how is this silicone case compare to the TPU cases? does it hold its shape as well as the TPU? I have a TPU now, but its not as soft as i expected (for drop impact shock protection) and its a fingerprint magnet.
Thanks, I've been looking for one of these. I just placed my order.

Oh Silicone is awesome, it's softer squishier than TPU and also attracts all the lint in your pocket. /Sarcasm.
Just ordered a gray one from amazon...Sweeet!
Received mine early this week and I really like this case. The fit is great and it has a non slip feel. Would definitely recommend.

I am still waiting for mine...when did you order?? And can you pl post pics...I just cant wait.
I have one like this, bought it at my local Radio Shack. The design on the one in the link is not offered at my local store in black, only grey, red, and purple. My black silicone has lines going from side to side instead of dots. I can post pics if any one wants. I like my design my better than the dots...
I was trying on the HTC silicone and the Otterbox Impact and I think that the HTC is built much better. The Otterbox Impact would slide off the bottom way too easy, love my Defender though...

Dude, yes!! Pics please!!!!
Can you sense my excitement here??
Great Case, Im currently switching back and forth between this and the TPU "hybrid" case. Loving them both tho
I love this case. My OG EVO I never had a case on it, but I'm loving this case on my EVO 3D. I'd like to get another color too, just to alternate after a while.
Here are the pics of the HTC case in black with a different design on the back.
It looks almost gray in the pics, but I assure you it is black
Hello,
I ordered the black one with the dots on it and received it this weekend. It is a very nice case. It is not very thick and provides a good feel and protection. Before I was using an otterbox impact which I like, but it was a little too thick. I did see the other one as metioned above at Radio Shack this weekend and those were also nice. Is anyone also using a hip case with theirs? I am not use to carrying phones in my pocket and would like to put this is a hip case.

Cant wait to see a review on this. I had one for my EVO 4G and liked almost everything about it, but ended up returning it because the lip didnt come over far to protect the screen. Id like to be able to lay it face down, and not have to worry about the glass touch anything. Im hoping this one will allow that.
look at the camera cutout, doesn't look aligned.. =(

Thats not even a picture of the product on a real phone, could just be bad photoshop. Barely there sucks though since no lay on the table design. Whats the point? You drop it face down and your screwed.

Please do post pics and a quick little review once you receive it. I loved the fleaBay barely there case I kept on my Evo. I actually didn't even realize the "real" name of product as I stumbled onto the case on fleaBay and never needed another. I found the real product right before I sold my Evo right before I got my 3D.
Thanks!
ETA: I am currently using a TPU from TPU Cases and it is really nice. I'm just used to having some options and the thin snap on is one I really like having. The argyle TPU is a real crowd pleaser.
i just bought this one. I loved the Casemate barely there on my EVO 4G. I will let you know how this one works.

I bought this one and its just like the case-mate barely there case. It does have a lip that will protect the screen if you place it face down and its really slim. The cut-outs are all perfectly aligned. Its plastic with soft rubberized coat.

Hmm, sorry. Here is where I got the code from:
http://www.retailmenot.com/view/case-mate.com
It says its for "custom cases" (the ones you can put your own pictures on) so I'm not sure why it worked for my order.
I see theres a new one "july4" for 20% off, mysave10 for 10% off, cmretail10 for 10% off. Just look around
Case just arrived.
This is exactly, I mean exactly what I was looking for. It's just like the best case I ever saw, my Wifes Nexus-S case by MyIncipio, thier ultra slim "Feather" model, but it covers the top of the screen ever so slightly, where as the case for the ogEVO stopped right before top of the screen, which was dumb.
The feel and grip of the case is spot on perfect. Not too slick, not too sticky, but just right.
I hate bulky cases with a passion, don't want my phone looking like a thick bar of soap. Plus I has an OtterBox case on ogEVO and phone still cracked screen from a small drop. So no case can 100% protect you.
I am very satisfied with my purchase here. To me the perfect case.

This case looks exactly like one I got off amazon for like 8 bucks. The one I got is kind of a frosted look. I love how minimal it is while still having I think the best design for the camera-when its a big opening its not well protected especially from fingerprints. I just wish I could get a holster for it. The other thing the cutouts for the cameras are perfect and I tried an otterbox and they didn't line up near as good.

Do you have a reputable seller? If so can you provide a link? And can you possibly recommend a holster, seeing as you know the dimensions intimately?

here is a link to where i bought mine, took 2 days to get to me.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BALLISTIC-S...937?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item23139dd431
And i can not recommend a holster as i do not use one for this phone.
My red case also arrived yesterday. Here are my impressions:
1. The case looks nice. 2. The case is bulkier than I expected. 3. The case mutes the speaker phone slightly. The speaker is not covered, but a cut out around the speaker would have maximized the volume. 4. I'm confident in the protection the case provides, and I like the case's look. 5. A kickstand would have been nice. 6. The hand-feel is excellent. Whereas the caseless Evo 3d feels hard to grip to me, this case fits my hand well, especially because of the flared corners.
I'm happy with this case and its high level of protection, but I can't wait for someone to make a thin TPU case with thick rubber in the corners to absorb the shock in a drop.

Right now im using the Ballistic as an everyday case.
I used to use the Otterbox as the everyday case but it collected alot of dirt and lent on the silicone portion, the ballistic doesnt seem to do that at all.
With the TPU the case wont be as protected but i do like how it keeps the phones slim profile.

Good to hear about the lint on the ballistic. That was a concern if mine as well. One reason why I was leaning towards the TPU. Now I may get the ballistic.

I have the ballistic case too. ALthough, I do love it, i have gotten SOO many comments about how huge my phone is that it's starting to wear on me. I hate having to pull out the phone from it's case just to prove that hey it's actually pretty slick without the cover.
BUT then, it beats the purpose of having a sleek phone doesn't it? I think I'm going caseless. UNLESS, someone can recommend a thin silicone case that has the same feel as the inner layer of the ballistic case.
I almost considered just using the first layer of the Ballistic case by itself but it's a little lose without the red part clamping down everything. Any recommendations?
Ordered it for 9.99 and got free overnight so I got it today Came with 2 Screen protectors But the protectors were for the international version. Anyways the Case feels great!!!. I wanted the outerbox but read that the peice that covers at the top is sometimes loose and i did not want that. it feels great in the hand!

can you take some pictures of this in pieces. and show how much it makes the phone thicker? how much heavier? is it easy to get in and out of the pocket.... I was thinking about getting the neo hybrid ex but it is a little pricey in my mind.
its extreamly easy to put in and put of pocket. . I'll take a few pics later. It feels great in the hand. I had a Neo hybrid silver one the one that had the rubber backing. This case feels lighter than that one

Is the back rubbery or real "grippy".
The otterbox commuter has mostly slick plastic on the back. I would like a little more grip on the back for my preference which is why I might try this one.

I received both the Commuter and Superleggera Pro today, so I can definitely see what you mean about the plastic shell being slippery on the Commuter. I do love it, though.
The Superleggera is almost identical to the Commuter, except the plastic shell is covered in a rubbery feeling coating. It's definitely got more grip than the Commuter shell, but I wouldn't call it "real" grippy. But in comparison, yes, it's more grippy than the Commuter. My only concern is that the rubbery coating may wear off over time, but we'll only know that once we use them for a while.
The silicone inner piece is much thicker on the Superleggera, but doesn't make the phone any bigger than the Commuter (which doesn't add much bulk at all). One nice thing I noticed...where all four corners of the phone are covered only in silicone on the Commuter, with the Superleggera only one is. The shell covers the corners on the other three, so you seem to have an extra layer of protection in that area.
A darn nice case, especially for the price and fast shipping. I still prefer that built-in port covers on the Commuter, but I'll be using both for sure.
Thanks Kentucky

Just got the case. they delivered on sunday... probably the only redeeming quality of ensenda. anyways i find the sort coating on the hard plastic tp be perfect, the weight to be fairly low and the fit to be very good. the price is outstanding.
it included two screen protectors for the int'l ver. and the top mic is... not right at all. it is in the right position left right but needs to be moved towards the back of the phone. anyways ill post some individual parts pics later on.
Well I have to say, for $9.95 + free 1 day shipping, I'm VERY happy with this purchase. Just got mine and it fits perfect. Not sure about the top mic being covered though. Does that just add to the bottom to allow better pickup for speaker phone, etc.? Which I never use.
Maybe but it serves a far more important purpose. And they is noise canceling, it uses the alternate directions to distinguish white noise and your voice

Just got mine for $14 shipped, although they shipped it to the wrong house yesterday. My neighbor brought it over today. Here are some pictures the case and the clip have kickstands, but the one one the case is nearly impossible to open with fingernails I had to use my pocket knife. They both allow you to set the phone on either side. To have the screen face out in the holster it has to be upside down, but it works. Pretty solid for the price.

I got one of those in the OP.
Can't say I love it, but for the price I'll keep it as a 'rugged' case. Probably won't use the holster except for possibly as screen cover if I put the phone in a backback. It doesn't look terribly well made.
I also got a Ventev TPU case. Really like it actually. It almost makes the phone look nekid but gives a bit of reassuring protection and makes the phone easier to hold.
Wow, thanks for the heads up.
That's a great price for a case and holster. I have a TPU now, and wanted a holster and case for when the situation merits it, but didn't want to drop $50 on an otter or seido. This is perfect.
Just to confirm, does the belt clip rotate 360 degrees and does it "lock" at various angles ? Or is it only in vertical or horizontal positions?
EDIT: Quick little video review of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BZ7zS0n-2w
Looks like it also comes in red and white.
Thanks again OP.
I just got the white case today and I'm very happy with it. Great deal and value.
$14 bucks for a dual layer protection case AND a holster!
Here's a few pics of the white one with a close up of the buttons and ports.

Thanks for the info. Will be getting one.
If you were one of the fortunate ones to get a free gel case, you can use the same holster set with it for a different look.
So by the looks of it... The case has more bulk than a tpu case?

I wouldn't , the holster doesn't hold the phone with the blue silicone case securely . It slides around in the holster.
The outer shell does fit over the gel case, but it doesn't sit flush and feels weird holding the phone to me.

Damn. It looked like a really nice case.... But I don't want to add more bulk..... I have a diztronic tpu case and was looking for a holster.
Just a heads up: While the phone with this case fits in the car dock if you just need it to hold your phone, it's slightly too big to sit properly in the Official Sprint/HTC Car Dock so the USB plug doesn't go in far enough to charge or activate car mode.

Mine shipped pretty fast actually. Maybe they had to restock?

I'd suggest searching for J Butterfly cases, since the DNA specifically doesn't have that much stuff out for it. A search on rakuten for "htc j butterfly case" brings up two that are a bit expensive (about $45 base) but stylish.
Hope that helps!
To bring this old topic back up. I have found a leather flip case for the DNA. Nillkin makes it. They come in 3 different colors: black, red, and gray.
Enjoy!

ordered two of these... look forward to getting them
I have two of the Nillkin leather flip case. One red for the wifey and a gray one for me. I've had it for a week and so far I love it.
What kind of leather is it? Rough and glossy or soft and fluffy.

Can you post pics? I'm really intrigued to see how they look away from a press shot.

Just got mine in the mail, and I'm kinda disappointed, it really doesn't feel like leather, more like cardboard with some kind of felt/fake leather on it.

Yes exactly that. More than willing to pay more though. Nobody makes them that's the issue.
Snarky comment aside lots of nice flip open style cases out there in the 15-20 range.
I want a Poetic slim line style case. They told me they will not be making one.

If not leather maybe like a political prisoner?
Its a decently nice case for the price. Fits very well. Not slopply put together. It looks like it would be sued but doesn't have the same feel. I say its well worth the $15. I do wish they would make nicer more expensive cases but its not an iPhone so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Observations thus far from owner
I just got the grey one in the mail yesterday and truly, I'm rather undwhelmed. Here are some observations from the past 12+ hours.
1. Case does NOT feel like leather at all as posted previously. Kinda cheap honestly.
2. The cover does not secure itself at all. It kinda just flaps in the wind and slides all over the place. The cover itself seems to be a bit big for the phone itself. Holding the cover tightly to the phone screen leaves 1/8 inch or so hanging off the side. If I set the phone down with the screen up and nothing on top of it, the cover just flaps open. This could be potentially be self-adjusting with use and having the case "break-in" but I have seen other flip covers that did not require this break-in period.
3. The case makes the buttons (power, volume +/-) more difficult to press. The case has proper cut-outs but the cut-outs could have been a bit larger to allow for easier access to the buttons. I really have to get my fingertip into the cut-out to operate the buttons.
I understand that the overall cost of the case was pretty low and people will state that "you get what you pay for" but I had previously purchased the Nillikin slim case in brown and I think I will be going back to that one. The slim case was a measly 8 bucks or so and doesn't have the flip cover, but the overall construction, feel and function of that one seems far superior.
/end $0.02
How about some pictures?
everybody should Email Poetic and beg for a slim line leather flip case.
