Acase for Evo 3D - HTC EVO 3D

"Acase" case for Evo 3d, similar to otterbox commuter. The case comes with 2 screen protectors as well.
I really like this case more then the commuter. The back shell has a nice touch to it. It feels well protected and thinner then the commuter. No problems with sound from speakers. And the one thing i like the most is the camera is protected.

Lol and here I was thinking you typed too quickly when you wrote a case.

Looks real nice. Look forward to seeing pics.
Almost like the case mate tough case. Hopefully thinner as the description implies. Been wanting one.

Me too, lol.
Nice pictures and review. I personally use the defender because of how hard I am on the phone at work, but that would be a great case to use if you want a little smaller phone (as most know the defender makes the phone HUGE.)

Looks really nice, thanks for sharing! I have to many cases already, but I may end up buying this one too anyway... I'm a bit of a case whore...

I received my case last week. Here are my thoughts..... I like this case a LOT.
Pros
- Fits great, like a glove. There is nothing loose.
- The case is fairly thin. I previously used a generic version of the case mate barely there, which is thinner that this, obviously, but this case does not add that much thickness to it.
- Buttons for power and volume as very easy to push and feel the clicks when the buttons are depressed
- If you notice the pics from jtgarza3, you'll see that the silicone wraps around nicely onto the screen. Unlike other cases, there's more of a 'bump' at the front of the case. I think this makes the case feel less bulky when holding (A PLUS IMO) and it keep the screen off the table when face down.
- Hard shell case has the soft touch paint and wraps around all side of the case... more so than the Otterbox and CaseMate versions (which I think are bulkier)
- 2-layer protection should offer some protection from drops [cushioning of the silicone and hard case protection] ... at least better than my generic barely-there case.
- Thin - yes again.... That's my biggest requirement to have a good case with protection, yet as thin as possible. It think this case gets me there.
- Price - For $10 you cannot go wrong!
Cons
- The silicone does attract some dust and lint, but not a magnet by any means. But you will notice a layer and with a quick wipe will restore it to the nice slick black silicone look..... this is really the only downside that I have so far.
If I had to rate this I give a 9 of 10. Knock a point for my only con.
Hope, this is helpful for those on the fence or those looking for a nearly perfect case.
Edit: Just to add that I also own a TPU case from TPU-Cases.com (smoke matte style). While I like that as well, I still prefer this from Acase. Plus I found the smoke matte TPU case to not have any real grip.

for those with the case,is it sticky when putting or removing from your pocket?i have the commuter and noticed its hard to remove from pockets...also noticed that it has actual plastic protecting the four corners...as opposed to the commuter which uses the silicone to protect,which is useless cause i dropped mine and the silicone compressed back and the ground scratched my phone..thanks for the post...will be picking this up..

it is real easy to remove from pockets and does not stick or peel like the commuter. I have the commuter and prefer the Acase over it.

+1 The hard case, despite having soft touch paint is not tacky or sticky.

I just got this case in today and while I like it a LOT, its probably not going to replace my TPU matte back black case for daily use.
Pros:
- The case is really high quality, well worth the $10 and should probably be sold for more than it is.
- Case fits really well, all the cutouts line up perfectly.
- Case adds minimal bulk, similar to the TPU cases.
- The buttons are extremely easy to push (vs the TPU cases which require a little bit more effort IMO) and you definitely get some nice tactile feedback.
- On the areas of the case where it isn't covered by the hard shell (camera module, around the ports/buttons, etc), the silicone is significantly thicker/reinforced.
- The soft touch paint feels really good in the hand.
- Like the fact that the cameras are protected to the max vs other cases that just have one giant cutout for the entire module.
- Easy to take in and out of pocket.
- Comes with a screen protector and microfiber cloth (already have a screen protector installed so didn't try out the included one)
Cons:
- Like most silicone-based cases, the silicone liner is a major lint magnet.
- I also don't like how the silicone lining comes right up to the edge of the LCD on the left and right sides (covers the black rim that surrounds the screen). This may arguably provide more protection but aesthetically speaking, it doesn't look as good to me as the shiny black rim from my TPU case that only comes up to the edge of the device (and not the LCD).
- Speaking of that rim, the one provided by the TPU case feels slightly thicker/more substantial than the rim provided by the silicone liner around the LCD. This is important to me because I feel the TPU material would provide an ever-so-slightly larger buffer between the LCD and the ground if the phone ever got dropped face first (but I'm really splitting hairs here). The silicone also feels like it would compress more vs TPU material if dropped, so that thin buffer/lip created by the silicone around the edge of the LCD might not be as good as TPU material at keeping the screen out of contact with the ground if the phone was dropped face first (pure speculation on my part though).
Aesthetically speaking, I like the TPU case better but that's just my opinion. The Acase may provide slightly better protection if the phone was dropped on its back or on its side due to the silicone/hard shell combination. But the TPU case may be better if the phone was dropped face first due to the slightly larger buffer/lip the TPU case should provide between the LCD and the ground. In the end, both the TPU case and the Acase are fine options and I don't think you can go wrong with either one (I will probably end up switching between the two of them every so often).

Just got this case in the mail today. I used to use the Commuter case and I just figured that I would get used to the flap. Got annoyed and just took off the case eventually.
This case better than the Commuter in almost all regards. The only point where the Commuter is better is that the USB port on the Commuter is covered. Sans that, this case is great.

Glad you like it. What flap are you talking about? Also is it a lot thinner than the Commuter?

Well the Commuter has a really bad habit of loosening out along the top and bottom because it's not supported there. It's pretty much solved on this case.
And yeah I think it's thinner than the Commuter but it's not so thin as to feel bad. It's feels quite solid. Much better than the Commuter IMO.

Thanks for the post. I ordered one as well..

Case looks awesome! Too bad it doesn't look like it's available in any other colours...I'm a girl, I want a pretty case. Currently using the Otterbox commuter pink for breast cancer edition.
