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:

Case-Mate Tough Case. Purchased from the Case Mate website it just became available. Been using this case on my iPhone 4G and I love it, best case out there for protection.

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.
Just scored this case from Amazon - only $30usd - quite well made and really fits our tablets well. Does not block either camera or light sensor - and my mic seems to be working fine with the tablet in the case.
Amazon link to product: http://tinyurl.com/5vrjxl2
i second this case. Since I have bought it I have been more than happy with its quality and functionality. I also have had people remark about it, and exclaim when they realized they payed more for a lower quality case.
Is this case available on ebay??....

I'm also going to say, having just got my roocase today and having returned one of the official Acer cases, this case is great. It's pretty bulky, but it's a good kind of bulk, and it feels extremely sturdy. I wish it could lay flatter but at an angle.. as it is, it'll go to about forty degrees from flat, and thirty would've been better, but it's still way better than the official case unless you really want something lightweight, which I do have to give that one to Acer.

I can't figure out if this is different from the rooCase "Slim Fit".
I don't like the typical bulk of the full folio-style cases, I'm wondering if the "Slim Fit" case (or the Blurex, as they look almost identical) is a nice middle ground, as the Acer case has not been received well for its durability/life expectancy (and smell/fuzz collection attributes).
Do any of these cases ship to india??

I recently purchased the RooCase from Amazon, and after about a week of use I'm still extremely pleased with it.
I posted a review on Amazon about it.
I looked at a few other cases, but this one is really great quality of materials and construction and is very well designed.
It does add a little bulk, but as stated it s the good kind of bulk that tells you you don't have to guard your tablet now.
How about this one:www dhgate com/pv-ff80808130ff1696013107bbfd385168.html
Any one used it and can post a review?
Sorry i'm a new here
Why not a slim fit case?
Sllim fit case for my Iconia...
Probably because we didn't want the slim fit case? (Thought it is also nice)
(There is a thread for that one, BTW.)
After carrying mine around for a while I'm still extremely pleased with it.
This thing is a winner.
Just got this case yesterday and all I can say so far is that I love it. Secure, great quality and very practical. Highly recommended.
Hey I just ordered the Blurex slim case off of amazon this past weekend and just received it yesterday. All I can say is this is exactly what I'he been waiting for. All ports/slots are accessible and very secure and slim fit. This is my second case. I originally bought the Targuss case and found it too bulky. Check it out you won't be disappointed. I would post a link, but because this is only my third posting, I am not allowed.
You mean this one I think: http://www.amazon.com/BLUREX-Leathe...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1311197031&sr=1-1
Looks to be exactly what I would want from a case, but can't find it anywhere in the EU region as always
Yes that's it. And I got it for $ 19.99 us currency. $25 shipped to my door.
Wow, they brought the price up already. I just got it for 33.00 out the door. It looks like what I have been looking for. In the review, besides the slimness, the reviewer mentioned folding the cover back and holding the Acer like a book. That was my only complaint over the roocase I have now. If this cover is what i hope it to be, I will be returning the roocase.

You can flip it vertically like a book.
So I like this case and proceeded to checkout and they tell me that the item won't ship to Canada !!
Bought stuff from there ( amazon.com ) before and shipped no problem...which tells me that this item might be ship from somewhere else with Canada being one of the restriction.
Just confirming that this is the one:
http://amzn.to/qsUhDq -- BLUREX Leather Slim folio Case With Multi-Angle Stand for ACER ICONIA TAB A500
And yes, it's just as amazing as described.
It feels really solid, looks gorgeous and very professional. It's exactly the type of case I was looking for.
The inside felt is very nice. All ports/mic/camera is accessible.
Please let me know if you'd like photos of anything specific on the case.

Does it ship to india??...if yes can you tell me the shipping charges.....
P.S. never bought anything from amazon so not registered there.....if anyone could help me out?

As far as I can tell it does not ship outside of the U.S. Big shame because this looks like the best case so far =/
To the folks who have it, when you flip the cover all the way back to "hold it like a book" as the reviewer in Amazon states, it probably covers the speakers right? How well can you hear thru it when it is put in that position?
Thanks!
Can anyone from us buy one for me and then ship it to india??

Quick question. I got this case a couple of days ago. I really like how its shaped. It conforms to the curves of the tablet exactly. All the ports are accessible including the SD card port. I have two issues though and tell me if you agree. Since I saw the post and pictures of the guy who dropped his and got it smashed up, this case doesn't protect the corners very well from a drop if the case falls and lands on the corners. Also the tab that clips on to the tablet to close the case doesn't wrap around the bevel of the case completely. It keeps the case closed, but it looks like it barely is. Im wondering if this where loosen over time and use. Other than that, I really like the case. Especially the quality of build and how thin it is. Check out the pictures and you can see what I mean about the corners.

Place a thick foam band on the sides....stick it to one flap on the side so you have no problem opening it....

Just received this case today for my wifes tab. Overall it is a very nice case, with great build quality. It is thin, with a low profile unlike the Targus leather case sold at BB. My only complaint is that in order to position the screen into one of the viewing angles, the tab must be pushed out of the bottom tab holders. It's not a big deal, but I did find myself fumbling with it slightly.

I just got mine today and yes, holding it in that position would cover the speakers. If you can imagine holding a thick piece of leather over the speaker, that's how it would sound.
If that doesn't bother you then I highly recommend this case. I've owned the Acer one and I have a gtablet with a cover and this one is hands down better than those and others I have seen so far. The case is very snug. As a matter of fact I had difficulty putting it on as well as taking it off. I can't imagine mt tab ever falling out of it accidently even though the tabs that hold it in are so small.
It's also very slim profile. Doesn't add much bulk to the tablet. Also, if this is fake leather, they've done a pretty good job as I can't tell.

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.

So i received my Galaxy s4 from UScellular... with the S-Cover case. Personaly i hate that damn case. Fiber on inside gets dirty real easily. And ya flip it back and it covers the camera... Try taking several pictures with that case.. it'll piss ya off. Anyway.. im just wondering what cases anyone has bought.. Ive always bought otter boxes for my previous phones.. Nice but doing the work i do.. I gotta tear em apart every week and clean the inside of my built in screen protector. After about 6 months it broke.. the GS4 has gorilla glass3.. Last phone had first version. Peaking of last phone.. after the otter box broke i tore it off as well with screen protector and wearing it a year.. NO scratches what so ever.. So i decided on a nice looking.. yet ruged case... I came across the I-Blason Prime
Loved the way it looked and had great reviews.. and pretty darn cheap as well. Has anyone tried this case yet? What other cases are good for the s4? My requirements are a decent rim around the outside to keep screen away from surface.. same with camera.. other than that i could care less
