Now the burning question is, "how long is COMING SOON?!?!"

reps said a month from second week of June for Incipio and Case Mate, so i'd say mid July. not sure on Otterbox but i'd assume the same.

won't get that ebay case until like the 23rd or something. it just left the shipping facility yesterday =/
 
oh man, very awesome news (at least for me). it looks like justin is about to get the epik case for the evo in stock real soon:
www.Degasis.net - Authorized Dealer of Epik Case Products for Smartphones - Blackberry Iphone Etc.
these are my absolute favorite cases and at unbelievable prices. i can't wait.
i'll definitely get these cases and post pictures as soon as i get them.
i might get one case-mate too and do a comparison (like which case is easier to press the power button). i'll keep you guys updated.
 
I never bother with bing on the small stuff. Is nice to see it back. Funny thing, the one I ordered from Monster on ebay just shipped today. The red one I ordered days later, and I got it last week, and it was cheaper. What a lame seller.

I don't see any issues with it outside of the lack of "finishing" on the inside, but I'm sure it's no different than other ones in the past. Think it will last, but if it ever peels, flakes or what not, dropping another $5 isn't an issue.
 
Just concerned that it might be toxic, but I'm probably just paranoid.

I love the fit, feels really good in the hand.
 
well, even though my case was supposedly delivered, it was not in my mail box when i arrived home. i'm very disappointed.
 
I just got my red one today and I'm really impressed. It really does look great and the finish on it is way better than what I was expecting. It raises the lens off the table by just millimeter so you still have to be a little careful about placing it. I'm very happy. I just wish that the inner surface were covered by felt so that dust wouldnt get in and scratch. Still love it though.
 
Hey Guys. I thought I would post some pics. The case really is super thin and doesnt add any bulk. My pictures really don't show the great sheen that you get when light hits it. And like dbpaddler said, the lens is now raised about a millimeter off the table so it doesn't rest on it anymore. I wish there was padding on the inside to make sure that it wont scratch the phone, but otherwise, it looks great!

Got mine today finally. Fit is pretty good. For $7.95 it can't be beat. I was contemplating waiting for the CaseMate Barely There case but don't see a reason to get that one now.
 
It shouldn't be too hard to add in your own felt, though, should it? I mean you could just cut some out and place it on the back of the phone before snapping it on. I would assume that would make it stay, and not change the way the case fits, maybe even make it fit better?
 
Yeah. The fit is really good and pretty tight, but I believe that some thin felt tape can be added along the edges to protect the glossy sides of the phone that the case grips too. Otherwise, the case itself is pretty awesome.
 
Well if one of you guys wants to try it out and post some results/pictures of what you did, that'd be cool. Or I'll try it myself when I get mine sometime next week.
 
I ordered the package deal of the case (black), car charger, and screen protector. Can anyone chime in on if the screen protector is any good? Is it a wet or dry install?

What case is that? And does it come in black?
 
so, for whatever reason, both the cases i ordered from ebay came today, even though one of them was confirmed to have been delivered yesterday. not sure what happened with that. all i can say is USPS sucks.

video review should be up in about 3hrs. i love the thin case, though. it's the best i've put on my phone so far. very very nice fit. and def the lightest and thinnest Evo case.

can you tell i'm left handed? and sorry for not getting the second case in full view enough during the second half. only my second video and i did a million takes probably.

Bought the non seidio Platinum series case and it fits the phone secure and tight. I like it a lot and keeps the phone sleek and slim. I also like that their is a lip over the front of the entire phone protecting the phone from dust.

Too bad they fit so tight that when dust and debris does get in between the phone and the case that when you take it on and off it literally will scratch the sides of your phone up pretty badly. My Evo looks a few months old now because of the case rubbing the clear coat off and scratching it. I would avoid getting any case that you have to slide from one end and the other to put on. Get something that snaps together from front to back.
 
Scratches suck. I guess if the case that i got to protect my phone from scratches scratches my phone and gets scratches on it. Then i will have to get another $5 case to cover the scratches.
