Would you like to see a Speck CandyShell case for Evo?

The only thing I miss about my iPhone is my Speck CandyShell case. If you would like to see a CandyShell for the Evo, please go to http://www.speckproducts.com/about/contact_us and send them a note requesting they make CandyShell's for the Evo. If enough of us request it, maybe they will consider! It's a long shot, i know
edit: after a week of owning the Evo, turns out there are more things I'm missing about my iphone then just the case unfortunately. namely battery life, charging time, and size/weight. don't get my wrong, i wouldn't go back. just saying...

hells no, they can keep their overpriced ****. i'm got my case off of ebay because i don't see the justice of paying over $15 for a case. that's all it is folks, a plastic case. i aint paying $35 for something i can get off of ebay for $9.

YES! I've got the Candyshell case on my iPod Touch, and I was just searching for news on one for my Evo. I sent in a request.

My friend has one of these for his iPhone and i like it, but it adds to much bulk. If they made a "slim" line, i would be DOWN cause it looks like it fits the phone well and keeps the dirt out from getting behind the case and scratching things up!

really? i feel just the opposite. its very slim, at least in my opinion. and to the guy saying $35 is too much for a case, you're right. thats why i got my candyshell on amazon for $16 shipped Im not too worried about the price of a case anyways, I mean I am putting a $550 device in it, so even if it was $35, no big deal. I have watched friend after friend crack their iphone screens, and I had dropped mine every way possible and not a crack or a scratch on it. a case needs to have a soft inside and a plastic outside to protect properly. thats just protection 101. you wouldn't wear a solid plastic helmet would you? no, that would hurt like hell. it needs to have padding in it! also, Speck does make "slim line" type cases without the soft inside, but obviously at a cost.

I heard back about my request:

After poking around their site I can't see where they've made ANY cases for HTC products before. Looks like they're mainly Fruit company products.

What i want is that Case-mate makes a leather skin on for the evo its awesome i would never care if i drop my phone i had the leather skin on my ipod for 1 year and i dropped it a multiple times a day and never a scratch on the ipod

TPU ftw.
I loved my speck cases, but now that I have bought an argyle TPU crystal gel case I'll never go back. I love these cases! TPU FTW!

Reconsider the benefits.

Reconsider the benefits of shelling out a few more dollars.
1.) Quality - The protection you get from a quality case vs. a plastic shell is justification enough. How long before you end up shelling out more money for a replacement due to "low quality" materials used for your case?
2.) Durability - A simple hard plastic shell does not absorb impacts very well and may not only break after one fall but can also allow enough internal jolt from a fall to not only damage an internal component in your device but can lead to a severe impact that will cause your screen to crack.
3.) Protection - Cheaper is not always better when it comes to protection. Would you buy a cheap ass condom hoping that it will protect you in the same way a known brand will offer it's protection for you?
For the retail price of $549.99, I'm willing to shell $25.00 to get a quality case for my investment.

I picked up the argyle TPU case as well, but its far from perfect. It will work until someone releases a decent 2 layered case (soft inside hard outside).. not really digging the Seidio Active. Ill rock the TPU until Speck or Otterbox releases something. I do like how thin the TPU case is, but I doubt it would save it from a serious fall the way my CandyShell did.
wanna see some really amazing cases that we cant use for the evo? http://more-thing.com/

Speaking of case-mate, they offer something similar to Speck's CandyShell, though not for the Evo: custom.case-mate.com/mixandmatch/cases/hybrid-tough-custom-cases/

Actually Case-Mate should be launching their case and product line for the EVO soon. Of course, they have to get the iPhone 4 cases out first
On topic, I seriously doubt that Speck will release anything for the EVO. After looking at their site, the only other phone they accommodate is Blackberry.

I know this thread is very dead, but I wanted to revive it. I'm surprised more people don't want a speck case for their evos. I have to say, I love them. I would probably ditch my ext battery just to throw one on. The reason I am reviving this is because recently I saw they added the HD7 and the HTC incredible to their list of covered phones.
To speck:
Cmon, otterbox gets it. Its not only uninformed users that want your cases. Don't you see the market potential? Image where you could be at with sales on the evo if you woulda made one when I as well as many others requested it when the EVO came out. Its still is sprints flagship, and one of the most covered phones out, still.

OP here, i saw those too and it revived a glimmer of hope. Honestly at this point its too late i just hope they make one for evo 3d.

Yeah, I know.. its a shame.
I don't get how they choose their phones to cover. INC and HD7 are the ONLY android phones? hrmm.. You'd think the evo would be one of the easiest phones to make one for. Meh.

That's a good price too. I was just putting it out there that the listing I posted was a buy it now or best offer,and I offered him$ 35,and he accepted it immediately. So I got it for 35,then at paypal checkout, I entered promo code CADVANCE10,and it took $10 off, so I got the case for $25 with free shipping! Give it a shot, bet you get the same deal!

man what a bad time for it to FINALLY come out.
I wanted to get it so I'd have my phone in a case when I went to Air Force basic training (even though I won't be able to use my phone, I still like it protected) and I leave next week. lol overnight shipping I guess.

have you had any issues with the flaking of the rubber? mine is flaking like crazy! and its really hard to hit the buttons thru the silicone.

I gotta say my overall experience with Otterbox hasn't been great. Won't even get into the delays, but when my order finally shipped i received no email conformation. The website said order shipped but no tracking info. I work and my wife is in and out running errands or taking care of our kid, so knowing when it would arrive via FedEx would have been nice.
As for the case itself, i got the Defender series. Do to me being a UPS man i tend to beat the hell out of my phone. I didn't really care about my Dare, but my Droid X is another story. I love this case. It protects everything while still leaving everything accessible and usable, the holster on the other hand i can't stand. It's freakin HUGE. I would have liked some kind of spring action when removing the phone from the holster, but there isn't. It takes some getting use to and one hand removal or insert is very difficult. I usually leave the phone in my truck or shirt pocket and avoid the holster all together.
So for anyone who hasn't purchased a defender case yet here's my 2 cents.

There is no need to buy direct from Otterbox. I got a brand new genuine Otterbox Commuter series for $28 shipped from reputable ebay seller (klassicase). Came in official unopened box, arrived in 3 days, and warranty fully honored. (LINK)
I love it, except for the side port cover (hdmi/usb). It it like there is too much rubber, so it sticks out a bit. The top cover for the headphone jack is spot on. Other than that, it is a great case, easy to hold and not too thick. The screen protector is good too, but I may get a Zagg InvisiShield to put under the otterbox just because I am obsessive. (No 'flaking issues' as reported above, mine is solid)

http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...&refine=y&Category=Cases&Manufacture=OtterBox
43 dollars tax and shipping included.
had a little scuff on the screen cover (defender has built in screen cover) that you had to hold to the sunlight to see, looks perfect on phone.
sweet case.

I got a brand new Defender case on ebay for $35 and free shipping (find one with best offer and offer that and it's instantly accepted). It's the best case I've ever owned for any phone. I don't find any trouble using the holster. You can put the phone in the holster any way you like (face in, face out, upside down, etc). Little bulky, but I like the heft and it's worth the protection to me.

I have been usings the bodyglove case for about 3 months and it worked great but it was only temporary as I was waiting for the otter box cases to roll out. I got a hands on with the defender case and the commuter case, this is my overall opinion on both.
The defender case is awesome and very heavy duty, comes with a great belt clip "metal hindges" and the built in screen protector is a plus. The cons to this is if the screen protector gets damaged you will have to mail the entier case to otter for a replacement leaving you caseless for a while, or doing surgery on your case and literally cutting the screen protector out of the equation and going with an alt. Also the defender is larger and thicker than the body glove case making it impossible to easily remove or put in your pocket, especially with the silicone cover.
The commuter case on the other hand is much thinner, even thinner than the bodyglove case which makes removing other putting in your pocket is a breezee, it is also much more stylish since the poly case is on the outside, the cons to this case is the poly cover will start to scratch over time, it is also much slicker than the bodyglove or defender case so it will slide around on smooth surfaces.
Overall in terms of protection id say they both offer roughly the same amount with the defender being a bit better due to thicker silicone. To me it came down to not wanting a belt clip and not having too much bulk in my pocket so the commuter was my no.1 choice and I have no regrets.

Rearth Ringke Atrix Case Review

So I got contacted in a PM from this person asking me if Id be willing to check out their case. I saw they only had one post and I thought it was spam at first. Im used to getting PM's about getting free iPad's and whatnot so I figured this was part of the mix. They wanted my name and address to ship me a case to try and review. Cant trust anyone these days asking for your personal information right?
Then I clicked the link under the signature of the sender. Rearth was the company I got linked to. I had never heard of this company before and wasnt sure if I was still involved with a ruse or not. Then I did some digging and found that this was a new company to the US making cases for popular phones and other devices.
I figured why not and PM'd back my information. I promptly got an email thanking me for taking part of the review process and was given a tracking number for the case.
Unfortunately, they put my address on the shipment incorrectly. I watched the shipment daily in my tracker as it went from their warehouse, to my local post office, only to see the next label as shipped back to sender for bad address. Oh well, I thought it was too good to be true and was still under the impression it was too good to be true.
I emailed the person I was in contact with what had happened and they apologized and said a new case was being shipped out immediately. Needless to say, a new one was shipped and I actually received it today.
After all the said and done, the first word I can use to describe the case is "Impressive".
The packaging was very nice and was able to see the case distinctly through the packaging. When I opened up the box, a little bag fell out with the case. This is apparently something exclusive to Rearth that I hadnt seen before but is one of those "Duh, why didnt I think of that" type things. The bag contained two little audio jack caps(one white and one clear). They fit very nicely into the audio jacks and are flush with the case when its all installed. I very rarely use my audio jack so it was nice to have something to close it up so lint or other stuff dont get inside.
I didnt have choice of color for the case but luckily I am a fan of yellow and it looks good on the phone. First thing I noticed about the case was how flexible it is and yet protective feeling at the same time. There are many flexible cases on the market that slip over the phone and feel like they would tear within a matter of days and justify the $1.99 you paid on ebay for it. This case however is not in the same league, its way above that.
The case is made from a very high quality silicone and it really feels like it. I really like that its got a texture to it but its not sticky either. Its hard to describe in words. Its slippery enough to slide in and out of your jean pocket easily without pulling out lint(a la Otterbox), but has a very fine coarseness to it that fingers cling to so that it wont be dropped too easily either.
Im used to using hard cases on all my phones that clip in and out of a holster(Seidio cases specifically) so this is my first experience using a softer silicone case. I like that it fits the phone perfectly without any flimsiness. The volume buttons are covered, but raised to feel the individual up and down, but the cutouts for all the other parts are precision cut. The cutout for the fingerprint reader is angled properly all the microphone and speaker ports are perfect. And like I previously mentioned, having the little cap in the audio port matches up perfectly and is a great feature. This little cap I have found, will work with other cases as well.
After using this case for much of the day I feel that I will be using this more and more as my daily case instead of the Seidio. I really like that the Seidio fits into the belt clip perfectly but I dont use that too often. And the Rearth case seems like it might protect it better with my daily tossing and dropping of the phone than the hard Seidio case.
Dont get me wrong, I still love my Seidio cases, but if I were going to put my money down on a silicone case for my phone or other device, it would definitely be from Rearth. I highly recommend this case to anyone in the market for a moderately priced silicone case. Keep an eye on this company, they are here to stay.

Nice review man.

I have the same case in blue this would also be my first soft case coming from cases like otterbox and Speck, this company is here to stay im impressed and i recommend it to all my friends who want a good case 5 out of 5 stars

I ordered one after reading some reviews on here. Good strategy on their part.

I also just ordered one. I have always like silicone vs the hard case.

LOVE this case in black! Has some texture to it, you may or may not like it, but I do. Very slim, will update tomorrow confirming with the car dock fit. Charging dock only really works with top plate removed.

Sorry, answered in a different thread. It physically fit inside the car dock, activates car mode with the clip secured, but the lip of the top clip doesn't reach to the face of the phone, it grips the top of the phone ok.

After owning this case for two months the rubber has worn out and pilled back a coat or twoo im pissed

Not sure why you used all caps...but seriously...contact them? 2 months is actually a decent amount of time for a silicone case...

Otterbox Commuter & XO Skins Screen protector Review w/ PICS!

Hey xda members, 2 days ago i got my Otterbox Commuter case, and today i recieved my XO Skins screen protector.
This is my first time writing a review, so please bare with me lol
So I've been using the otterbox case for a few days now and i must say I LOVE IT!
the fit is very nice, looks great, and feels awesome. I have read that some people find it to be too slippery, but for me its great. I likke how it has the flaps for the charger port and headphones jack, helps keep out dust and such. It sits very nicely in the hand, i found the phone without any case to be a little slim and i felt like it was going to slip out everytime I held it. The one concern I have with this case is the power button, and those that have this case please let me know if it's the same with yours, i can't feel the button actually push in, it feels more like I just touch it and the screen comes on or off. Not sure if I like it or not but i am getting used to it now. The volume buttons on the other hand feel fine. At first i was worried that the case would make the phone look and feel bulky, as i had one for my X2, but i was surprised this doesn't add too much bulk. The phone, to me at least, feels perfect in my hand. Also this case covers up the the prongs below the power button, i don't mind or care about it but some of you might so keep that in mind. Also i do have the extanded battery 2100mAh too and did try it with this case and it's not a nice fit. There are some gaps on the sides and the buttons seem like they are pressed in at times so i would not recommend this case with the extended battery.
And just a few hours ago I recieved my XO Skins screen protector in the mail and put it on right away. My previous screen protector I had just before i put this one on was the verizon one, and it sucked. Cut outs were bad and too large for the toop speaker and there was about a mm of space on the edges of the screen, which i didn't like. The XO on the other hand is fantastic. The screen protector is almost invisible unless you look at the cutout for the front cam and light sensor. It goes right to the very edge of the screen which i like. The quality is also fantastic. The material feels somewhat like that of the ZAGG but no orange peel what so ever, which i also like. I did however order the ZAGG as well for the full body just to be safe lol.
Overall I recommend this case with this screen protector to anyone, both are a great combination. The case i got on ebay for 29.50 and free shipping and the screen protector i got from the XO website, and somewhere on here someone posted some discount coupons which i wish i would have seen before i bought mine but no biggy it was only 13.xx i believe plus 2.99 shipping
I also have on the way and SGP Neo Hybrid case which i will post a review once i get it. Got the Reventon Yellow.

Also, you can't really tell here but the XO skins doesn't affect the quality of the screen what so ever. took that pic on the Nexus actually hood of my car very nice pics even though some people complain.
If someone would like to know something more or see more pics let me know.
Thanks

Question about the XO skin (not directed towards the topic creator but I just figured that since this thread is somewhat related to it I could ask it here), how does the lifetime replacement warranty work? Is it like, you order it and get it but you apply it wrong somehow and it gets ruined they will send you back a new perfect one for you to apply?

I sent them a email. They sent me a link to order a replacement with a rma #. You have to pay $3 and some change for shipping. They tell you too send back the original skin, but for me they sent the replacement upon payment for the shipping. Note that they don't send you any more solution so if you don't have any left you can order more from the site for $3. Not sure if the adding of the solution will increase the shipping costs since I didn't order it. Basically they sent the skins in a regular envelope for regular first class postage of $.44. So they really don't lose anything because they make about $3 on the postage.

That's good to hear. The CM Tough Case's silicon always attracted lint/dust, it appears this one seems better to avoid it.

Is the power button easy to depress with the commuter? My isn't clicky like the volume buttons. I do have a replacement coming soon.

It sucks no one sells the commuter locally. Where did you get it?

most likely lol.. ive seen them price drop on Amazon lately... bought myself the Commuter last night for ~$29 with free shipping.
Had a Case-Mate Tough Case before but was tired of the silicon attracting dust plus Case-Mate refunded me the money I paid for the case so it's like I got it for free because of the revision. Decided not to go with Case-Mate again and give this case a try as I bought a extended battery and that wouldn't fit with Case-mate.

bah looks like I paid $1 over oh well haha

I use the spray for a cleaner now. you can just refill the bottle with water. Add a drop of dish soap if you want. That's all it is. Someone sprayed some in their eye and they said that on their twitter account http://twitter.com/xoskins
That Otter box and xo combo looks great. I have been waiting to get the Otterbox for it, just waiting for it local. I'll probably just order online for it now.

I sent them a email. They sent me a link to order a replacement with a rma #. You have to pay $3 and some change for shipping. They tell you too send back the original skin, but for me they sent the replacement upon payment for the shipping. Note that they don't send you any more solution so if you don't have any left you can order more from the site for $3. Not sure if the adding of the solution will increase the shipping costs since I didn't order it. Basically they sent the skins in a regular envelope for regular first class postage of $.44. So they really don't lose anything because they make about $3 on the postage.

Cool.
Thanks.

Thanks for the review! I think I'm gonna pop off my Defender SP and install one of those XO skins.

Why do they sell the case for cheaper on Amazon rather than their own site?

Seidio case and holster beats Otterbox

I just noticed Seidio have released a rugged case and holster for the Note which they call "Active".
On my Nexus One I had the less rugged "Surface" cover and it was great. The holster is awesome provided you make sure never to get a bit of your shirt in the holster and pull the phone out as I did once.
The holster has a spring loaded clip which is fantastic. Not like the Otterbox flexing plastic clip. I haven't used the Otterbox holster but the Seidio looks much better.
My Nexus One had one drop onto concrete in the case and was fully protected. The case had a corner don't and tiny crack about 4mm but was ready to go round two. Note is 50% heavier but Active has reinforced corners.
The model they have for the Note also has rib exo skeleton (maybe ABS plastic?) which goes to the corners and side in a six point asterisk configuration for extra tough support over the soft rubbery plastic under case.
The Active is $30 for case, $30 for holster or $50 for both together in the combo pack.
They are also making a not yet available version with a kickstands on the Active case for an extra $5 at $35. Same holster. Kickstand Combo $55.
I'm giving them a week to see if they bring out the kickstand model. Otherwise I'll spring my $50 for the regular Active Combo. It was great on my Nexus One. I can't wait to get this onto my Note and onto my jeans belt :-D
I will have to ditch my extended battery to fit. But I have one of those cheap ebay 10,000mah battery packs to recharge on the go now and its great

I had the active case with kickstand and it was the best phone case I have ever had. I had the Otterbox commuter case on my HD2 and it broke. The replacement broke as well. I am not an Otterbox fan. Totally sold on the Seidio active case. I would preorder it now if they let me.

I've had Seidio cases that were awesome and some that fell apart. I've had Otters that were awesome and some that fell apart. Both companies are hit or miss in my experience.
I've had Trident and Ballistic cases and all of them were durable and beautiful.

I ordered a combo case last week. Should be here sometime this week, looking forward to it.

Is there anything that can beat it? I see Case Mate is here for Note and it looks good. But no holster means no deal for me.
Does Seidio have any rugged competitors?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Wow. I live in Spain and I was about to order the case when I saw shipping was 35 dollars. Total rip off. Case mate only charges 7 dollars. I guess I'll go with case mate as soon as I find out how much thicker it makes the device.

Yeah Seidio are expensive. I'll either pay for it though or switch to Galaxy S3 AND 7 or 10" Note... none of which are available yet...
Probably cheaper to put my Note into a new Seidio suit than two devices into Seidio suits ;-)

I think the price is reasonable. Not the shipping costs.

Seidio combo
Got the combo case today in the mail. WORKS PERFECT!
fuzzy clip holder to protect the screen, nice spring loaded clip for the belt & spring loaded clip to hold the phone into the holster.

Seidio
Please post some pictures of the case!

Im concerned about how thick it makes the device...i know the surface ones only add about 1mm..
hopefully its still pocketable

Very little added. Less bulk than the Case that at&t has.
Just to see if it would fit, I popped on the speck black at&t case, and it fits
the Seidio belt clip/holder perfectly.
So if you have that one, or something very similar, you can get just the
Seidio belt clip.

I'm a big fan of the Otterbox Commuter Series case for my SGS II. This looks like a really good alternative while Otterbox sort themselves out in releasing a case for the Note.

Here are some photos of the Seidio case, next to a 10 dollar case I found
on the internet here> http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260961000978&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123
I actually like this 10 dollar case almost if not more than the Seidio case

Notice how the cutouts for the on/off & volume sort of cover the buttons?
They don't seem to bother it when you want to use them. The other
cases have the rubber sticking over them, and at times when it is in the
clip and I sit down (mine stays on my left hip, means on/off is pointed DOWN)
I see the phone light up because it strikes my pants leg and activates it.
Here it is with the kick stand sticking out.
And here is a photo of BOTH empty cases laying side by side. As you can
see, the cheapy case is a little thinner than the Seidio case.
There ya go...hope it helps. I'm going to use the 10 dollar case from
China this week, see how it goes. I ordered it on Feb 26, a Sunday
in the states, Monday in Hong Kong. I received it via standard mail
on Monday, March 12 in Missouri.

i dont like that because the top/bottom edges are exposed, no good on a drop

Yep, that is the problem with it, but, I'm VERY careful. Ran my Dell Streak for over a year without any case or screen protector on it, just the microfiber pouch.
I don't use screen protectors at all. The only reason I put this plastic/rubberish case on it is because it fits the belt clip like a glove. Oh, the bottom being exposed for me anyway, has the side benefit of fitting the charging dock without having to strip it out of the case.

In order to use the holster to fit good, do you need the seido case? Can the holster be used if there's no case?
Im still searching for a nice holster

No, it will "fit", but it's VERY loose. I'd be afraid it would fall out.

Thanks for posting the pics! So all of my other seidio holsters have a rotating clip with strong ratchet. Can you move this holster to be vertical as well a horizontal? From the picture it looks like you can only do horizontal.

Interesting find on Seidio Active Combo
I posted earlier in the ATT forum how I was disappointed in the lack of a good current coupon for a Seidio Active combo.
Turns out that Google really is your friend. I found and ordered the same product from this vendor. The price represents a 30% discount to Seidio's price. I also did not have to pay sales tax (sorry New Yorkers) that I would if I had ordered from Seidio. (They are in Texas).
They also accept paypal which made it super easy to order! If you are interested in this combo, this might save you a bit of money.
