Trying to get a head start on accessories before I get the phone, lol.
Does anyone own the High Gloss Silicon Case available direct from Verizon. It comes in 3 colors. $19.99 each.
They have a sale this weekend, buy 3 items get 20 percent off, buy 5 items get 30 percent off.
I was planning on getting the screen protectors directly from them also, and maybe an extra STANDARD size battery.
What do you guys think?
Here is the Verizon link:

oy that's expensive.
honestly, i'd just reccommend checking out cruzerlite tpu cases...go checkout my thread for pics, reviews and links to their stuff..they're much cheaper than 20 bucks..that's really expensive

I coughed up the $20 for this case in black. I bought the phone just before traveling on business and did not want it naked. (I actually had just decided not to purchase another phone for a while as I had my Incredible rooted and on a stable ROM with a great kernel, etc. etc., but the LCD cracked. I suspect it was a Verizon OTA screen cracking exploit nobody knows about....)
I like how the case wraps around the Rezound. I also suprisingly like the gloss. We'll see how it holds up. I typically keep a case for a few months then decide I want something "else." Once a phone is rooted, I need to be able to pull the battery frequently while tinkering around with it, so a silicon case is a nice option, as opposed to a hard two-piece case that I'm constantly pulling apart. It feels like a "better" case than the cheaper silicon ones I can get at the stand at the mall right outside the Verizon store.
Picked up the red gloss case and so far so good I like that it doesn't add any bulk.

I tried it on in stores and it looked pretty good but honestly theres not much of a difference from the ones found on ebay
I have this same case in black and love it. I just need a holster that this case can fit into.

the standard clamshell holster that verizon sells has always worked on the silicone cases on all the phones I have had.. bionic, charge, tbolt and razr; yes i may have a problem
I have the black one aswell. I liked it ok for a cheap case... I didn't like that the camera wasn't really protected... But that's really it tbh. Love my commuter otterbox

I have the vzw one in red, got it with the phone... fits good, looks decent, not bulky. I like it.
Yep, I have the black high gloss case also. With the case on, the Rezound fits perfectly in my hand and the case adds a nice grip to avoid dropping

Grabbed the black one when I picked up the phone. Fairly nice but not worth 20 bucks imo. Once my Otterbox commuter comes in, it's going back and I'll pick up a car charger.
I picked this up from Verizon about a week ago and I love it it protects my phone and it provides a good grip and with my discount I only paid $15

Window Mount
Does anyone know if the phone fits into the verizon window mount while using this case?
I got sick of taking my OG Droid case off everytime I get in the car, so I left it off... of course that was the day I dropped it.

^^Yes sir... I actually went out and got it... had a verizonwirelss gift card plus my employee discount ...
Fits nice and has a good grip...plus still easy to slide out of a pocket. (and I don't have to remove it to put it in the charger.)
that's cool but... no pink one?
and do they have them for the extended battery to?...

After finding out about Brando screen protectors after reading a thread here on XDA, I decided to see what other accessories they had for the 7.7. And they had a couple cases in different colors that looked worth a try. Ive been wanting one that snapped on and only covered the edges and not any of the screen itself because sometimes they will cause a screen protector to peel, and I found this. It comes in 4 colors. I ordered the "ice" color which is basically clear because I wanted to still be able to see the silver back. And since it was only $10 I decided to pick up this one too, also in the ICE color. So anyway Ill write some short reviews about them when I get them. It takes 7-10 days from Hong Kong. Heres a couple pics also.
Just ordered 2, these look awesome! Thanks for posting, I'll post pics when I get them.

I got a similar one, with an X in the back. It works, but it increases the size a bit (not so much thickness though, but the length x height), without adding much value (like a stand or wallet pockets or whatever). And it's kind of slippery in your hands, but not so much in your pocket.
It does protect the tab more than the OEM book case, but the Book Case looks better, it's more portable, it's a stand and slips into your pocket easier, while not being slipery in your hands when folded. Protection is just against scratches though.
The worst thing about the case like this is the power button. It's kind of hard to press on/off and sometimes I turn off the tablet trying...very annoying.

Yea, I will most likely be using the snap on most of the time.
UPDATE: Ive received the cases and will write a short review with pics.
Ill start with the snap on case. First thing I noticed that there were 2 spots that had what I would call a stress mark. You know the whitish look that plastic gets when its been bent and is close to breaking? (see pics) This was right out of the package. And it had a scratch along the back as well. Very cheaply made. But it does fit, and fits pretty good. But compared to the TPU type it just doesnt look good, so that one will be shelved. No point in returning it. Comes in Blue, Pink, Black, and ice (clear) I dont recommend this case.
The "ice" colored clear TPU style "X" case is awesome. Its made very well and fits perfect. Since its clear the silver of the tab shows through and looks great. All the ports are cut out well, and it has a very nice grip feel to it. Which of course is a great thing to have on a nearly $600 tablet. My only complaint is one that happens with most of these style cases, and that is that it makes the buttons stiff, and less responsive. They work, but require a lot more force to register. Other than that if you want a case that protects, and still shows the awesome silver back of the 7.7, I do recommend this case, and I prefer the ice colored one. (clear) It does come in red also.
I had also ordered this sleeve . I knew there was a chance it might not fit, but based on the measurements I knew it would be close. Well it didnt fit. It was only $7.45 shipped so no biggie. Ill give it to my mother in law that has the first edition 7" galaxy tab.
I just checked their site (brando), and they have a new case choice that looks like it might be good. Its a snap on type, but is rubber backed rather than the hard plastic. Comes in Colors: Black, White, Blue, Pink, and Red. I might order one, but I learned from my last order to expect at least 16 days for shipping.
Anyway thats all and heres some pics.
Now that you have had the clear back cover for a few days, how is it holding up specially around the buttons and sim/SD slot? I ordered a similar one from an eBay seller in china and it has fallen apart those two areas. This was within 2 day of first use, I had not dropped it so was very upset about it. I did pay $4 for it so i guess I shouldn't complain.

my cheap case from amazon finally came yesterday, and im pretty happy with it
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008CQW7QO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
5 bucks, shipped and it fits really well
unfortunately i was impatient waiting for it to get here yesterday, and spent $20 bucks on one of those awful silicone cases at a vzw 3rd party, since NO STORE IN MY AREA HAD ANYTHING ELSE!!!!
all 3 vzw corps, 2 3rd parties, bb, sams club, and pc richard had nothing left by monday/tuesday
apparently my main vzw corp had a ton of stuff last weekend, but according to them they "sold a lot of this phone on friday/saturday, and people bought up all the accessories", and the other close vzw corp only had red and pink tpu cases
supposedly bb was getting stuff early next week, but now im happy with the cheap amazon one
might get an otterbox when they show up, but only if adb during boot is fixed first (probably permissions issue) cuz otterbox doesnt equal easy batt pull
I bought it. I've always liked TPU cases, and this one is slim and fits well.

I'm just the opposite. I prefer the cut out sections. I always cut those sections out on the old versions
i like the volume cut outs but the power is a pain but for me it isn't an issue, as I use wake on vol on every phone/ROM I use, and I also use a widget to put my phone to sleep, so unless I'm powering off the phone I don't touch the power button
I have the red one... It looks and feels great... And ordered 4 different color S style cases as well on amazon.. can't wait for those

I'm still looking for a case becuase I don't see that many cases. Not that many major companies release cases for this phone I might wait for a while, and I might get diztronic one if I don't see any more.
My only complaint with the TPU is that the power button is very hard to push, but I use a widget to turn the screen off and the volume buttons to turn on, so it works for me personally.
TBH though, I only use the case when out n about drinking or something.
90% it's off
the feel of this phone stock is very nice.
no overheting that I've experiened with the Rezound.
also this is quite thin, compared to Rezound.
batt life is decent as well
my friend got a tpu case from Amazon and complained about the power button being difficult to press. I suggested using thin strips of tape on the inside of the case under the power button to reduce the gap between button and case. She did that and now the button works perfectly.

Based on your glowing review, I bought this cheap one, too. It just arrived today, and in the few hours its been on the phone, I like it much better than my original snap-together clear plastic case. Using the power button through the case is taking a little getting used to. I will likely try the wake on volume mod ...when we get root...

I ordered the "Diztronic Matte Back Translucent Black Flexible TPU Case for HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE (Verizon) **For New 2012 4G LTE Model Only (ADR6410)** [Diztronic Retail Packaging]" case from Amazon and it fits very well! I previously had the black / clear S-type TPU case on my DINC 2 and it separated where the black and clear parts connect after a few months.
I also got the "GreatShield Ultra Anti-Glare (Matte) Clear Screen Protector Film for HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE (3 Pack)". I'm addicted to the matte finish screen protectors. Not only do they eliminate the glare but it makes swiping so much easier (especially here in humid Florida).

How transparent/clear and fingerprint/smear resistant is the GreatShield Ultra Anti-Glare (Matte) Clear Screen Protector? I have a "crystal clear" screen protector It is nice and transparent, but it is horrible with fingerprints.
Regarding the TPU case I bought, my only complaint is that the front sides don't come up high enough to protect the glass when setting the phone face down on a table. Otherwise it's great.

second this, as long as its not a bulky otterbox. TPU silicone and hard cases should work fine. They also supply little pieces of foam so if your phone is at an angle, you can straighten it out. You'll see what i mean if you get one.

For a cheaper dock the quality is surprisingly good, got mine with the media link back when they had the 2 for 20% off, all in all only paid about a hundred bucks, dock was practically free lol

Amazon has a good one called iOttie
http://www.amazon.com/iOttie-Windshield-INCREDIBLE-BlackBerry-Revolution/dp/B00687N0GK
holds any phone, so it came in handy for me. also they have excellent customer support. mine broke when my daughter knocked it off the counter with my phone in it and they sent me a replacement for free
I think the one that Sprint sells is the closest you'll get to OEM from HTC. Unfortunately, I've ONLY been able to find it in stores and on Sprint's website. Finding it on any other website or eBay is pretty much impossible to find a better price. I like keeping everything OEM, so I'll probably get it when I'm really going to need it.
the one sold by sprint is made from a company called ibolt. They make a generic car dock for the oneX that fits the LTE and the oneX.
http://www.amazon.com/iBolt-Vehicle...?ie=UTF8&qid=1347487055&sr=8-3&keywords=ibolt
that is the one that i'm using right now. works great and its the same price at sprint. i just bought it off of amazon because i had a $50 Amazon gift card so i basically got it for free.

This ARkon mount its the note, it'll fit the Evo with a Ballistic case:
http://www.arkon.com/slimgrip/slimgrip-dashboard-mount-sm578.html
They have window suction and other ones of you don't want the dash version. Best of all, they're mostly under $20.
I ordered an iBolt from Amazon and you can (optional) use it with or without case. All you have to do is remove a piece of plastic from the mount and it fits with case. Its a very sturdy and flexible mount and I recommended it. I think I paid around $25-30. There are cheaper ones out there but you get what you paid for...

I took a trip to the local Sprint store this morning and picked up their car dock and I must say, Im damn impressed at the quality! kind of whack that it doesnt include a charge cable but it is a nice piece for sure. I hightly recommend it :good:
I just got the iBolt version from thecellguru.com & love it so far. $27 after shipping (no tax for those in states that care). Cheapest I was able to find anywhere online (even eBay). They only have it under the OneX compatibility section (probably because that's what it says on the box), but I can attest that it works fine with the EvoLTE. Oh, and no I do not work for them...just dropping a tip to save everyone some $ on a decent accessory.

Sent from my LTEVO
I've been looking at the ibolt. Has anyone used it with an otterbox commuter case? The reviews and description say it can be used with a case, but otterbox has a flap covering the usb port so I don't know how it would work.
I wish they would make one like I had for the og evo. With the cone shaped base and the thin chrome post with ball on each end, and thin minimal plastic clip holding the phone. All so neat and trim. I hate the big boat shape tray on the sprint/ibolt one, especially since my phone has no case, that boat shape is way bigger than the phone and looks ugly. Also the big fat hold-down clip on the top. Ugh.. it all blocks so much more window view than necessary. And of course the blue charging light, yet another unnecessary light on my dash at night.
But it holds the phone securely, charges, and provides a good landscape gps and media player.
I'll have to dig up a pic of my old og evo setup to show what I mean. I think the dock was actually for the hero but it worked on the og evo with a tiny hack just trimming away a small bit of plastic. Looked a hundred times better than the sprint/ibolt. This was definitely one downgrade from upgrading from og evo to evo lte.

So I don't usually make threads but this case seriously is awesome. I also had one when I had my HTC inspire. I would say it gives about as much protection as an otterbox commuter. It also comes in multiple colors (I love the red color of this case) and comes with one screen protector for the i777 and one for the gt I9100. It costs 35 bucks and the only cons to this case is that I can't fit my 3rd party usb charger in because the head of it is too big. That, and it seems like the red part of the case likes to rub off, but that might just be my particular unit and doesn't necessarily mean that it will happen to all of them.
