I've been pouring through pages and pages over Amazon and eBay, hoping to find good cases and screen protectors, or a Wireless charger upgrade for our phone but the results are just sad.
This is such a gorgeous phone, I'm surprised there are so few accessory manufacturers making products for it.
Yes, there are a lot of vendors, but most of them re-sale the same stuff in different packaging.
I was hoping to get an Outter Box case for this phone, but it doesn't even exist, so found some 3rd party similar to Outter Box, I hope it works, it's still in the mail
The Incipio case is nice, but the color choices are so dull...
Screen protectors, went through a few already, none of them fits 100%, still hunting for a better fitment.
Last I hope they will make some sort of wireless Qi charging for our phone.
Many other models of phones has had the Qi upgrade, that you install either inside the phone, or outside and connects to the USB port, ugly but at least it works.
I'd prefer to see one in which we can install inside the battery compartment.
The lack of accessory support for our phone is annoying, makes it feel incomplete.

yup, i picked up the a couple of "HTC QC 3.0 Powerbank USB Type-C"
http://www.htc.com/ca/accessories/htc-qc-3-powerbank-c/
I compared them to aftermarket QC3 power packs, and the HTC ones are the best bang for the buck, especially at the current sale prices.
At least you know they'll be using quality battery inside, and not some poor quality battery when you buy aftermarket power packs.
They look like Anker powerbanks...
Yep, it sucks. I emailed OtterBox and they said they're not making cases for it. I picked up the LK one on Amazon to get me by. Supposedly Seidio is going to make one. I might send the phone back, it's a little big for my liking, plus the lack of a heavy duty case.

Those were the closest I can find that offer similar protection like OtterBox cases.

Spigen makes great quality cases, they have done all of the other HTC phones I think they will make more the U11 as well.
Their dual TPU/hard case was on my M8 for 2 years protected against every fall!

For the best screen protector try Brando Workshop Ultra-Clear. Fits great with no haloes just like in tempered glass ones.

I'm hoping that Beyza come out with one, I've got their Diamond one and it's perfect:
http://www.beyzacases.com/pd-htc-to...vsl16-vertical-leather-case-vintage-brown.cfm
My mates got the first one for his Touch Diamond 2 and my HTC hero doesn't fit inside it very well, too tight.
I've seen this as well - looks nice. It's a generic one though, so don't know how well it would fit. I'd much rather get a dedicated one (Beyza hopefully) though.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/krusell-luna-pouch-extra-large-black-p19810.htm
i really doubt they would be a good fit for the hero and ive heard that the hero rubs on the inside of them resulting a smudged look on the hero
I've got one similar to the second link, bought from the same seller HERE. My Hero fits nicely inside it and delivery from Hong Kong was quick.

Do you have a white Hero and if so does that pouch stain it at all? I've tried a couple of pouches that stained mine.
no sorry - it's a black G2.
I've just received a gel case with protector from here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180415010020
Really happy with it, and the screen protector is actually really really decent (i.e. fits the whole glass screen) and applied easily with only one tiny tiny mark that I can hardly notice. Not tested over the long term, but I think I paid 30p extra over the case to get this.
yeah ive got a gel case also, the screen protector extra is a must!!
together theyre great at protecting my phone and extremely durable
only thing with that is the phone wont fit in the dock with a case like this on. nice though.
do the cases scratch the back side?
Nah it doesn't scraTch it. I've had the gel case on my hero for around 3 months now and the back is in pristine condition
this is the case i use, its the best one i have had yet, it comes with a pretty decent screen protector aswell. Its the hardest, most rigid skin i've had but its still flexible enough that it won't crack or split and it much better quality than the flexishield ones (i've tried one of those aswell). My phone takes some serious hammer and it still looks brand new after 6 months! lol...which even surprises me.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/capdase-soft-jacket-2-xpose-htc-hero-black-p22496.htm

The Capdase Soft Jacket 2 Xpose is great.
finally got one of these ebay "soft silicon gel" transparent cases. looks ok, feels ok... no complaints really, I think it will protect my Hero just fine and isn't bulky. only 5$ including shipping
I'm using the Zagg invisibleSHIELD. I've used this on quite many of my phones, and it's great. Protects only against scratches, but on the other side, I've never been a phonecase guy, and scratches is my main phone problem. Or I'd rather say; WAS!
Capdase Smart Pocket
I should be getting my hero at the weekend thanks to an upgrade with t-mobile and I really like the look of the Capdase smart pocket for it.
I've had a look on mobilefun (linked above) and also found another site that lists it called vinko's treasures. Neither of them seem to have it in stock.
Does anyone know anywhere that stocks these cases or of any similar pouch cases that are designed to fit the hero?

I was using a gel case up to about 2 or 3 months ago, but it started to yellow quite badly. I stopped using it, and my Hero has been fine without it.

Why don't try something which is in good quality
I bought a case from ebay before, It is attractive because it sells in a lower price,
but seems I was unlucky, the case damage within about 2 month - loose sewing and can't fit to the charger hole
I try serveal online store, which I would highly recommend to you is PDair,
you may check this out:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000759
They keep the quality well and the price can be acceptable
I bought the HTC case for now. Seems to protect the phone just fine if not the best fitting case going. I've found another site that stocks the Capdase one called MobiMega (can't post links just yet) and the price works out quite cheap too. Might have to get one ordered up to compare.
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 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

screen protector was free

Picked up a Body Glove hard case when I picked my 3vo up this morning. Doesnt add too much bulk
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
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?
I currently have an Otter Box for my 3vo. I like my case, I really do. Can't count how many times I have dropped my phone and not marks left on the case. Well I would like to know who out there makes a silicone case for the phone with extended battery packs, along with a cradle that will hold the over sized phone.
Seidio makes a docking station that will fit their extended battery. Seidio also makes a case that fits with their extended battery, it's similar to the Defender.

We just approved the prototype today for a new TPU case for the Evo 3D after market extended battery. It should leave our factory in China on 9/14 and be available soon after. I don't have any pictures yet but I'll attach the 3D scan
We have similar cases on Amazon for the Thunderbolt, Incredible, and Evo 4G but this will be our first TPU case due to customer requests that the silicone was to soft.
Hello. Not trying to spam you guys with advertising but we did release our new TPU case today for the Evo 3D. I believe this is the first case available for the aftermarket extended batteries.
You can find them on Amazon and Ebay in various colors. I'm anxious to hear any reviews from any of you guys. Let me know if you have questions.
Have a blessed week!
I cant find you on Amazon.

Well this is really refreshing and I like it. However I just cant seem to understand why this casing would be more expensive than the extended batt I bought for only USD 7. Hopefully the price will be more competitive once the mass production begins

Good question and I don't mind giving you a completely honest answer.
There are only a handful of manufacturers in Asia ( I only know two but I'm sure there are more) that have the 3D equipment and tools to make the silicone moulds. Hundreds of companies can make cases (and cheap) but none of them can make the moulds. The average cost to make a mould for TPU is about $3000USD and for silicone is about $2000.
Add that to an already narrow niche market of people buying extended batteries, narrowed more by people that want cases it means selling over 1200 units (at our retail price) to break even.
There are other companies selling cases for the Thunderbolt for $24.99 and a manufacturer as of today still selling a case for the Evo4G on Amazon for $14.99 and its in the top 100 in Amazon Sales rank for Electronics. We try very hard to be very competitive which I hope you agree with.
Thanks for your comment. Simple supply and demand economics lesson
Awesome...... I will be getting one here in the next few days. Thanks!
Bang!! The sound of my Shooter
The evo 3d tpu extended battery case is a flop.
The tpu case for the evo 3d with extended battery does not allow you to use the power on / off button and the volume up / down button. The plastic is too hard and will not work the buttons, it was poorly designed. I tried one off ebay from northmont30096 and the only way I can work the buttons is to remove the case. The phone itself as far as design is flawed by them building the buttons into the back case, not to mention its a real pain to get the back cover off and back on especially compared to the design of the evo 4g. My suggestion to anyone is wait for a true silicone case, or try the seidio case which I do believe the active case I think is designed with access to the buttons built in to the back door and not covering them. I guess until someone comes out with a true silicone case for the 3500 generic extended battery, until then factory battery and back door for me it is with a true silicone case. I would rather have a case some might say is too soft that will work the buttons than to have a hard tpu case that I have to take off to use the buttons. Just my 2 cents.
Something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqesTZRGwyQ&context=C38b7f16ADOEgsToPDskKBMFMK6BjkFCi6z3oqRqDJ would be perfect for my needs. Something I can proudly take to the office that doesn't look like it was purchased at the local Dollar Store.
Sorry for the rant but the lack of quality accessories for this tablet is killing me.
Apparently no one wants to put money into a device that may not even survive a few months. You will only get the low end stuff really. Everyone knows Apple is the real deal and isn't going anywhere....so it is a sure bet to invest. Remember, you don't need to sell Apple stock, it sells itself.
I have yet to buy one, but this is one of the few I have seen that says it is actual leather.
http://www.skindigitalstore.com/categories/ASUS-Transformer-Prime-TF201/
If you get one and like it let me know.
My friend has a roocase for his og nd its very nice.. Here is a link to one, but they make several. I like this one because the tablet is in a "detachable" sleeve. (I have a substantially similar version made by MiniSuit but it's very cheap leather - looks fine from any distance, but for $14 I know it's not good quality - it serves a purpose and looks fine for my needs.
Anyway..... check Roocase. I've seen and handled that brand and think it is nice. MUCH nicer than most anything else available. If you don't like it, return it.
I have the Caseen Skinny and it's great.
tuff-luv.com has some great albeit pricey leather cases for not only the Prime Tablet but also the Tablet and Keyboard.
The real question is: "Where are all the quality non-leather cases?"
There are tons of options for leather cases with varying degrees of quality, but there are practically no non-leather cases.
I have the cheaper poetic/mono case and it has been great. No complaints.

How is it only going to last a few months? They are releasing the tf 700 in a couple of months, but that will be the same size so if anything the lifetime will be expanded more that it normally would be.
Also this is a good case, I got the exact same type just from a different company called Acase, because it was cheaper priced.

I also looked at the Roocase but I am concerned of the thickness the case would add to the tablet.
I also purchased the Mini Suit case to hold me over and agree that it's made of very very very cheap looking pleather.
So my search continues
I bought this case off of eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/260938668106?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
I have several cases from this guy on our Kindles, Nooks, iPad and now TFP. Have had some for over a year and there are holding up great.
The two problems I have with this case is that it will not charge closed or when sitting in landscape as shown.
I was skeptical about different cases i kept finding online. But after taking a proper look at this one --> "GreatShield Multi-Stand Leather Protective Folio Case for ASUS TF201 Eee Pad Transformer Prime"
I went ahead and ordered it. It cost me 20pounds and was shipped from the US. In terms of quality, It is way better than any leather case for any tablet I have seen so far including those for the ipad (and I mean it). I asked someone @ my UNI to guess how much it cost me and he said "probably 70pounds". My point is, it is of the best quality, it looks sleek, professional and prestigious. Even better is the fact that it is tailor made for the transformer prime so all ports are accessible. Its design also doesn't cover up the bezel like most other tablet cases do (something i dislike with a passion).
I trust that if you go ahead and get it, you will not regret it. Here's the amazon UK link
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006RML5ZO/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
If you live in the US, you can search for it on amazon.com.
I hope this helps.
Cheers mate.
Thanks for the info jdeltree, unfortunately I have already purchased & tried this case
http://www.amazon.com/TF201-Transfo...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1330033453&sr=1-3
which looks fairly similar and was not happy with the design. Used it for 10 minutes and went back to the cheap minisuit.
Most of my cases in the past did cover the bezel and I kind of got used to that.
I may just bite the bullet and try the Caseen one. At this rate I will end up with a drawer full of these cases in search for the right one.
Going to give the Acase another try tonight to see if I can get used to it.
The saddle leather one coming soon from tuff-luv looks promising. 99£, but saddle leather is a top quality product. Once a picture is available, ill probably order one, as long as I can get it to the states.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
Yea, I love the look of that saddle leather one. Very cool indeed.

If you think that $10.00 is quality leather, or leather at all for that matter, then your standards are very low.
I have the caseen one, I'm pretty happy with it.. Doesn't add too much bulk but does add a good amount of protection. I feel the build quality is good too.

UGLY duckling. Also, they forgot to make holes for the speaker! A lot of cases apparently have forgotten to make holes for the speaker. I'm still using my Caseen Skinny case and I still love it.
I purchased a oneplus 6t a few weeks ago and am now looking for a case with a built in magnetic ring. I have a magnetic mount that I really like using and after my last flight I decided I really want something that can prop my phone up. Funny how little things made me change my mind about the screen size and having a kickstand of sorts. Anyways, I've been looking on Amazon and all the cases I see look like clones of each other and the ones that people review on mention how it is flimsy, provides poor protection and the ring breaks after 4 days. Also the text, auto focus and ultimate experience really turn me off on getting the case.
Currently I'm using the case that came with the phone and I put a ailun magnetic keyring in the back but the bump is starting to annoying me when I place the phone down. Any suggestions?

Yes, I also ordered that same one from Nillkin through Giztop last week or so .along with their H+Pro screen protector. Hopefully, it will be worth the wait if it ever gets here that is.I will be sure to post my opinions once I get it.
Hope you guys aren't disappointed when you get them. I was looking at possibly getting them, but noticed the case is for the OP6, not 6T. And if you look at the title/description, it says 6, and later 6T, very inconsistently.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Sy...sh=item260afcf8ca:g:io8AAOSw5wFb-KiG&LH_BIN=1
I ordered my case from ebay, has not arrived yet but the seller is trusted. I have purchased all my cases from the same buyer, takes 2 weeks to get in Finland. And this one is for the 6T, not the 6.
The same casemodel for LG G6 was total rubbish, very flimsy and cheap. But if the pictures are right, this one is totally different. I guess it depend from the shape and size of the phone.
Ok, I've had it on for a couple days now. I actually like it. I can see how it may not provide much protection to glass as the edges are pretty even with the glass. I used to have Loopy case and this is pretty similar. The ring on the back appears to be taped on with 3m tape, but pretty sturdy nonetheless. Works on my magnetic mounts as well. For the price, I say it was worth it for now. The oem case went over the glass too much making the edge difficult to access. Gonna stick with this case.
