which case do you use?

this has probably been asked before, but would like to see what everyone is carrying their evo in and maybe a little review?
me, I have the seidio innocase active. I do really like it because its deff very durable and built well, the only downside to it is its a little large, like when I take off the case, the phone actually feels too small.
Im waiting for the otterbox one, but that could be forever.
whatelse is everyone carrying?

I'm using the Seidio Innocase Active Case as well (Saphire Blue). I just received it yesterday and I think it's pretty nice. My only complaint is that the power button is much harder to use than without it. Other than that, I'd recommend it to anyone without a case. I've only had it for one night though so we'll see...

Doesn't make the phone bulky but keeps the camera off the table and protects it from scratches and wear. Came with a screen protector as well.

I don't have a case, I just have the leather holster from Sprint. I almost always wear a belt, so it was a good solution for me. My only complaint is that it cost $30.

seidio's rugged ...if you dont want maximum protection, you can just use the innocase II, perfect everyday case.

Seidio Innocase Active - Pearl White
its looks amazing and it works really well

Casemate barely there.

Seidio Innocase Active Sage color

Seidio Innocase surface here , I have the holster that fits this case . Mainly due to the fact I like using the EVO for music when Im at the gym working out . But at work its usually sitting on the desk

case-mate barely there, however i notice it isn't protecting the edges around the screen and i have a dings on it as well. I am pretty much using it primarily to protect the camera, that's all the case is good for.

I've never seen that model before, looks pretty nice. I have the Otterbox now but until yesterday I was using the Body Glove from Sprint. I can tell you that after having that, it would take quite a lot to get me to buy one of their products again.

I'm using one of the ebay tpu cases, frosted one, before I had the sprint body glove and I liked it, but it broke easy, I like this 5 dollar tpu case, except for the power button, but I might go naked soon cause I ordered the kingston car mount and I think the honey moon period if over for me, I'll find a reason sooner or later too get it replaced and get a new one

gotcha. i have had zero issue with mine. It is rather grippy in the pocket, like a silicone but offers a lot more (IMHO) protection.

I did use the siedo active and it was nice but I'm ocd and that gap bothered me. I just got the otterbox today and love it and I think I'll be sticking with it.

Seidio Innocase NOW SHIPPING!!

I just received an email from Seidio newsletter today, the Innocase for the Samsung Captivate is NOW SHIPPING!!!
seidioonline.com/category-s/4407.htm
Just placed my order!

Nice, 2 weeks after I just got my BodyGlove Mirage case. I was actually looking at this one too but wasn't sure how long it would be before they were available.
Please post your thoughts on your case when you get it (pics if possible). I'd like to know how the case fits and feels. I think it's a 2 piece (bottom and top) slip-on rather than a front and back snap together according to the pictures on their site.
It looks very similar to the OEM Samsung Carbon Fiber case which turned out to be not so good so I returned it.
Thanks!

definitely contemplating this. Been reading so-so reviews on the amzer case.

Received the same notification. Had one of these for my HTC Fuze and have been waiting patiently for this release. Ordered one as well.

Thats case linked is way to BLAH

i placed my order today as well, hopefully will be in soon. i'll be trying to sell my body glove case now, never really liked it that much.

I'm just glad to see they will be offering a range of colors. I'm going to hold out for the Amethyst.

I just got mine today and i must say i love it...

Anyone care to post pics?

Any feedback on this case?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I just got mine today and it is awesome.
I have
the clear snap on case - no gaps but is super hard to get off and feels very molded and cheap. The finish is very smooth / slippery plastic. But overall protects well.
Samsung snap on case - Much easier to remove, and has small gaps where the case snaps together. The finish is a nice velvet checkerboard. The finish is a little rough around the edges the way it was applied / could be better.
Slip in hardcase w/ optional Beltclip - Protects the screen and has an optional snap on belt clip. The phone does not slide completely into the case there is about 1/2 inch of the phone sticking out. Overall okay quality.
This Seido case - Precision made, great finish looks perfect. By far the best of all of them.

Can you please post a few pics...

Yeah I will try to get a hold of my brothers camera, or my other brothers captivate to get some pictures.

I took a bunch of pics with my bros camera. The first ones suck because I took them and didn't know he had some weird settings on it. Some of the later ones are better.
http://www.thevod.org/misc/captivate/100OLYMP/
All the pics wont be done uploading until about 30 mins from now. Also there is a video in there. And it was made with the wicked bad settings. Not sure what mode he had it in but it is a little yellow.

Thank you for the pictures and fast response! Did you also get the belt clip with that case?

Looks like the buttons would be hard to press? Mainly looking at the power/sleep button. Any issues with being able to press it?? Def interested in getting this. Have a Amzer case and it is an Ok case, and i know it is going to be some time before we get a case from Otterbox.

Thank you very much for all the pictures!!! I want this case but its a lot of money for a case imo. My co worker got a case and clip combo like this one for his droid x for $30! which makes me not want to pay $50 for this lol.
Anyway it looks like a really really nice case. I'm sure I will break down and buy this lol

Innocase Extended Rugged For Htc Evo Now Shipping

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd4-hkr5hev4x.htm
I just ordered one. 50 bucks is kinda pricey but I don't want to end up with my phone broken because I have no insurance.
Better order one quick before they run out!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Just ordered mine. Was really bummed about not being able to get the Defender but loving the 3500 battery. Funny how they wait till Otterbox releases the Defender to finally release their rugged add on. Can't get me to believe that they just finished design & production, the phone has been our since June.
Sent from my new BFF...Evo 4G that is!

the only problem is having to take everything off to charge the extended batt. from what i have seen here, the evo wont charge these extended batt compleatly. so you have to charge them externaly.

anyone receive this yet have any comments about the case? im deciding whether or not to purchase this, or sacrifice my extended battery for the otterbox defender
! I HATE THIS PREDICAMENT! :/

yes please!!!! im going back to my stock battery trying to see if the battery life is "doable" for me right now.... otterbox defender case looks SO MUCH MORE SEXIER than the seidio rugged.. even though seidio has it for the extended battery. i jsut dont want it to breakdown like the original seidio rugged cases... -_-
if i go otterbox then that means i have 2 seidio plus wall charger on sale soon! XD

Mine gets delivered today. Since I won't risk using my EVO without it once it's here, it will be hard to be completely impartial, but I'll give my thoughts once I have it.

I have mine and I'm on the fence about it cause it is a little bigger then just the extended I have . I like the extended i was using but did not like the fact it would scratch the sides of phone when taking on and off .not having top and bottom protection was not a big deal but It did make me feel less secure about using the phone .
Now the extended rugged is nice not sure how I feel about it yet but it looks a lot more beefy and the fact I can use it as a weapon to hit somebody or throw it at some poor soul knock him out then pick it up and use it is cool ..but I'll put it on and see how well it fits in pocket and feels in hand ..
One of my favorites is still the otterbox commuter with sedio 1750 love the looks love the feel it's just nice ..
Now I have never done reviews but if you guys like I can take some pics or side by sides just let me know and I'd be happy to help you make your choice if you are still on fence
Sorry for long post maybe bad grammar and poor punctuation but Hey you can read it (painful or not )

I just got my Extended Rugged combo today this morning. I will post pics after I work. It feels really sturdy. Definitely a brick now. I'm sure it would survive a drop easily. Sadly the kickstand is gone tho.

It takes awhile to put it on and take it off considering its bad to charge the battery in the phone. The rubber attracts dust. The headphone and the charge port are covered with the rubber case as a flap. It feels really sturdy, And once on the device it feels like a tank. It isn't as thick as it looks in the pictures feels nice in the hand and in my pockets ( I wear carpenter jeans a lot ). I don't have to worry about breaking the phone any more. Everything is well packaged and for 50 bucks you even get a holster with it. Everything fits together nicely and the buttons are still really easy to push. I never have had problems with the buttons once even tho in the pictures it looks like they aren't there. It is worth the 50 bucks tho, or 30 if you already have the innocase extended. This is the short review though, It will definitely hold up.

Looks very nice tracking says I'll get mine tomorrow now I'll finally have my phone protected at work and a holster I'm excited been waiting on this for awhile figured of wait for combo instead of just the extended

Let me know how it turns out bro, I'm sure the battery is most helpful use of all.

I love this case comes with extended holster for just using extended case and rugged holster with rugged case rugged case is very sturdy and feels very nice in hand I'm not concerned about dropping my evo anymore
the only complaint I might have is when u try to type far keys next to edge you hit case but on rare occasions
Overall definitely worth the wait plus integration with my seidio car dock using ext case is pure icing on the cake
The only reason I won't upgrade this phone is cause the sheer amount of accessories I bought to get it perfect and I'll wait till it dies
Once again thanks seidio for making best sturdy sexy looking accessories ever

This looks like a major problem to me. Does anyone that hasthis case use one of the "slide style" keyboards? I use one and i'm worried I wont be able to "slide" over and hit the P or the Q. Can someone please let me know if this is true or not.
Also I have another question. Does that big beefy belt clip hold securely on a dress/casual type of belt or does it flop around? A friend of mine had the regular rugged case and he hated the holster because it wouldn't grab onto his regular sized belt it would flop around.

[REVIEW][PICS]Qubits TPU Case

This case is pretty nice, I have the Diztronics Matte Case and this far superior.
EDIT: It appears I messed up with adding images, so I provided direct links to a Picasa album under the corresponding text.
First off, I'd like to point out its design.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664838498885570
This case uses a combination of three forms of TPU.
The back uses two, and the side has the third. From the photo, the majority of the back is matte with a gloss design on the side of the back.
Now for the TPU on the actual sides on the phone:
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666212754847586
It's a nice textured form of TPU that provides a great amount of grip without making the phone impossible to slide in and out of a pocket or gather dust like silicon. It may just be that I'm fourteen, but I always found the Galaxy Nexus a bit slippery, or maybe it's because of this the darn phone gets, which looks great but isn't entirely practical.
The case itself doesn't add much to the size of the phone, but it provides decent, and very eye catching protection.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694664844600398466
The back of the case is also raised near the camera to prevent scratches that phones like the EVO were plagued with.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666188166111906
The volume buttons get a dedicated cover, as expected, but makes them feel mushy, but they're really small to begin with.
The cutouts on the phone are pretty big and shouldn't have any issues, and there is also a double-holed thing at the bottom for lanyards.
https://picasaweb.google.com/103360287160249925033/GNexTPUCaseReviewImages#5694666177130719426
This is overall a great case, for its price its pretty hard to beat as well. You can find it here on Amazon.

Link to the buying site would be of great help bro

I've had this since launch, it costed me ~£4 from ebay which I was really pleased with.
So far it has treated me well, feels good, looks pretty good and protects my phone.
I should receive the Diztronic Matte Case sometime next week, I was hoping for that to be an improvement on this! (OP doesn't think so! )

I like that. I am using the stock one from Verizon. I am still waiting for a good case, but this one is pretty nice. I want a clip too I think. However, I break clips by bumping into things

This is the only Galaxy nexus case I currently have, and boy does it get the job done for $2 from Amazon.
Almost got the cruzerlite but the price was right on Qubits.
Anyone know if I were to purchase an extended battery if it would fit with this case? Any extended batteries you'd recommend (for GSM) that won't break the bank (or my phone)

I ordered a clear one from amazon for $1.75. My old smoke TPU case was turning a bit yellow so I ordered this to replace it for a while. I'll post pics if anyone is interested.

Yeah I wouldn't mind seeing that thanks

SEIDIO Active Case Review w Pics

This is my review of my new Seidio Active Case. I own a Ballistic, D3O and now this. It is not bulky & does add much thickness. It is 2 pieces, similar to Ballistic - inside silicone and hard plastic shell. The silicone is smooth similar to the D3O but unlike Ballistic. It isn't the same material as D3O so it does pick up some lint but easily wipes off. It has a kickstand that seems pretty durable. The smooth silicone is easy to slide in & out of pants pockets (doesn't get hung up). It does not make screen protectors bubble - if you see the bubbling at the bottom it is from my D3O case use and wont go away...
Overall, this will be my daily case. I am very happy with it and it looks slick! I will be happy to answer any questions. Added pics below....

Thanks for the review, really like that back stand.

I just picked up this case and already love it. It really isn't any more noticeably bulky than the TPO or Insignia case I used before, yet my phone feels more protected and fits like a glove, unlike the other two that weren't quite as form fitting as I would like. The kickstand is just an awesome bonus.
So far, definitely the best case I've used for this phone.

Same case, same opinion here. Awesome, not too bulky. I'd prefer naked, but I run a Distribution Warehouse, and use my phone at work. Taking falls into concrete is bad for phones.

Any good deals on this case?

I have the blue one, it really is a nice case and pretty sturdy.

Blue Seidio
Great review. I bought the Seidio Active case after my black and white D30 developed cracks for no apparent reason (it had never been dropped) Luckily TMO let me return it.
I bought the Seidio Active Combo (Blue) with holster of Amazon for 40.00 Shipped. I like the case because it is easy to remove so you can swap batteries. A little thicker than the D30 but not as thick as many other cases. Buttons and port openings line up perfectly. It does attract a little dust or pocket lint. Some early reviews spoke of an echo with the speakerphone. It did not do that on mine.
The Sapphire Blue is a metallic type color that seems to change a bit under different kinds of light. The pics I've seen did not do justice to the blue finish. I just want to find a paint like this for my scooter.

Seidio Active case kickstand
Love the case and like you said it looks slick. Just have one question. from pictures I have seen the kickstand looks as though it protrudes from the back of the phone. Does this cause the phone to not sit flat when you set it on it's back? Do you get a rocking affect if you were to try to type with the phone flat on it's back?

It does cause a slight slant but the rocking effect is minimal and only when you are pressing the very bottom of the screen. To be honest, I never even realized this until testing for you... If I press the screen anywhere above the bottom 1/4 of the phone there is no rocking. Hope this helps!

That is awesome to know. Honestly that was my only reservation about getting this case. I love the look of it and doesn't seem to add much bulk to the case. Thanks for following up on this, now I can order one!

Happy to help. This is by far my fav out of d3o, ballistic and this one. It is a great fit and the stand closes firmly to the case. The stand is awesome! I'm sure you will love it. Post what you think when you get it.

Going to order later on tonight so I will definitely let you know! Thanks again....

this is by far the best t989 case available, however would be nice if they would make the surface case for the t989 version. its a solid hard case that adds very lil bulk and more protection, its also very easy to remove. i had it for my sensation and would love it for this one. but seidio seemed to leave the t989 out on it bc its available on all other sg2 models except ours.

My damn kickstand always made a very noticeable click when I would use it but today it broke off. Sent email to Seidio waiting to here back from them. If they can send me a new kickstand I think I can fix it.
The weak link on a great case.

That sucks. That was one worry I've had but have had no problems so far. Let us know how you make out with your request...

I just ordered the blue case with holster last week, still waiting for it to arrive in the mail as well.
In the pictures the kickstand works very well when the phone is sideways (landscape). Are you able to use the kickstand and have the phone stand upright?

I heard from Seidio they can't just send me a new kickstand the only recourse is a complete exchange. Had to return to Amazon. For that kind of money they should be higher quality. Time to start over. I'm not sure what case to get. Any opinions would be appreciated
