It's actually cheaper now. http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-HYBRID-GE...148672?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item20bac0c3c0
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghts:
eBay for around $3 and other colors are available.
[HTC EVO 3D] jorts:
does tpu-cases send a notification when the item is shipped or u just wait to see it show up in the mail?
[HTC EVO 3D] rhg84:
Ordered mine around 1pm CST and it shipped the same day. Got the tracking number at 2am. Very impressive turn around.
[HTC EVO 3D] jorts:
they are probably backed up with orders, been about 26 hours since i ordered and haven't heard anything about shipping so was just getting curious. thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] funkyboy1281:
Ohh I like how that case looks and for the price I think I'm gonna get one.
[HTC EVO 3D] dvanburen:
You can login on their site and check. My order from yesterday shipped today.
[HTC EVO 3D] jorts:
yup, shipped today. guess they don't send a shipping confirmation after all. thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
Quick shoutout to xSDMx and TPU-Cases...I was lucky enough to win one of these. Can't wait til it gets here. I'll take some pics when it does.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
Yes we send tracking numbers for the days orders nightly around midnight. If you order before 3:00PM CST your order ships the same day. Also, the Smoke Matte and Cyan Matte cases are in stock at Amazon now with Prime/Super Saver shipping. Black will be there tomorrow evening, "Android Green" wont be there until Friday.

Regarding the S Style TPU case post earlier in the thread. I ordered one as well, very nice quality. Cutouts are perfect too. Does seem a bit thinner then our cases, maybe not though. I do think the volume button is a bit more difficult to press then on our cases, however the power button is very easy to press. Also the camera button isnt covered, which some people may like but I dont. It's definitely a good case though and the price is great, but they always are when you order direct from china. Many people (myself included) like to support American businesses and prefer to get their orders delivered in 2 days instead of 20 :) Actually that S style case arrived very quickly, but you never know with china post how long it will take.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
Yes, we do, we just don't send them until midnight as the tracking numbers generally don't work until then anyways. I'd actually like to send them earlier to customers but the software I'm using doesn't give me that option.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
Just ordered a glossy smoke case from Amazon, really looking forward to it. Any idea what the average number of days it takes to arrive is, I'm in Texas if it matters?

[HTC EVO 3D] lyric911:
I bought the argyle case from tpu-cases.com and I hated the camera button covering. I could not tell at all if I was half pressed or fully press. It removed all fine sensation from what is one of the best camera shutter buttons I've ever used (and that includes SLR and DSLRs).

I attempted a removal of the covering with an exacto knife. The button feel is back, but it now looks like hell. I think the only buttons that should be covered are the volume buttons, at least for this phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyric911:
Just to be clear - who has a TPU case in which the camera button isn't covered?

Edit: Found out what you meant by S-style. Ugh. Don't want that either. Perhaps some clean up work to my camera button cut out will help.
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghts:
I'm with you Lyric911, I don't like the camera button covered up. Messed up to many photo by pressing too hard and moving the phone. There is no feel for the button at all. That's why I ordered the hybrid S-line.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyric911:
I went ahead and ordered two of the S ones too - black and white. For $5 bucks for the pair even if they suck I don't mind much. I'd love to see the Argyle one I have now from tpu-cases.com be identical to the S one's camera button area, but otherwise unchanged from how it's shipped.
[HTC EVO 3D] kn1ghts:
This one has the camera button cutout and they are a US seller, but they only have the black one. Link
[HTC EVO 3D] akrod2as:
Just got my argyle case from tpu and it seems the camera holes aren't centered. Is this normal? I thought I read it was happening and was rectified with a revised version. Please advise onestepahead. Thx
[HTC EVO 3D] enjoikr3w:
I just received the matte smoke case from TPU cases. I was very surprised how quickly it came (ordered off his website). I was a little hesitant about the matte/gloss combo in these cases but it looks sick in person. Great case!
[HTC EVO 3D] tablo:
Mine shipped yesterday. I really hope that it gets here by Saturday because I'm going out of town that night.
[HTC EVO 3D] HiredGUN.45:
Just received my TPU case in the mail

Ordered the matte back Black from tpu-cases when it became available on Tuesday morning and received it the mail today, Thursday. Only took 2 days to get to Los Angeles. IMO, looks great and fits well. Texture is nice, good feel when holding it but smooth enough to get in/out of the pocket yet not too grippy to snag on clothing. Camera button is covered but for me it works fine.

I have the iGrip dock and if you remove the plastic insert, the evo 3D with a tpu case fits perfectly into it.
[HTC EVO 3D] tablo:
Thanks HG. Sounds like mine should get here before I leave. I ordered the same case but on Tues afternoon.
[HTC EVO 3D] HiredGUN.45:
I think if you order it before 3pm cst he ships it out same day so I guess you should get yours tomorrow. FYI, there's a heavy piece of cardboard behind the plastic wrap on the tpu-case (hence the reason for the rubber band in my pic). I believe it's there to prevent any bending or crushing of the case when it's being shipped.
[HTC EVO 3D] jerbeck24:
I just ordered the smoke matte case from tpu-cases.com. Figured I'd try that one out and if I like it, I'll probably order a couple more! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] camdz:
Another positive review for the matte smoked case. I love mine. I really want the matte black too but like how you can see the red camera bezel and "htc" through the smoked.

Mine only took two days to reach Kansas. It was ordered through amazon but shipped from tpu-cases.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
The Argyle ones have not been fixed completely. The holes were enlarged making it look slightly better then the first revision though. The ones that are 100% fixed (revision 3) are now in stock on amazon and our website in the following: smoke, matte smoke, black, matte black, matte cyan, and matte "android green". Everything else is currently either revision 1 or 2. I'll have revision 3 smoke argyle and smoke GeoTPU probably the last week of the month. You can wait until then and I'll send a replacement, or I can send you one of the other cases we have in stock now. Just send me a PM.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
Yes, for that reason and also to make the package slightly thicker. USPS requires packages with delivery confirmation to be at least 3/4 thick, although many sellers ignore that rule (and run the risk of the packages being returned) I've debated on using bubble mailers but I have had maybe .01% of orders be damaged using this shipping method. Less waste in our landfills too!
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
Anyone else receive their matte cases? Whats your opinion on them? I'm personally very pleased with how they turned out. If you are as well, I'd appreciate you leaving a review for them on Amazon. As a thank you for doing so I will give you a 50% discount code that can be used on our website for a future order. Just shoot me a PM with the link to the review you left. There is no requirement that you leave a 5 star review but of course I'd love it if you did :D Also this isn't limited to the matte cases, you can leave a review for any of our evo 3d cases. If there are any other colors you'd like to see made let me know in your PM. If enough people request the same color I'll probably make it. Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] HiredGUN.45:
Any possibility of a one off or special order case color? If you could make a Evo 3D tpu case in Porsche Speed Yellow to match my car that would be cool. Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] OutdoorOBW:
Ordered the matte cyan the other day and it shipped yesterday. As soon as I get it ill post some pictures and a review of it on amazon.
[HTC EVO 3D] jorts:
still playing the waiting game on my matte black, but if we leave a review here:

http://www.resellerratings.com/store/survey/TPU_Cases_16 can we get a 50% off code as well?
[HTC EVO 3D] catpunt:
just got this one: http://goo.gl/VvqEk

it's pretty decent, has kind of strange textures to it, like fake otterbox

but i think it's a little thinner than my other tpu case and the power button and volume rocker is easier to click

the cutouts are decent, some slightly off center but no obstruction

but it was only $3 shipped! took about a week and a half
[HTC EVO 3D] raabusmc:
Just got this aluminum case and am loving it. Its on eBay and comes with a cheap but surprisingly excellent screen protection.
[HTC EVO 3D] BamAlmighty:
Glad I got the glossy smoked case from tpu-cases.

I dropped my phone between the seat and center console. If it wasn't for the case the camera lens would have been scratched from getting wedge against the sharp edge of the seat frame. The case has a nice cut, but the camera lens is still crystal.

Anybody not rocking a case is kidding themselves.
[HTC EVO 3D] Bigirish:
Holy crap, I dig that case! Who's the seller?

[HTC EVO 3D] walkingcorpse:
I just received my Smoke GeoTPU yesterday, is this one going to be the newest revision? The camera holes are slightly off, more on the top camera than the bottom, but I don't see a huge problem with it.
[HTC EVO 3D] rockypr:
Wrong thread LOL, that is a aluminum hard case, NOT a TPU...

But... It looks ****ing amazing
[HTC EVO 3D] tablo:
Damn didn't receive mine in the mail today.looks like I'll be traveling without a. Case. TT
[HTC EVO 3D] Gordon Ramsay:
Edit : tpu-cases is awesome sauce.
[HTC EVO 3D] MCLFLN:
Matte Black and Smoke TPU Cases

Just got them in the mail. Out of the 2 I prefer the black.

I really like the cases - only flaws I can find are the holes for the camera are better but still not perfect.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
On which cases? The holes on all the matte cases are 100% perfect, the latest high gloss black, high gloss smoke cases are also perfect. If you have one of those cases and its not aligned perfect then you may want to double check that the case is seated on the phone properly, sometimes you just need to tug it to one side. If for some reason you received one that is not perfect send me a PM and I'll fix it.

Also, I just reduced the price on all of our cases on Amazon and the website to $7.95 for the weekend. Would really love it if someone posted a review for the matte black as it has no reviews on Amazon and isn't selling that well. The high gloss black for example is outselling it today 20 to 1 :eek:
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
Has anyone tried the Case-Mate Tough for the Evo 3D? I have the Pop right now and it's pretty nice, but it doesnt work in my iGrip car dock. It's also bugging me that the camera area isnt well proteced. Adds quite a bit of size to the phone too, but its a sharp looking case. The pictures for the case-mate tough dont really show it in much detail.
[HTC EVO 3D] MCLFLN:
I have your matte black and smoke cases.

I will try tugging on the sides and see if I can get it right.
[HTC EVO 3D] po96od:
I used the Tough Case for a few weeks before switching to something a little slimmer. The Tough is really a very good case, but ultimately it just added more size and weight to the phone than really worked for me. An xda poster named minieod posted a series of pictures here in the course of this thread a while back.
[HTC EVO 3D] dvanburen:
I received my Android Green, Cyan and Smoke matte cases yesterday. I have to say, my wife loves the Cyan and the Android Green is on my phone for the foreseeable future. There is a bit of flashing around one corner, but a razor blade will make short work of that. Now, if only they had a TPU case with a kickstand...
[HTC EVO 3D] camdz:
Im going to have to pick up a matte black. I will gladly leave a review.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Ordered a matte black case as well. Any plans for any more clear cases, either matte or glossy? I notice that's one omission from the lineup right now.

EDIT: Reviewed the matte black case. Hope it lives up to the standards of other cases, because I preemptively reviewed it for you.
[HTC EVO 3D] camdz:
I did the same. After receiving the smoked matte case, I figured it has to be equally as nice. So I based my review off of that.
[HTC EVO 3D] NexuGsx:
I received my gloss black case from TPU-Cases and, except for the top camera hole being off (from what I've heard this has been fixed with the newer batches), it's awesome. The feel of the case is where I get picky: Too slick and it's easy to drop, too sticky and I can't get it out of my pocket. This material seems to be the best of both worlds: It can slip out of your pocket easily, but it has grip with your fingers. Without a case on the phone, I had trouble adjusting volume (it seems like you had to hit the button at the correct angle in order to hit the switch), which seems easier now.

EDIT: TPU-Cases is sending me a replacement! AWESOME customer service!
[HTC EVO 3D] jorts:
still waiting for my matte black from tpu-cases. kind of surprising how long it's taking to get here. shipped on 13th. on USPS the expected delivery date says 16th and still not here...i thought today would be the absolute worst case scenario.
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
Got my Smoke High Gloss case from tpu-cases.com today and this thing kicks ass. My only minor complaint is that I wish the power button cutout was centered a little more but I'm just nitpicking.
[HTC EVO 3D] jorts:
well my package was supposedly shipped on the 13th. still not here. tpu-cases says it was either lost or the label was torn. now time to wait some more for the replacement to be shipped....

maybe one day i will have this case in my hand. hopefully before my trip to las vegas on sunday...
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
LOL I love the tpu kicks the **** outta the defender :D top best protection would either be kraken or ballistic if u want a brick that you can you beat someone senseless with and still make a phone call when ur done :D blood and all :D
[HTC EVO 3D] sling:
Received matte black today many thanks to TPU for getting me taken care of.

Excellent customer service to go with prefect case A+ in my book.

It fits device perfect , looks great easy slip in & out of pocket my 3D has new life its a keeper.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Lol its a family based company good people keep there word on things good product to :D
[HTC EVO 3D] jerbeck24:
Got my matte smoke case from tpu-cases.com and the thing is freakin' awesome! Best case I've had for any phone so far! Slides in and out of my pocket nicely and I like that you can see through it a little and see the HTC and the camera. Fits like a glove on this phone, but is easy to put on and take off.

The only TINY thing I can see is the cut out for the power button is slightly off (maybe it's supposed to be?). Still can easily be pressed and used, just me being very picky I guess.

This case won't be coming off this phone while I have it unless I decide to buy another case or two like this, just in different colors. I would recommend this case to anyone!
[HTC EVO 3D] squick:
I have this one as well but in blue and silver. I originally bought one from the seller that has the package options with the screen protectors and optional batteries. I got the one with 2 batteries, external charger, case and screen protectors but I'm returning them.

First problem I had was that the case was scratched and the protectors were warped and wouldn't sit flat on the phone. Then I came across a thread talking about the cheap batteries on Ebay. It said that they are actually 1000 not 1800. It said if you pull back the label you can see the original stamping on the batt.

I wrote the seller and he's a complete ass. I then found another seller that has the same cases, just the case, for $5.29 and in many colors. The seller is very polite and easy to deal with.

Just my 2 cents! The TPU cases are the best though as far as protection.
[HTC EVO 3D] tablo:
Same here. Mine says it was shipped on the 13th. I still have not received it.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
I'm looking into this issue about the 13th. I can run a batch scan for the day but it only shows me a total piece count as to which packages are delivered, which ones are in transit, and then the "other" category. 168 were delivered, 6 are in route, and 12 are listed as "other". The problem is there is no way to see which packages these 12 are. I now have to go through and manually track each individual shipment to see which ones are problems. :eek: I'm not sure what happened, but I will definitely send replacements to anyone who is affected. So far I've only heard from 2 people.
[HTC EVO 3D] tablo:
Thanks for looking into it. Sounds like the post office fudged things up somehow on that day. In any case, tpu support has been great and I don't attribute the delay to them.
[HTC EVO 3D] test878:
Yeah I'm in one of the 'other' categories. According to the tracking (which i didnt check till today) the case got sent to 'MADISON, WI 53711' Which isnt my address. I live in virginia, and confirmed my order was submitted with the correct address.

Anyways, I got the new email (sent earlier today) with the new tracking number, and ill follow that more closely. Thanks for correcting the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
Thanks for the understanding. I believe I've contacted everyone from that day now that has a missing package. If your package was sent on the 13th (and you haven't received it ) and you haven't received an email from me please contact me. 12 out of the 183 packages we shipped that day are missing. All of them have acceptance scans at the Madison, WI post office and then no tracking info after that. We have this happen a couple times a week (out of say 2000 shipments) but never have I had 12 in one day. I'll have to talk with the post office about it when I drop off the days orders, but I doubt they will be much help. Such unhappy people working at the post office! I'm there every evening and I still struggle to get a "hello" out of them. Actually there is 1 guy thats pretty nice, but the other employees all seem very bitter. I guess it's not the best work environment. I guess this is why they go "postal" :D
[HTC EVO 3D] OneStepAhead:
I get a lot of customers that think that, actually what the tracking information says is the package was accepted/picked up in Madison, WI, not sent to Madison, WI. This is where we ship from.

The "electronic info received" is when we printed the label, the "Shipment Accepted" is when it was dropped off at the post office.
[HTC EVO 3D] OutdoorOBW:
When did your order your case? I ordered on July 13th and just got mine in the mail today.

Also I got the matte cyan blue case. I'm not sure how I like the camera button covered but I'll give it a few days before I make a decision. I'll also get on amazon and leave a review.
[HTC EVO 3D] Razgriz:
Just got my red and Android green cases in today from TPU-Cases. Probably the best TPU cases I've ever had. The red is a series one, and I was told of the camera overlay, but there hardly is any and it doesn't affect the camera at all. The picture of the honey bear is with the red case on.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Got the black and smoke matte cases today. Now I got a TPU case for every day of the week. Do I win the best customer ever award yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] aliatgb:
I received my matte black case today and its not bad.

Few grips:

Its not all matte, kind of annoyed the rim around the front of the phone is glossy. I did not notice it in the pictures but now that I know I can see it in the pictures. Not a big deal, just unexpected really.

I really wish the camera button was not covered, it makes pressing it MUCH harder. I might punch out a hole myself but I don't really want to **** it up.
[HTC EVO 3D] retnuh730:
Did that before, the frayed edges of the case drove me crazy. I don't recommend doing it.
[HTC EVO 3D] test878:
Night of the 12th, sent out the 13th. Like I said before, already got an email from tpu-cases with a new tracking order and gift for the delay. I would assume they went through the list and found out which ones were not received and I was one of them. If I do somehow get the original one, I'll return to sender like they requested, as I do not really need 3 cases.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyric911:
I did as well. If you use a sharp enough knife and take your time and make small cuts (hint: You can always cut more but you can't really put a cut piece back on) you can make it nice and smooth.
[HTC EVO 3D] jorts:
Finally received my "matte black" case from tpu-cases after a long wait. First thing you notice is its not actually matte black, its a hybrid case shiney gloss black and matte combo. Seller should probably update the description on his site to reflect what the case actually is. Otherwise, it seems like a decent case.
[HTC EVO 3D] 0mie:
More colors in-stock now, camera and button are cut out
[HTC EVO 3D] fowenati:
I'd love to see what the cases look like with the phone on it since they are transparent, also how the ones that dont cover the camera add a small buffer (i want to see if the lens itself will would sit on a table)
[HTC EVO 3D] freeza:
I have the white TPU case with what looks like a Samsung Galaxy style S on the back and it is easily the best TPU case I have. The smoke one is pretty cool too but this white one is much better.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Postal was a good game lol :D any ways great case stood up to a 4 foot drop on the camera of my phone lol got knocked outta my hand hit the hard wood floor so hard I swear it was gonna be broken picked it up my lucky ass the cameras are fine and safe .

My Sprint store is a pain in the ass to deal with management sucks and its a corp store.

Thanks again man .
[HTC EVO 3D] 0mie:
I don't have an EVO 3D unfortunately :(
[HTC EVO 3D] osker83:
I also have the white s style case.. I like this one than the blk one.. it feels great and looks good :-)

-Sent from my HTC EVO 3D using XDA premium app
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
What millimeter are these cases. I bought on from eBay and its still thick. I have one for my Evo 4g I bought at the mall and its thin. I'd say about a millimeter. Made by Luxmo.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
I bought the clear argyl TPU case from an eBay seller based in California and it too had misalignment on the camera hole which was fine but when I took pictures in dim or dark room the images had this halo imprinted on the images. Like the image below. It didn't do it without the case. I think it has to do with how the led flash is absorbing through the case into the camera lens.

So I decided to cut the camera cover out with a blade and dremmeled it smooth. I also did the camera button since it made it harder to press the camera button. Much better now. I may buy the flat black or smoke and do the same.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I got the smoke tpu case from tpu-cases.com... Great case btw but it took a while to get here.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Looks like Overstock carries the Luxmo brand that I got for my Evo 4g which is super thin. Just purchased ones for my Evo 3d. I'm hoping it's just as thin. What I also like is the entire camera portion is cut out so I know I wont suffer from the halo I experienced with the previous clear TPU case I bought and this one has the camera button cut out so I dont need to cut either holes. I will post pics when I get it my smoke colored one from them.
