Evo cases
 
So, are you looking for a case for your new HTC EVO when it comes out? Well, I've came across some good websites. Any comments, and suggestions are welcome.

yeah, I hear ya.. good website btw. I'm sure they'll come out with some cool accessories as soon as they release the EVO. I just don't want to go home from the sprint store without my phone being protected. I'm waiting patiently!

Seidio makes some great cases and has some other accessories. On the other hand, some folks have disliked their designs on some phones.

I first picked up a case from them when I got my shell and holster for the Touch Pro, and then got an extended battery and back cover for my Pre from them. Both have been excellent, and a buddy of mine picked up the TP2 cover and holster and loves it. The shape and feel of the shell covers are great and almost look and feel like a part of the phone from my experiences.

I already found a cute pink case that I think I want. http://www.cellularoutfitter.com/p-3...ch--pink-.html I was hoping that even with a Gel caseing or the rubberdized one it would still fit in here. I want it covered good while in my pocket at work or when in my purse. I know one website said not available till July 5th. I want my case before. Ebay had some cheap black ones too but I didn't see the Gel or Rubberdized ones there..

Edit: I changed my mind and found a cute case I want now and there out of the Pink.
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=41073 This is too cute for you ladies out there getting this phone and that like pink.. The Gel ones aren't available till July 5th.. I'm on a mailing list for when it comes back in stock but other colors are in now. I hope it fits in the case with the gel on..

I'm goin with seidio, I had one of their smooth rubber / plastic cases on my tp2 and my friend accidentally ran over my phone after I dropped it while drunk. We ended up using sprint family tracking and finding it the next day battery popped out, all covers off, and with the screen near perfect but the side of the phone cracked and still in tact. I still have / use the same phone and ever since that day I will forever use seidio cases.

They are sleek, feel good in the hand, and are extremely thin. On a phone like this you would definitely want to keep it looking sexy.

This is the e-mail I got from otterbox when I requested infor if they were making a case for the Evo.

http://content.netsuite.com/core/med...38e5bc22550e9e
Update for Case #110521 - "Htc Evo 4G"

Dear Travis,

We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have put in a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have.

Thank you,
Katy

How does Sprint Family Tracking work on a phone with no battery?

I don't know maybe it saved the last location of the phone before it lost power.

I'm hoping that HTC and Sprint include a case like they have with some of their phones before. Granted, the stock cases haven't always been the greatest quality but they worked for me.

I know what you mean. When I recieved my TP1..it had a nice velcro pouch..but didn't hold up as well. I'm trying to locate a pouch with a snap closure, and preferably leather that will meet specified dimensions of the EVO. I'm not a fan of magnets with electronic devices.. something about that doesn't seem right..lol. I've came across some good ones, but nothing that stands out. Hopefully, the EVO does come with a pouch..that would take all the guess work out. I like the Fortte ones..you can actually customize them, and imprint logos/names on the case. Any other ideas?:idea1:

Would be nice if Sprint gave us a silicone case, like the t-mobile gave the HD2 users. I'd be fine with that.

Rose4uKY 05-12-2010 01:09 PM

Re: Evo cases
 
That would be nice! I want to order a silicone one ahead of time or a rubberdized one but I can't find any that you can get right now. I've found cases.

i found this one on http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Silicone-...ple-P87769.htm ships on 7/5/10 though.. that sucks.. I'm pretty sure an HD2 silicone/rubber will work too..being that there almost identical in shape/size.

I'm sure you can buy some overpriced skins at the Sprint store....

Rose4uKY 05-12-2010 09:45 PM

Re: Evo cases
 
Those are what I want. I saw them at 2 different websites and there Amzer and they say July 5th. There's rubberdized and silicone I wasn't sure which I was going to get just yet.. But it would of been nice to of had it before June 4th when the phone comes out. Ok so now I went back to this site and it said June 7th on the silicone and June something else on the rest. N o more July 5th. So now it's a matter of what I want but since the silicone one is June 7th I'll try one of those 1st..

The only "bad" thing with these is that you have to remove it to use the kickstand. Will I use it that much? I don't know, but I may be less likely to if I have to remove the case to use it and it's a nice feature. Decisions, decisions! LOL!

Have to disagree here, Seidio does NOT make great anything and their customer service is far from optimal.

I hope a manufacturer makes a case that I can leave the phone in all the time. It would be similar to my Apache case from Brando
(http://shop.brando.com/bw-sprint-ppc...c0004d004.html).
Very well protected!!! http://shop.brando.com/bw-sprint-ppc...c0004d004.html

It's very well protected because it looks like it's protected by a tank. That thing is HUGE.

Are you referring to Otterbox? Nice case if you work in construction or some other extreme environment.... I'm waiting for a holster from Seidio. Got one for my Tp & never looked back.

Rose4uKY 05-13-2010 11:42 PM

Re: Evo cases
 
Well I got it for just when I want to throw my phone in my purse. I am still getting the silicone case from that Amerzon site cause it will be available on June 7th. There rubberdized ones say June 21st. I may try one of each. I just put my touch pro 2 in the pink case and it's a tight snug fit and comes all the way up to the top. The evo may not fit right so I may just use it for something else or give it to my niece. I paid 7 bucks for it. This is what I want either pink or purple.. And they have a hole for the kickstand. They make solid Silicone and argyle print ones ,Rubberdized and hard plastic ones. The guy from the company said the silcone solid ones stretch and the argyle one which is the link I posted below doesn't stretch and is better. I just need something quick and it looks like June 7th is the quickest for what I want.. I am sure other places will have stuff soon too.. I need the car mount and need to know where it's available at and if it will hold the phone in either direction.

Re: Evo cases
 
Are the high dollar screen protectors on capacitive screens proven to be better than the cheapo ones that can be bought for $5 for a 3 pack on eBay? I've never used a screen protector on my Hero, and I have no scratches on the screen since October 9. I wasn't planning on getting one for the Evo, either, but I'm not sure I want it completely unprotected.

The case that came with my TP sucked, and I didn't even get one with my TP2. I did have the full body on my TP but havn't had one on my TP2 as I plan to sell it anyways. I will prob get just the Zagg screen and then like a body glove hard case or another type of hard case.

Re: Evo cases
 
Ok I got my pre order confirmation today am so excited. I called HTC to see if they knew what was coming in the box and me and this really nice lady had a long chat. She also has the Touch Pro 2 from T-Mobile and said hopefully a GSM version will come out and mentioned it being called the Supersonic. She said that I will love Android better than Windows mobile and how her 70 year old mom couldn't use a win mo phone but loves Android. She said even though I have HTC now with Sense this will be so much more user friendly. I just don't know much about Android. But she also said Day Deal gets cases in usually when the phone is out that there ahead of other people so I went there. Nothing much yet butI called them and was told oh the cases for the HD2 are the same and will fit. And they had some really cute ones but they don't have the cutout for the Kickstand like the other site does and I liked there's better. So I'm gonna order one from that Amazer site whatever it is and wait and hope Day Deal gets some cute ones in and they have the cut out also.

I think I'm gonna go with another skin from http://www.bestskinsever.com/ good prices, product, and customer service from them. I think Zagg is overpriced for the same product.
