EVO Case Discussion - Best, Thinnest, Toughest, etc

I'm in the market for a new case since the $3 one I bought on Ebay is starting to peel finish. I'm looking for the thinnest, slickest case out there.
What case are you using?
Do you like it?
How much was it?
Where did you buy it?
Pictures?
THX!

well i would like to know this as well.
However i can enlighten you on how horrible the body glove case from sprint is. it looked great and was loving the feel until after a week, pulled it out of my pocket to find the case was broke where the volume rocker is. needless to say it looked and felt good but all in all i do NOT recommend it to anyone.

Mine did exactly the same thing, lasted about two weeks.
Funny, I ordered one of the $3.00 ones off of Ebay to replace it.

Actually I got mine on Amazon... forgot. This is the case I bought and while it is pretty thin and fits well, the paint job is totally shotty and now looks horrible:

I bought the white and chrome case from Sprint when I got the phone. I have had my phone since the release day for the EVO and the case still looks brand new. I really like the leather feel, and the chrome accents add to the overall beauty of the phone. I would recommend the case to anyone!

A guy I work with bought this one on Ebay about 2 weeks ago and says he's still happy with it:

That Seido case looks bulky no? I'm looking for something that doesn't add to the already large footprint of this thing in my pocket.

How about the Otterbox cases.. anyone have experience with them on other devices (not out yet for the evo)

My buddy has a well-worn one on his iPhone that has been through hell and still looks good.

i have the body glove universal holder from radio shack which works for me. however, i am looking at getting the Seidio Innocase holster case combo... which is a steal on amazon as the case itself is $30 at sprint and the combo is $30 on amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innoca..._1_4?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1282702286&sr=8-4
i already tried the case and its nice and fits inside the body glove holder too, snuggley like pigs in a blanket at ihop.

Shouldn't this be in the Accessories forum?
(Black TPU case FTW.)

Yep... should be in accessories thread... my bad.
Are the otterbox cases thin though... I'm really looking for the thinnest case out there.

I always just wait for some YouTube reviews to pop up, shows me are how big the case is in real life. (Or as real as I care to get.)

Looking at the impact series case it doesn't look to be too bad. I really like the looks of the bottom two cases, so I signed up to be notified when they come out. I had the Sprint Body Glove case, had since release actually, but the volume rocker area just cracked last week. Lasted longer then most I suppose.

I've got the Seidio Innocase holder IceCreaMan linked to and it has been nice. It's got a nice texture, doesn't slide easily, isn't bulky, has a belt clip, and with the case on, it makes it so the camera doesn't stick out. It doesn't cover anything either so you still have your speakers, cameras, microphones, plugs, etc. Would definitely recommend it.

the Innocase II is a proven design in my opinion
its thin, and can take a drop (ive dropped mine from 8ft + onto concrete without any cracks in the case/damage to the phone)

I got a couple cheap cases from ebay; they're the clamshell design that has a front & back the snap together. They all felt too big and bulky though, so I got a Talon to replace 'em. Love it. Just snaps onto the back of the phone and protects the corners from drops and the camera from scratches when laying the phone on it's back. I have an InvisibleShield on the front to protect the touch screen from scratches.
The talon is almost like not having a case at all -- doesn't add much bulk to the phone.
And it's only 10 bucks.

Got my case today, I was a little worried because two days after I purchased it Ebay pulled all of the sellers listings and sent me a notice saying I could file a claim to get my money back. Since the seller had good feedback, and he had notified me that it had been shipped (from China), I decided to wait and see if it would show up, which it did.
I really like it, much better fit and quality than the Sprint body glove I had on my phone before. Time will tell if it lasts, but I have to say for $3.00, I am pretty impressed. It has a soft feel that gives a more secure feeling grip than the body glove, plus it is slightly thinner, but still protects the camera lens. Plus it is red, love the color.
Wish I could give a link to the one I got, the seller has put some of his cases back up, but no Evo cases yet.
Here is a link to a red rubberized hard case that looks very similar to the one I got.

TPD Gear Black Executive Case [updated with pictures!]

http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Executive...I&otn=2&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=787021242547809834
I just ordered one of these on ebay from TPD Gear. It should come in a couple days and I'll post a review. This one looks promising, if its similar to the Senyx one I bought but with clips instead of straps.
Here's my quick and dirty review and some photos (see posts 9 and 10):

Actually looks like a good economical option. Do chime in when you get yours.
Does anyone else have one of these???

i was looking into this one as well. looking forward to the review

Mine should be here shortly:

Okay, I fess up. I got tired of the slippage issue with the official Acer case. I can literally with a few gentle shakes get my A500 free of the case now. Therefore I ordered the TPD case. It looks like it will be the least bulky of the choices.
But I still state my version of the dream case would be the union of thinness of the Acer to the lock tab tray of the TPD.

+1 exactly, let us know how you like it....

tracking says i'll get it tomorrow. i'll try to get some pictures of it tomorrow evening PST after my softball game.

I just ordered one of these today also. Can't wait to check it out. From the pics it looks like the best one to come out

You'd better hurry. My tracking says tomorrow, Thursday, and I'm posting if no one beats me to it.

First set of photos.
So I just got the case tonight, so this is more or less a first impression of it.
First thing I noticed is that its bulkier than my Senyx folio case, but a little more compact. It's actually really close to the dimensions of the A500, so there's not a lot of edge margin along the perimeter of the case and the tablet itself, as there is on the other case. That said, if you look at my second set of photos on the next post, you'll see that with the tablet in the Senyx case, its really close the same thickness as the TPD case.
The material looks good, and has very little odor, which I imagine will go away like it did on my other case. The stand function is quite functional and very well designed, as it doesnt fold in on itself like other cases do, so structurally the case doesnt really bend too easily. The one gripe I can forsee is that the slots that hold the tablet when in stand mode may slip over time, but we'll see.
An elastic band binds the case together when its being transported, as you can see in the second set of photos. This works well enough, and keeps the profile very flat.
Now, on to the main reason I bought this -- the clips that hold the Tablet in. I really do not like the pouch-design that the other cases use because the tablet can slip fairly easily in it. The Senyx case uses straps along the corners and I've noticed that these straps have stretched already in the 2.5 weeks I've used it so it also does slip sometimes. These clips work wonderfully. They feel like they have some rubber material coated on them so it would help alleviate scratching to the tablet, but it was a bit difficult to put on at first and to take off. I think you are suppose to slide it in from the bottom.
The clips DO block the SD slot slightly!!!! It's just a tad too long, and it blocks the very end of the port making it, so far, not able to open while attached to the clips.
As far as weight goes, its a little bulkier as I mentioned because of an added layer which acts as the rear leg in kickstand mode, and this adds roughly 0.40 lbs when compared to the Senyx case. Both of these are heavier than the Acer OEM case.
--added one more thing-- I just noticed that in kickstand mode, there's speaker cutouts hidden under the kickstand in folio mode. Pretty awesome
OK -- sorry this was quick and dirty.
So far so good though!

second set of photos -- the last couple are the Senyx folio case. Also a nice pick.

Looks nice, but also looks like it adds a fair bit of bulk, thought not as much as the Targus model.
The Acer case isn't perfect, but is low impact on the foot print.
Your thoughts?

I just wrote a quick write-up on it in post 9.
I had the Acer case and I hated it. It's very slim, but I couldnt stand it as I felt it degraded the overall look and quality of my tablet. This case is definitely a lot bulkier then the Acer case and the Senyx case. I like the clips though -- The Senyx case with clips would be ideal for me, since I do not care for the kickstand function as much -- I have the Arkon stand already.

Im more interested if you took these pics and did this write-up while "breaking bread with the porcelin god".

lol. it was the brightest area i could find to take pics quickly near my room.

didnt even notice the toilet....haha. thanks for the w/u and pics.
this case its tops on my list so far....

Got my TPD case today. It has very good contruction quality. It looks great and in the scope of its design it works very well as intended.
Since the components are all synthetic materials, it has an odor to it when brand new. That was easily dealt with, though, by a healthy dose of fabric freshener.
I love the plastic holder tray that is sewn into the case. It holds the device in place with a snap (pun intended) of authority and allows a nice view of the shiny toy it cradles so well. As mentioned in previous comments, the top bracket tab overlaps the SD card slot door. However, I don't see that as a show stopper. Unless you are using multiple SD cards to manage media, you won't need to bother with it much. I feel that if needed, the tab could be modified without any real impact to it's retention ability.
Other than that matter, the holder tray allows full access to all other ports and switches with no troubles.
I am not enamored of the extra bulk the case adds. But practically every case of this type has that issue to one degree or another. The Iconia already has significant thickness and this case adds to that in full measure. I'll take a few days with the case to see if I can live with it.
The case also makes the Iconia less comfortable to hold in portrait, at least to me. I do use it in portrait quite a bit, almost as much as landscape, but I'm willing to admit my use scenario is different from others. After all, all these tablets are designed primarily for landscape, so there you go. In landscape, especially when using it in easel mode, it is terrific.
In summary, it may not be perfect, but it is a very good option if you are looking for an executive folio type case that is also a landscape easel stand.

So I tried the TPD for a few days. Its good, but the bulk and added weight was too much for me. I suspect the same for the Targus model. I'm back to the Acer case with some 3M Command double sided stickies to keep it in place.

Here's the update.

Anybody think like me, that by the time we have all bought multiple cases to try them out, and then discard them because they have a fault or two, we could have just stumped up the shocking price of the pdair case and had done with it

lol ya. i was able to return the acer case at least. but i do have two cases now. luckily my co-worker might be getting one of these tablets so i might sell it to him for a reduced price.
the TPD case is a bit heavy, but im starting to like it alot. there are times when i take the tablet out of the case when im going to be holding it for long periods of time, but it works great on the table or on my lap.

just got in my case today.... It is a little bulky, but exactly what i was looking for

[Q] Does anyone have the leather pouch?

I love the look of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and I take good care of my stuff so I don;t really need a think and bulky case. I saw the leather pouch on their webite, and thought it was perfect, since I just need something to protect it from bumps and scratches while carrying it.
Has anyone seen this, used it, had a hands-on with it? Does anyone own it?
Are there cheaper 3rd party ones?
Edit: This forum will not let me link to the pouch, but it is $29.99.

I had the book cover case on order but I ended up canceling it. I found a belkin case at best buy for $45 its thin doesnt add much bulk at all and it it folds into a stand. I just wanted something thin and easy to protect the screen. I'm not worried about dropping it.
I dont have the name or model number I left the box on my desk at work. I'll update later with the info. I couldnt find it on the belkin website or besbuy.
Funny thing the best buy employees didnt even know they had it when I went in last friday.

I bought the leather one that was right next to that one and I do not think it adds a lot of bulk to it but it def protects it and thats what is most important to me.

Yep, I'm with you, I didn't want anything too bulky with so many flaps, etc.
I'm glad I bought the pouch. It's perfect and it's a tight fit. Just to test how tight it is, I held it upside down with the opening side down and the Tab didn't slide out at all.

I got the pouch, it was free since I was one of the first 200 at the launch on the 8th. I use it daily but I will be swapping it most likely for the book case by samsung when I can get it a bit easier.......I have a belkin leather one that is still unopened lol idk it seems a bit bulky

I have the Belkin folio stand. I only bought it because of convenience. My cat nearly jumped on to my tablet while it was laying on the couch, so I wanted something to protect it (and the Samsung case isn't available yet).
The fit is very snug, and it folds up to various viewing angles. It has a nice elastic strap that can be pulled around to hold it shut.
It is a _little_ bulky. The selling point on this tablet is the weight and thickness. That being said, the case weighs almost as much as the tablet. So, don't get it if weight is important to you.
Overall it's pretty nice. Probably a bit overpriced. When people want to play with the tab though, I always take it out of the case. It's so much prettier without it .

The Samsung Book Cover case just shipped and should be here by week's end. I'll keep you posted on it. Personally, I don't like anything that I have to keep pulling it out and pushing it in. I feel it's a matter of time before a scratch occurs.

Please do, I have belkin one and just don't love it. The Samsung one is back ordered again, and would like your impressions on it.

Thanks for information on the cases, but I don't want a case anymore. I'd rather have a nice pouch or neoprene sleeve that will protect it from scuffs of traveling.
The thing is I don't want to spend $30 for a sleeve. I just want a nice sleeve that I can carry the Tab in, without breaking the bank. It doesn't have to be an "official" sleeve, as long as it fits, I don't care.

yea I agree with your statement especially since I use the keyboard and media dock. they wont fit with any case what so ever.......I even tried to take the docking station part off again like the directions say to make more room but was still unable to do so lol

I have the suede pouch from sfbags.co
Originally for the replaced Xoom, it is a tight fit but works great.
They have a great service.

Since the Tab is longer than the XOOM, does it pop out more? How durable is the sleeve?

Check out my A500 case from Ebay (for European Buyers)-with pictures!

Hi
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150621849701#ht_2626wt_905
I just ordered one of these on ebay, and i am here to show some pics of it in order to help some people to clarify some doubts, like those i had before.
When i say it's for european buyers, it's because i got it from ebay from germany and so the costs are less expensive if you buy it from the states (i'm from Portugal)
The material looks very good, although it's not real leather. The stand function is very functional and very well designed. It adds a fair bit of bulk, but i can live with it (i prefer security over style)
The main reason for this choise are those clips that holds the tablet in place, and allows a nice view of the toy so well and shiny, better than the other cases with the labels that can easily come in front of your screen after some time of use.
You can use the case as a horizontal stand, and also hold it as a book...
When closed there is a elastic grip to keep the case closed and also necessary for the tablet not to slip away from the case. In fact this is the only fault i notest with this case, it has only 5 plastic clips on three sides of the case instead of all 4 sides, so the tablet slides into the case through the right side where there are no clips and it can slip away if you hold the case in vertical mode with this side down. Not an issue untill know, but it can be if the owner forgot this and dont use the elastic wrist to keep it safe...
So, i just have the case i was expecting and know i just feel saver with it carrying it around the house.
Now the pics:
P.S. If you have some questions please feel free to leave it here.

More pics...

this one looks really nice
Is there somewhere i can order it without having to pay with a paypal account

got one that looks similar on amazon. only difference is its got openings for the speakers and its cheaper for $30. i've posted pics of it on Amazon...can't post link here coz i'm new

I know this case.
On my review i didn´t mention but this case has 2 openings for speakers which are lifted when you put the tablet in the standing mode, when it is closed it´s protected from the dust...so i guess this is a better idea.

Looks just like my case from Amazon too! Got mine for like 15 shipped 2day. It works great except that the tabs get weak after time.

But i'd like to get a slim-fit case,Just like a clip.

what is this?
what is this?

Just minor questions.

Okay so I just need to iron out a few details, so if someone could help me that'd be great. The thing is, I live in India and my friend is going to the US and I'm asking him to pick up the phone for me from my cousin's house. But he's quite... dumb, so I want to clear out as much as I can from here.
1 - How long does RMA take these days? I know it used to take a few weeks when the demand was much higher but now I don't really know.
2 - Suppose my cousin's not at home when the delivery guy comes, will he have to contact the company to get the guy to come deliver it again?
3 - I'm going to ask my cousin to use the phone for a few days to check out if it's perfectly fine. What should I ask him to look out for?
Accessory questions :
1 - I'm thinking of using XtremeGuard full body protector + Diztronic black matte TPU case. Do these go well? Are there any better alternatives in this price range? My main priority is protection, aesthetics are secondary. I drop my phone a lot!
2 - I also want cheap, cheap ear buds. Are these my best bet? http://www.amazon.com/Maxell-190336-Crystal-Buds-Black/dp/B0027P9BN8/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Thanks!

1) There is no way to know how long it will take. It ships when it ships. It's any ones guess...
2) When it does ship, your account will receive an email from Google with a UPS tracking URL. Expect it will take 2 days, but check the URL each day, and when it's states it's "out for delivery", they will come between 09:00 and 18:00 local time. Here in NYC, they ring the bell once and only give you 15 seconds to get to them, then leave. They will try once more the next day, then it's off for an adventure to the UPS warehouse to hunt down the package.
3) Lots of existing threads on the common complaints (defects) users have had.

I almost bought the Diztronic but chose the ArmorBox instead. Very happy I did.
The ArmorBox fits perfectly, gives me a good grip on the phone, has a kickstand for watching videos, and most importantly........... protects the phone well.
It's only has 3 stars on Amazon because the early models didn't fit properly. Recent reviews are very positive.

I've checked it out. Do you really like it? I'm sorry but it looks quite ugly :/
Diztronic fits perfectly as well. Don't need the kickstand.
I wish there were youtube videos about drop tests performed with different cases. Link me if there are any, I can't find them.

I use a Diztronic case and it fits well and I like the feel of it. However Acase came out with a case for the N4 which I just ordered as I have one on my galaxy S3 and love it. It is dual layer case so better protection, here is the link to it http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acase-Super...412085?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4852c6e635

Whoa! I like that case! Looks just as good as the Diztronic, plus provides dual layer protection. (I'm not sure whether dual layer is better than just a single layer of TPU, though) The reviews seem fantastic as well. This has just jumped up my preferred list.
Thanks! BTW, which screen protector are you using on your S3? Is the case peeling it off?

I don't think anybody does drop test videos with cases.
As for the ArmorBox being ugly, that's a matter of opinion.
Every other case has reviews complaining about slickness but not the ArmorBox. To each their own.
Edit: just reread the Acase reviews at amazon. Even buyers who give it 5 stars mention it's slippery.
Good luck with that.

I don't think anybody does drop test videos with cases.
As for the ArmorBox being ugly, that's a matter of opinion.
Every other case has reviews complaining about slickness but not the ArmorBox. To each their own.
Edit: just reread the Acase reviews at amazon. Even buyers who give it 5 stars mention it's slippery.
Good luck with that.

Yup I guess it is a matter of opinion about the looks.
And yeah, I was sad that Acase is slippery. So what I was thinking was that since it's a dual layer case (where the hard case covers the tpu) I'll remove the outer layer (the hard case) when I'm setting it on an uneven surface. I think it might not slip if the tpu is in contact with the surface.
Thanks for your reply!
