Currently have xperia x10(hence the forum =), but my case is bothering me greatly. I have a stupid silicon one i bought online, it offers great protection, but makes the phone unattractive and comes off wayyyy to easily. Anybody have any suggestions on a new one? I'm thinking of the otterbox or the incipio one. I'm looking for an attractive case that has somewhat decent protection. Any suggestions?
I have a smoke clear case made of TPU that I got on eBay for just a few dollars (U.S.D.). It's not bulky like the hard plastic or rubberized plastic cases are and it's not sticky like the silicone cases can be. The case itself is bendable and 'rubbery,' but smooth. I think it offers great protection for the price. I've been using it since last year with no problems.
I got mine from an eBay seller named 'dcmugen88.' There are other cases for the X10 that are made of TPU, but the smoke clear one he sells has no designs on it and I like that.
He's selling one now for $3.49 (U.S.D.) and free shipping:

Oh...my girlfriend has an HTC EVO 4G with a TPU case too. She recently dropped the phone into water accidentally, and the TPU case kept almost all the water out of the protected areas. Her phone still works perfectly.
I did not like the silicone case, I wonder anyone took his leather case?
I am looking to get the otterbox commuter case but they want $50+ for shipping also... which is too much IMO.... if anybody knows of any sites please let me know....

i use krusell leather case for the x10 and i would recommend it greatly ... the clip system is just great ...especially if you use your x10 as navigation device in your car or for sports on your arm/bike ...
it offers great protection too for normalday use ..

Hi
I purchased a Capdase Alumor Metal Case from mobilefun.co.uk, its a really good fit and feels sturdy, I am very happy with it.
I got one of the silicone cases of of amazon and it is muck, terrible fit.
there arent good cases for x10 out there....
I have used many cases. I am still searching for "thee" case.
So far I have used the silicon, and gel/cases and they are bleh.
I did try a leather case, the Melkco Jacka type case.
http://www.melkco.com/scripts/main/viewitem-SESE10LCJT1BKIT-SE10.html
I really like this case, BUT, and this is a bit BUT, it's poor design.l The phone fits/snaps into place perfectly, however, its a "from the bottom" flip case. The cover, when you flip it over, at the bottom presses the home button. This turns your phone screen on. At this point the cover is now pressing on the home button the entire time the cover is closed. The screen does time out in 5 seconds, however, while in your pocket, it constantly bumps and activate the screen with he slightest touch. Draining battery.
I am about to order this case. So far I have been told it's probably the best case there is for an x10. It's an Incipio case. http://www.myincipio.com/Sony-Erics...on-Xperia-X10-EDGE-Hard-Shell-Slider-Case.asp
What I really want is a Seidio case. Too bad they don't make them for the x10. I have one for my atrix and it;s the best case I have ever had.

I just recently got my 3vo and i need a case for it, never been a big fan of the otterboxes (just seem too bulky). I need a case that looks good and gives some protection.. i have a 2 year old that loves to play with my phone.. But im not sure what to get.. I dont work in construction or take my phone on any extreme sports, but i do forget my phone on my lap in the car all the time and go to get out and boom it hits the ground.. so i do need some protection..
So far this is the one im likeing

If you have a Best Buy near you, you can go there an try on some cases. They carry the one you posted too.
I had that case for my Evo 4G and I liked it a lot. Very nice case. The ones at Best Buy are named Pt, but they are made ny Seidio for Best Buy. Same exact case, just a different name stamped on it.

The casemate tough case is pretty nice. It's not super big like the defender but its not slim either. But it looks nice, fits great and protects well. I got mine off ebay for about 22 bucks new. Well worth it. I also have the seidio active but prefer the tough case and haven't taken it off for the last 2 weeks or so except to clean it.

I'm still waiting for the Ballistic Case for the Evo 3D to make its appearance on their website; waiting on the HC version.
The CaseMate's look pretty good as well. I've seen good reviews for the Tough Case that they make.
However, SLM is correct. Go try out the Platinum cases at Best Buy before you take the plunge with the Seidio case. It costs $34.99 at Best Buy for the same Seidio one you're interested in.
I'll tell you from experience that I have the Platinum case (a.k.a. a rebranded version of the Seido Active case), and it's pretty sweet! Rumor has it that Best Buy will also be getting the Seidio 1900 mAh batteries as well, but they'll too be rebranded as Platinum. The case I got is excellent and slimmer than the Otterbox cases. It comes in two pieces. You have a silicone sleeve with a felt-like interior that wraps around the phone, and then you have a strong plastic skeleton that wraps around the sleeve. Although the case is great, there are a few things that I don't like about it. For one, if you keep your phone in your pocket like me, you'll start to notice pocket lint collect around the edges of the case. Also, it's sometimes hard to press buttons around the edges of the phone. For example, I use Swype, and when I have to manually type in a word instead of swiping, it can be difficult pressing letters such as P or A. I'll accidentally hit the O or S keys. But it does offer damn good protection. I've gotten so accustomed to the case that it's just weird to hold the phone without it. The case also protects the dual cameras in the back. I have no clue why HTC decided to have the cameras stick out, but this case offers protection for them. As far as my pocket lint issue goes, I think I might invest in a holster for the phone. I'm not sure if Best Buy sells the Platinum branded holster that is compatible with the Active case, but I'll look sometime this week and let you know. I use my phone as my primary music player, whether it's mp3s stored on the phone, FM radio, or Internet radio, and I think that having it on my hip instead of my pocket will be a little bit more convenient for me.
As far as cases go, I've only seen the Platinum case with the black skeleton being sold at Best Buy. Seido sells their Active case with different colored skeletons, but the sleeve still remains black. I'm kinda disappointed Best Buy didn't sell the burgundy skeleton. I think it would've looked nice on this phone (I'm a fan of dark red colors.). If you want something more rugged, Seido sells on their website the Surface case (a hard two piece plastic shell available with or without a kickstand) and the Convert case. If you plan on drunkenly abusing your phone or chunking your phone at the wall after a pissed off conversation, I recommend the Convert case. It's like a combination of the Active and Surface cases. The inner layer is the Surface case, and then it's wrapped with a silicone sleeve and skeleton like the Active case. It also has a detachable cover for the rear cameras. To top it all off, the Convert case comes with a precision-cut screen guard. I don't really need all that thickness and protection, but I would put money down that the Convert case holds up to its name. If you plan on getting an extended battery though, make sure you get an extended case since the regular cases won't fit with the extended battery door.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Good luck shopping for the right case!
I bought a silicon case with the wave. Protects camera, wich had to be protected since it sticks out. Also protects the other buttons and seems to fit well...
Its only 1,50 dollar so thats not a bad deal.
The TPU case is really awesome. It's on ebay and really cheap! Just search ebay for "evo 3d tpu case"
Only one downside, almost every 3vo owner has it
Red Body Glove case
I have the Body Glove case in red, and I like it a lot. It is a nice looking case.
I have no issues with mine unlike some others, but check out the pictures here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141005
The available colors are Red, Blue, Gray, Silver, and maybe White too.
Thank for the info guys im going to head to beat buy today and check it out..

Sounds good, let us know what you decide. Bhambalek said they only have the black skeleton shell at his Best Buy. My local Best Buy only had them in white. Maybe yours will have both so you'll have options. Good luck!

Just unpacked and put on my Seidio Active with holster, got the saphire blue from Versio Mobile on Amazon, 34.49 shipped.
Very nice case, fits very snug, like the inner skin and outer skeleton, holster is very solid. Only complaint, that the camera glass is not protected; probably order a carbon skin so I can throw some protection on that glass. Had a TPU on her since day one and glad I upgraded to this one.

I also like and recommend the TPU Skin Cover Phone Case for HTC Evo 3D http://www.amazon.com/TPU-Cases-Flexible-Sprint-Retail-Packaging/dp/B0053NWDO0
I have the Sedio Surface case and am happy with it. Decent protection and it has a kickstand also.
I posted a review on sprintusers, but dont know the policy here about linking to other forums.
i picked up the PT Cruiser case yesterday, i was able to get the black and white one that i liked.. Now i first off the bat i really like the look and feel of the case, but i dont like how the phone fits in the rubber sleeve, its not a real snug fit. So i can see pocket lint and other things easily able to get inbetween the phone and the rubber side, but other then that i like it so far.. Its still a lil early to make a final decision on the case..
But again thanks for everyones responces, i have to say this site really does rock!!
one word: otterbox defender. Ok so that was 2 words.
I have four requirements:
(1) Decent protection all around except for screen.
(2) Protection for the camera.
(3) Must lie flat and not wobble when typing w/phone on table.
(4) Must not make the phone significantly fatter (otterbox is OUT).
Anyone have any suggestions? I actually like the gel case from Sprint but it doesn't protect the camera.
Mike
i like seidio case the best
i've tried all sorts of cases and I keep coming back to my casemate tough case, can't go wrong with that one. It's not that bulky and offers just the right amount of protection without having your phone inside a vault like the defender.
Seidio Active or Platinum Cruiser. I had the Seidio on my Evo 4G for a year. Get the holster from Seidio to prevent the lint issue and clip it inside of your pocket. Something that nobody mentioned is that the rubber bezel allows you to set the phone face down without the screen contacting. That also makes it slip resistant and prevents an unattended ringing phone from vibrating off of the desk. Not too much bulk either.

Has anyone tried this case? What are your opinions on it. The only thing I feel is lacking is a kickstand to angle your tablet towards you, like the journal/portfolio type cases do.anyone haves solution for this? Or know of a case similar to the aegis that will do what I'm describing?
http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/09/review-trident-aegis-case-for-the-htc-evo-view-4g.html
I've. Read that review. Its one thing to read a review written after one day's use and another to hear the opinion of someone who's been using it for a while.
But I'm still looking for a similar kind of case with a kick stand.
I have one and I really like it. I love the detachable stylus holder. I can remove it when I want to game or otherwise use the tablet in landscape mode. It does offer good protection.
How much bulk does it add? Does it collect a lot of dust?
I ordered one and I should be getting it today or tomorrow. I'll update this thread with a quick opinion soon.

I posted a long reply with a link to a picture I took of the case and when I posted, told me I can't post links yet and nuked my whole reply..
(Ok, had some food and time to retype my post)
I've been using one for about a month now, I tried a few of the protective "hard use" cases out there hunting for the most protection I could find for my View but had no luck till I found the Aegis.
Overall its been great, I'm ultimately waiting for the Defender from Otterbox to come out as I need the most protection I can get for my device but this will do nicely till then for the most part.
They did a good job of of making the case fit the Evo View tightly, making for a pretty svelte case for the amount of protection it gives.
One small thing about the fit, the bottom lip of the silicon part catches on things sometimes and has developed a tiny bit of sag because of it but it's nothing major. I can't post links yet but if you look at the pic I posted at umf dot net/View/View_Aegis.jpg you can see the slight sag in the rubber part along the bottom edge of the screen (hope the pictures not too blurry)
As far as smudges, its held up pretty well on the rubber parts, some smudging but most of it "rubs" out with my finger if I really wanted to clean it. The hard plastic parts of course look pretty much new but then again I put the device
inside a small Maxpedition pouch before throwing into my pack so I don't exactly "abuse" the case.
So all in all, while its not Defender or Ballistic HC level of protection, for the minimal bulk it adds it's still a very sturdy case and works great for "around town" I still plan to purchase a Defender case for "in the field" type activities (hopefully Pelican or Otterbox will come up with a water/crush proof case to fit 7" tablets into for more "extreme" activities) but I am very satisfied with the Aegis as well and will continue to use it whenever I don't need that ultra level of protection (or bulk) that the Defender will provide.
Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot! I acutally ordered mine a few days ago, and I expect it to come tomorrow. I'm replacing this leather folio case for the Aegis. One thing I will really miss is the flap that covers the screen as well as the ability to have the tablet angled up like a stand. Its very convenient when I'm reading at a desk or watching a movie.
Yea I guess that's the main reason I still kinda baby the View while in the Aegis case, the screen feels vulnerable. A hard plastic cover that snapped on the front that also somehow snapped on the back and provided a kickstand would pretty much cover all the bases.
I just ordered one, should be here tomorrow. Got tired of waiting for Otterbox to get their **** together. Would love to see Ballistic make a case for it, but they probably wouldn't see a return on the investment of case design and manufacture for this tablet.
Got it!! It's a little fiddley around the volume and power buttons, but once you get that worked out, it's not a bad case!
yea I posted on both Otter and Ballistics Fb pages and at first both said no, was happy to see Otter decide to make a defender but yea, a Ballistic HC style case is what I would really like so I can just toss it in my pack without a second thought.
I have a Trident case and it is OK...not as heavy duty as a Kraken case or even a Cyclops but my 5 year old stood on it and has tossed it around a bit on the carpet and it has been fine. Was I upset? Yes! The case is more for protecting against scratches and light bumps....not for a little rockstar in the making!
I own the aegis case and it's nice. Keeps my device safe and i paid $25 for it from Amazon. Looking forward to a defender series but in no hurry now

I was hoping for a Cyclops series Trident case but since Aegis is all they offer I grabbed it from amazon for $25 and I'm pretty happy with it.
It was a bit of a pain to get the hard plastic shell over the silicone case (I entered hboot several times) but since I've had it on, I really like it. I just wish they didn't leave that bit of an exposed area if you don't use the stylus mount.
I was between the army green, red or cyan blue, and went with the cyan blue. I like the contrast, and it looks great.
Good
thanks but plz learn me
hi
I bought this nice phone, but it looks kind fragile so I wanna buy a case.
but because I'm from czech republic and there are no shops where I can try these cases [how they fit and how I feel them in my hand]. I really need your help, which one to pick. I'll buy the case from ebay.
I watched some videos and both cases look fantastic. But I can't judge how nice and tight silicon fits. Which case is smaller. [better for me] and which has batter grip
btw I hate touching my camera on evo [big,cold, sharp edges - really wanna get rid of this!!!]
seidio has the camera "in hole"
and Tough has silicon over it
I love to carry my phone on belt, is there some usable holster for Tough case ?
Go for case mate its tight from what I have seen.
and case mate looks like it also has a better grip.. but only thing which stopped me to buy it is that I don't know how can I attach it to my belt? Is there any compatibile holster or someting similar to use ?

Seidio is alright overpriced and tends to break . They have holsters for there cases. That always is a pain for me to find a good case and holster. I went and bought a trident kraken case and I'm more then happy with it comes with a holster . Get them on eBay cheaper then from trident site.
The case is light and solid. Anyways hope you find something a lot of cases are good.
Most big companies have holsters for the cases they make.
I saw some videos with kraken and it's superb case with best features,like kickstand and belt holster, which is the most I can imagine from a good case. But its really huge, expensive case.. class of otterbox defender rather than midsized case like what I want.. but great case,no doubt.
I really can't make decision which case to buy
Is there any midsized case (can be even just silicone if fits tight) which is great in other written aspects and has belt holster option?? Maybe I overlooked something.

Look at the kraken thread I have pics of my case and there is one with a pic of the defender case next to it. Kraken isn't as big as folks think its smaller thinner then otterbox defender . To me its slim prefer it over the defender and seidio also over the others I have used.
EBay u can snag a kraken for 25 bucks on there free ship too.
I don't know of anything else that is worth having to keep your phone protected to the max with anything slimmer that has a good holster .
I have the Case-Mate Tough Case. Love it. Very tight fit. Been dropped a couple times and it is good to go. I even put an Invisible Shield screen cover on it. Fits very well with case. Best combo yet! Even fits perfect in my Seido desk cradle and iGrip car mount kit.
i do construction and just got the note 8 . looking for the best heavy duty/rugged case
i wanted the otterbox but read really bad things about it so i dont think ill get that
i . was looking at the spiegen tough armor its pretty cheap looks good and seems good
any suggestions?
So Here is my 2 cents.... The Tough Armor is a great choice BUT... only works well with a small number of CASE FRIENDLY screen protectors.... I am currently rocking the SAMSUNG BRANDED RUGGED CASE and I LOVE IT! Tough Armor will probably provide a little better DROP PROTECTION ( I'm guessing because of the 2 layered protection) but the Samsung seems tough enough and works with a FULL SCREEN PROTECTION FILM PROTECTOR, and LOOKS GREAT TO ME.
Ghostek Nautical... hands down thee best. I've dropped this thing from atleast 15 feet up and not even a scratch on the bumper! Also waterproof to 20 foot down.
I have the Urban Armor Gear Monarch, I like this over the Ghostek, a little more $$ but definitely worth it. I have a case friendly screen protector film on it too.
Second on the Urban Armor Gear it's a great case from my experience from them. I however am rocking a clear Spigen case.
Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro
It is a very good price and good feeling.
Protects and feels better than the otterbox, lasts longer than the otterbox, protects better than the otterbox, has a belt clip, has a screen protector unlike the otterbox, WAY less money than the $70 otterbox, Wireless charging and NFC work through it, It is decently slim and easy to fit in mounts.
I have this case and have dropped my phone 9+ times and it sounded very soft when it dropped so it was good protection apparently
Around $7 to $12.
