Received my Ballistic SG today and as promised here are the pics! At first I was skeptical because the SG wasn't on Ballistic's website but here it is in all of it's glory!

Looks nice! Is it a genuine one? I never can trust ebay. :/
Loved Ballistic with my OG Evo
Unfortunately Otterbox made a case that actually works this time and Ballistic was a little late to the party.

I feel the same way. When the OG EVO was released Otterbox took their sweet time releasing the Defender. Balistic took a while with their HC as well but, they were later to the game.
However, the HC was and still is the toughest case I've ever owned.
I went with the otterbox commuter and I'm pretty happy with it, didn't want a case that wouldn't let me use the kickstand and the defender is too big and has the built in screen protector. Would have gone with seidio again but they screwed up their design this time around trying to use a kickstand that can't be used while charging.

Absolutely happy with the case! Kickstand is on the bottom like the O.G. Totally worth the price. Ballistic all the way!
Love Ballistic but at this point I've already invested in the Otterbox and one TPU case. Can't see myself buying another case for a couple of months at least. When I do, can't see it being a hardcore case.

I wish this case was bigger like the Ballistic HC!
But I do like almost everything about the Otterbox Defender for 3D. I just wish the sides didn't go so high, makes it hard to touch the edges of the screen.
I'd give it an 8/10. Very good case.

Wow I love my otterbox I like how it feels in my hand not to mention how secure it is in it

I also have the Defender and I'm very happy with it!! Bought it at Best Buy for $50 the day I bought my 3D( few days after launch). I have not had any issues with it except the silicone stretching just a little bit. I know Otterbox will send me a new complete case I just don't think its bad enough yet to justify that. I imagine that because the case is put on and taken off 5 days a week that it has caused the stretching prematurely. If you leave the case on for a long time like I'm sure many do then it probably doesn't become an issue for quite a long time if ever at all....

Yeah the otterbox cases are awesome. I've used them on 2 consecutive phones. My phones get some abuse and have yet to replace my 3D because it was dropped. Props to Otterbox.

What are some of the better cases for the Photon? I'm sure the question has been asked but I'm trying to get my ten posts to ask my real question.

I have an otter box commuter and can't complain. Case works well and they have good customer service.
I've owned an otterbox commuter and its just too bulky. I refuse to take off my TPU case I got from amazon for 8 bucks. The best form fitting case I've found and when combined with a screen protector its amazing. Search Amazon for TPU case if you're a pocket man.
I use this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Black-H...ccessories&hash=item4cfc066df4#ht_1368wt_1135
good enough for me
I like the TPU cases but I find myself always taking off my cases no matter which phone I had.
I have the defender but I stopped using it but now I want the commuter but I doubt I'd use it for long lol
I use the commuter and it fits in my pocket just fine.

Thanks for some of the ideas. I have used the TPU case for my Atrix and was happy with that. Need to find the Commuter case and check that one out.

Amazon sells it for 17 bucks. Its OK but as with otter the skin typically gets saggy after a while.
My concern with the otterbox cases has been the amount of lint they attract. They are like magnets for the stuff.

Just picked it up at my local best buy
It's different from any of the otterbox defender I've used for any EVO but feels very nice on the hands

Great review
Here is what it looks like
I went to my Best Buy but they didnt have the Otterbox yet.. I had already preordered one on Amazon.. Does it still have a protector built in for the camera? Also can you take a picture of the phone on its side vs the case on its side?
No it does not

Can you post a side by side comparison of the phone with the case and the phone without?

I'm surprised the defender has a slot for the kickstand. I think the OG Evo did not have one.

The Otterbox Defender for the OG had it's own plastic kickstand that covered the phone's kickstand.
I am surprised too that the LTE's defender case uses the phone's kickstand.
I would have liked to have seen a rubber cover, similar to the port covers,over the top of the kickstand.

Sorry it took a while for me to post these pics but here they are
here is a better quality
Thanks for the pictures!
How does the phone feel with the case on it? It looks bulky as hell. XD
looks huge. all these cases are friggin huge, how can they fit in your pocket comfortably.
yeah it does but I need it because I do have the habbit of dropping my phone alot
its bulky just waiting for the commuter to release might want to get that as well
I batter my phones a lot being a firefighter. They go in pockets with a ton of stuff in them. I always get the defender in case if I drop it from the aerial when doing events or something (which I have done and I do believe the case has saved my phone) plus it comes with the belt holster that doesn't come with any other OB case.
The rubber is new and better imo its not the lint sucking rubber from defenders past the port covers work better also

They didn't have the Otterbox when I picked up my phone yesterday.
I went to the same Best Buy today with my Buddy to pick up his and they had them in stock.
Got them to give it to me for $40.
I like the bulk it adds.
The phone felt so Fragile to me and now it feels like a tank!
The only downfall the Kickstand is hard to access.
I just wanted to let everyone know that Trident cases are now available for the Evo LTE. Right now they have the Kraken and Cyclops.
Do you know if their making an Aegis? Really liked my Aegis on the Epic Touch.
Sent from my HTC Evo LTE
I'm a little disappointed with the kraken case. Not a fan of the kickstand. Looks weak to me. I'll stick with my defender.

Not sure. I don't think the Cyclops is significantly more bulky than the Aegis though, so you might want to try the Cyclops.

I've never tried that case before. Is it one single piece or two pieces like the Otterbox commuter? I really like how it looks

Three actually. Imagine if the otterbox commuter had a piece that attached to the front of the phone, to help protect the speaker and front facing camera, and hold everything together better. It was three pieces for my evo 3d, and I'm assuming it is three for the LTE too.
The cases aren't available yet unfortunately
In their fb page they said that they were updating their website and the cases were accidently showing they were available. Been waiting for the cases a long time and a lot of people aren't happy that they're delaying the cases. Just read their wall on fb.

I'm retracting my prior support for the Defender. In two months mine has grown misshapen and is now loose in both the back and around the top edged. The usb cover didn't make it more than a month. Otterbox has sent a replacement but it seems pretty clear this is a recurring problem for many. [I have a Commuter arriving later today].
My Otterbox Commuter has treated me well. I did break the thin piece by the volume bar. But I called up Otterbox and followed their instructions and received a new case in the mail for free.
Otterbox = Legit
