I just went to case-mate.com again looking for Evo skins, and it looks like they added 4 placeholders for upcoming Evo cases! Check it out:
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-EVO-4G-Cases/HTC-EVO-4G-Cases.asp
Its nice to see one of the larger brands on board
Darn, i like case-mate
i really hope they would hurry up and show their offerings, I am having to resist buying that new seidio rugged innocase belt clip combo (its like the innocase active but with a belt clip and a camera lense cover)
I'm gonna definitely snag one of these cases up when they become available.
Saw this yesterday also. Now just waiting to see what the cases look like.
Wouldn't mind having a "Tough" case that covers the buttons. This would prevent the lower edge of the screen possibly becoming displaced
They made a new series. I'm diggin' the yellow one! I'm going to order it as soon as I get my mytouch 4g... which will take a while.

Will we ever know? The otter is sleep. Trident has put 2 cases on the street since Otterbox made the announcement proclaiming they were working on a case for the MT4G.

The commuter case is already out and you can buy them from their site. I loved the commuter case on my iPhone and was thinking of getting on for the myTouch but they don't have any colors but black but these have some color options

personally, I think trident cases are more protective. Otterbox seems to be all hard plastic while trident has soft rubber and hard plastic mixed, so you phone doesnt slide as easily. I dont think otterbox can do that.

there are descriptions on each of there cases for about everything you need to know.
But I prefer the aegis
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
AEGIS:
Description
The myTouch 4G by HTC brings the advanced capabilities of 4G to the T-Mobile network. Trident Case's Aegis for myTouch 4G envelops the device with profound protection while maintaining a sleek look and feel.
Features
Three-Layer Protection
Durable polycarbonate shell with impact-resistant silicone ring and PET Screen Protector (installation kit included).
Distinctive Construction
Unlike Trident Case’s other series of cases, with the Aegis, the silicone layer is on the inside — in direct contact with the myTouch 4G— with a hard polycarbonate shell on the outside. This design gives the case a unique look and feel while maintaining incredible protectiveness.
Drop Protection System
The four corners of double-thick silicone insulate the myTouch 4G from everything including light bumps to violent drops with a unique shock-absorbing design.
Anti-Skid Design
The exposed portions of silicone give the case a firm grip on even the slickest surface whether the case is face-up or face-down.
Screen Protector
The Aegis for myTouch 4G comes with a scratch and smudge-resistant screen protector- keeping the screen safe without sacrificing responsiveness.
Technical Specs
Plastic covers made of Polycarbonate and the skin is of Silicone. All materials are 100% RoHS compliant.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
CYCLOPS:
Description
The Cyclops for MyTouch 4G™ offers the renowned Trident Case level of maximum protection without sacrificing the sleekness or functionality intended by the original designers at HTC.
Features
Total Protection
Constructed from high impact-resistant polycarbonate and double-enforced with a shock absorbing silicone outer-ring.
Clear PET Screen Shield
Anti-scratch, anti-glare, bubble-free, clear PET screen protector shields screen from finger prints, smudges, scratches and moisture while maintaining complete touch screen interactivity. Package includes the installation kit for the screen protector.
Ergonomical
Carefully designed for a reliable, comfortable, non-slip hold.
Anti-Dust Design
Camera lens and flash PET film protector included to keep out dust and debris (optional). Headphone jack and dock connectors fully protected when not in use.
Velvet Touch
Multi-coated rubberized finish encases the device for a smooth feel and sleek appearance. Available in 9 different colors.
Technical Specs
Plastic covers are made of polycarbonate and the outer-wrap is silicone. All materials are 100% RoHS compliant.
Available in 6 Colors:
Black, Blue, Green, Pink, Red, and Yellow.
Thank you, I'm a steel fabricator and work in a hellish environment. Seems like Aegis is tougher and cheaper too
My mytouch 4g
no problem.
just ordered one in black, will post my thoughts when it arrives
I wish I would have known about the Aegis before I ordered a Cyclops. I can't stand the Cyclops, and I never use it.

Are they available anywhere now or just pre-order?
So far it looks like the aegis is only available in black. If you go to tridenteer(dot)com you can get a notification when the colors on your wish list are available
Also be careful with cyclopscases(dot)com, they're not affiliated with trident at all and may be selling knock off product

Can anyone confirm this? Because the price is $10 cheaper, and I would love to save the $10 but not if I am going to get a defective case as it is a gift for someone else. LoL.

For the record, OtterBox cases are also a double layer mix of soft material and hard polycarbonate.

cyclopscases is bluedealzdotcom, a wireless accessories provider headquartered in Plainfield, IL.
Can anyone give a pretty good comparison of the two cases? I'm looking to get a nice solid case for my new E4T beyond the TPU case I have for it now.
I have this case for my iPhone 4 (work phone) and LOVE the case (I could leave the phone). http://www.amazon.com/Acase-iPhone-..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324128984&sr=1-1
What are the pros and cons of each case? Right now they seem to be similar size, protection and price so I would be down to picking on appearance right now but function > form in this case.

I can only vouch for Otterbox at the moment but they don't make a case for the Sprint GS2, which is a bummer.

I have the case mate tough case. I also have a ballsitic case . I use the case mate more because it is smaller . The ballistic case protects more but is a little bulky. best prices are on daydeal.com. They dont have the case mate tough case
I just got the tough case today.. And have been using it all day.
Seems like a sturdy enough case, feels good in the hand and doesn't have too much bulk. The rubber inner liner near the screen tends to attract dirt and stuff, but not more than any other case would do.
Has a nice textured feel all the way around. Nice and grippy, but not so much that it is impossible to take out of your pocket.
All in all, I paid 22 for out and consider it money well spent
Trying out this E4GT...
Ive got the trident aegis case in the mail so ill chime back in when I receive it.
Sent from my E4GT using XDA App
So I've got the trident case installed.
This case is very solid. The internal silicone layer is much thicker than an otterbox's silicone. The outside plastic is also a different material than an otterbox. There is no doubt that this phone will survive a fall.
Do you want to know anything specific about this case? I can take pictures if you're interested.

I was wondering if anyone had both and thought one was better I have an Aegis case in the mail
i have both cases . while Casemate tough is nice the trident aegis for SG2 is is the better case . Otterbox makes a slod case but prices are more expensive with less quality than Trident
I picked OTHER case. with just a few mods its an amazing case!!

AMAZING case if you like "large" protective cases like I do. Especially on such a slim phone it ends up not being overly large at least if you have large hands like I do.
I ordered 2 so I could get blue on blue. they are $10 a pop on ebay or amazon.
white red pink blue green yellow and pink are available.
it has a few very minor annoyances I was able to fix all of them. check out the pictures and the videos. Absofreakinglutely love this case.
I just ordered 2 more. one that might have an orange skin (probably red but worth $8 for the chance of orange) and another black one with a clearly ORANGE hard shell (so I can do blue on orange)
Very very nice case. I love it so far over a week of usage NO downsides found yet once the minor annoyances are fixed. a pleasure to use.
the built in kickstand also "works" as a flygrip style gadget to make one handed use much easier.
really love this case. just ordered one for my evo and one for my prevail as well.
Wrong section, Don't even know how I got here sorry for reviving an old thread!
Seidio cases are my love.

I personally bought the Ballistic case when I bought my phone and havent had any issues with it at all. I have dropped my phone numerous times and no scratches or anything, I can drop my phone and not worry about it lol
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Ballistic-Protection-Series-Protective/dp/B006H7US7U
There's a link to it, for way cheaper than I paid at the Sprint store
I know of Casemate & Ballistic, but the Otterbox cases have the part that overlaps and goes around the front face of the speaker on the front of the phone, and at the bottom. Is there one like that for this phone, or am I stuck between the Ballistic & Casemate?
I have the Ballistics case and I'm very happy with it. Just use a seperate screen protector. I've wanted an Otterbox myself, to be honest, but they have some drawbacks from what I hear. I've never owned one, though.
Both the Ballistics case and Zagg screen cover come with lifetime warranties too, if I'm not mistaken.

Unfortunately Otterbox doesn't make a case for our phone. Thankfully we have some pretty decent choices, however.
I use the: Case Mate Pop case for the Epic 4g Touch
Also very popular are: Ballistic Case for Epic 4g Touch and the Trident Aegis Case for the Epic 4g Touch
I think once the case mate wears out for me I'll probably switch to the aegis. The ballistic looks too large for my tastes, but its completely opinion. I bet the ballistic would protect the phone the most.
I also wanted an Otterbbox case. When I bought the phone it came with the Ballistic case and I hated the odd corners. I decided to go with the Black Trident Aegis and haven't looked back. Been with the phone for about a month now and I'm very happy with this case. Love it more than my otterbox commuter on my Evo 4g and Evo 3D.
The corners of the Ballistic case are what I like most about it. The way they protrude provides a uniquely secure grip, especially in landscape mode, or doing, what I call, the hands-free shoulder-face maneuver.
It's hard to explain, but they allow the phone to be held in very awkwardly positions, such as underneath your chin, without breaking a sweat (or your $400 phone).

Trident Aegis is, in my opinion, the best case for this phone. It is very protective, has screens over the mic and speaker to stop debris from coming in, and the case actually makes the side buttons easier to press. I've always used otterbox, and I've found the Trident Aegis to be a perfect replacement.
Got it here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006QYPACW/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
The Case Mate Pop case is very very similar to an Otterbox Commuter, and comes with a built in kickstand.
It does it's job pretty well too. Last night in I was in a pretty upset mood with someone on the phone and I threw it as hard as I could against the wall and the phone was fine. The case is fine too.
ballistic all day
Looks like Otterbox finally got around to making a case for the Epic Touch. Two actually, the defender and the commuter.

Casemate tough case
I got the casemate tough case online for $16. It seems very similar to the otterbox I had for my EVO. If you want to pay for the name, go ahead baller.
P.S.
I have not thrown it off a 10 story building or run it over with a car, so I can't honestly say if stands up to the otterbox legends.
Try Tuf Tek,its only $5 on amazon and I bet its just as good if not better than these $20-30 cases.
I own one and it has good grip and side buttons are easy to press.I never owned Trident or other expansive cases but I really dont see what extras they cam have that this case dont.
Here is one I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005U3OQK2/ref=redir_mdp_mobile ,only thing that color is little off.
I would love for someone to buy one and compare it to othe more expansive cases.

I couldn't bring myself to fork out $50 for a case I can't try on first. I instead ordered the Ballistic SG from Amazon for $19 (and the company gave me free 'first class' shipping!)
I had the same case for my Nexus S 4G so I know what to expect, and it was $30 cheaper
http://www.amazon.com/Fishbone-Face...O6EE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330984974&sr=8-2
Yeah, bought that guy for 8 bucks. Hopefully it won't suck.
Otterbox Commuters and Defenders should be at the Sprint stores by the end of next week
Coming from a thunderbolt I am really interested in a thin case which has a kickstand, but I always use my phones naked in a holster which clips on my belt.
I found this on amazon, should be released tomorrow
http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Kick-Stand-Packaging-T-Mobile-Cellular/dp/B008B85DNC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=G6MAD593YXAT&coliid=I1UCOZWOUS0H0M
But I'm not sure about the quality. Anyone know of any good holsters with belt clips? or anything else like the one from amazon.
Thanks:cyclops:
I have this same case style for my HTC Rezound. It is a great case, very strong but super light and thin. The kickstand is a good design that works. When you have it folded you can not even tell it's there. Well thought out. I will get one for the SGS3 as well.
Great, I think I will be ordering this one as well. The holster has a belt clip on it, correct?
Anyone else?
Had one for my iPhone. Works very well. Just ordered this one for my S III!

How does that case compare to the CrazyOnDigital case?
http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigita...amsung-T-Mobile/dp/B00805SEHI/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
I've currently got a Qmadix for my GNex but the version they have for the S3 is not very attractive in a professional setting.
Just ordered the one I posted in the OP, I hope the quality is good as there are no reviews, but I need a case for this when it comes in
I don't care for this one because of the exposed top part of the case. Seidio (http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/8156.htm) has several cases with holsters -- one of which has a kickstand. I had the Surface version for my S2 and it worked great. Even dropped it a couple of times from about waist high onto the lovely slab concrete hallway at work and fully protected my phone.
