Hi All,
Could someone link me to a one piece case that is made out of hard plastic?
I've searched over 1000 on ebay and couldnt find any!
I like the hard plastic 1 piece case since they are usually slim.
Thank you!
Sprint has one! I finally found one! its 28 dollars tho. Only comes in purple but has kick stand on it! it is made by Body Glove, I went to their site and they dont even have the Evo 3D listed =\

I got the red Body Glove and love it. I generally don't do cases but once I slid it on I couldn't take it off. Sorry don't have a picture. It was 28 bucks I think but got it for 20 with my discount. Got it at the sprint store.
Bought one (pink) for the wife today. It was $24.99 at my local Sprint store, fit nice and tight. I like that you can prop it up either way in landscape mode, so charging while "kicked up" is possible.

Wow, how these places charge $28 bux for a piece of plastic is beyond me. I feel bad selling our TPU cases for $8.95! $28 and I'd feel like a con artist.
http://www.amazon.com/RUBBERISED-TR...HVCY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1308957706&sr=8-3 I like this one. Have it. It's cheap slim and actually protects the camera unlike most cases.

I ordered the green thru your site.
The site was dog slow, i was afraid paypal was gonna time out on me. I was starting to wonder if i tried to order right as someone started scheduled maintenance or something.
But it appears to have gone thru, so now it's time to wait and see.
my only concern is that if these (or any) cases trap heat. I sorta like having the exposed metal bezel that seems to behave as a heatsink. Either way I'm glad to have a device that isn't a slider so i have a lot to choose from.
I personally would love to find something similar to the iLuv snap-on cases for the ipad and ipod touch. they cover the back and corners and sit flush with the screen. But for $9 I can't go wrong.
Got my TPU case today. Wish i knew it was local, i could have probably picked one up same day.
but shipping was extra quick, and the was exactly what i was hoping it would be. Firm and flexible, not squishy like a silicon case. The fit is real tight and everything lines up real well. The top camera hole is ever so slightly off-center, but is barely noticeable and does not affect functionality at all. You would really have to stare at it to see it.
The case itself is glossy and not sticky, but still has plenty of grip. I could see it getting slippery with greasy fingers.
The firmness is reassuring that it won't pop off. It reminds me a lot of the iLuv case I had on my ipod touch before i switched to a snap-on back cover.
Overall I think the TPU case is a great value. I hope the company can remain profitable at this pricepoint, but given that most cases seem to start at $20, I think there's room to grow and still compete.

Remember that magenta case that the Pure was shown in at Engadget before its release? It's a thin, rubberized plastic case.

Thx

Thanks for the link ive been looking for a cheap and good case. Ill order one later.
Thanks again
is it similar to this?
http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-SILICONE-...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45efad84eb
Thanks, 'bout time they got this out. I already wasted $20 on e-bay ordering one from Japan but for Topaz, not Pure.
Here's the shots, basically you have rubberized plastic for $14.99 or hard plastic and silicone for $12.99.
I have the silicon case that a lot of people sell on ebay. It's pretty good, but it's thick, and it tends to snag when you slide it into your pocket. Plus, the bottom buttons are not that easy to access because the silicon case is so thick. You have to point your finger at the buttons directly or it's difficult to press talk/end/back/windows.
I also have one of the snap together covers, which just arrived from eBay about two days ago. I don't know if these are all made from the same manufacturer, but the snap together cover that I got (made with the rubberized plastic that everybody advertises and sounds like such a great idea) is pretty much crap.
The inner part of the cover is not even painted black, which means you can see white through the side cutouts when it's installed on the phone. I kept this on my phone for all of three minutes. It's not even worth the few dollars I paid for it. Again, I don't know if there are multiple manufacturers, but the one I got is really really poor quality.
I would like to try the single back cover that the OP linked at the top of this thread. I haven't tried one of those yet.
thanks guys for reviewing and commenting.
as you all, I'm also sick of wasting precious $$ on all sort of promises and nice pictures.
so, can we say the final verdict is on the one part case? (as posted in the first post)
thx
case is awesome... just got it yesterday. very pleased.

I agree. I'm sick of wasting money on junk. I didn't mention in my above post that I also bought an HTC OEM neoprene pouch that fits my Pure perfectly and that I got for about $5 on eBay. So I've been using that when I go jogging and don't want the Pure to be flipping around in my pocket.
The next best thing I like is the silicon case, which is just a little bit builky but has a great hand feel to it and fits really well. It's also completely impervious to fingerprints. The only drawback here is the button-pressing and the snagging as you push it into your pocket.
I suppose the ideal case would be the one mentioned in the first post, if it's well made and you use a clearprotector for the top of the Pure (which I do use). I think I might wait until the price comes down on these from $14.95 to something more reasonable, given my experience with the other "rubberized" junk case that's now sitting in the trash.
I just bought the g tab case on clearance at Sears for 5.99. Sorry but no pictures. The case is branded for the g tablet and is from viewsonic
Is this the one that a lot of us were given free on Thanksgiving -- it has all the VS markings and stuff on the packaging but on the inside says it is a regular Case Logic netbook case?

Just picked one up from Sears. here's a picture. Not really what I want but it will do till something elce comes along. And heck it was only 5 bucks plus tax.
THAT THING SMELLS TO HIGH HELL
I've had mine airing out for over a week and it still smells like a chemical factory. I've been meaning to return it but don't want to stink up my car...
Mine stunk sooooo bad I had to throw it out. It gave me such a headache. It wasn't worth taking it back for six bucks.
XDA is no longer worth my time.
From TimOster ==> did you try washing it? $5 is $5.

Oh yes. The smell was worse after I washed it. I even used fabric softener that had perfume in it. I couldn't stand the combination of the two smells anymore.

Yep... mine smells bad too...
I washed mine in the sink with Dawn dish soap (loads of it) rinsed it out and set it out in the sun to dry. This process took about 25% of the smell out. So I did it again and got maybe another 25% out. Finally I just put it in my front loader washing machine by itself on delicate (Hot/Cold) Set it out in the sun again and got about another 25% of the smell out.
So now it can be in my car or next to me on my desk and I can't smell it at all. But if you put your nose up to it... well.. it's still there.
I purchased a Kensington 10" netbook sleeve and it fits the gtablet great!
www dot canadacomputers dot com/product_info.php?cPath=710_388_393&item_id=031941
i bought the same case for my Archos 101 and it doesnt stink. Wish the case was more firm but it is enough to protect the screen.
I have essentially the same case on my iPad and never had an issue with any smells. It's great to add a handle, but I still like the protection of a leather case when you're not transporting the thing.
what do you think about this one?
Acase Leather Flip Book Jacket/folio for Apple - from Amazon. It may fit ok..
The Sears guy thought I was nuts when I asked him to open it so I could smell it... smelled fine, btw.... thanks for making me look crazy today... lol

Too bad it flips in portrait versus landscape... I'd like an option for viewing angles.
I just received a Malata Zpad T2 protective case,10.1 inch ViewSonic G-tablet Zpad,folwith stand-type protection Kit book free shipping from Ali Express. It took me about 20 days to get the case but it fits the g-tablet great and secures it very well and has a tap to use the case as a fold up stand. Total cost $32.00.
20 days????
LOL I actually picked htis case at office depot even though ti was sold as a caselogic case (it looked the best for the g-tablet) i got ripped off at $20 but atleast it doesnt stink, i guess maybe thats why they charged $5?
I wonder what the smell was of, so weird. Mildew is common, but chemicals? hopefully it wasnt uranium tetraflouride
Bought it as best buy for 35 bucks. Kind of expensive but i really like it. It has very nice soft touch finish to it and it feels great in the hand. With the case on its only a tad bit thicker than the epic 4g. Kick stand props up nicely vertically and horizontally. Theres also a nice soft fuzzy material inside the case to prevent it from scraping against the phone, and it protects your camera lens when you set it down on its back. It doesn't get in the way with anything and it fits great in my slim fit jeans
$35 bucks at best buy. Kind of steep but i had my 50 dollar preorder giftcard so i just used that.
UPDATE: It stands perfectly in portrait as well!

Holy over sized pictures, damn.
edit... here ya go, not a bad looking case, I definitely wouldn't mind having a kickstand.
ahaha thanks! i just uploaded them to picasa before i saw your post lol
Looks like that case adds a lot of bulk to the phone :/
protects the camera? can't tell it kinda looks flush
This looks 3rd party? The official HTC case has the kickstand oriented so the charging port is on the top. With this case it doesn't look like you can kickstand it and charge it at the same time.
What brand is that? Is it best buys platinium series? I like how it goes together, in my experience that style(comes apart as top and bottom) is by far more durable.

Yep, that's a Platinum Series case. Most of their stuff is made by Seidio.
I plan to mozy on over to my Best Buy today and see if they'll sell me accessories.
I went and checked it out. I'm going to wait for Seidio though because I need the combo with the holster. The only holster option BB had is for the rugged case which is too big for me...

haha wow youre right. Charging port touches the surface when you're using the kickstand. If it were the other way though, you the volume buttons would be touching the surface.

No holsters. The only holster they have is for thier rugged version.
I bought a surface case but will order a combo from seidio as well.
gotta have the holster!

I just confirmed my concerns with Customer Service, This is their answer:
Thank you for contacting Seidioonline.com. The kickstand on our SURFACE case for the EVO 3D does not allow access to the charging port when it is in use. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 832-204-1118.
thanks for the update - I was told this item was sold out and Sprint wouldn't be getting it until days after the release date of the EVO 3D - Best Buy, here I come tomorrow.
Yeah it's not bad except I need to access the charge port when in use. So, I'm taking mine back.. I do like the feel of it and the fact it does add a little more protection around the camera
bought this same case and was suprised to find out that the kickstand is plastic and not metal. just fyi
Here is another case I found during my search for unique, high-end cases for our phones. The company who makes it is AG Findings. They own Ballistic, so it's not some no-name company. It is a TPU case with a leather inlay on the back that adds some sturdiness and refinement to a standard TPU case. I actually ordered this case and it should be here Thursday. I'll post pictures when I get it.
Again everywhere I've looked says it fits I777...so we will see.

That's a fine looking case right there. I'm getting a SGSII today hopefully if they come in stock so I'll also be in the market for a case.
I use this case, it's holding up well. AT&T actually carries this one in the store, which is where I purchased it.

I see it for $16 on Amazon w free shipping. I already have a couple of other cases, including the Casemate pop stand (white) and Incipio Featherlight case. While I liked the Pop up stand, it's a bit bulkier than I'd like. Any idea how this one compared to the Casemate pop up case? I like the look, guess I'll do some more research before pulling the trigger on this one.

I think its about as slim as you can get while still having reasonable protection. Id say its definitely slimmer than the pop. Its a classic looking and understated case and feels great in the hand. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow evening.
Any luck with taking some pictures?
Right! Sorry about that...here's the pics:
Nice! I dig that style.
I may have to pull the trigger on one.

Yeah it is nice. It fits pretty tight and feels good in the hand. The material is smooth to the touch and doesn't snag in pockets. I found it on Amazon for around $12 if I remember correctly. The hole at the top for the headphone jack may not work with some headsets. For example in my car my AUX cable has to be shoved into it with some force to get it plugged in, but once in it stays there. You could always use a hot nail to open the hole up a bit.
I'll probably bore it out with my Dremel
Got my case in today. So far, I'm really digging it. The buttons are a little tougher to press, but I'm getting used to it.
The case is a little tough to get on/off, at least at first. I do like that the case is VERY snug. The case has a good feel to it, although it could have a little more grip to go with the texture. It's also surprisingly light.
I also have a Case-mate Pop Case and an Incipio Feather Ultralight Case, so I decided to take pictures to compare all three.
The Incipio Feather case is by far the slimmest, next is the Magnate, then the Case-Mate case. I paid $25 for the Case-Mate, $21 for the Incipio, and $15 for the Magnate, although the Magnate said $35 on the box and arrived in the official AT&T store packaging.
While the Incipio case was the lightest, it also offered the least protection. I'd probably rate the Magnate case and Case-Mate the same as far as Protection goes. I couldn't be much happier with this case.
Hey All. Got my Amaze yesterday and its already up and running on the Energy ROM with faux kernal; thanks to those respective devs. With the flashing out of the way for now, time to look into some cases. As everyone is aware, amaze is not the lightest or thinnest phone, so a case with minimal weight would be desireable. I ran into a matte snap on case from ebay, wanted to know if anyone here has any feedback on these. I am not going after the price (I am open to spend whatever for the ideal case), but more so on the "thin" part. Sadly, I can't post the url due to my noob status, but its easily searchable under "Matte BLACK Hard Snap On Thin Back Case Cover For HTC T-Mobile Amaze 4G".
Looking forward to being part of the Amaze community!
I have a two piece black rubberized case on my one amaze, and a one piece hard case on the other one. Both are light, and fit pretty good. the two piece fits tighter, and has cutouts for all the mic holes on the back cover etc. and they all line up. its just a cheap ebay case. And both are thin. Any cheapie case you get on ebay will be light, and the best part is after a couple months just pay $3-5 and get a new one.
The one piece doesen't cover the top and bottom of the phone, just the sides, so it won't protect as well as the two piece, and if I ever have to pop the two piece apart to get at the back cover, it comes apart easy.
I'd get a cheap two piece, try it out. if you need more protection, then upgrade, but i'd start at ebay.
Be careful with some of the cheap ebay snap-on cases. I got one for a previous phone that was front and back pieces that snapped together. It was thin and looked OK but it would pop open when dropped and the phone would come out and land unprotected. It was ok for scratch protection and keeping the screen off the table but provided very little to zero drop protection.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I have to consider the drop protection. When I was searching youtube for cases, the videos were showing cases which was huge. Yes it protects the phone, but it’s very uncomfortable to carry around. Might have to try some on from the local mall kiosk if anything.
I just went with a cheap ebay case from eforcecity and I'm satisfied. I think I paid $6 shipped and it came with a screen protector.
I got one from ebay that is really good, it comes with a holster. Trust me, thiz isnt like the ones that are cheap made and snaps when minimal force aplied to it. This is high quality. Not bulky either.

I too have this case, it works great. I have not noticed any difference in my network connection signal strength which was a concern and has provided good protection for the phone in its couple of drops. I work in a hydraulics shop with hardened concrete floors and it has held up well. As a side note the case also holds up well when exposed to mineral and petroleum based hydraulic fluids.
