a reference... imho otterboxes are the most unreliable case out there. that and ive seen more than my fair share of phones in otterboxes drop a mere 3-4ft and break. i invest in ballistic cases, easily the best cases out. ive dropped my OG Evo from about 1 story up and it didnt get so much as a single scratch on the phone. ive also thrown it at a concrete wall just to prove how superior it is compared to other cases lol

Comments, Would you be a bit mad too?
It is true the defender case and built in screen protector don't make sense. I ordered one for myself and one for my brother, took one look at it and said this is not going to work, right back in the package it went.
Why do people insist on putting their keys anywhere close to their phone???????!

I don't understand why anyone puts any cases on phones and tablets. Manufacturers go through alot of trouble to design and make cases like the razr with a kevlar back and we go put rubber on it.
It reminds me of when my parents used to put horrible seat covers on everything we sat down on. We got to feel and look at horrible green plastic and when we sold it for nothing later on, that's when we got touch and see the beautiful patterns and fabric we paid for.
Razr's are a thing of beauty to behold, who cares if you scratch it. it's yours right? The screen is gorrilla and unlikely to scratch with fingernails. Just don't do the keys thing and you'll be fine. I've had smartphones since the 90's and never put a case, never had a scratched screen. I've dropped each several times on carpet, tile and such, but never anything i couldn't use it with.
Do people really think they'll get value for tech stuff these days when they sell them? Don't go through so much trouble for the people who end up with your devices when you dump em in the recycled world. Use tech toys today for yourself.

thx God i found this post before i bought it..
really save my wallet now
As a contractor I need my phone on me at all times, had it with out the screen protector for a while and even my gorilla glass has scratches! Yikes, what scratched it I don't know.
I originally bought the defender, but wasn't very satisfied, mainly with the bulkiness of the case, and I also didn't really like the way the display looked through the screen protector, maybe i'm crazy...but i kept it for the better part of a week, decided it wasn't for me, so i sold it to a co-worker for the same amount I had in it ($31 @ Amazon) and ordered a commuter instead. much happier with this case.
i work in a auto manufacturing plant that is a hostile environment to a high end smart phone. wouldn't have anything less than a defender. never seen so many otterbox defender cases as i have there. It's definitely the norm.

Get the OtterBox commuter case, its perfect ;-)
I dont like the defender ones, way to bulky. I currently use the commuter case. Its slim but still offers protection and you can use what ever screen protector you want if you want.
I agree I had mine less than 6 hours and I had a noticeable scratch. That's why I put screen protecter on the phone plus the cases screen protecter. Just added peice of mind.

Razar case
I have the rzar maxx and I use the zagg screen and i found that Best Buy has a Platinum series for the Bbionic that if you don't use the rubber case the maxx fits in the cllip holster. I like the look of the razar and maxx, so I don't mind the screen protector but like the naked phone look.

Got my commuter, it fell earlier from 3 feet off a toolbox onto some carpet on the garage floor, it cracked the case all the way through in a horizontal line going left from the camera hole.
Im disappointed to say the least, Any other really good cased for durability for the droid razr?
does anyone with a razr and a defender have a solution for the weird shimmering effect the screen protector causes on the display? wrote otter and my first contact with them was met with a standard reply, i don't believe they actually read or understood my issue.

Mine unfortunately creeks and I think that it has to do with the back battery door.
I would like to find a new one so I don't have to put paper behind it to keep it from creeking.

Pretty sure I've seen them on Verizon's web site. Not terribly expensive.

---and it seems like by reputable ebay sellers??
hopefully this will fix the need for some paper behind the battery to stop the door from creeking.
will update when the new back door arrives!
Eventually these things will be everywhere like the inc2 as the back battery doors actually come with refurb replacements from Verizon. I myself had 3 extras for my inc2 lol.
Just got my new backdoor in this morning.
100% fixed the creeking noise on my phone!!
very happy about that, I have however kept a few small pieces of paper behind the door as there was a little gap frop the back door to the battery that i could feel, perhaps this was on purpose for cooling of battery? idk, not sure but my battery hasn't gotten any hotter than normal.
I've swapped out 2 battery doors and I still have the creaking. I'm fairly certain the only phones that don't creak are the iphone and droid razr/razr maxx.
my first rezound creaked like crazy, then i had a replacement sent out and it was fine. pretty weird issue to have lol.
Just add some papers the size of the battery behind the door, works wonders.
The back cover/door for the extended battery is a piece of crap, and creaks like a rusty hinge all the time. So annoying. I finally got it to almost entirely stop by taking some sticky notes and cutting two thin strips on the adhesive part, and sticking them on the sides of the inside of the back cover, then sticking a little bit of paper on top of the battery. For mine, at least, most of the sound was coming from where you grip it on the sides and this solved it.
@HTC: It's annoying that we have to do this, please take more care with the design of it on future super-phones. Save the cheap back covers for mid-range/low-end phones, in my opinion. Lol.
Og droid had a metal back cover and didn't creak. I had a bionic, and it creaked

Are you guys using some sort of death grip or something? Don't use the extended battery often but neither it or the regular door creaks.

No creaking here either.

Both mine creek. The extended one creeks the worse that's for sure. It doesn't matter how you hold it. Not the biggest deal though since I don't use it too often. I don't seem to get that much more life out of it to justify the size compared to the standard battery.

If you want an idea of the true color of it, it's very similar to the red accents on the phone. It's just like a matte shimmer, if that makes sense. It looks even better in person, trust me.
EDIT: Oh, and korm, the color is a little darker than our beloved Scarlet, but it looks awesome with a big Double T on the screen

I wouldn't say big at all. If you've used the Otterbox Commuter before, it's essentially the same size, just a little more protection. And it hugs the phone reeeeaally well. When I got the blue one, I thought the whole 6-prong thing would cause issues and stretch out. But the plastic is extremely strong and the rubber is thin, but super-high quality. I had to take the blue one off a bunch for battery pulls with all of the flashing I've done in the past few weeks. I was afraid it would start to stretch, but it was perfect every time. I expect nothing less from this red one. It's nice. Probably the first case I would say is actually worth the $30. Don't hesitate; just get it. It's worth it
Has anyone noticed the case does not have those 2 tiny holes in the back of the case? They would be just above the S on the back. Im told those 2 tiny holes in the back cover are for the phones antenna, it is said to help the reception.
Has your reception gone down? Check your -db with the cover on verses off.
that is the only thing I am concerned about, reception is -97db here at the house, yup pretty poor but I dont get any dropped calls, hopefully the cover wont cause problems

Blocking those holes does nothing to signal. It's all good. Same thing was asked about the Commuter case from Otterbox. You would essentially cover those holes anyway if you hold your phone when you talk.

Just got mine and put it on. Looks 5 stars! Feel, so far 4 stars, which is pretty good since I never use a case. It's surprisingly thin..... I may change my mind when I'm sober, but very impressed..... Sound, 1star, my creeks like a MoFo. I was hoping the case would relieve me of creeks, not amplify them. Hopefully I installed it wrong. Anyone else getting creeks?

I think this case looks really nice, but I'm concerned about those LTE holes that are covered on the back. I would think that HTC placed those holes there for a reason, and other cases do not block them. Hmm, trying to decide between this case and the Incipio.

I was worried about that to, I checked my db signal with and without the case on, It made no difference in signal and at my house the signal sux, -95db
Obviously any case will offer more protection, and this was a very expensive phone no doubt... But I dont want to get a case other than switching out the replacement back battery cover, because once you put a case on it, it makes it even larger or my hands. I love the thin profile of the note 3 and with gorilla glass it wont scratch easily, Im super careful when I set it down on flat surfaces and if I drop it well thats the chance I'll take. I also like the chrome accents and the silvery edge that goes all around the phone, any case besides a replament back cover will obviously cover the silver fake metal sides that go all around the phone.
so is this a question? looks like you already made your decision on the matter.
obviously, any accessory is an option, not a requirement. accidents happen. cases protect the phone in those incidents. it'll also keep the original housing of the phone in better condition than the usual wear and tear if you're looking to sell it later on.
If you choose not to use a case, that's perfectly fine.

I'd love to go naked, the thin profile of this phone is terrific. But I'm too scared so this is why i like the official Samsung flip covers that replace the back cover. They maintain the thin profile but at least offer some more protection than going naked. As a great bonus they turn the screen on and off when you open and close the cover respectively.
Its not if you don't plan to sell anytime soon. Screen protectors degrade image quality and most non OEM cases look tacky.
I got the slim fit spigen case. Initial trial of it, although it's probably not adding a whole lot of weight, it feels like it is compared to when I was running naked for the first couple weeks while waiting for it to come in. I've since opted to run naked. I do have a slim armour spigen coming in for days where I will be a bit more active or if I'm mounting it onto something.
IMO, flip cases are annoying because I snap photos all the time, and the flip cases simply get in the way requiring me to hold it with two hands when other cases just one hand operation to snap works. As well unless it's the s-view ones, its super annoying to flip open everytime you want to check something small like the time.
My phone itself is naked.
I can't stand flipcases, as the flap keeps getting in the way of everything. (I'm a woman, so I have even less chance of holding it in one hand, Meaning I always have the flap in the palm of my hand.)
Screen protectors look ugly, are a nightmare to apply and reduce the screen quality. My phone goes nowhere near my keys, so it's not needed.
I am keeping an eye out for an aluminium backcover, but so far there's very little of them. Those that are available don't ship outside the US.
I do keep the phone in a walletcase when it's in my pocket or on the table. This way I can lay it on top of the case so I don't scratch the camera: http://shop.golla.com/epages/Golla.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Golla/Products/G1406
I admire you naked guys really, I don't dare that my 700€ device could drop and brake. It's a huge device in hand and if you do a work that is hard the phone eventually will drop, also you cannot grab it fully with 1 hand. Offcourse I love also the slim naked feel of it but I don't risk it. Atm I have a clear bumber and a tempered tr glass till my Spigen case arrives and I feel secure.

It's silly to not have a case on a $700 device that you use throughout each and every day. I work in cellular retail and every time someone brings in a broken smartphone without a case I ask them about it, and their response is always along the lines of "I'm always super careful and this has never happened before!" and half the time they don't have insurance either.
Accidents happen, which is why they are called accidents; no one can be 100% sure they won't have a careless moment. Not to mention sometimes it's someone ELSE'S carelessness that can end with your phone being broken.
Verizon has a thin shell case (with optional holster) that provides a little grip, a handy kickstand, and most importantly a bit of a raised edge along the screen and camera. It probably won't help much for a 6 ft drop on concrete, but it's definitely better than nothing at all and will at least help prevent scratches if you are against screen protectors.

my last three main daily driver phone I ran naked. Asus PDA (plastic screen), T-Mobile dash, HTC evo 3d. There were some other pretty boss phones in that mix of the last ten years but those were the phones I loved. Non of them had screen protectors or cases. I got my NOTE3 and now I have been protector/case concerned. The device is just so thin and so jewelry like that I'm going to wrap it up tight and see if it adversely effects the experience. Not Otterbox tight, I never understood that methodology. I'm going glass screen protector and slimmest of cases. Unles there is an artful reason to do otherwise which I think is possible. But I need a Golla bag without Zipper or carbineer, just dual belt loop. A saggy bag with a big velco flap that I can use as a transport mechanism. Hard clip holsters suck. I want padded sliding desert bag style low profile, that I set on my belt in the morning with loops and forget about until night. A few years ago Golla had that exact thing. Now they don't. I'm just going to sew myself what I want out of canvas until the market catches up. Horizontal belt clip? are you kidding me?
1 question? Are you mad? This phone? Naked? This is a precious baby you don't go naked with this. It's that awesome I'm waiting for the otterbox.

Not Otterbox tight, I never understood that methodology. I'm going glass screen protector and slimmest of cases. Unles there is an artful reason to do otherwise which I think is possible. But I need a Golla bag without Zipper or carbineer, just dual belt loop. A saggy bag with a big velco flap that I can use as a transport mechanism. Hard clip holsters suck. I want padded sliding desert bag style low profile, that I set on my belt in the morning with loops and forget about until night. A few years ago Golla had that exact thing. Now they don't. I'm just going to sew myself what I want out of canvas until the market catches up. Horizontal belt clip? are you kidding me?

No, not very likely; I'm asexual. Me having children is something that'll never happen.
I occasionally teach 6-12 year olds for a day. (a few friends of the family are primary school teachers, they sometimes ask me to do photography, tech or design classes for them.)
Not a chance in hell am I letting them touch my phone. Or my tablet. Or my laptop. Or my camera. Or anything else that could easily be damaged.
Also, according to Google a jackalope is a rabbit with antlers.. Is Google on drugs or is that actually correct?

But letting a child hold your 1000 dollar phone is even more idiotic.... I would not let it hold a 200 dollar phone, let alone something that costs more than the average car.
Also, what's a jackalope?

Your $700 N3, wait I mean $1000 N3 costs more than the average car? You don't let anyone touch your phone? My girl can use it anytime she wants, if she needs it. My godson could as angry birds on it anytime as well... It's only a phone. It's insured, and of not, easily replaceable. The day any material possession becomes more valuable than a person in my life, is a sad day indeed.
PS- I absolutely love my phone too. Just not as much as people in my life.

This is correct. Remember Americas Funniest Home videos from years ago?

Yes, 1025 USD, it's 750 euros here. Welcome to Europe.
I'm 22, you don't seriously think people my age can afford cars over that price I should hope. Certainly not in this economy.
I suppose that's the difference, I don't have such people in my life.

Only by name. I tend to avoid SBS6 and RTL4.
