What's up guys!
Long time reader and advice-taker, first time poster (as far as I remember ) so I figured I'd make myself useful and review my setup right now. Over the past year and a half my EVO 3D has seen its fair share of drops and scratches. I finally decided to invest in a case, so after having read many reviews I decided to buy the Seidio SURFACE case with kickstand, along with a Banggood privacy screenguard for kicks. After having had the case and screen protector for two weeks now, I'm extremely satisfied with not only the quality of the two, but the new aesthetic appeal to it. The matte of the case matches perfectly with the matte look of the screen protector, making it look like a COMPLETELY new phone. I immediately starting receiving compliments from my friends who would say things like "Whoa, what phone is that?" and "Did you get a new phone?" who had seen what my banged up phone looked like prior to the case. Along with this newfound aesthetic appeal is the functionality of the case; the stand is sturdy and provides multiple viewing angles (a feature i thought I'd never use but actually do) and of course, the case protects the phone. It has survived a drop or two knick-free. For a total of around $30 I'm extremely satisfied.

I finally decided to get the white carbon fiber ghost armor to put on my phone. Sorry for the crappy pics right now, will upload better ones when I get my hands on my camera.
What I paid: 37$ for the entire job, it was a definitely a little pricey but I think it was worth it... considering that was including installation... and that now my phone looks SICK. The carbon fiber job doesn't really offer that much protection against drops but it is scratch resistant and pretty durable. The kit will include ghost armor though which you can put underneath and the carbon fiber stuff on top.
If you guys want to just buy it and install it yourselves here is a coupon code for 20% off: Ga4life.
Here are a couple pictures:

EDIT: my bad needs to be moved to accessories section -.-
Great product. Got mine done at the mall, got a pretty awesome deal [free]. It looks awesome, but I would never try to put it on myself, and I put on screen protectors daily. It fits the phone perfect, keeps it protected, and it still works in my car dock. Mine's black, but your pics are busted, so I'll throw some in. A couple of them I was just playing with my new camera, so had to do the double color long exposure, and show it off, lol.
wth howd u get it done for free? nd idk if this one peels im thinking about the black one!
Read the sig, it'll make since. I don't think you'll have a problem with it peeling, mine is on there very well, and shows no signs of degrading in any way, and I've had it on for over a month.
I don't understand why the kiosk at the mall in CT says they don't make them for the gs II. They claim nothing will stick to the textured back yet the ghost armor website clearly sells them.
Wtf.

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???

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.

They usually say "not at this time" or a straight "no" or don't answer at all when asking if they are going to be producing for a new phone.
Looks promising.

While it's nice to see Element case say something about it, so far their offerings outside of iphone cases have been anemic and uninteresting. The one that was supposed to bring the sound to the front I read mixed comments on. But seriously by the time they get around to it many GN3 users will already have their cases and won't want to spend $80-100 on a plastic case because that is what they will offer.
I have the element case for the s3, (knockoff). The sound channel is great but it offers limited protection for the phone. One drop and the metal bezel will chip/indent if dropped on a concrete/rough surface. The kickstand is a flimsy piece of plastic on both the real and fake case and according to owners of the real case both suffer from very sharp edges on the bottom near the charging port which makes the phone very uncomfortable to handle.
Confirmed from both the fake and real case the case leaves indention's on the phone near the charging port because the fit was so tight (saw this on my phone). I would not pay that much money for something with so many flaws, maybe they will improve on the design if they make it for the note 3 but I would not risk it with such an expensive phone.
Any updates on this?
Element makes one of the best bumper cases around. If they make them for the note 3 I would seriously get one. I had them for my iPhone and loved it.
F em, blah boring overpriced cases, only the iphone ones are interesting not to mention they botch new releases and take forever.
What 3 months later and counting and still nothing. F'em is right their cases are overpriced and should go to the overprice iphone crowd.
Hi guys.

Hi, I had this, this after some time, this annoys you. Because it feels and it is bigger with the bumper. My bumper was a little thinner, but the same effect
Look for other
I use a similar version, with a cover on the back and this reduce the RF signals (BT, Wifi, Celullar, etc.). If I can recommend something, use another like the "love mei" to fully protect your phone.
I have one at the moment, bought it for 6 dollars . Actually it makes the phone bigger and less comfortable, also you wont be able to use the fingerprint scanner, because the power button will be about 6mm inside the bumper. It's edges are not soft. Buy a silicone backcover.
You should look into DevilCase. They make great bumpers which I've been using for years. Very high quality and doesn't affect cell service. They also make really cool skins but since they're not sold in the USA, the shipping is awfully expensive.
I used an aluminium bumper with a slide on back as a posed to screw together ones. I dropped my device a couple of times and thought it was fine, although the it turned out the frame bumper had warped causing the back slide in section to not sit correctly. The impact also caused the rear glass to smash in a corner which I didn't see until I removed it.
I wouldn't recommend one TBH.
Despite my previous opinion, I am using DevilCase since few months, and I can say only - The phone looks gorgeous!
Well it is slippery (like it is naked), but there is some protection (i dropped it around 10 times without any damage to the phone or the bumper).
Insignificant signal degradation (in my environment - home, office).
devilcase is the best
