Let's talk cases for the HTC EVO 3D.

I went with the otterbox commuter today.
My only complaint with the case so far is the 2D/3D switch is a little tough to toggle unless I use 2 hands.

How did you get this? The Otterbox site shows nothing for the 3D and a search produces no results.
 
I had a Innocase II and messed it up and then I ordered an Active and liked it better. But I love Seidio products. I may get the Purple body glove vibe case with a stand to hold me over till Seidio comes out with theres.

It has a kickstand? How much was it? What should I ask for in Best Buy? I haven't seen that one yet. If they have them in stock I want it right now, lol.

Just go to the cell phone case section and look for the EVO 3D area within that section. S/b close to the EVO 4G cases. It was 34.99. They also have one for 29.99 without the kickstand.

And to add, this case comes out past the camera lens so you can sit the phone down on desks or whatever without being afraid of scratching the camera.
 
I have my heart set on the Ballistic HC case. I emailed them asking for an eta on the case and received a reply that they are expecting it to be available for purchase through the web site within the next three weeks. Thats longer than I want to wait but I think I will all the same. I might need a tube sock to hold me over I guess :p
 
I read somewhere mid July, but don't quote me ;)

Actually, it's there now! I guess they were waiting for the official release date to advertise it (not sure why, though).

I have another question for Doomstang though... I really wanted to get a boxwave screen protector, but that's not yet available. Can you comment on the quality/transparency/adhesiveness of the screen protector that comes with the commuter case? I can't decide whether to forgo from using a screen protector until the boxwave protector is available, or whether to use the commuter screen protector until I'm able to get my hands on a boxwave protector (in which case I would try to remove the otterbox protector and replace it with the boxwave).

BTW Doomstang, thanks so much for the great images, they're very helpful!
 
There are actually quite a few bundles that come with a leather case, phone case, wall charger, car charger, screen protectors and more. Here are the ones that I am looking at. I hope its ok to post ebay links.

FOR HTC EVO 3D 8 accessory LEATHER GEL+CASE TPU+CHARGER - eBay (item 260807357419 end time Jun-24-11 19:24:13 PDT)

Mega 7 Bundles HDMI Charger Headset LCD For HTC EVO 3D - eBay (item 370519509441 end time Jul-15-11 18:06:03 PDT)

Cheap enough.

I think I did that wrong the links do not seem to work. Sorry.

My temporary solution from Best Buy. I need a holster too so I'll be getting something else, but I have to have a case so I don't have to baby this thing.
This is made by Pt(Platinum) which some say is also Seido.....

The stand is appreciated, but no where near the sturdiness of the EVO 4G stand.

GREAT CASE! , but it's yet another reason the charging jack is in a STUPID location....
 
Sprint gave me an Otterbox case with holster! I said why not spend the $50 gift card used for my pre-order on a case. I don't care for the Otterbox case. You guys can bet that damn case will come off when I need to hit the town. The Otterbox case will be used for work, but the Seidio case will be for play time baby!
 
ballistic comes out late July per a rep at ballistic . make sure and sign up on their crackbook page. the ballistic case is nice. i plan to get all the colors as i did with the evo... i currently have the evo 3d in a Sony pouch for now..
 
picked up the commuter otterbox at my Sprint store today. looks and works great. camera glass is recessed now, and the charge port flap is much better than the Evo 4G's case.
 
I went and got the Platinum holster from Best Buy($34.99) that's like the Seidio Surface(fka Innocase 2), but I also got the $6.95 TPU case I bought from ebay today in the mail. I like the TPU so much and it lines up perfectly with the holster, so I think I'm going to use it in conjunction with the ebay case instead. Now I just need a ghost armor for my 3D. Had a Zagg before and I'm not a fan. Had the ghost armor on my 4G for a year with no orange peel and you could hardly tell it had something on the screen.

How do you like it? How much protection do you think it'll really provide (against just scratches and such, or impact at all?) I've been thinking about getting something small and light for when I'm out and about, working out, that kind of thing, and this looks nice, but not sure if it's going to provide much additional protection. Having a hands on, maybe you're in a bit better position to speculate?

For the price you really cant beat it. The fit is perfect. I mean so perfect its really amazing this thing cost so little. It will definetly protect against scratches no doubt. It is also very thin and feels great in your hand. The only downside is the back is glossy so if you have wet hands i can see this slipping out really easily.

Now today I went to best buy and got the Platimum case and holster. Now I am really torn becuase I love both of them. And the TPU case fits perfectly in the Holster of the Platinum.

I am very torn right now.

Oakley Sunglasses micro fiber bag.:D

I didn't find an oakley bag, but we do have a store in the local mall called the sunglass hut. They had a microfiber bag, in multiple colors. I picked up a black bag.

It is perfect for this phone. It is big enough to hold the phone inside a case. It is also about an inch or so taller than the phone in the case. Perfect to connect to my chain and fix to a belt loop.

I'm a happy camper :)

These look nice, how much bulk does it add to your phone?
Click to expand...

(In regards to the Ballistic SG case)One of my co-workers has this case for his iPhone, and it is actually pretty thin. Comparable to the otterbox commuter, only imo this ballistic makes nicer products.The only thing I am skeptical about with this case is that the HUGE camera lens is exposed.
 
I bought case from best buy that looks like innocase 2

Any weird on steinheil crystal clear screen protector?

I thought this was a cool case, Case-Mate Pop case, even comes with a kickstand. It comes in black and white. Probably the one I'd get if I decided to go with this phone.
