Good Silicone case?

Any recommendations for silicone cases?


I saw the Amzer site, the price wasn't bad, but wouldn't a cheap ebay product made in China fare the same for about 300% less?

Thoughts?
 
I intend on getting a screen protector as well, but I'll wait for reviews to hit. I want something that won't impact the sensitivity or clarity of the screen.
 
I just ordered the silicone jelly case and screen protector from amzer.com. I usually go naked, but I'll give this a try for the price to start with.
 
I was looking at the Amzer gel case as well. Since there are no reviews for the evo one I looked at the HTC INC. reviews assuming they are made of the same material. They were mixed, most complained about it being a dust collector was all. I hate that it won't ship until 6/7. I plan to see what is in the stores then order over the weekend if I can't find anything.

All my phone's have been naked. I think I'll probably do the same as you. I'm pretty rough with my devices, and I don't care to damage a device that is essentially 4.3 inches of glass in the front.
 
i am also interested in some sort of rubber silicon case. justin, from epik cases, told me that he should have those in for the evo 2-3 weeks after the phone is released. it's frustrating that i can already find cases for the hd2 for only $1.99 and free shipping on ebay. i may go with amzer because i don't want my phone to go unprotected. i wish the kiosks in the mall carried something, but i have only seen the type of cases i want online.
 
I'm waiting for Seidio's offering but I'm sure there will be a wait. They don't even have Incredible cases yet.

Case Mate is another good choice. I hope that I can pick up a generic silicone case at Sprint on June 4th. I need something day one.

Agreed. If you recall watching the EVO NYC event, there were some shots of silicone cases. I hope Sprint will have those on release day.

Do these cases scratch the phone? I am always worried that hard or semi-hard cases will scratch the phone and therefore defeat their own purpose. I tried looking for reviews, but I couldn't fine one that wasn't from a seller.

It is a gel case, only difference is that it contains a multi-color diamond like pattern.
 
I don't remember which one but 1 of the cases from that company looked like it completely covered the front camera and 1 looked like it covered it 1/2 way. Just be careful what you choose and make sure it is what you want. I personally will wait and see what they have in the sprint store when I go buy the phone.
 
I want a gel case/cover but do not want an actual pouch (the kind you see mostly guys wearing on the belt or trousers) to put the phone in. And I don't want a hard cover/case either. Too bad I have no freaking clue on what is good and not good. Ugh.

it "appears" that only the argyle case would work w/ the evo w/o hindering functions of the phone such as the camera(s)
 
Not trying to be rude or anything, but....

someone seriously did an unboxing for a phone case?

What's next, unboxing for spare batteries and chargers? Lol

But it would be niced if they nixed the diamond pattern.

Tapatalk. Samsung Moment. Yep.
 
I ordered the Amzer argyle case and already took delivery on a zagg screen cover for my EVO. The Amzer cases are the very same that Verizon sells for the Incredible and they are very nice. I ordered a smoke one. I will also order a cheap one from ebay because the Amzer looks like its not going to ship until the middle of June.

I guess you've never followed the iPhone unboxings on You-Tube. They have people who unbox clear screen protectors. Everyone wants to be a star. :D
 
The problem I have with these cases is that they will keep you from being able to use the car dock they're releasing for the Evo, and it looks pretty slick.
 
wow that arguyle one does look pretty slick!!!! usually not a case guy myself, but i may have to give that one a look and if i get it just slip it off when i'm in the car
