Has anybody tried these out yet? Just saw them on eBay today.
OtterBox Knock Offs
Their feedback is pretty good, but they haven't been selling these particular cases for very long. So, I'm guessing nobody that bought one has reviewed it yet.
Whatcha think?
Been thinking about one of these as a backup. @ 20 bucks might just go for it.
I like the Defender so much because of the camera protection. This knock-off leaves the camera area exposed, offering them no protection...Guess it all depends on your wants/needs, but this case also just has a cheap look to me..specifically the button/hole covers

You can get a defender case for only 12 dollars more on amazon.
Just received mine today. I think I paid 36 all together with shipping.
As long as it not otterbox, then yes.
Otterbox wants you to setup a crime scene before you can return a defective unit.
They don't have any integrity about standing by their product.

Quite the opposite actually. 95% of people who call in don't have to do anything to get replacement, myself included. I called them, explained the issue, he asked for my email address and mailing address then told me i would receive it in about a week, didn't have to do ANY thing. Plus get to keep the old one for a backup, nice!! Bet customer service anywhere!!

I pretty much guarantee you will get better customer support from otterbox than you will this knock off company.
I got an otterbox defender for my OG evo as soon as they became available. 3x I had to have it replaced (for minor issues) and 3x they sent me replacements with little to no trouble. I had to take a picture of the damage the first time.
Btw the replacements were for 1 the kickstand snapped in half and the other 2 were related to the holster cracking. (I was very hard on the holster, always bumping it into walls/doors lol)

I went ahead and got one full price 49.99 right after i bought my Evo. Could have waited---- but whatever.
I think this would be a good cheap alternative mainly due to the exposed buttons. The defender works as advertised but i might want a lower profile, easier access, less tapedeck looking case.
Ive had one problem with the defender. watch were you sit. The belt clip has a weak point and it will break if you hit it in the right spot.
Edit: On second thought- there is no way to make the Evo 3d not look like a a Walkman
I woul probably like the knokoff more if all buttons/ ports were exposed.
MMMM, Nom Nom Nom
I ordered the Defender. Got a discount from Retailmenot.com and really like it. Ditched the crappy built in screen protector and grabbed a zagg also got the discount for that at retailmenot.com.
I am suppose to be getting my otterbox in the mail tomorrow from fedex. I love the camera protection it offers. And the best thing is I got it for free, haha through best buy accommodations.

So I finally got the holster in today and here's a short video I made for it.
Just showing the holster with the phone in it and the d3o case.
Hope it helps you guys decided if you want to order one too.

I ordered mine from BluMall.
Yes that is the exact case I have it has been great so far, also if you turn the phone facing the other way the audio jack is mostly uncovered. I think you would still need to cut it out just a little but not near as much.

I've actually found that with this holster if I push the phone up a little bit from the bottom I can use the headphone jack.
The phone would be in the holster WITH the cover closed and basically just not touching the bottom of the holster.
But I don't know if the only reason that works is because I have a bulky (d3o) case.
Other cases or just the bare phone might cause the phone to slide down and sit on the bottom anyway.
Also was just on T-mobiles site and I noticed a D3o pouch as well

Just checked it out after you mentioned it, looks like that holster has d3o technology built in.
However I don't think it would hold the phone with a case on it.
Looks pretty slim.
And definitely does not cost 4.57 with free shipping lol.

I don't like the case you got. I was thinking of buying this one.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320821986189
That style is the way I like. I don't like the flap covering up the whole phone.
Just received mine after ordering on ebay. I paid for the faster shipping and received it in only 4 days.
I've attached some pictures. Since I don't have the phone yet (obviously) i've been putting the case in my pocket and have been simulating using it (sad i know)
I love the size, and this case is awesome. I ended up picking this one because of the look and the kick stand. Definitely recommend so far.

I also have this case i used it on my n7000 and it fits perfect my only complaint would be its a little slick so hold on tight

No sir I don't like it I like the free one that comes with it.
Bad news friend we don't get a free case. That was only for certain areas don't see a free case with at&t or rogers. Unless you mean the one best buy is giving out?

Just wanted you to know is not really a case. It is another back which replaces the stock back and a flap that covers the screen. The edges of the GNote are still completely exposed.
Just wanted you to know what the flip case is.
Apparently the flip case will only last about a month due to some defects. People are complaining that it is falling apart. Good for free but don't spend you hard earned cash on it.

If it doesn't, you can just add some padded tape to the inside. that way, if the phone is thinner, it will fit snugly.
Let me know if this one is good

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bought the same one for 9.61
Anybody try the ZENUS Galaxy Note Capsule Stand Slide Series with an AT&T Note yet? I wanna make sure it works perfectly before I pull the trigger. thanks
Has anyone found a case that's durable like the one Seidio sells? Seidio won't have one out until later and I need something durable and something with a good grip, with the phone being so big and I have small hands, I'm afraid it'll slip. I bought the Zenus leather case for the time being.
UPDATE: I asked one of the eBay seller about the Zenus capsule and said it's more on the slippery side but is made with hard material.

Update for everyone. I have been using this case since the 17th and I love it. It fits perfectly with the AT&T version, even before I put the screen protector on it.
I have a black one and it fits really snug.
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 like the defenders shock absorbtion but i dont want a screen protector.. and i say this for one main reason.. ive never liked the way they look.. but also in the 2 years ive owned the evo and the year my wife has owned hers never once has the gorillas glass scratched.. and she abuses hers a lot more then mine.. so unless i can remove the screen protector on the defender ill prolly go commuter

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.

Hi guys,
To those of you that got the free blue gel case, have you tried using the phone with the thing on? I just tried to update my voicemail message and when I played it back, it sounded like I was driving through a tunnel. I took off the case and recorded a message and it sounded great.
Just an FYI if anyone is getting pissed over the sound quality of your phone. At least for my phone, the free Sprint case screws up the call quality big time.
I'm curious if anyone else has this issue with their free case. Try it out by changing your voicemail message.
I tried to return it to a Sprint store yesterday. They wouldn't take it. Did offer to exchange it, but the cases they had were are crappy. Going case-less for now. Will get a sub-$10 TPU in a couple weeks, perhaps, when the selection is better.
I got the gray one and I think I may just ebay it.. anyways didn't you get a Diztronic? Mine seems to work well with it on.. even though the hole isn't perfectly in the center..

I returned mine and got half off an otterbox defender. I had to call customer service first and have them notate the account, before the store would exchange it. Hope that helps man.

I bought the otter box defender also. After using a otter box with my OG EVO I will never be without one again.
Honestly I got the case and I love it. It's a nice minimal silicone case and looks really good on the phone. (mine was blue) It doesn't add any bulk at all and it's most certainly not cheaply made like most silicone cases. And also it was free. Stop complaining.

This isn't a complaint. I'm glad the case works for you but it doesn't for me. Call quality matters to me. If anyone was having call quality issues, it might not dawn on them to check out the case.
Also, if you read my other posts you would see I appreciated the gesture.
Finally, I hope you speak to people in person differently than you do here. Most strangers would tell you to shove it if you told them what to do.

Are you guys serious? The OP isnt complaining, hes just saying that the case makes his voice sound differently. Hes letting us know that if your friends tell you that you sound weird over the phone then it might just be the case and not your nice new evo. Its a heads up so people dont go blaming their phones over poor sound quality. I for one never thought a case could make you sound different so I would instantly blame the phone. Thanks to the OP, now I wont.
Yea, I don't know why everyone is so happy and like "thank you" when this case is garbage. I didn't even want to put it on. I was like "wtf" and like "aww...... come on" when I got mine.
Thanks but no thanks Sprint.
