Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Are you guys protecting your 3D?

I am not. I dont want to add any bulkyness to the phone at all.

I'm not. I went through a dozen EVOs. I just get TEP to replace them. They break from manufacturer defects more than my own doing.

I like this concept - trative?

I am going to the fabric store to make a cloth pouch with valcro on it and thats my protection on this phone. My wife is sewing it for me.

No protective screen for me or back bra.

Actually ZAGGskins are made of Polyurethane, same stuff as condoms ;)

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Nothing but the best here....using the otterbox defender series....not only does it come with a built in screen protector but the belt clip case can be use as an alternative to the kick stand....in my opinion $50 well worth it

I got the otterbox commuter bought some extra screen protectors and splurged on the car dock, next the regular dock if sprint ever gets it

Not me... Im using mine bare ass naked!

I think skins and screen protectors detract too mcuh from the look and form factor of the device.

i got the otterbox defender as well. I really like it so far. the build in screen protector takes nothing away IMO.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Thinkin about trying the Otterbox Defender about to go to Sprint in a few. but will probably only use it until the official HTC kick stand equipped one comes out. I really don't want a case at all... I made it nearly a year before I dropped my OG EVO cracked the screen and broke down and bought a case to preserve it for resale lol.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

One more for the Otterbox Defender...I'd like to have the kick stand one myself, but will probably be too lazy to pull off this bestial Otterbox on a regular basis. -e.

Otterbox Defender

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

I totally agreee with you here.

But I just have one small problem. I am just afraid of back camera lens cause its really flush.

I guess I will laid (really?) it on on the cloth pouch.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

I wasn't planning on getting anything but a pouch but I feel I'd be scratching the camera lens when I set it down. Shopped around and opted for the Otterbox Defender as well. I felt at first it might be to bulky and wouldn't fit in my pocket well if I chose not to use the clip but so far its hasn't.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

No, HTC took the design of this phone seriously. He is a post from Androidcentral that address this exact concern:
Camera lens cover - Official HTC response! - Android Forums

HTC, in response to a customer, tried to abuse the camera lense. They posted the results.

The defender works as a kickstand when in the clip.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

I am def protecting my Evo 3D! I originally bought the ridiculously expensive Otterbox Defender Case from BB. Big mistake! I got home and installed that hideous POS and it basically turned my phone from a sleek, thin smartphone to a big, bulky, clunky, misshapen, ugly contraption that can make calls. BB mobile reps are idiots because they sold me a nice Zagg anti-glare screen protector and the Otterbox comes with a built-in screen protector. I love Zagg and have use and self-installed four of them since I had my original Evo 4G.

The Otterbox wasn't something I could live with. I wanted the Pt Platium series case + holster that was originally being sold with the Evo 4G at launch day, but none were to be found. All BB had was endless Otterbox variants. I took my Otterbox Defender case back to BB, today, and low and behold they had a stock of Pt Platinum cases! The Platinum cases are extremely thin, yet, functional. I used nothing but that on my Evo 4G. Dropped my Evo on concrete and stairs and on marble floors and not a single scratch, using the Platinum case. Plus, it's so sleek and thin and doesn't deform the phone or make it look ugly. So, I promptly returned my Otterbox and my beautiful Platinum case is installed. I am happy.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Pt Platium series case + kickstand FTW!

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

I've been using the OG EVO HTC leather case...I went to a sprint store today to try the HTC leather case for the 3d, I actually prefer the OC EVO case. I bought the screen protectors, but not sure I'm gonna use one.

I use a couple bear traps to protect mine. Mrs. User keeps grabbing it to play angry birds.

3vo. That is all that needs be said.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

I opted for the Otterbox Defender PLUS the invsibileSHIELD with glare and smudge protection. Remember...if you use just the defender (or other case with a built-in protector) something can get up under it damage your screen. So far I have found nothing wrong with running both of these to protect my device. I, at first, noticed a slight difference when looking at the screen. But that was either because I was outside or the screen was still wet from the install. Inside, I haven't had any issues. However keep in mind that I got the SP that has more options and the other one looked clearer....but I have greasy hands and I don't want smudges rofl.

My only complaint about this case is that it does not come in blue/black...I am hoping that changes rofl. That and the case clips in quietly to the holster so I am worried about wether it is actually in there lol.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Haha, very nice. Just tried that out and you madam...are a genious! It might not be the most stable (spins a little but wont fall)...but it is at a perfect angle for me!

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Defender here too. I did get a TPU to get me through till I could get the Otterbox. Had both the commuter and defender with my Hero. Sold it yesterday with both plus a brand-new warranty replacement Defender they were kind enough to send me. Otterbox ftw!

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

I'm going to be switching to a Defender case tomorrow as well(I have it waiting for me at Best Buy). I currently have the Premiere case from Best Buy(aka Seidio) and while it's nice, I don't like the fact that there isn't any protection for the camera lens/area.

I'm not sure I'm gonna like the added bulk of the Defender case, but I like to where the pnoen on a belt clip and I'm pretty bump prone so the more protection, the better.

I already have a screen protector on so I will probably leave it and see how it works with the Defender case. The screen is so touch sensitive now, a little less sensitivity wouldn't be a bad thing.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

I used the Otterbox defender for a day or so, but am going to take it back. The phone's so large with the case and wearing it on a holster seems weird (used to just carrying phones in my pocket, so it may just be me). It seemed like it made the phone about twice as thick, though it is well protected and a nice case.

I'm opting for a tpu case mainly just to protect the camera lenses on the back and a screen protector. It keeps the thickness down and will save me $40 compared to the otterbox.

The cummuter series otterbox is really nice it doesn't feel too bulky and has a bit of a raised lip around the camera to keep it level and stops the camera from hitting the table I really like mine, just thought I'd share with those who arent liking the defender

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Yea, due to work I personally need the extra protection. However, I don't see getting my wife an Otterbox. She has a cheapy from amazon...however it seems she isn't happy with the color (black lol) so I'm gonna have to get her something more girly ](*,).

I did get her the same screenprotector as me though...that girl loves to grease up her fingers and rub all over her screen :angry7:.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

At this moment I am still thinking about it..Just take a look at this Case.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

I have that case too. I bought it for about $6 a few days before the phone came out, thinking the good cases wouldn't be out for a while. It's not a bad case but I don't like the shiny look and I need something with a belt clip.

It does cover the lens area(but not the glass on the lens) tho. The one thing I don't like about it is it covers the camera button and makes it kinda hard to A) press half way to auto focus and B) press it full way to take the picture.

I should see if that works with the belt clip on the Seidio.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Thanks for the quickest review in PPCGEEKS history lol

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Got the Defender Otterbox.

Love it.... except one minor point.

I don't mind the weight or bulkyness it kind of feels like the weight of a hand gun.

the problem is that the plastic casing surrounding the front part of the phone when making calls it jabs me in the ear... kind of sucks.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

After reviewing some of the posts here I gave in and returned my Otterbox Defender to Best Buy and got the Pt Convert 2 in 1. Really like it because I can use it with or without the rubber bumper to make it not much thicker than the phone. With the skin and skeleton I can use it the belt clip. And it works great since I dropped my 3D already in a parking lot. Not a scratch and still works great.

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

already got my first small nick in the otterbox screen protector.. not very happy about that. Its going to drive me insane until i end up taking it off the phone. :(

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

I have problem with smerge. I feel that by putting a screen protector on, you get more oily smerge that not having it.

Is this a true statement?

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Would you keep doing your screen protector until there is no lint underneath?

Did you take you 100 try ???

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

try doing it in a room with steem. like shower running, or do it in a room with an ionizer on, so there are no tiny particles floating everywhere..

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Yes, this method work 100% of the time and thats what I did before on my other phone. I am not doing any protection on my 3D.

Its hard to imagine doing this in the summer w the steam.

BTW, you know your cloth carry lint when you do this? You might want to get naked.

Loving my otterbox defender

Re: Are you protecting your 3D with case, protective screen, etc?
 

Otterbox Defender because I need the protection while @ work.

I dropped my E4G twice, in a row (dropped it, went to put in back in the clip and dropped it again), with the OBD on and swore I will never buy another case. OBD FTW!
