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'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.
(Preferably snap on case)

Seidio currently has two, the Surface and the Active, and I'm certain Best Buy will have some sort of combo available when it releases next Friday as thats what they did when the original EVO came out.

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

The only thing I didn't like about those was mine interfered with my screen protector. Meaning it peeled up the edges when I went to put it on.

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.

No. Get the surface case by Seidio. It's the best combination of protection and thinness:

It all depends on which one you get. The surface is very nice for a day to day case which is what I have right now and it looks like the active is an inbetween. The convert combo is the most rugged of all of them. and the thickest.
Will
Hmmm...I said I'd never buy seidio again but the surface may be my best option at this point. Hopefully it fits better than the one I had for my galaxy s II.

I personally prefer the Active combo. I go under desks all day.. IT, so yeah.
I've been using the Seidio Surface case and holster with my original EVO and I *love* them. My ~2 year old phone still looks almost brand new.
Been waiting for these to become available, thanks for the heads up!

NP, Me as well, I am debaiting between a couple of them, since I see that there is a Convert Combo pack which includes the Surface Case & Holster / Convert Case & Holster. as well as a screen shield from them as well. I have this same thing now but don't use the convert much at all. I am not sure if I want to go with the Surface Kit or the Active Kit, thinking active just to be safe. and its got a nice metal kickstand.

Agreed. Mine still looks close to new as well. Now if someone can just find a coupon for this, would be bonus.
I think I paid 19$ for my evo 4g active. Just kills me to pay close to full price of $30, when you know it costs like 20 cents to produce.
I have the active on my 3D and love it. Had the surface on my 4G and liked how thin it was but it fit loosely and scratched the edges of the phone. If they made the active with the kickstand accessible I would have ordered it yesterday. I need a case with a holster because I am a mechanic and can't keep my phone in my pocket.

I just want a Seidio holster, no case this time around! I have over $300 in Otterbox(all 3), Seidio, etc. cases for my Evo 3D just sitting in a drawer never touched. All I ever use is the $25-30 Seidio belt holster that I purchased on sale from Amazon for $2.95 and free shipping. Was the same way with my Evo 4G. I always go case crazy an buy most of the big name cases out there. Not doing it again this time!! I may buy 1 nice case just to be prepared if I'm out doing something where I'll need the phone protected. Otherwise just a Seidio belt holster an I'm all set!

That's the route I took as well....I always buy a Seidio case...this time I just got the holster for the naked phone. Tired of having a great looking phone that I never see. Unfortunately the damned holster showed up on Friday and it's sitting on my desk taunting me with the images of the phone that I am not allowed to have.
Plus no matter how good the case is, they can't replace the feel of the naked phone...
anyone know of the lowest price for the seidio surface case? (or coupon codes used to get it lower)
shopandroid and htcpedia dont have it
seidio is offering 10% off via code: FB10
but you have to pay tax (at least in texas) and shipping
also, the PT/Platinum series at best buy is the exact same case, but its $35 (at least online).

I usually get mine through Amazon, but I don"t think it will be available there for a while. I used show2012 for 15 percent off yesterday. Still seems to work. My sister just cracked the screen on her nexus. So its made me paranoid and I don't want to be without a case.
Ended up going with the active case this time. I had the rugged extended on my Evo 4g. Trying for something a little thinner this time. I'm too hard on my phone for just the surface case. Even after almost 2 years my Evo still looks brand new. Wife has the active and it feels pretty nice.
I have had a seidio case on my last 5 phones going back to the Mogul. I have cracked a few seidio cases, but there always was a pretty good drop associated with it. I look at it this way, If my phone cartwheels down a drive way and I trash the case, it did its job. Ill buy a new case.

i had the active (actually two different ones, I had to get a replacement shipped to me) on my evo for almost all of the last 2 years. i took it off a month or so ago because i got an extended battery. looks almost brand new.
Im going with surface because i think i can handle a little less protection based on my habbits (never cracked/broken any phone in 8 years as cell phone owner)
I have an active on my 3D and love it. Just wish the one for the LTE allowed access to the oe kickstand. I had a surface for my OG, but the edges of the phone got scratched from the plastic on plastic contact.

price seems pretty steep for a silicone case. TPU cases usually go for the same amount or cheaper and they come off just as easy but offer more security than silicone cases.
if you jumped on the deal for the extra chargers for work, i would reconsider for something more reliable. i, and many others, would vouche for this car charger bc it charges nearly as fast as a wall charger and has a long track record, though i got it for $2 at the time:

all in all, this is just my opinion. im sure it will hold you by since its just for work

Or maybe ill just wait to see what comes out after the release date if im not happy with the silicone one.
A friend of mine has that motorola charger and I agree, it does work well.
If you end up being happy with it, then you got a great deal. If you notice that the silicon stretches over time, consider TPU, which is equally cheap. I understand exactly what you mean about throwing a lot of money away...
Just to update: I got the phone today and ive had the case for a couple days now. The case fits perfectly. Everything lines up to where it should be.

I prefer the thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) cases, they add the least amount of bulk and provide adequate protection. I have one on my 3D and with a screen protector it has survived a year with a few light drops and is still in mint condition.
I ordered the same one on ebay as listed above (Smoke) and got it today, good seller fast shipping
Plus they are only around $5-$10 delivered! Compared to my wife's $40 otterbox that has been warrantied 4 times in less than 11 months!

I have the black one and I hate it. I only bought it cause it was the only one available at the time. The soft rubber feeling sucks, Its comes lose when I pull it out of my pocket. I'm using it for now, while I wait for a TPU case to come in the mail. TPU is 100 times better then silicone. This is the case I'm waiting on http://www.ebay.com/itm/26103187214...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1780wt_1154

The two links I just posted are for tpu cases. My original link was for silicone. I like the silicone one so far. No problems with it slipping off when taking it out of my pocket.
I saw the one in your link but I decided against it because I don't like the fact that the camera button and volume buttons are exposed. I like having them covered by the silicone/tpu.
Update: Got the 2 TPU cases in the mail. I hate them. The fit it way too tight. Its really a struggle just to get them on and off. They also ruined my screen protector because it caught the corner of it while putting the case on.
I will say however that once the case is on it has a very nice feel to it and it adds nearly zero bulk to the phone. Its a very tight fit and all of the buttons work perfectly with no problems. Being that im mainly going to be taking these on and off very frequently its not as convenient as just slipping the silicone case on.
Used the VZW shell/kickstand/holster case for my previous two phones (G2 / Note 3) and loved it.
Was waiting...hoping VZW would put one out for the N6 once they started to carry it, and it looks like they have:

Anybody seen one or tried it to verify it actually fits? I for sure want one if it fits.
It fits.
Haven't ordered my Nexus 6 yet, but I'm looking at this one on Amazon for when I do. Looks similar and cheap enough to buy one and try it out.

It will work just fine. But why would you spend $30 on such a cheap case? If you're going to get a cheap case with a kickstand, get it from Amazon. This one looks really solid and comes only in black with a lifetime warranty and is only $8! This other one also comes with a lifetime warranty but comes in 4 different colors and it's $12! If it says that it's for the Nexus 6, it'll work on any Nexus 6, no matter where you buy it. :good:

I think you quoted the wrong person. I'm saying I'm going to try the $8 one first, and I saw the $12 one that you linked as well, and I'd try that one second. All before shelling out $30 from Verizon.

I can tell you from past experience that those cases look just like the shell combo Verizon offers but the quality isn't the same. I had both the Verizon brand and ones from Amazon on my m8 and note 3 the Verizon shell is always better. The ones from Amazon never provide a decent lip(lay on table clearance for screen), and the holster for the Amazon ones always break super easy unlike the one from Verizon. I hate overpaying for cases at carrier stores but in this case (pun intended lol) it is a difference, I've noticed on two of my past phones.
Thanks for the comments and the links!
I get a very good discount on accessories and stuff at Verizon through a "deal" with my employer so it's just a couple dollars more expensive than the Amazon cases.
I have this case and it offers absolutely no protection. I shattered my screen the 1st time it fell (2days) I just ordered a trident aegis for the new one when it gets here.

Sorry to hear - I had the similar Verizon case for both my Droid Incredible and Galaxy S III, but went with more protection for the latter, then decided to go with a dual-layer case/holster combo for the Nexus 6 due to its bulk.
IMHO, less is not more when it comes to Nexus 6 protection.

Actually I was hoping that since Verizon now has the Nexus, Otterbox would build a Defender for us..hell Verizon f#cked up the Xperia Z3 into the Z3v and Otterbox built a Defender for it(even though its plain with no design whatsoever). Now that Verizon has the 6 you'd think they would have enough of a demand for the Defender...I have the Unicorn Beetle case and I miss the full silicone skin that the OB has...oh well, rant over.

if you like the otterbox, check out ballistic tough maxx. use the code Terry30 for free shipping and 30%/$15 discount. ordered the tough jacket maxx a little while ago was $49.99 cost $34.99 shipped with the code. the case is great, had it fall out of my jeep with 6 inches of lift onto the pavement and survived without a single scratch. far better than the otterbox i had on my last phone
Ordered this CellJoy case in "red": http://www.amazon.com/CellJoy-X-Hatch-Motorola-Holster-Kickstand-/dp/B00SXF5O3W/
But when it arrived it was not even close to the vibrant red color as in the photo on Amazon. It was a dark maroon color, same as Texas A&M colors. Not bad if you are an Aggie fan, but not good if you are LSU.
My main issue is with the kickstand. The Kickstand is offset too far to the side for the large N6 so that it is very unstable when propped up in landscape. The kickstand on the CellJoy was also cumbersome to deploy and not as smooth as when I had the Verizon variant on my previous phone.
My Verizon version case/holster is tough to remove from the holster. Any tips to getting it out easier? Does it loosen a bit over time?
