I have already used the spot. It is THAT important.
No, I was planning on possibly posting pics of the Ballistic Case to convince everyone that this is an awesome case. My wife and I are using the Cyclops right now, and it rocks. But I would like something more rugged for when I go to work.

LOL!! Thats just awesome! i wasn't trying to be a ****. just wondering what he was gonna use all that space for. you usually only see that kinda thing with dev's and all the updates they tend to post.
still, well played sir, well played!
Just fired off a rather douche-y email to [email protected]
I feel that the release of the case was intentionally delayed until this day passed. Basically, if I don't get the EVO case for 40% off because I'm certain this is intentional, I'll be sticking with my Seidio Rugged.

I think I may stick with my Trident Cyclops until I can get a decent discount.
I have been waiting for this case for a while now!! I have been in constant contact with Ballistic about the release date and so forth through phone and email. After they posted the new pics of the redesigned back, and delayed the release even further...I went out and bought the Seidio Innocase Rugged with Holster and LOVE it!! Was considering the Otterbox Defender as I love the Impact and Commuter but the Defender got horrible reviews....
SO, with 40%, I will probably jump back on board. At $50....I'll stick with my RUGGED and like it!! The Seidio Rugged seriously is an AWESOME case, and having the Innocase too is nice. I bought it just for work, the evenings and weekends I let the Evo run around naked. Though I have found myself taking off the exoskeleton and silicone case and leaving on the Innocase in the evenings...its pretty nice!

I have to disagree on the Seidio case. I thought it was great when I first got it, but after just a couple weeks the port covers were tearing back into the case and I had to cut them off to stop the tearing. Then one day when I went to take the skeleton off, a piece of it just snapped off in my hand. The camera cover wouldn't stay pinned back anymore, so I had to cut that off too. Finally, the holster is a really poor design. The lock gets unlocked too easily and then the phone can just fall out. It should be made so you push down to lock it and pull up to unlock.

That sucks!! Hope that doesnt happen to mine. Mine is actually the Best Buy Platinum brand version. Which appears to be slightly different than the ones branded Seidio. I think they took the flaws from the Seidio branded cases and fixed it on the Platinum branded cases, or so I heard (really looks that way too). For those who dont know, the Platinum brand that Best Buys sells is just Seidio product with a different brand name stamped on it (it even says Seidio on the bottom of all of the packages :-D )
I bought my Seidio Rugged from Amazon..not a port cover has torn or a piece of the skeleton broke off in my hand.
I read this in all the reviews..and all I could do was facepalm and make the purchase KNOWING that these behemoths' were just trying to rip the case off rather than "REMOVE" it. A little finesse goes a long way.
I won't replace my Rugged, just like I never replaced my Seidio case for my G1 way back. I will cheat on my rugged for 40% off that sexy looking ballistic though..even though at full price it's ugly.

Mine lasted since the release date until I broke the skeleton a couple weeks ago. No problems with anything else. The rubber on the replacement they sent is quite a bit heavier and the exoskeleton a slightly different design. I told them it would be nice if just the skeletons were available to buy separately in the Seido store and they said they'd pass that on to sales. If you guys have any problems tell them the same. Oh yeah and colors would be nice too.
^^I agree!! I think they have updated their design and product.
Colors would be nice too!! I like the Pearl White ActiveCase Limited Edition that they have on Amazon. White and black is just a sexy combo on the Evo...

Actually, I wasnt "ripping" it off. I just used my fingernail to pull back the corner and release it and it just fell off in my hand. However, I still use it every day and it still does a good job of protecting my EVO. I would just expect more from a case that costs $50 and claims to be "rugged". I preordered mine, so it was one of the first batch. Maybe the newer ones really are better.
Discount or not, I do plan on getting the red Ballistic case when they are available.

Yeah, I don't understand why he's talking about finesse with a "Rugged" case. Anyhow, my wife and I are both careful with our phones and don't rip the case off. And it chipped off on both of our phones.

Brat, it sounded like the sale was for cyber Monday, duh
I recently ordered my ballistic hc case of off amazon just in time because I got my first scratch today so I can't wait to get it. But to all the owners out there, how does it hold up? How does it feel, do you like it, is it worth it? Because this scratch really opened my eyes but at least its not on the display. And on a semi related note, anybody have any tips on how to maybe buff it out or something?
i could beat somebodies head in with this case on my phone and still make the call to 911 when i was done. love it. if you hate bulk you wont like it. overall one of the best cases i have ever bought.

I'm willing to accept the bulk on the basis that it will definitely protect my phone cause I've been scared of touching my poor phone ever since I scratched it today.
Love it, love it, love it. I grabbed mine for $30 off Amazon, and it was WELL worth it. Quality is definitely there. I usually use mine without it around the house, as it is rather bulky, but I wouldn't go to work without it. I truly feel like my phone is protected when I'm out and about now. And the holster is 100x better than the one that came with my Otterbox from my old iPhone 3GS.
Just a little update on how much i love this. i wont get a phone unless they will make a HC case for it. where i work is bad on phones. from dust to long drops.
I love this case, makes the phone feel huge but its ok cause our phones are huge anyways

Until you take the case off, then the phone feels tiny and sexy. I personally don't care how big the phone is, as long as I don't have to worry about dropping it.
I got it off amazon for about $30 as well. It kept going up a dollar every day so I was like I have to take the plunge soon before its at full price again. I can't wait to get it.
Well I have had mine about three weeks now, I broke the holster in the first week and a half, customer serv is sending me a replacement. I was reading a few people having issues with the prox sensor using this case then I noticed I was also, after cutting the plastic screen protector that covers the sensor off it is working perfectly now.
$50 is too much!
$30 on Amazon, bravo, $50 from Ballistic, a bit much. I like mine but have one major complaINT.... WHAT'S WITH THE CHEAP PLASTIC KICKSTAND? They should send everyone a better designed replacement, damn thing is like something out of a CrackerJacks box.
I agree with the stand comment, on another note I got my replacement holster and they sent me a new case because of the prox sensor problem.
i got mine in a few days ago off amazon for $27.... its very durable... probably gon sell it tho... its jus too bulk 4 me... they need to create a slim version.. lol

Without the optional rubber outer layer it's about the same size as the Cyclops. If that's too large for you then you probably will be much happier with something like the Otterbox Commuter.
I personally can't support Otter right now with their poor quality control though.
this is the one!
I just received mine today and all I can say is wow! I have been through so many cases that ended up being junk and I finally have something that delivers the goods!
1st Sprint Body Glove - cracked and broke after 1 week
2nd Zagg screen protection with naked phone. Began to peel after 2 weeks
3rd. Seideo Innocase Active limited edition - 1st one corner cracked and back peeled constantly
4th Second Seido Innocase Active - 2 corners cracked after very minor drop.
5th 5$ ebay rubber/ silicone case. Actually was ok but couldnt use charge port while it was connected.
6th and hopefully final case Ballistic HC! This one feels like a tank! I don't mind the bulk because this one will actually last. I bought it on ebay for $33 here. Don't screw around with other cases like I did (and waste so much $), just get this one and be done with it!
Mine is on the way. $25 off ebay. My seidio rugged really held up great but i just wanted something new ive had that seidio for months. Passed on otterbox for ballistic. Hope its as good as the seidio

This is MUCH better than Seidio. My Seidio is falling apart and unusable, the protection on the Ballistic seems to also be superior.

The design on the Seidio just doesn't make sense, I don't understand why they'd build the exoskeleton that way. Go Ballistic!
This is a great case! We have 4-5 users here that have that case and I borrowed one for a weekend. While I love the protection I just can't get over the bulk, so in the end I kept my Case-Mate Tough Case which has so far protected my phone vs my 2yo.
I have had the Ballistic case for about a week now, I think they made a great case! I have only the one complaint I think everyone does, what the heck were they thinking with the kickstand, it's useless! Though I don't really miss it that much, I wish it were there....
I guess this mostly apply to people who are planning to buy a thin case that doesn't provide anything more than scratch protection. I fall into this category and was planning to wait for Zagg to get a invisible shield product out, but as I was putting the battery in for the first time I realized...
why don't I just replace the plastic cover when it gets too scratched or when I want to sell the phone? I'm sure the genuine covers will start showing up on ebay soon enough.
Forgive me if this is a duh thing and has been generally dismissed... I came from an iPhone...
Thoughts?
There are rubberized back covers now on the internet, and they are, in my opinion alot better than a case because you keep that thin feeling and have a rubbery touch to it..

Find me a link I was looking on ebay and couldn't find one. Thanks
Here's what I found. Not ebay, but anyway.
Look on mobilecityonline dot com for product #27649 "Motorola Rugged Battery Cover"
I'm too new to post a link.
I'd do this, but I like a case that has a 1-2mm lip around the display. That way your screen stands a better chance of not cracking if it falls face-down or front edge down. I wish I could get a slider like the Seidio Innocase II I had for my N1. I'd dropped that a bunch of times and the phone doesn't have any scars for it. I have the Speck case for now, but I'll ditch it once something thinner like the Innocase shows up.
first company to release a soft touch back cover replacement with kickstand gets my money!

Best Skins Ever FTW
On every device I've owned I've always had a best skins ever. The texture and quality is better than any others I have tried. Every skin I've ever had covers every part of the phone and they have all lasted until I replaced the phone. Very durable. I've ordered mine for the Atrix and should have it shortly. I can post pics when I put it on but in the mean time here is a link and a couple examples of a bestskinsever on my Nexus.

I've never really been a big fan of skins.... be it ZAGG Invisible Shield or anything similar. They just feel odd to me. I actually purchased a cheap TPU case for my Atrix, and like it quite a lot.
As for PowerMat which someone mentioned, i sent them an e-mail about a week ago, and recieved the usual expected canned response... they don't have a battery door right now, but the PowerCube would work. Really do hope they make a battery door replacement.... might be worth getting.
Yeah, I would love an Atrix powermat backcover. I was going to buy a standard dock but maybe I'll wait for a bit.

Anyone know why these are being discontinued everywhere?...
Probably because they were never technically released by Motorola. If you read reviews of the ones that some people have gotten a hold of, even the overall feel of the cases seem to differ even depending on what color they picked.
It's not a bad cover....not great either. But it is the only one that will allow it to fit into the vehicle dock without modification. I ordered it from a place in Canada, it shipped from Hong Kong. Took about a month to get to me. The edges are kinda flimsy, especially around the usb/hdmi dock area. And the lip doesn't stay "lipped" around the edge of the display very well. I think I'll just go back to my OtterBox Impact. I spend less time taking it off and putting it back on, than I do with constantly adjusting the ruggedized cover.
Finally out more options soon to come to the website, but im definitely interested but i just want the case.

What a shame that its coming out now, about 2 weeks until the EVO is dead (to me anyways). As someone who sells cases, I have no idea what takes these companies ::cough:: otterbox ::cough:: so long to bring these products to market. Dummy phones are available months prior to release in most cases. Extended battery cases I can understand taking longer but almost a year? No. I would of bought one of these 6 months ago. If I order now it probably won't be here until I get the Evo 3D anyways.
edit: holy crap. think they are charging enough for this? considering the only part I need is the rear section (I have the front piece and silicone from my cyclops and a battery) no way would I spend that on this.

Yea +1 on the timing point. they are actually suppose to create an option to buy just the backing for those that purchased a cyclops. But question how is the silicon on the cyclops is it always coming off like some people say ?

I agree the timing stinks but I think this one is a better option than the powerskin. You can actually see the kickstand with this one.

Amen to this comment.
As an owner of the powerskin (VERY FLAWED DESIGN, read my review on this site) and this Trident case, the Trident so far is the winner.
I received the Trident (although to the wrong address than indicated) yesterday. I was luckily home to collect it. I put the cover/battery combination on the Evo and charged it up. I'm not sure how many recharge cycles it's meant to go through before it stays charged, but so far, after one night on the wall charger, it kept a charge for one subway trip from home to work (about 35 minutes) at about 90%. So, pretty much discharged 10% in 35 minutes. I think this may be due to the newness of the battery, however, I would have expected better from the size of the battery (purported) by the company.
I'll post a more thorough review after about a week of use.

I can't comment on the seidio thing, stopped buying their defective products years ago. I'd check the dimensions of this case against the dimensions of the seidio extended battery.
the case itself is a two-part clip on:
Back part is see through (got the icy version), clips on to the front part which has a screen protector already as part of the front.
The entire thing is wrapped in a separate rubber covering that you put on after snapping the case together. The thing itself feels very nice. I don't know about the battery life, will figure it out after a few days or week's use.
The bottom part has a flip-open cover for the battery cable and other inputs.
all the buttons are accessible because adding the plastic snap on makes everything a bit recessed, these guys thought of that as well. It is a nice touch.
All-in-all, the case is very strong. I'm not at all worried about the device dinging up.
If possible could anybody that gets one of these let us know if it will fit in any of the hip holsters? I have a holster that got with my innocase extended combo and I have another holster that came with one of the ebay cheapo specials.

okay that does sound goood i shall check it up against the specs. one more question i keep hearing ppl with the cyclops saying the the rubber ring that protects the sides of the cases comes off and on when pulling out of your pocket true or false ? and how much bulk does this case actually add from the pictures it looks kind of sliming. But, i personally cant trust pictures after the deception of the powerskin.
Once again, I think this case is a thinker version of the Cyclops which I have. Great case and VERY secure but not too pocket friendly. The stickiness of the silicone bumper makes it annoying to slide in and out of tight places. But in all honestly, this case is pretty freaking sweet. The upgraded screen protector is much nicer and I believe all the cases come with an extended audio jack since it is now recessed because of the case. If I were in the market I would definitely buy the Electra!
I have this one and the original. The rubber thing has never came off, in fact it is hard to take it off. The case is wonderful and only a tad bigger than its original. The battery is good as its been up over 60 hours and awake for 12 hours with no mods.
So Pre-Ordered Sprint GSIII,
Unlike some, I need some light protection, i never drop a phone but overall I am pretty rough.
Started looking for cases and I came across case-mate who i have gotten cases for in the past for my iPhone2G and EVO4G.

The Barely There Brushed Aluminum one caught my eye
I thought to myself should i pay $40 (absolutely overpriced mind you) or buy a $5-10 eBay Snap or TPU case. I decided **** it, if you got it--smoke it.
Got the case in presumably almost a week before i got the phone!
Do I think the money was well spent? No but Ill see when i get the phone. I can say the case is lighter than any case i've owned, and the real metal backing is a cool touch, hopefully it doesn't peel off
pics attached, decided to throw my old Evo and Photon into the photos to show just how big this phone is.
crap wont forum!
sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: Thanks for the move
att is gonna sell the EXACT same thing for 50% off, $20. 40 bucks for an accessory that prolly cost 3.00..
whiting for tough case
I bought a white, plastic Case mate barely there case for my white S3 last week. To be honest i'm not too keen on it and have been using the other cheap TPU case instead.
I find that the button openings and the curved sides of the phone and the glossy/slippery plastic of the case don't go too well together. It seems when I hold the phone and use either the power/unlock or volume buttons it feels like it's going to slip out of my hand.
I'm sure some people will like it but it's really not for me. Plus i've changed to the blue version and it doesn't match as nicely

I saw some like this before i bought mine, and the other snap on cases and TPU ones. they Look really thick,
Like i said, its probably not worth the money i spent ($11 vs $40 ... im pretty sure which way most people are going to go) but there is some quality in the build at least. I don't know how much i can stress how thin and light the barely there brushed aluminum is.
Could you please provide a link for that case?
Definitely interested in picking it up at that price!
EDIT. Tried quoting but failed.
Could someone post the link for the case mate at 50% off? Please and ty!

I wonder if it would reduce to the phone signal when you put it on.

only the flat back part is aluminum, the rest is a thin plastic material, its glued onn so I doubt it. Not sure why the ATT description says faux when im holding the case right now and there is a real aluminum backing on it.
but when i have both the phone and case ill find out. If it does affect the signal then that is money down the drain!

you think its real aluminum. LOL. its called brushed aluminum for a reason
Does NFC still work? That would be an absolute deal breaker for me. I live on NFC.
