Over the years have realized that I can't stand using a case. Especially with the beautiful note 3.
Anyone else just keep it in their pocket like me and hope for the best?

i will use a spigen neo or slim armour whichever i like more if they ever come in ugh and as far as screen protectors i havent had on a device in years. got a spigen in already and going to try it but it may come off the same day i put it on lol
I just swap out the battery door for a metal one.
I tried a plastic bumper on my note 2 and it just trapped dirt and made it scuff up the edge faster

Oh man I feel the same way. I love how the phone looks on its own without a case.
However if I did drop it and break it ill never forgive myself lol:laugh:
maybe ill just get a bumper
I can't stand cases. If it's a polycarbonate/plastic phone cases no makes now sense.
If it's a metal phone like iPhone/HTC one, then you sacrifice the sweet touch of aluminium on Ur phone.
Hate screen cases even more cos it adds so many steps in reaching upto the screen.
It's a phone for God's sake. You don't buy a BMW Z4 and cover it with plastic while driving.
I love to feel the aluminium and glass and hence no case no screen protector. That's the reason I guess we pay extra for Gorilla Glass.

Me too, can't understand why everyone is buying expensive cases, phone get's thicker etc.
In case you drop your phone a case is helpful, I agree to that. But, no risk, no fun.
Also with Gorilla Glass 3 there is no need for any screen protectors.

Its the same principle as using a condom...It might be more enjoyable without one but do you really want to take that chance of something bad happening?

No case, but have squaretrade warranty.
No case here as well as no screen protector.
My wellsfargo credit card comes with free accidental insurance when I pay my phone bill with the card. It allows up to 2 claims per year and only have to pay $25 per claim. That's cheaper than paying for a good case and screen protector.
Currently naked (love the feel), but got a bumper off eBay coming soon.
Same here, no case but mandatory clear screen protector :thumbup:

Naked Here ..
I paid a LOT of money for this phone and I guess part of that is for the design.. It doesn't make sense to hid this beauty with some plastic .. saving the phone for the next buyer..
Well, when I do go naked it tends to get noticed more, and the police don't look upon it too kindly either
Seriously though, the first phone that "I went naked" with, was my Note 2. It got battered, so considering I've spent £100 more on this bad boy, I've given it a TPU condom
But just waiting for Spigen to make the slim armour case (or whatever it's called) then will give it some all round yet, svelte protection.

Don't you think Gorilla Glass 3 is already sufficient? Adding extra stuff on the screen degrades the image quality.

This.. And I dont use cases. Just look at the phone with one on makes it look so much think, ugly and down right crap. (Reminds me of bumber iphone cases) and it gets grit, dust and all sorts of crap in it the case. Just relax, use the phone as intended and don't keep it brand new looking in a case for the next owner. Enjoy it yourself.
You dont by a new car then keep the seat plastics and door transport plastics on it...No you use it as intended .
This phone cost 5500kr (990 USD) In Denmark (thanks Danish tax etc.) so I'm going for a thin bumper and a clear screen protector
No screen protector but I have to use a case or I get nervous, I'm very careful but I've had it slide in the car a couple of times and between seats where it would have been marred had no case been on it. I do take the case off when I'm relaxing at home to admire it tho lol. I use a clear case btw so I can see the back and it is hard gel providing more grip.
I won't think about going naked until full body protectors come out. Even though it doesn't protect from drops, at least it'll protect it from scratches.

Can you guys give me any recommendations on any good strong cases and screen protectors, that will stay on even if they are dropped. A link to the website would be good also. I was thinking of getting a screen protector that is like a mirror, where you can see yourself when the phone is not on.
Thanks a lot!
In my opinion, the otterbox is the best. theres a whole thread in this section about them. I've had mine for a while and its held up pretty well. I dropped it twice already and nothing happened to the phone or case. The case didn't even come apart at all.
here is a link to the case
http://www.otterbox.com/mytouch-3g-slide-cases/mytouch-3g-slide-cases,default,sc.html
just got my otterbox today. FREAKING LOVE IT.
You don't get that sound from the case moving around while you're holding your phone.
It's really snug, thinner than other cases. And it's tough.

Yup. Otterbox +1. My wife bought the Body Glove type one from T-mo 2 days after she got her slide and lost the front cover 2 days after that. The Otterbox uses thinner but slightly bigger tabs with better plastic. The tabs don't inhibit the slide action as much, grip better because of the larger surface area, and are stronger because the plastic isn't as brittle.
The only downside is that it was a little bit harder to put on than the Body Glove one, but it only took a few minutes of being patient and attentive to detail.
Body Glove Kickstand Case - deceased
I had the Body Glove case w/kickstand on my phone... it worked well for me until I needed to open up my back cover. One removal was all it took and one of the tabs was gone. I took my time and was gentle with it as well.. the tab just seemed a little too brittle for any removal/reinstall once it was initially installed. I don't have a case on it now, but am interested in the Otterbox one that seems pretty highly praised.

With the otterbox I only had to take it off a couple times, the battery door came with it instead lol. I have no idea how to take it off without feeling like I'm breaking the phone.
I just got my Otterbox case yesterday. I like it, sturdy and durable. I bought it from Amazon for a nice price. I just don't understand why phone cases don't have clips or something to put them on your waist. I don't put phones in my pockets much since I usually have stuff in them.
I might have to get a OtterBox now... The only thing keeping me is a case makes it feel quite bulky. If I can get passed that then I'm sold after hearing so much praise about the OtterBox.

I'm not a big fan of mirrored screen protectors. From what I've seen, they really alter the way the screen looks when it's actually on, and I don't think it's worth the mirror effect. There may be some which do not do this, but I'm yet to see one.
are there any mirror/reflective/chrome style cases, skins, covers, anything like that for the slide?

I have a mirrored screen protector and it really does alter the refraction of colors. It is not unbarable, but I have ordered a clear one. An added note: the mirrored screen protector requires you to brighten your display more and thus use more battery. If you still want a mirrored protector go to wirelessemporium.com. like 6 bucks and free shipping.

On your brand new EVO LTE. I see so many people get these ZOMGCOPTER cases that are bullet proof and rapture proof. Do not get a case that directly touches your phone without a rubber insulator. Otterbox is awesome. They use a nice rubber in between your phone and their plastic case. Plastic clips still clutch at your phone and will scratch the four corners that they do touch over time.
Do us all a favor and buy a TPU or nice gel case on ebay for $3 in two weeks. Your phone will last until then.
I made the horrible mistake of using a plastic case on my OG Epic the day it came out. Yeah your remember. The Sprint case that was chrome and had a leather middle piece. It looked pimp. In fact it was. It made my phone it's ho. Plastic to plastic = scratches all around the edge of my phone.
Use a rubber ladies and gentlemen.
If your me, you don't use anything, but with the new upcoming changes to Sprint's TEP program, you may want to consider an awesome case and drop that coverage. Research it, unless you want to pay more come June.
That is all.

No that part is fine, the plastic area; not so much.
My otterbox has no rubber except the outer covering. The trick to not scratching your phone while in a case is to keep dirt out of it, which the otterbox does extremely well.
"ZOMGCOPTER"
What's that?
I don't understand why people buy covers and screen protectors at all.
1. The glass is IMPOSSIBLE to scratch. It will NOT scratch. The lame plastic cover will, and will look stupid.
2. A scratched thin phone looks infinitely better than a perfect phone that's inside of a huge case.
Your phone is worth nothing in 24 months, enjoy it.

Exactly I used a case for all of 2 weeks with my og Evo and a screen protector for about 3 hours. Never put anything on my 3D and both phones were fine. I just hate that cases make buttons less functional and screen protectors blah nothing beats finger to glass.

If you drop your phone on its corner while it is in a case, most likely, the case is the only thing that gets damaged. Not always, but most likely. After the newness wears off on the phone and you start putting it in your pocket with your keys, the screen will eventually get scratched.
Buy a decent case and screen protector and you can't go wrong. I personally love the Clarivue screen protectors. Static cling. Cases, I haven't found any that impress me but I haven't had an OtterBox.
Well the case that sprint is going to sell with the eco looks decent. But then again I didn't open it

I would love to go naked in my phone but o know the minute I do I will drop it and it will shatter ..I try to buy very minimal cases. But as the op said plastic on phone does scratch ..I have an evo 3d and bought a plastic case that was two pieces..top and bottom that would slide together in the middle and click..it also had a dandy kickstand built in ..its a nice case but I flashed the **** out of that phone so needless to say I was pulling that case often to remove the battery ..after a while all the paint around the edge of the screen had come of ..it looked fine in the case but looked terrible when I took it off..not a prob now since the digitizer went back and I just got jt replaced ..and the replacement speaker is bad..so I have another waiting at Sprint ..I enjoyed my evo 3d and think it got a bad rap but I did go through like 4 before I had one that lasted me 9 months
Always keys on left, phone on right.
Since I like charging on a dock I wanted a simple pull off case, so I got a case mate one piece case, (just to protect the back and camera lense), and a bodyguard screen protector. Best screen protector I've ever used.

Most of my pants have pockets inside of pockets. Since I am a firefighter, i do sometimes have my phone on scene and it tends to go through a beating throughout its life. All my phones have a OtterBox defender (would get lifeline if they got smart and went ouside of just crApple products) with a screen protector that gets replaced about every 3 months.
I took my screen off the case and screen protector the other day and 1 of my co-workers asked if my new phone came in yet. It looks brand spanking new minus a tiny barely noticeable scratch on the screen.

I agree with the sentiment. I go naked
However, gorilla glass most certainly can scratch if you're not careful. Been rocking my OG Epic for 18 months naked, and I'm really careful, but somehow I did acquire a few minor scratches on the screen. I can only assume I had sand in my pocket or something.
okay. I'm not looking at cases for now, and I would rather want my phone naked. HOWEVER, I'm still scared to have it completely naked. I have ordered screen protector from sgp, and I wonder which one I should get between Zagg's full body invisible shield and SGP Crumena leather pouch.
Zagg invisible shield can keep the same original look of the phone and prevent the scratch. http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-evo-4g-lte-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
SGP Crumena leather pouch can make me feel and look the sleekness of the phone when I use, and it.can keep my phone from scratches when it's in my purse. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc/evo-4g-lte/htc-evo-4g-lte-crumena-leather-pouch-series.html
Not sure which one is better. What do you all think?
There's no reason why you can't have both. However if it does come down to one or the other, I recommend the invisibleShield. I've used them on countless devices (two blackberries, my old iPod, three previous phones, my tablets and not to mention the installations I did for family and friends) and out of all of those I've only had ONE scratch (and I had it replaced for free) but it did save the screen on my device.
The pouch is also nice because it will keep dust and other stuff off your phone and it might even protect it a bit if you (oh, please don't let this happen) drop it. However the shield is permanently on, meaning it will always protect you from scratches. You'll only have it in the pouch when you are not using it.
I stay away from anything named Zagg. Ugly rubber junk.

I don't know about the full body protection as I've only ever used the screen protector but I'd buy Zagg again in a heartbeat. you're not going to use the phone in the pouch... most of the time you drop it, i guarantee it won't be in the pouch.

I've actually had them leave residue in the past. That was the thing that made me try other brands that led me to realize Zagg was one of the worst products on the market, just marketed well. I just don't understand why anyone would use a product that destroys screen clarity and feel as much as Zagg does.

I am using the Skinomi full body. It took time to put on, but it was easy to do. I wanted to protect my phone from scratches when I didn't want to use a case. The HTC logo on the back took about 3 days to fill in, but it did completely. Skinomi customer service is fantastic. They sent me out a replacement for the screen protector because of a defect and did not want the defective one sent back the way zagg does. Also, the screen protector self heals where I found that zagg hd does not. I have had pouches un the past, but ended up not using them because I found them to be a pain. I bought a few cruzerlites in different colors as well as the matte black Diztronic just for extra protection when I'm at the pool, etc. These cases are fantastic,very thin, and it's fun to change around the colors. I hope this helps.

screen protector
I work in a machine shop, so i get shavings as well
On my BB the chips would get into the speaker and cause problems
I use best skins ever protector without any case and have not had problems.
easy install, smooth feel works great
http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-rezound-skin
that's interesting, is it just a plastic shield for front and back?
If bulk is not an issue, I'd suggest getting the Otterbox Defender case. I has a built-in screen protector and will make it pretty hard to damage your new phone. Check them out here....

By the way, you can find them cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. I have no affiliation with any of the companies mentioned in this post.
I agree with mefloump, I just purchased the Otterbox Defender and it works great. I highly recommend it.
I've been looking at it too. I have someone else with one on an iphone. Nice cases.
Check out the ZaggShield. Definitely my favorite.
will def give those a look at. I was a little concerned about "bulk" how bulky is it? Like I keep my phone in my pocket (non saggy/baggy) am I going to have problems fishing it out? lol

IMO, I don't think you will be able to get it in your pocket with the defender case. It comes with a holster though. Personally I use the body glove case because it is slim fitting.

your best bet is zagg! order online for 16 or 17 buck + shipping, but it is a lifetime replacement if anything happens to it
Not sure if it was suggested but get the Zagg screen protector and pop out the screen protector that comes with the Defender case. You'll be pretty protected.
Phones: HTC Droid Incredible // HTC Rezound (current)
I would look into ghost armor if I was you. They are the best screen protection I have ever found but I wouldnt order one and put it on yourself, they put it in a littlte hot box to cook it to the screen. Amazing feel, almost cant tell its there, and they do a little demo by intentionally scratching it with car keys and what not with no damage.
I've been pretty happy with tpu cases, very thin yet durable. I've actually dropped it a few times with no problems. And to top it all off I just got one off eBay for about $2.. I also use the cheap screen protectors because they feel smooth and if I scratch them it's not the end of the world.

I had the issue with metal shavings even if I put in a small ziplock bag.

Thats funny you say that. I am a field tech with Yale, the yellow forklift company, and thats actually what I did too for the first couple of months of owning the Rezound. I carried that sucker around everywhere with it inside of one of those little parts ziplock type bags from work.

i have the same type of case and i very pleased with it. just search for s curve on ebay
Anyone have some experience with it? I think that protection is great, but what with signal (3G, GPS, WiFi) ? I've seen some complainings about that. So if somebody use that case, please tell me if those problems are unnoticeable, or if they are big.

I just bought one. I speak chinese and have been chit chatting with the seller for a few hours now. Very good folks. It should have the problems of that other love mei case solved. I'll post a review when it shows up.
This case is a BEAST I bought it from geek buying . Com same quality. I never have problems with connectivity. And before you believe someone saying they can't access their spen simply put the case on THEN slide in the spen. It sections around it. Buy the case you won't regret it!!!

I have the two piece type love mei bumper. I never noticed any signal problems, but I never used my phone without it so I can't really compare. The bumper feels bigger than I was expecting, but if you make it thinner, then there will be too much flex so it becomes not practical. I also dropped mine once on concrete garage floor, and got a small scratch. My screen has tempered glass protector so no scratch there. Back plate is oem Qi back cover, and it is a little thicker than the bumper itself camera so camera is protected as well.
I bought one to protect my phone and my only complaint would be having to take it out of the case to do a battery pull. The case is a beast. Also, don't use any self healing screen protector between the glass screens! I almost broke my case thing to remove my phone the first time. I had to use a pry tool to separate the two screens.
