Well right now I am using a generic neoprene sleeve until something comes around I like... But I figured we could discuss cases here!
Expansys seems to have a decent selection of OEM cases (although they all look to be not available until 6/1)
www.expansys-usa.com/s.aspx?search=htc flyer
So have y'all spotted something you like?

Edit: A bit more organized case thread has been started here! In order to keep things simplified I recommend posting directly to that thread!
I bought one off Mobile Fun - the clear one that protects the whole device - bottom and sides. It is more of a glove that a case. It adds some thickness to the flyer so that you have to force it into the white case provided with the device from htc.
I will be looking to buy one that can stay on while working on the flyer. Just like you have observed, the better cases are not yet available.
I ordered this one from Best Buy for Business...

That one looks nice, I am going to have to wait and see what we get here in store!

Looks like the official HTC case the P S600 has room for the stylus, even though there are no pictures to show this. I have ordered one from Expansys.

I just got my flyer yesterday from bestbuy and it did not come with the white case. Was the flyer supposed to come with that? I wonder if bestbuy could do anything for me?
Anyone know if the journal type one from expansys has a cut out for the camera?

No pen, no case... from Best Buy package. Not sure I would like the white sleeve, though.
White case a bit cheap looking, would have preferred black. But does have loop for stylus.
Looks like we in Europe pay more but get case and stylus.

Here in Europe you get the Flyer with the bag and stylus included. I didn't assume it to be different elsewhere. I have to admit, the bag is far from being beautiful, though it has a separate slot for the pen on the outside. I had seen some yet unavailable but solid seeming cases from Expansys, but I am eager to learn there are some really cool cases out there. Keep them coming!

looks real nice
Except it is not good for protection from dust. Wish it had a zipper.
Nice
That Navitech case looks nice, I just found this, it is a silicone skin that would be nice for keeping the back safe! Although it wouldn't do a whole lot for a drop I'd imagine, and with a tablet a nice folio/wallet style is what I would want!
Oh yeah and they have a couple of TPU cases on that site!

That's the one I got - the clear type. Its okay, except it cannot go into the htc official case - the white one, unless you force it in. Getting it out is an even harder job.
I actually picked up a case meant for the Galaxy Tab and it fits quite well.
The case was at a Verizon store - I happened to be there for another reason and asked about the Tab cases.
It is a little snug, but it should stretch out some.
I've got an account with VZW, so they gave me a discount - total cost was about $20, retail is $24.99
I'm too newly registered to post a URL, so go to Verizon's website and search for "46466" - Leather Sleeve for Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The m-edge case for the noon---the one with the internal pen holder--fits Flyer perfectly and doubles as stand in landscape. I will use this one for a while.

Sorry, which one is it?
If you happen to pick up a case for the Flyer, please post a few pictures. Store images never give a good picture of hwo it will actually work.

Thanks! This looks like a keeper. I like the low profile sleeve... just needs a pen loop.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who remembers HTC/Sprint mentioning that case with kickstand for the EVO 3D. I just put the phone on order and been looking for that one case all over online. Is it supposed to be an OEM case sold by Sprint only or something? Anyone has any clue?
Case should be available same day you go pick up the phone... Sprint and radio shack will have the case probably best buy as well

Thanks, though I ordered the phone from Amazon Wireless. I'm not getting it on contract, so I'm paying full price for it, which Sprint is having for $549, while Amazon for $469. Kind of a no brainer.
I tried eBay and the likes, no luck. Then I go for google, and it seems HTCPedia has them listed but out of stick or backordered. So basically no luck so far. Hopefully you're right and they have it at the Sprint retailer when I go there as soon as I get the phone.
When i ordered my E3D through sprint this morning one of the accessories available was something called an 'easel case' or something along those lines. It looked like the official ones shown before but the picture was only from the front so I couldn't tell for sure. It also said it had 3 levels of tilt or something like that which I was unfamiliar with from the one we're looking for. It was listed as $45 so I decided against it in case it's not the right one. I'll probably check the store on Friday.
edit:
went back into the premier store and found evo3D accessories. good thing I didn't order it!

it looked very similar from the front in the very small picture they have at the end of checkout, but i though easel case sounded wrong. Guess we're back to square one.
It says it has a stylus holder lol

cool, but i think that every evo case should cover the camera opening and just have cutouts for that lenses and flash/speaker.
Ill hold out for someone to make a hybrid poly/tpu case that covers the camera and has the kickstand. till then ill just use my otterbox defender for day to day and my tpu case from tpucases.com for light duty when I cant have it on my belt (formal dinners and such)
i dont see what the big deal is with the camera. i have had my evo from launch day and it has been naked about 95% of the time (had a seidio case for a bit) and my camera lens is perfectly fine and i am far from careful. dropped may times, always in my pocket, fell down the stairs etc etc.
I was just at my local best buy and they said they do not carry any accessories with htc branding.

i posted in another thread a while ago all the accessries best buy was going to carry. platinum branded seidio cases, a car kit extended battery also by seidio and 2 soft gel cases.
I had already seen the HTCPedia one. Too bad just about every case I find is "out of stock". Hopefully we get a lot more to choose from by week's end...

It appears to me, comparing this picture to the Evo 3D in my hands, that the kickstand is on the wrong side for me....would not allow charging? HTC one appears to allow charging by reversing the phone. BTW, I confirm...3D works either way in landscape mode (with micro usb up or down).
Edit: I am assuming that the rounded end is the side that extracts and rests on the table/desk
I am hoping there are some people here who know about what brands/sites are good ones or trustworthy.
Ok, picking up my Evo 3D on Friday..... and surprise surprise, the phone isn't even out yet, yet there are a million different places with brands nobody has ever heard of with supposed cases for this phone, some of them even having dimensions smaller than the phone itself despite being listed as for the 3D.... (Yes I know, no need to tell me many manufacturers will take existing stock and claim it works for the new device just to sell it).
So the thing is, I have no idea what cases might be designed specifically for the HTC Evo 3D, or even any respectable sites to buy such cases from.
But I am also sorta over-complicating the issue by not being sure if I should first over a back cover for the phone or not. See, I am not a fan of the way the camerapod sticks out, I was wondering if there were any GOOD cases that add enough bulk to essentially make the cameras level with the rest of the phone, even if this will add thickness.
Something like this, but I don't know if this really is an official HTC product or not, and if there aren't better ones (or if that is a trustworthy site):
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28040
And this brings me to my main concern. The main case I want to get is a belt-clip holster, not just a simple little clip that attaches the phone to your belt but basically a whole pouch to hold it, something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Horizontal-Leather-Magnetic-Closing/dp/B0051IGCAI
But on top of the problem I already mentioned of there being a million cases just simply calling themselves a HTC Evo 3D case... there is also the issue of how it will fit. Normally, I don't care if a case is a little too big for a phone since it will hold it anyway, but all of my previous phones didn't have sensitive parts like the camera sticking out so much before, if I were to get a case, id want one designed to hold the pushed-out camera in place too.... but that would only work if I decide not to get a case that ads bulk for the purpose of keeping the cameras flush with the back of the phone.... and if I do decide to go with a back-cover to add bulk, will those pouch-cases then even still hold the phone or will it then be too thick?
Sigh... I'm over-complicating things aren't I? So anyway, any ideas? Its a shame those back-covers that increase the size of the phone can't make use of that size, such as storing a slightly higher capacity battery or something.
That first one's badass. I wonder how much coverage you get on the front. I ordered two slide together ones (like the innocase surface, but a clone), and one super-silicone one. I like buying a bunch of different colored cases to shake things up every now and then.

This is the silicone one. Cheap and highly rated for other phones.

This is the snap together (innocase surface-esque) one. Might be sold out now.
where is the case with the kickstand?
I went yesterday to a sprint store and got me a otterbox commuter case. I love it. They had about 4 different kinds but none with a kickstand. They also had the car dock as well.
TPU case for me. Ordered a few weeks ago from ebay, $4 shipped.
picked up a chase from BB this morning belt clip
case 20
screen protector was free
Are there images of any of these cases?

I got the case that Best Buy sells with a kick stand. It's 2-piece, kickstand, soft-touch, protects well. Very streamline. It costs too much ($40.00) but I had some reward points and ended up getting it for free. Love it!
Hmph, just terrific. To complicate matters, that hardshell case I posted isn't even available until July 13 apparently.... and nobody is showing that it looks like from the front...
I guess I should just at the minimum get a belt-clip pouch for now. Does anyone know of any good horizontal ones that were specifically designed for the Evo 3D instead of just general cases that roughly fit a phone of that shape?
Still don't have a case for my rezound but I really want to protect it, I found this browsing thru amazon tonight and wanted to know if anyone has this case and if they do, can you snap some shots and post em, the pictures on amazon don't give it justice...It says its OEM so if HTC makes it than it has to be a sweet tight fitting case!
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Rubberized-Shell-Rezound-ADR6425/dp/B0069615GW
For what its worth, I bought a red and black OEM HTC case and its cheap and flimsy. I regret buying it mostly because the color in the picture doesn't match the case. Its a cheap looking red instead of the red that matches the camera bezel and speaker grille.
Does it feel similar to the original back cover of the phone?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Yeah it has the textured effect to it
I ordered the black one im going to try it out. not a case guy at all but I do like the textured back...I'll report back with my impressions
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
i have one and its OK. i do like the feel of it but it seems to me like it doesnt really offer any protection. im thinking of getting a seidio active case to replace it.
Does anyone know any good armband for this phone? Looking to run with it.
I experimented with a few things and ended up going with a running belt with a pouch around the waist, used a whole punch for a hole for the headphones and called it a day. Always had issues with the arm bands causing chafing.

I've had good luck with TuneBelt. (Sorry I don't have enough post to show the URL but just add a www and a .com)
The AB83 fits the Amaze perfectly when it's not in a case, but I just order the AB85 to use without removing my Ballastic cover.
Hope that helps,
