I went ahead and bought the PT case when I picked my LTE up from Best Buy since it was the only one they had. This is the one that comes with both the case and holster.

Had not used a holster in a long time, but find this one works pretty good.

They had blue and black and I choose the blue because everybody I work with these days has a black slab-style phone and wanted to be able to identify mine better.

Case feels very well made and fits tight (which is not really an issue for me since no replaceable batter.

Only issue is the case makes the dedicated camera button harder to use since it doesn't seem to fit just right, takes a good push to activate.

I got the amzer White case. It's a semi-transparent white not a solid white. I probably should have paid closer attention to the pictures. The fit is good, but it still covers the buttons.

For now I'm still using this glossy black one http://www.ebay.com/itm/27098290277...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1432wt_1396 It's a good fit, has a slight bit more of that seam you can feel on the edges, but it's not transparent at all, which I like.

My Diztronic flat black should be here today or tomorrow as soon as it comes I'm switching to that. Main reason is I want the cutouts for the buttons. Pushing the power button isn't the easiest through a tpu case and I'd like more tactile feel on the camera button.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellyrx8:
got a 7 dollar TPU off ebay and love it, fit the phone just great and still retains the "thin" build of the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Traceamount:
Anyone comment on the Cruzerlite cases? Specifically the ones made for the LTEvo? Im sold on the looks, just would like to hear if anyones had any functionality problems?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Papichulo06:
Ordered this one and I just got it in the mail today. Pretty nice. I like the way it feels and how it looks. Almost reminds me of the original One X white outline.

Only thing i don't like is that the camera still slightly sticks out enough for it to get scratched.

Thanks for this. S6.95 no shipping fee. I still might buy the cruzerlite but shipping is steep on that.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
I got the same thing. I sent the seller an email asking for a white one. The picture on ebay shows white. You can't see the phone through case. This is transparent. Will see where it goes but I'm saving my feedback for now.

Other than the color, I like the feel and look of the case much more than the freebie from Sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Alex@XDA:
Got mine from Diztronic (aka TPU-CASES) today and could not be happier!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chunkyhao:
case-mate tough. good protection and not much bulk. probably a little thinner than the OG Evo with the case. still have good access to all ports, buttons, and kickstand.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bohiti:
Just got my cheapo shiny black TPU case off ebay today. Love it. Simple, cheap, thin, feels good and looks how I like.

Have the matte one coming from diztronic (sp?) tomorrow so I'll have a choice.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
how is your volume keys? my Tough case causes the volume down button to stick when pressed...tried many times to put it on some particular way but everytime the thing sticks on first press...as the 2nd time I try to press it the button doesn't click...try it with screen on and ill show the volume continuously turns volume down till its in vibrate...

really not happy about it as its always one of my fav cases to use yet this is unacceptable to me...its really like the shell causes the rubber part to become too tight on that volume down button area leaving it to stick when pressed...

any particular way you put the thing on beside putting the shell over the volume keys first? lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markbo2000:
I got the Best Buy premium case (Same as Seidio), they are discounted when purchased with the phone and other accessories. Mine was knocked down to mid 20's with the clip included. Great deal! In the same purchase I got my Zagg HD covers for $14.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
Me too. I'm a recent convert, starting with my epic 4G touch. I used to always buy seidio surface cases, but they just don't fit well enough (not to mention a lot of times they come apart on impact and your phone gets scratched) and after purchasing one for my e4gt and being completely dissatisfied with its fit, I decided I was done with seidio.

These cases fit better, are cheaper and protect just as well (actually better).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] couragedragon:
Man, I was a little disappointed I had ordered the Diztronic case when the free case from sprint arrived. I was like I could have saved $12 bucks. Now that I have the Diztronic TPU-CASE (Matte Black), I'm actually shocked at how much I love it!

It's very well made and keeps the phone looking super sexy. I love how solid the phone still feels with the case on and there's no issue with the edges of the screen (the silicone case extended further on to the screen and you had to push the case to swipe to the edge of the screen). I'm not accidentally activating the camera button anymore either.

Thanks OneStepAhead for a quality product! I'll recommend you guys to anyone that needs a case :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Here are 2 photos of the Amzer "white" TPU case I bought on eBay. The picture and description on eBay was totally misleading. I contacted the seller about it because I thought he sent me the wrong case. In his reply he says the case is a transparent white and asked me to send him pics of the case. These are those 2 photos.

I put the case on something to show how the case is transparent. The Entertainment book is what I had near me. LOL

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrsHoneyDip:
I actually like that one. Can you post a link to item and a pic of the case on the phone please?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
Sure. I will do that a bit later.

I received my Diztronic case today and I am disappointed. I think I may post a review of the 2 TPU cases I have so far and add the third when I receive it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Curious what you dont like about the Diztronic case as just everybody that has received theirs loves it? I have the case but no phone yet so i cant form my own opinion yet.:mad:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
HATE the cutouts on it, for me personally....ESP the volume one.....Other than that the case is truly amazing!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cordy:
Thanks for the pics. I'm curious as to whether it is indeed the incorrect one as it looks nothing like that on the site as you stated. Even the other one posted above seems to be more translucent than this one is.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ImaWinRAR:
$14!! my best buy doesnt even have them in stock and when they will be it will be like 26 before tax. if you buy one for me i'll pay for shipping :D:D (im serious lol)

btw i have the diztronic case too and the design is great. the cut out for the kickstand is a gradual decline instead of an abrupt one so it acts as a very comfortable spot to rest a finger and hold the phone. i dont like the lip around the camera (i think it could have been done more stylish). the build quality is nice but you honestly could find something suitable for cheaper off ebay if a couple bucks are worth a couple days wait time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
I have 3 cases to compare against each other. This will be my quick and dirty review. This is my opinion so no need for argument.

Sprint Blue Silicone. - It's silicone. Same issues as any silicone case. Attracts dust, hair, etc. Case feels like it could come off easily.

eBay TPU Amzer Transparent "White" glossy case. - The color described and pictured in the listing did not match what I received but that isn't important to this review. The case fits well. The front of the case creates a lip that protects the glass when the phone is face down. All of the buttons are covered by TPU. It may seem like a bad thing but it's not when compared to the Diztronic. I can easily press any of the buttons while keeping a firm one-handed grip on the phone. The only openings are access ports, kickstand, speakers, and microphone. The phone feels well protected with the case on. The biggest flaw is that there isn't a raised lip around the back camera.

Diztronic TPU matte black case. - the case looks beautiful. The matte finish on the back and the glossy front looks sharp. Same lip on the front to protect the glass when the phone is face down. They have a nice raised lip around the back camera. All buttons and ports have cutouts in the TPU. The matte finish is less gripy than the glossy finish of the Amzer case.

The cutouts create the biggest issue for me and why I probably won't be using the Diztronic case. That issue can be broken into 2 parts. The first part is with the volume button cutout. The size of that cutout created a thin strip of TPU above the button near the screen. This strip of TPU is rather flimsy and is kind of "just there". I'd compare it to a hangnail.

The second part with the cutouts is the difficulty of pressing the buttons. It is most noticeable when I try to use the volume button with a firm one-handed grip. Because there is that thin flimsy piece of TPU near the volume button, I have to lift my thumb over the TPU and down to push the button. There is nothing below the button to really give your thumb a surface to grab onto. My thumb is no longer in a good position to hold the phone and the majority, if not all, of my grip has to come from my palm and my four fingers. On the Amzer case my thumb is still a strong part of my grip when I press the volume button.

Back to Diztronic, the cutouts for camera button and power button are harder to access. Imagine trying to hold the phone and press the camera button with one hand.

I have 3 cases coming from Cruzerlite to try. After trying the Diztronic, I had to go back and see if the Cruzerlite had similar cutouts. They do. :( We'll see how those feel.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suprmallet:
I got the Diztronic, my first TPU case. I love it. The look is gorgeous (and covers the matte/glossy design that so many people dislike about the phone). I have no problems with the cutouts, but after reading cubbies post I can see why some people might dislike them. Still, this is one of the best cases I've ever used and it was less than half the price of most of the ones I've bought for other phones.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrsHoneyDip:
@cubbieswin: can you please post a pic of the phone in the transparent case? I would like to see how it looks in use.

I'm one of the few people that actually likes the back of the phone (from pics since I don't have it yet) but I'd rather not cover it with a case. However, I can't go without a case because my cases have saved my og evo plenty of times from damage. The case might break but my phone has remained intact.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jonstrong:
How about a bumper case?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ottodawg:
Anyone else using the diz tpu case having problems with your power button? Seems the case is so tight its pushing the back cover into the power button, so anytime I touch the power button it sticks and re-boots the phone.

I ordered this one last week. Says it was delivered today but no such luck. Been stuck without a case for a week now and its gonna be even longer now. That's what I get for getting free shipping USPS needs to just go out of business and leave it up to ups and FedEx.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamerican413:
That's a great price! I paid twice that. I sent mine back because it is bulkier than I prefer. Seems to be well made, though. Enjoy it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LuBi:
Just got my Cruzerlite blue today, very nice. Seems a bit thinner then the Diztronic I received earlier this week. The construction is better no molding tabs present and I like the fact that the side ribs aren't as pronounced as the photos lead me to believe.

Still no EVOLTE but I'm hopeful I'll actually see the phone sometime next month.. :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suprmallet:
I am not having that problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
I will if I ever get it, gonna stop at the sprint store and see if they have anything. I can't go without a case because I am a mechanic and my phone is always in harms way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
Just picked up the defender from the local sprint store. A little bulky but I feel much better now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
Dang. This may be my longest thread yet on these forums.

Also, the case I posted earlier that I bought off eBay for $5 works GREAT!

It's a rubber case perfectly made and fit for the Evo 4G LTE.

Lemme know if you guys need another link to it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] raiderep:
I'm not sure why this one is getting over looked. I think it was the first one made for the new evo and I got it before the phone due to the customs deal. I have been using it since I got the phone(over a week) and don't have one single complaint. The waffle is actually a very nice touch and no branding is nice. All buttons are covered and still work well. Very good for the price, I think I paid around $19.00 including shipping and don't plan on looking for a replacement. A backup would be nice so I am glad you all are posting here too. Might get the androidified as it is a nice fit on my wife's gnex.

Dura-Gel Waffle TPU Cases for HTC EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] edcp:
It holds the button down!

I have same issue

I stuck a thin piece of vinyl on the sides to raise the case off the button so far OK.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suprmallet:
Might have spoke too soon. Twice the phone has rebooted seemingly at random. Not sure if the case is causing it, because to my eye it doesn't look like the case is pushing on the power button. But maybe in my pocket it's getting pushed. I don't really want to take the case off for days to test it, though, because I've already dropped the phone once.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firebirdude:
EXACTLY. These phones keep getting bigger and bigger. The last thing I want to do is add an extra 1/4" of rubber to all 4 sides. But yet, even the cheapest case would help during an impact. I used the Barely There case on my EVO 4G and loved it. It was perfect. Now that I have the LTE, I was considering the Barely There case for it...but then I read this review right on the Case Mate website. The cut out for the kickstand is TOO exact. There's no extra room for you to use a nail and pull it out (and pictures prove this). Also, from what I can see, it doesn't look like it protects the "face" of the camera (the lens already sits back a little). Kinda sucks. The TPU Case from Diztronic looks to add pretty minimal length and width (don't care about thickness with this thin phone). Kickstand works fine with it and it has a little ridge around the camera (just like my EVO4G Barely There case. WTF case mate??!). So I'm trying to decide between the two.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ottodawg:
My diz case wasn't pushing the power button, but was pushing the back cover into the power button causing it to stick and re-boot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suprmallet:
Would that be visible to the naked eye? Doesn't look like that's happening on my phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suprmallet:
The restart happened again while the phone was in my pocket. Decided to take off the dizcount case and see if it happens again. Leaves the phone case-less until I can figure this out, so I'll have to handle it with kid gloves.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ottodawg:
Not really. I think the tolerance between the back cover and power button is pretty tight, at least on my phone. I've ordered the Seidio just in case the replacement isn't any better.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
This was the first one available and I too bought way before the phone was delivered. I have this one, a Diztronic and Cruzerlite and honestly, I think this one is the main case.

What's the difference you ask? Covered "volume" button! I do like all three of the cases for different reasons but the covered volume rocker is the best. The all uncovered buttons are nice but because the phone is so thin, having the volume rocker cutout creates a really thin (and flimsy) piece of material on the face edge of the case. The camera button cutout isn't an issue because the slot is quite short but the length of the volume slot creates the issue.

Maybe Diztronic will do a covered button version or one with a slight variation with the volume rocker covered. (*On the 3D every bithches and moaned about the volume and camera buttons being covered, so they changed it up for the LTE but honestly, the volume should be covered now for structural integrity.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] suprmallet:
I emailed Diztronic and they're sending me a replacement as well. Fingers crossed that it works, because I love the case.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] djscissorhands:
Not all will fit
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grrmisfit:
how protective are they compared to otter boxes?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vanessaem:
IMO, TPU cases are some of the best cases you can buy for your phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Papichulo06:
I agree. I've been using them since as long as I can remember. Otter boxes and cases of the sort just cost too much money and also add too much bulk imo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
TPU-case.com cases have been EXCELLENT for me and the devices in our house. I kid you not, my wife's phone (Nexus S 4G) looks like brand new after a year of hard use. I put the case on when I bought it, cover on as soon as I opened the package and it still fits like day one.

Once his cases are available, I'll buy at least one if not more as I really liked his argyle pattern and the all black cases he's put out before. They protect GREAT while not being all crazy bulky (Otterbox) or silly loose and "sticky" (Silicone skins) like other cases out there. They protect the phone 100% around all edges and provide a lip so even face down, the screen is not on the surface the phone is sitting on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
Is TPU paying you for this? Because you just sold me. I was using a Seido Active for my Evo 4G. I liked the design and protection, but for the EVOLTE I am looking for something more slimming yet protective. (I've had bad bouts with Silicone skins).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
HA HA! :) Nope, I just speak the truth and from experience. I was already digging the TPU cases (tpu-cases.com) from using them and dealing with the owner who frequents the forum every now and then BUT after seeing how perfect, I mean PERFECT my wife's phone looked after a year, and the abuse I know that Nexus see's, I will ALWAYS cover my phones with TPU cases.

I use the TPU 98% of the time and when I really need thin, I use a Case Mate "Barely There" case. This is when I have to wear dress slacks and suits for business travel. Only problem is the barely there case (or as I like to call it, the "bikini case" because it covers "just" enough but not "all" of it) leaves the top and bottom front of the device uncovered. While I don't like to dress up but sometimes, you just have to do it. I like the added insurance of "something" covering my phones even though I can count on one hand the number of times I drop a phone over a years time.

TPU is my choice if I only could have one.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OneStepAhead:
The One X cases will not fit the Evo LTE. We'll have our Evo LTE cases ready very close to launch.

He's not lying, I've been using them for 9 months and the product & support are outstanding. And the owner is a member of XDA aka OneStepAhead. :D

Will the kickstand still be accessible, or will it be covered?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dhruvmp:
OtterBox defender series basically started the smart phone tough case market. I remember a friend of mine showing me how well his iPhone 3G was protected in it. Took it off of his belt clip and tossed the phone 6 feet onto a concrete floor. I was like, wow, that was dumb, and then I ordered the case 2 minutes later. Any Seidio case besides the Active is just a waste of money. If you took the Surface case off your OG EVO, the stupid plastic clip things would always break. Its too bad too, because I love the belt holster for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Are you asking if the One X will leave the kickstand accessible OR are you asking if the cases from TPU-cases.com will have it accessible? The X case doesn't fit at all because the phone is a completely different shape, kickstand aside. As for the TPU-cases.com cases, I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be but I'll let the man answer that one. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chuunarusamurai:
Speaking of belt clips, only the defender and seido active combo have belt clips with the case and not the commuter..correct?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
was asking if the cases from TPU-cases.com for the EVOLTE will have the kickstand accessible, or if the case will block it. Surprisingly, some TPU cases for the EVOLTE block the kickstand.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Surprising no doubt! I think those will be collecting dust on shelves unless they drop them down to $1 each. Don't get me wrong, i'm not buying the phone for the kickstand, haven't really missed it since getting my 3D but damn, that just seems silly to effectively cover one of the phones "features" to the point of not being able to use at all.

Maybe it was just a bad run of cases and they figure some people won't care BUT not at the same price as those with the cutout.

*Now watch TPU-cases.com not have a cutout.... I'll buy from them anyway. LOL :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dhruvmp:
No, the Seidio Surface can be used with the holster, at least for the OG EVO, so I can't imagine they would change that. Not sure about the commuter case, but if I can use the kickstand with it, I think I will be going otterbox this time.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] arozer:
This one is very aesthetic:

http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-surface-case-black-p/csr3htjet-bk.htm

Also, I used to have a case for my htc Incredible that I simply LOVED.

It was an awesome case. I've never been able to find a case like that ever again for any other htc phone that I've had.

FOUND IT:

this one. Anyone know who makes this??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
I had that for my OG DInc and LG Revolution! That was the best case ever! I don't have any of the original packaging though, but I'm pretty sure it was only sold in VZW stores and online. I don't remember it having a brand name.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
That is a travesty. One of the Evo's defining qualities, sheathed away to rot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mike Fitz:
I've been using the Seidio Active case on my OG EVO and like it other than the outer skeleton corners breaking off on the first one. It looks like the same case for the LTE covers the factory kickstand and has it's own built in, but it doesn't say if it's able to stand with the charging port on top like the built in kickstand so it may be useless in that regard. Might have to look elsewhere for a case for this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dhruvmp:
The Otterbox commuter doesnt block the kickstand, just wondering if the spring action will be able to hold up the weight though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OneStepAhead:
Our Evo case will leave the kickstand accessible. The One X dimensions are almost identical to the Evo, but the cases are not compatible. Our AT&T One X cases won't even fit the International One X, so they definitely will not fit the Evo. They changed the rear camera size and placement on the AT&T model, and I believe the AT&T model is hair longer as well. Thanks for the interest guys, we are trying to get them ready as quickly as possible, but not so quickly that we have to release a revision 2 and revision 3 this time! :D
