i received the gray accented case on tuesday. its really nice and fits the evo well. the kick stand is plastic and it seems its designed to be removed. i did a video and as i pulled out the kickstand, it flew off.. didnt break, just separated from the case. i dont have the defender but the ballistic cases' kickstand is fragile. thats the only weak thing about it. it does hold up the phone nicely in all of the padding/protection! i think most of you case fans will love it.
