I'll live with my purple Case Logic tri-way kickstand case (offered by sprint). Luckily I can pull off purple because I'm manly, lol.

I like that it is smooth, too, as that helps it slip in and out of my jeans pocket.
[HTC EVO 3D] louforgiveno:
corrected...
[HTC EVO 3D] Sh0wNuF:
Because that is the point of gorilla glass. Gorilla glass has a hardness rating of 7, making it impossible for your keys to scratch it. Quartz/sand are about the only things that people can run into on a normal day that will scratch gorilla glass, I had an epic since launch day and now the EVO 3s and I've never gotten a single scratch on my gorilla glass screen. I've even tried to scratch it with my keys to show co workers that it is scratch proof
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
WRONG. From Corning's own site: "Gorilla Glass features exceptional damage resistance to the scratches, drops, and bumps of everyday use."

I've seen Gorilla Glass take a pounding and come out unscathed, but I've also seen it scratch easily and also completely shatter upon impact.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sh0wNuF:
I fail to see where the quote from cornings sight says that I'm wrong. Look up gorilla glass test on YouTube and you will see that things like nails and keys won't scratch it. Also, if you drop a phone and lands a certain way is gonna shatter no matter what, I've seen phones fall from 4-6 feet and be fine and also seen a drop from less than a foot break the screen
[HTC EVO 3D] PRELUDE777:
they did not fail on creating a hole for a second microphone, watch a youtube video provided above.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
Do you understand the difference between RESISTANT and SCRATCH PROOF? And yes, keys can scratch Gorilla Glass, I've done it. Quit being a fanboy and deal with the fact that Gorilla Glass is not indestructible.
[HTC EVO 3D] JokeZony0u:
I've posted about this case over a month ago lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Sh0wNuF:
When have I ever said it is scratch proof? I said it has a hardness rating of 7 so keys shouldn't be scratching gorilla glass, I'm sure if you are absolutely determined to **** the screen up, as you seem to be, then you can.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KvV43T0_Gg&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
When did you say it was scratch proof? Why don't you read your first comment in this thread, and then my response to it, where I've quoted you. Now you're backpedaling. It might help to look at it on a regular browser, as I've bolded certain things in them. Just because I've scratched Gorilla Glass with keys, does not mean I'm bound and determined to do it. Stop making such absurd assumptions, it only serves to further discredit yourself. Just stop. I'm simply pointing out that you're spreading misinformation regarding Gorilla Glass.

I am not impressed unless the kickstand is reversible, I want to be able to charge my phone while it is propt up on my desk. So far no kickstand case has this design yet, all have charging port on bottom.

Seidio has it :) n its bettr than this n cheap

hTc Evo [3D]
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
They do? Looking at SeidioOnline.com for the EVO 3D, the only kickstand case they have is the Surface (with Kickstand), with which the kickstand only looks to support the phone in portrait and on the left side (with the camera button up, and the USB port down).

The only case I've seen that supports the EVO 3D in both landscape orientations is the Body Glove Vibe Slider Case, which is hard plastic and only available in god-awful pink.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
The Body Glove case also comes in purple. A member here bought the purple and painted it black, there idea thread in here about it. I believe it also comes in 1 other color, someone mentioned 3 colors before. I personally have never seen any in person...
[HTC EVO 3D] mllora81:
I bought the Seidio Surface Case with Kickstand and the Seidio Surface Holster. I am very pleased with both of them. I am able to charge the phone and use the kickstand at the same time, I just have to rotate the phone 180 degrees.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Not quite sure what you mean by that?
[HTC EVO 3D] lcars123:
Both of these cases look like they are really thick. I just want the kickstand on the thinnest case possible
[HTC EVO 3D] Marty:
The Body Glove case is pretty thin (just a thin plastic shell with a builtin kickstand). The only issue is that its only available in pink/purple. I bought one, sanded it, and repainted it black. I'm happy with the results but I may end up selling it, not happy with the lack of protection it offers.
[HTC EVO 3D] bagelicious:
In reference to the Seidio case - I just got Surface case with kickstand in the mail today and took a couple of pictures to help out. Sorry for the crappy quality, they were taken with my old Epic 4G with crappy lighting.

Seidio Surface case with Kickstand

Hopefully that link works out, I just signed up for Picasa and it worked in my browser. Let me know if it doesn't and I can try again.

The kickstand can be used in portrait or landscape (both ways, charger up and charger down). It's a very sturdy case and I am very happy with this purchase so far. No need to hunt down another kickstand case after this.
[HTC EVO 3D] ennoozunu:
I just got a Fusion TPU case with the kickstand in Green and love it. I paid $14.99 for it on the Amazon market place.

It fits the Evo 3D well and I think looks pretty decent. The stand seems solid both the sliding part of the stand and the part that clips down has metal bars in them so the plastic won't wear down over time. I got my XO Skin the day after for the screen which is also very nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Nice pics, thanks for sharing. How sturdy is the kickstand when it's resting, well, backwards I guess? I assume it locks in the position as well as in?
[HTC EVO 3D] DCLocal:
Seidio Rocks

I have the Best Buy version of the Seidio Surface w/kickstand and I love it. It is well made and has a nice soft-touch texture. The kickstand seems weak at first but the type of plastic is very sturdy and works well. The kickstand does work in both landscape and portrait as stated above.
[HTC EVO 3D] tomr1des:
this is exactly what i have been looking for...
[HTC EVO 3D] wase4711:
yes, it locks in what ever position you have it in.

I have the purple case and the Seidio; they both have nicely functioning kickstands, but, the Seidio protects the top and bottom and front screen edges better than the purple body glove case does..

They are both good cases, but the Seidio is much sharper looking.

BTW, both of them can charge properly in the Seidio deck dock, which is also nice for those who want to dock their phones, AND leave the case on..
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Nice to know about the docks. My Otterbox Impact case fits fine in my dock but the micro-usb plug doesn't go in deep enough to charge. Soooooooooo close....
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
What material is the Seidio Surface? Is it a TPU kind of soft-ish plastic, or is it a hard plastic?
[HTC EVO 3D] wase4711:
Actually it is hard plastic that is covered in a "suede like" material..very soft, but not glossy, and enough texture to easily feel great in your hand..

If you don't need a super protective case, like the otter box then by far, this is your best choice.

I think cell guru.com has the best price; I got mine for 20.00 plus 2.99 shipping
[HTC EVO 3D] FrickenFracken:
How does the Seido compare in bulk to the "Platinum" case at BB? This is what I'm using now and my biggest complaint is the kickstand blocks the charging port in landscape mode.

[HTC EVO 3D] wase4711:
the seidio case lets you have your phone sitting anyway you want it, and, you can still plug your phone in without any problems..

Seidio Extended (4000 MAH) Case w/ Kickstand

Just a quick question for you guys. Has anyone seen/heard of/purchased a case w/ kickstand that is compatible with the Seidio Extended Battery, 4000 MAH?
[HTC EVO 3D] Fedway:
I'd like to see some protection around the camera lens.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
Isn't putting a case on such a beautiful device, kind of like putting a suit of armor or a burqa on a perfect 10? :-)

Purely rhetorical.
[HTC EVO 3D] Sh0wNuF:
The platinum brand at best buy is seidio, its just their in store brand
[HTC EVO 3D] bagelicious:
Seidio's website lists a Surface With Kickstand for extended batteries. If I wasn't getting such good battery life so far I would have picked that one up instead. I'm loving the normal surface with kickstand so far!

*Edit* I can't seem to find that case anymore, I swear it was there last week when I was ordering online... weird.
[HTC EVO 3D] wase4711:
not really, bro, its just a phone, not a naked woman! :D:D
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
You just reinforced my point. If you wouldn't cover up the woman to protect her, why cover up the entire phone, so you can't even see it? Point is, they're both things of beauty, why hide them? Naked all the way!
[HTC EVO 3D] Roymus:
I've got the Seidio Surface case with kickstand. The case is nice, but I have to say the kickstand is a bit disappointing...plastic and fairly flimsy. Plus, the tip of the kickstand piece is curved inward and flush with the case, which makes it impossible to extract without a substantial fingernail. I miss the nice metal EVO 4G kickstand that you could deploy by simply pressing on the pivot. Glory days...
[HTC EVO 3D] Showtime7:
Review

Just wanted to give a short review on this case (the one from the OP) for those interested in buying it.

Pros:

wide variety of colors available

not very expensive, I spent a little over $16 buying from OrionGadgets on ebay

nice grip

not bulky at all, adds just enough size to fit comfortably in the hand

the material around the edges seems like it would absorb some impact; it's like a rubber-plastic hybrid (also doesn't attract lint)

the back is finished with a nice diagonal pattern, looks and feels high quality (as opposed to the material around the edges)

kickstand is wide, giving it a little more support than other kickstand cases

Cons:

kickstand mode blocks the charger port

kickstand is plastic, and it has no spring; you have to manually open and close

kickstand doesn't allow it to stand up vertically

the area where the kickstand is mounted is raised above the rest of the cover, so it isn't completely flush on the back

difficult to push buttons due to the hardened material on the edges the covers all the buttons (although, this is good for preventing accidental button pushes)

All in all, this is a solid case and I'm satisfied. The kickstand could be a lot better, but there aren't very many options out there. I like the hybrid material used on the edges as it seems it will be able to absorb some contact without becoming a lint magnet, or being extremely bulky. The charger port blocking isn't a biggie to me, though for some of you that may be a big deal.

Dude. If someone puts 3vo in pocket w/keys then person deserves scratches

Dis glass takes a beating. I got a small kid believe me.

Don't know how any of u use these as u should be sporting the 3500mah bat or bigger
[HTC EVO 3D] cristorb:
I personally don't like red too much and that case looks bulky and huge.

If what you are looking is a stand for your evo 3d take a look at my signature, it fits any phone with case or without case, and it has multiple viewing angles and positions.

:D

So I just bought a mesmerize tonight. I've been trying all night to get it rooted using z4 but all it ever does is force close while trying to acquire root, or it'll just hang and do nothing. It doesn't even work after pulling the battery after running it. I've gotten it to work on my droid x and on my friend's droid 2, but I just can't get it done on this phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenner444:
My brother (a fellow Epic owner) is taking a trip to London next month. Wondering what tips or tricks anyone may have for staying connected. He's shooting a film over three weeks and will need to text and email. He'll have access to wifi intermittently.

What apps or services can you suggest? Also, he's not rooted yet and was wondering how he could benefit from it (other than the general awesomeness of some of these roms).

Any help is much appreciated.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanthinealkaloid:
If your brother would like to still use his Epic to communicate while overseas, my first tip, without even rooting, would be sign up for Google Voice and get GrooVe IP from the market.

This combo will allow for calling over WiFi...I haven't used it in a couple of months, bit I used it quite frequently prior to that...It worked fairly well.

Google Voice will also allow for sending and receiving texts.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
This exactly.

Just note, that if he wants to be able to receive phone calls, GrooVe IP needs to be left on, which may be detrimental to battery life.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanthinealkaloid:
Also just to sure, the calls/texts are only received when there's an active WiFi connection.

As for the battery impact, GrooVe IP seemed fairly good as a background service not sucking up the battery too much...I may not be a the best judge of that one though because I'm a person who uses 2 batteries with little care about what how much is being used. :) However, it certainly seems the WiFi calls themselves use slightly more juice then a standard call.

In the long run, it may not really matter though because in this situation you're probably going to want to make sure the phone radio is turned off, since it serves no purpose.

This is funny I see this post...something interesting on this. I am getting ready to travel to the Dominican Republic and I am researching this very thing, a free way to stay in contact with my business and the kids that were left far far behind... I did a google search (cuz he's the smartest guy I know) for "calling voip from my smartphone from the dominican republic" and I was on a website reading travelers inputs (don't know which one as I looked at 50 of them). A guy mentioned he was on sprint and did the google voice thing and incurred data roaming charges on his bill the next month after he got back off the trip. Whats the scoop...anyone with first hand knowledge? This would be nice. I downloaded skype and mobilevoip and both need lowcost minutes but I was hoping for free and easier than setting up accounts with a voip servicer.

Edit: Question, does Google Voice/GrooVeIP do video chat like skype? computer to computer or should I say Epic 4g to laptop/pc?

I'm a developer at SoCal Devs, and i am creating a new and easy way to flash boot animations. I am looking for some boot animation creators to support my work and let me get their name and work outside of just XDA. I am looking for any sized Boot animations.

The reason i am doing this is to get the permission of the creator instead of "stealing" it from them by using the animations without permission.

This will be a free app on the market.

If you are going to run from sd card, make sure it is a 8GB or high Sandisk class 2 or 4. As other sd cards run like crap.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wifflepig:
It's always a good idea to try SD first, so you don't hurt anything and keep your sanity. Verygreen has a size-agnostic installer that works well, and is very painless.

The tips on keeping your SD card class 4 is right on the money. Faster/newer cards tend to Force Close on us a lot.

Once you have it how you like it, and are comfortable - switch to EMMC install.

Honestly, I've had my NC for about four months now, running off SD and CM7, and have never gone back to the original B+N bootup. One of these days, I'll just shove it all into EMMC and be done.

I am the uber n00b..just got my Nook out of the box a few minutes ago..

Was doing some searches for info on it and found this forum..man have I got a lot of learning to do.

My nook says it has 1.2 on it..so that is good right?

It has absolutely nothing on it now, and I guess my next step is going to buy a good SD card for it...

Is there a "list" of the exact models/sizes you guys prefer..?

Man, I am struggling with all these terms..and to think, until now, I considered myself a "computer guy"..! HA..! :eek: What a joke I am!

Please be patient with me..!:D
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neckberg:
If you plan to just load an android rom onto the internal memory, you dont need a big sd card like that. I did that and I love it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdie_in_texas:
Now I have learned that the term "Class 'X'" refers to the sped of the SD card..learning is fun..yikes!

So I need a CLass 4 or above speed rated card and at least an 8GB SD in size..

Now to figure out the terminology you guys are throwing at me.. "Nightlies?", "CM7?"

Lots to absorb for an old fat man..;)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdie_in_texas:
Yeah, I "guess" that is what I would want to do..

I would just like to be able to get to the Android market and watch netflix, youtube, tapatalk, iRcon, a few aps really..

My biggest problem, is there seems to be SO MUCH that you can do with these tablets, that I am just not aware of what I "really" would like to do! hahaha

I hate being the n00biest n00b on the board..
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuul4nook:
The Class X refers to sustained large block read/write speeds, and not the random one. Assuming you're intending to follow verygreen's guide on installing CM7 to the sdcard only, you specifically want a high random read/write speed card to do so. Anecdotal evidence (and lots of it) have shown that Sandisk branded microSDHC's of Class 2/4 work the best.

In terms of size, 4GB is pretty tight but great for simply testing (and cheap too @ 10 bucks from Staples). I use a Class 4, 8GB Sandisk (was only 15 bucks at Radio Shack) which feels much roomier.

Good luck and enjoy!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tekara:
I'd recommend the cm7 nightly builds. More features, more customizable, all around the best experience to be had out of a custom rom.

For SD Cards, stick with the Sandisk ones, highest class rating you can find and I'm generally a fan of bigger is better when it comes to storage. Even the 32GB ones aren't that expensive anymore.

Definitely have fun with the nook, it's next to impossible to truly kill it, so have fun trying out a whole bunch of stuff. If you break something, just start over!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birdie_in_texas:
Thanks so much you guys! You are making me "feel" a lot better about messing with it!

I'm using mik's CM7 6.5.7 build with franco's kerne' 19.2 + zram and link2sd. Everything was working fine for a while when suddenly link2sd broke. It would always say link failure and something about read only data... I didn't mess around with anything on the memory card settings (if that's even possible).

The option I had in mind was to ditch link2sd and use darktremor's apps2sd. I would backup everything on my nand (including the sd ext) partition the memory card with bigger space, and restore everything again. Would that work?
