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:

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.

Blurex slim case

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.

Is it available on ebay??

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?
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App

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.

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.

Whats D Nexus⁴ Case Ure Using? Plan To Get Nicer Ones :D

Lets discuss on the casings for Nexus⁴ attactive(Cool Design) ones and protective(Flip Cases) ones! Please do provide names or links or pictures for it
Nexus⁴ is indeed a hot device, its worth my waiting like a drug addict everyday bugging my gmail for the shipping notification.
there r few cases about the glass at the back experiencing minor cracks,
so i think its better to protect it even though it looks gorgeous without casing and so hard to get a new one
i already had this Nillkin Flip Case at Tmall on standby, bought it from china's "amazon", tmall.com, their original factory's online store
Then i saw Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 TPU Case For Nexus⁴(Teal) attracted by its Android design,
while scrolling around i saw another nice oneXdadevelopers's CASE for Nexus⁴, also by Cruzerlite.
Both are looking cool, but before i buy them i wanna know if there are other casings with Cool Designs out there? Since i chose Cruzerlite because of its designs. I want my phone to look nice even with cases on.
I also need Flip Cases (Book Style)(prefer leather ones, because Nillkin's surface didnt convice me and it gets dirty easily those who had Nillkin flip case will know about this) and as what you all know, Flip Cases for Nexus 4 is extremely hard to find
what i want is 1 Cool Looking, and 1 Flip Case(Book Style) , both are hard to find,
other casings like diztronics' simple design or other cases that i found in this forum board even though they may give protection to device but their design didnt appeal to me(not to insult)
thats why i wanna find out if there are better ones, those who knows of Cool Looking, and Flip Case please do tell me about it, simple user review if possible :highfive:

I too have the xda case on order even though I have a set up I am currently satisfied with. I have now, the Diztronic Ultra hard thin that doesn't cover the top or bottom of the phone like the Diztronic TPU does. It works for me because I can now use the Seidio Surface spring holster made for the GNEX without much of an issue. The thiness of the shell works for me but not for all, so you'll need to decide what you are comfortable with.
According to your list, you are looking at tpu all the way. For the choices listed, which I have most of them except for the Cruzerlite models, I would go for the Diztronic tpu. It's pretty darn thin and the only negative is that the logo on the tpu is a bit glossy for my taste, but you get used to it . Happy shopping!

urm not necessarily tpu, im looking towards more good appearance cases thats what cruzerlite design attracted me
my plan is to use 1 nice looking flipcase for full protection, and another nice looking which only covers back :laugh: as long as its looking good even when not naked :highfive:

I love my poetic bumper, I had an sline tpu case and it was ok but the power button became increasingly difficult to press.

I got the Poetic case when it was for under $4 and I absolutely love it! I am wallet-free as of now, since all I carry is the phone and the case which holds 3 cards and cash. It takes time for the leather to stretch and accomodate 3 cards, but now its the best thing I bought, well, after my N4 lol
The only downer is its a pain to use this case by just one hand, and taking a picture without the aid of the other hand is next to impossible.
So I've ordered the amCase(TM) Slim fit case for Google Nexus 4 -Matte Black for under $3 including shipping. Should be here tomorrow/Tuesday, so will update my post.
Cheers!

btw, the case was using magnetic clips right?
saw about this one and plan to buy it, but its at china website... :S almost the same like poetic ,without the place to hold cards... http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.80.gPYjN8&id=18281667386
btw with the bumper shortage on google website i bought shenit bumper case for nexus 4, on amazon
so now i have nillkin bookstyle flip case, cruzerlite androidified tpu case, shenit bumper case, plan to buy http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.80.gPYjN8&id=18281667386 to replace the nillkin flipcase, dont quite like its serface

Is the google bumper worth the £16?

Is it worth the £16 in the uk? looks like just a bit of plastic to me, or is it more?
what cases do you guys recommend, i loved the casemate i had on my s2 had shockproof without to thick + had indents so phone screen didnt touch the table ect

To be honest? Not at all. But its a luxury item I suppose. If you got the extra cash, then its a good buy.
Sent from my Nexus 4

I have the official bumper on my N4 and it's quite nice. Buttons are nice and clicky and ports are all easily accessible. It's just a piece of rubber(?) with silver-colored plastic around the border, I think, but it's very attractive in design and fits the phone perfectly. Just be careful when you're putting it on if your N4 has front and back screen protectors. It has a habit of lifting the corners of my screen protector if I'm not paying attention while putting it on. It's a very minimalist case, obviously, but it's just thick enough to keep the screen/camera lens from touching anything, should you rest the phone on a flat surface.
I haven't dropped my phone to know whether it will keep it safe or not, but it's probably on part with any other slim/minimalist case.

It's more like £22 after you include postage.
I wouldn't mind so much but I didn't like the bumper at all. It made the phone too big and uncomfortable to hold.

Its cheaper and its an exact replica it also has free shipping.

I personally didn't like the bumper. It's a very nice looking bumper but I hated the bulky feel of it. If it was much slimer it would have been my favorite case.

I've some bad news for you about the poetic bumper. It will come apart at the seems within a month. The glue between the rubber and the plastic began to separate after a week of handling. After 3 it was completely loose 90 percent of the way around. That's what you get for saving a little money.

You get a free replacement. Jesus.. people making a big deal out of nothing.
They send u free replacement, no questions asked. The company is at a loss replacing bumpers. Give them some respect for at least trying to make it right by having good customer support.

IMO, nothing special
I ordered one of the bumper cases and got it way back in December, and personally I didn't think it was anything special (in fact, I vastly preferred the feel of the phone without it, as the bumper rises slightly above the edge of the screen so you can no longer feel the angled glass around the sides of the phone).
So I auctioned it on eBay and someone bought it for just over £50, so I can't exactly complain

Wow! Do you not know how to read? It was stated that the new ones are improved/revised. It's a simple adhesive issue, I emailed the seller and he replied that all the units being shipped are the new ones without any issues
You're acting as if a bad transmission was designed for a new car and there are already thousands and thousands sold. It's not rocket science to fix the adhesive issue.
And for me, it's not about saving "a few dollars", I'd prefer the Google one accept I recently moved to Canada and my American credit cards don't work with buying anything at the Canadian Play Store (other than apps). My gf ordered the N4 for me as my birthday gift. As it's already a very pricey gift, I didn't want her spending any more so I told her not to buy the bumper.

the bumper doesn't make the phone much thicker. That isn't the issue. The issue is how wide the phone feels with the bumper on. It definitely is not a slim bumper in comparison to poetic's.

That's why it's called a bumper, bumper is for bumping meaning protection on impact. The thicker the better the protection, the slimmer the lesser of protection, simple like that, so stop whining and complaining if you do not understand the meaning of the words. Plus people with bigger hands will feel it comfortable and ppl with small hands most probably wouldn't like it, but that's all personal, as far as quality is concern that's the best offer on the market today regarding BUMPERS.

There's a post in the other thread that the so called "solution" did not always fix the problem, and frankly I find it hard to believe it's just about the glue. There's just not enough contact area between the rubber and the hard plastic. It's a design issue.
As for the free replacement. it's still annoying having to get one in the first place. Don't they test drive their own products?

That's why it's called a bumper, bumper is for bumping meaning protection on impact. The thicker the better the protection, the slimmer the lesser of protection, simple like that, so stop whining and complaining if you do not understand the meaning of the words. Plus people with bigger hands will feel it comfortable and ppl with small hands most probably wouldn't like it, but that's all personal, as far as quality is concern that's the best offer on the market today regarding BUMPERS.

Exactly like you said, everyone has different opinion upon the thickness of the bumper. We are all just chipping in our own views.

"Triple Armor Hybrid Case" Opinions? (Ballistic SG Knock Off?)

So I was surfing on ebay for a rugged case for my n4
I ran by this...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Triple-Armo...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item5d43674502
It seems like a ballistic sg knock off but at a lower price
comes with screen protectors too if that matters for anyone...
Does ANYONE have any experience with this case? If so, please let us know!
Otherwise I'm going to order a Ballistic SG this week.....

I would order that ebay one instead of the SG.
I had the SG and it wasn't worth the money. The problem with it is that the silicone isn't a perfect fit so the nexus 4 slides up and down a bit. The plastic piece that goes over the inner silicone cover occasionally comes undone a bit (it's hard to describe exactly) which leads to more sliding of the nexus. The plastic piece doesn't stay on as well as I'd hoped because the silicon is too soft to let it really clamp on well.
That ebay one is much cheaper and appears to be basically the same.
The case I have now and would really recommend is the mybatt. In addition to a back plastic clamp on piece, it also has a front screen side snap on piece so its inner silicon layer is sandwiched securely. I haven't had any sliding issues like I did with the Ballistic. Here's a review someone did on the mybatt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120148
It does come in a couple different colors. I have the all black one because I thought the white might get stained with dirt.

Thanks for your opinion!
I went ahead and bought it on Amazon through a third party for almost $6! (CHEAP price IMO) Ebay had it for 9 bucks :victory:
I read some reviews of it. It seems like people had a mix problem with the sensor cut out. Do you have any problems of your own or any cons you want to bring up?

I personally didn't have that problem. It seems to have mainly been on the first few versions of it that came out. People didn't mention that issue as much after it had been out for awhile. I just got mine about a month and it's been fine.

just to follow up with this post...
My case doesn't have this problem either so if anyone is interested in getting the Mybat Tuff Case & doesn't mind the bulk. I highly recommend it!:good:

My ballistic case fits perfectly without problem but hey that one is cheaper

I have the Ballistic case and it fits good. Mine doesnt slide around in the rubber part and Ive never had the plastic cover fall off.
I do wish Gumdrop made a N4 case though.
