I'm in for a black one! Killer find! I was holding out for an Amzer argyle case (I have some money left on an Amazon card), but they're out of stock until 2015 or something, then I found some cheaper TPU argyle cases but the back cutout was just one big opening for the speaker, camera, and flash. This is actually better looking than what I was waiting for anyway. I love the way that one video demos the frost case with no battery cover - good looking option. Thanks OP!

By the way, anybody know where these are shipped from? (Edit: The Ebay seller page says Las Vegas - confirmation anybody?)
[EVO 4G Accessories] brol1k:
i just recieved mine and i love it,also fits with the bestbuy platinum quick clip perfectly and it has the great lay on the screen design so the screen wont scratch.

Update heres the pictures:
[EVO 4G Accessories] Vinny75:
Yes, Vegas.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
this is not the same case the OP is selling, but its the same one I picked up. I think its a better option for those of us with white EVO's, although I'd still prefer it to be totally clear. No problems pressing the power button and the front lay-on-the-table design is great, it also survived its first fall from about 3 feet on to concrete. heart skipped a beat, but the phone kept on ticking! scratch free! still not as much protection as i'd like but it will work until Otterbox releases something.

edit: nice coke pinky btw! ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] brol1k:
this is a TPU case just the plaid design with it an clear witha rubbery feel to it and never sticks to your pockets when trying to take it out, but it is the TPU case from ebay.and yes the power button is pressed with no issues at all, and I wish it had just a thicker layer around the corners but still great for the price. And its not a coke pinky, I need it for the work I do, I have huge fingers and that pinky nail is my savior lmao
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverZero:
That's ironic - in some cultures a grown-out pinky nail is a sign that the individual doesn't do manual labor. Sort of a class distinction thing.

And a very nit-picky postscript: Plaid (or, more correctly, tartan) is not the same as argyle. ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] nolageek:
As much as I want to love this case, the power button is a deal breaker. It's been a week and I actually take the case off when I'm at home or at work because I don't want to mash the button every 5 minutes to read tweets or check my text messages. It's frustrating because everything else about the case is perfect - except for the one thing I need to use the most.

And to the person that suggested the widget - that doesn't do any good. It doesn't wake the phone, just unlocks it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Vinny75:
Did you try the electrical tape trick? Worked wonders for mine... very easy to press the power key now
[EVO 4G Accessories] gabesir:
Got my case yesterday the fitment is flawless!

About the power and volume buttons , yes is a little hard to press but easy to fix =)

I didnt care about the volume buttons much but the power was a big thing, Saw the post about rolling a little piece of electrical tape to filled the gap and came out with my own solution to the problem !!

if you look at the inside of the case where the power button meets the case looks like this --__-- so you put the tape to filled the gap so it can be like this ------

I use super glue to filled the inside of the case ( power button) remember this is a very small amount just enough to fill the pocket . Leave to dry " left mine all day "

Now is so easy to press the button! =)
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverZero:
Good mod idea! And good advice - I can just see somebody coming back to complain because their case is now super-glued to their phone. :)

But mostly I'm impressed that you were able to describe the inner form of the case using underscores and dashes! Quite 1337.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sisith:
Got my case, just a couple issues I noticed. The hole for the headphone jack and cut outs for the usn are too small. I had to remove some material so my plugs would fit. Otherwise the case is great!
[EVO 4G Accessories] gabesir:
Thank you!

about the glue and the phone , you must leave it to dry lol . I left mine the whole day at home and about the dashes.... thats old school =}:cool:
[EVO 4G Accessories] gabesir:
didnt notice that issue with mine... and yes i use my old iphone headset to make calls while driving.
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Haven't had any issue with mine and any of the micro-USB cables I've tried. My Shure headphones fit fine also. Interesting...
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
I thought about doing this after first reading about the electrical tape trick but decided against and I'll tell you why. First, when I did the electrical tape trick initially I used two thin pieces folded together with a third piece to hold them in place in the gap. This ended up being too thick which caused the case to deform and made the power button way to easy to press. So I did a single layer of tape with another piece to hold it in place and voila. The other reason I didn't do the glue is because of the case texture, or lack of it - I'm not a materials engineer but I don't imagine TPU is very porous so the glue won't probably last for very long before it comes loose. And, finally, I'm impatient. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] nolageek:
I just cut a hole in the top of the case where the power button is. It's ugly but it works.

womp womp.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bpqow:
Ordered 2 cases on 7/18 and received both today. I love these cases. Power button is hard to press but the tape fixed that problem.
[EVO 4G Accessories] echoside:
I can't tell 100% by the pictures but does it overlap the screen enough to block any light leakage if you have any?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverZero:
Yes, just barely, though I don't have really any light leakage to test with. It comes up just around the edges of the glass all around. I have a normal cheap-o screen protector on and the edges of the case almost push it up from the screen since they land at almost the exact same spot, but I think as it sits for a few minutes it might "settle" and shrink on a bit. There's some stretching involved in putting the case on, hopefully it'll tighten up again.

I just got mine today (ordered Friday), it's good stuff! The fit is great, almost perfect, though it does take a tiny bit of stability away from the kickstand (it still stands, maybe I'm just imagining it). There's a small imperfection at the top right corner where it was molded, but hardly an issue. Yes, it is difficult to press power and volume buttons, I'll fix it with some epoxy or tape. Seriously, for less than $6 each, we should all get one or two of these.

@phobos512: I'm thinking the material, while not porous, will actually melt enough from the solvents in the glue to provide good adhesion, almost like a plastic weld. I agree that there may be an issue if you made your glue too thick, it might cause the power button to press too easily or be pressed in by the pressure of the case alone. But I, unlike you, may have the patience to get it. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] echoside:
Cool thanks I think im going to order one of each. Figured can't beat the price plus the extra buck off. I'd get both for cheaper then I paid for the one case I'm using now and its garbage.
[EVO 4G Accessories] morpheus6d9:
is that for the whole order or for each case ?
[EVO 4G Accessories] echoside:
Whole order. Just used it.

Order placed....now waiting by my mailbox it will be my third case..... but this looks like what I've been trying to find.
[EVO 4G Accessories] morpheus6d9:
thanks i just placed an order myself ordered 4 cases
[EVO 4G Accessories] _jws:
looks nice, in on one
[EVO 4G Accessories] kingofslackerz:
got my two, black and frosted, yesterday. I like them a lot, only issues so far is the black one has some extra molding on the corner, it's kind of smudged also. And with the frosted one, when looking at at the back of the case it does not to be frosted consistently, you can see a lot of black from the back of the phone seeping through, kind of streaky. It still looks great though.

It their great cases for the M2 mount also.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bacdoliljo:
I also got the black one. You can see where the cut was made (sloppily) on the top right corner of the case during the manufacturing process. It's kind of sharp. The case fit is great. I really like the snug fit, but a major issue is the buttons. The power and volume buttons aren't exactly lined up to the buttons on the phone and they are only barely raised (about half a mm). It is very difficult to press and there is no feedback when you push a button.

I think I might try to do a few cuts in the buttons along with adding some shims underneath to enhance the buttons. Hopefully it will increase the feedback and lessen the force required to push the buttons. Good deal for under $6 shipped though!
[EVO 4G Accessories] AussieLuv:
Got my black case yesterday. Very nice fit and looks great on the phone. Easy to attach to the Evo since it is so flexible, yet still provides great protection. Used 2 pieces of tape in the power button area and 1 piece for the volume controls. No problems with power and volume control now.
[EVO 4G Accessories] plmiller0905:
I just ordered mine earlier today. For the people that received theirs already, how long distance it take you to receive it?

Also where can I get the growth growth backdoor/

Case?
[EVO 4G Accessories] fitzbarrientos:
Ordered mine (black) and got it in 3 days.

Good tight fit, looks very nice (if you don't really pay attention, it looks as if the phone was designed that way and there was no case on it).

Buttons do become hard to press, but the tape trick improves sensitivity.

All in all, the best case you can get for $5.75 at your door (use discount code).

[EVO 4G Accessories] sshark:
I received mine black TPU on Thursday. Few observations:

1- Someone needs to tell OP to raise price on this classy case unless he wants to do a service to XDA and world by selling it at $5. :D

2- Sharp fitting and contours. Very accurate match on back as far as camera, speaker, flash and stand is concerned.

3- Case on the back is not slippery or gel-sticky. Just perfect to slide in and out.

4- Power and volume button recess can use some work. But I have inserted a piece of paper in between power button and case and it works with some ease.

5- Again, for 5 bucks, I can get a sandwich or I can get damn classy case to fit Evo.

OP, dude put it on every damn merchandising site so that people will have access to this bad ass stuff.
[EVO 4G Accessories] bacdoliljo:
Update from my previous review:

The holes on the bottom for the Usb and hdmi port is too small to securely fit the stock charging/data cable. It works fine if you plug in and leave it on a table but if you pick up and use the phone while plugged in , the cable falls out very easily because it won't fit all the way in. This case would be great if the button positions and feel were fixed and the opening at the bottom was made to accommodate the stock charger. It should be easy enough.
[EVO 4G Accessories] eric70123:
Just got mine, using the frosted with no back cover. Great look, great fit. Couple of nuance issues, not even worth mentioning for the price.
[EVO 4G Accessories] plmiller0905:
So the frost case can be put on the phone by itself or do it go over the original back case?
[EVO 4G Accessories] eric70123:
Either, just depends what look you like
[EVO 4G Accessories] eric70123:
I'd like to see a matte black front with clear back. That'd look killer.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _jws:
got the matte black a few days ago, really happy with the price/product. the fit is nice and tight. as mentioned previously the buttons are hard to press and there is some edges left over from the modling that i filed off (top right and bottom left). love the camera lens protection
[EVO 4G Accessories] phobos512:
Hm...I don't have this problem at all. I've used the stock and multiple Monoprice micro-USB cables, as well as a mini->microUSB adapter from Radioshack for the charger I leave at my girlfriend's apt, all without issue.
[EVO 4G Accessories] NxtGenCowboy:
I just got mine.. really quick shipping.. Ordered Friday and Bam here Monday..

Same gripe as everyone else, buttons are hard to press.... but...

Case fits snug and doesnt bulk ya pocket..

cant go wrong for the price!
[EVO 4G Accessories] echoside:
Got mine today was shipped very quickly. Yes the power button is a little tough to press but I've already gotten used to it. It adds barely any bulk whatsoever also. Very happy.

Now if sprint stops giving me the run around on getting my phone replaced ill be buying a clear one soon! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Accessories] morpheus6d9:
i received my 4 cases today for the price you cant go wrong way better than my seidio innocase all cut out are fine and i can charge my phone with no problems
[EVO 4G Accessories] gabesir:
Got my cases! super fast shipping and awesome seller! THANK YOU SO MUCH

This case is perfect. I didnt want anything bulky or gummy ( hard to pull out of your pocket) so this case is perfect for my needs!

Thank you again!:D
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
I really want to buy 4 of them, we have 3 Evos, wife wants a frosted, my room mate and myself wants black, I want to buy 2 black, 2 frosted, problem is that I cannot do so on the evocases website as when you add then to the card its increments the number but only allows you to choose black or white, I would need to do two different orders and really get charged double shipping, I saw now way to email the admin there so if anyone knows the admins email, and could pass it along, I would love to order four of them.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _jws:
Yea you can, just add to cart, order 2 black. go back to the shop page, scroll down add 2 frosted.

use add to cart on this page

http://www.evocases.net/?page_id=16&shopp_pid=1
[EVO 4G Accessories] RichTJ99:
I have tried 3 times to place an order for two black cases. Each time, when I complete the paypal transaction, I get sent back to Evocases.net, being referred in the URL by paypal to a page not found error on Evocases.net.

I check my paypal balance but there is no transaction from Evocases.net.

Anyone else running into this problem?
[EVO 4G Accessories] Childofthehorn:
For anyone with reservations about TPU cases in general....

They Are Fantastic!

I ordered two different ones from two different makers and while one is a little better thought out than the other, the protection that they provide exceeds the 3 previous hard cases that I have owned (the black platinum/seidio, Body Glove hard, and White snap on from Sprint). They are also much thinner, while still protecting the camera and front of the phone. They do the best job thus far with drops. I dropped my phone a lot over the past two months with my crazy amount of traveling and having only had this case the past few days, it has held up much better to my tile and hardwood floors.

The phone has no additional damage (did get a few small nicks in it even using the other cases)! This is a much better alternative for those of us who lived by hard cases and full body protection, but need something that comes off easy enough (doing hard resets and replacing the battery).

Again, this is just a promo for the TPU cases in general and I have no experience with this specific case. Though I will be getting one of your lovelies soon.

A transparent red one would be fantastic, esp with the clear battery door work going on in another thread!
[EVO 4G Accessories] huskerpat:
I love this case. It has a few minor cosmetic issues (mine is the frosted), but I'm not horribly concerned about it. I'm using widget locker, which lets you use the volume buttons to wake the phone. That makes the difficult power button less of an issue, but it is getting easier to press now that I've had it for over a week.
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
That shop page has two choices, best sellers and TPU cases.

Neither with a color choice, you do not see the color choice until you go to your cart, whereupon you see the color choice, the problem is that ALL of the purchases (add 20 of them if you want) are on a single line, with a single color choice.

there is no way on evocases.net to order 2 different color choices.

The cases are sweet, the website is a **** design.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SilverZero:
Are you sure it's not because the frost cases are sold out? The option is grayed out for me. I know other people have ordered one of each at the same time before, maybe you could be less disparaging until you've emailed the site owners. Right or wrong, you're being pretty harsh.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _jws:
no. u can add it twice, and u will see two separate lines in your cart with different colors, i've done it. *scroll straight down on the link i provided, do not click 'shop'.

the frost one seeems to be sold out this morning though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] RichTJ99:
Has anyone been able to use Paypal to purchase these cases? Everytime I do I am redirected to a evocases.net landing page that says not found. Is it because I am using the $1.00 coupon?
[EVO 4G Accessories] misticjeff:
A couple of updates:

The Frosted color cases are sold out!

PayPal seems to be an issue for some, not sure why. I just tested it and went directly to PayPal. It's worked for 20 days straight, so not completely understanding what happened today. Google Checkout still available.

For those wishing to still use PayPal who are unable, you can still purchase the case through www.sensorycandy.com

edit: tried in both Chrome and Firefox with no issue using coupons and going to paypal.
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
I am not being harsh, I design websites for a living, if you offer two color options then you do not setup your cart to auto-increment a single item to multiple items without the ability to separate them into individual items of different color, it makes no sense, it also (as witnessed in this case) makes it impossible for your customers to purchase what they want.

In the world of business no matter what you do, you ALWAYS make sure the customer is easily able to purchase your items, no matter how hard it may be on the backend, the front end must always be extremely easy.

I see where the clear cases have now sold out.

However in order to see this I had to open Internet Explorer and open the site, it looks like the site cannot be run correctly through Google Chrome or Firefox.

I will still be purchasing the cases, they are REALLY nice looking and my critique of the website design in no way follows onto the cases, they are slick as can be and I for one will be purchasing many of them, in fact probably 6 now, 3 of each so that we can all have a black and a clear case.

Well, as soon as the clear ones become available again.

I am probably going to hit sensor candy and add them there, but then I do not get the buy 3 get one free deal, and from what I saw the coupon code of xdadevs2010 did not work well there.

But such is life and a difference of 11 dollars is not a deal breaker in these cases.

So OP, for now expect 3 black purchases, and as soon as the frosted come back in, expect 3 more.

Oh quick question to those with these cases.

How are they at attracting dust and lint? Seems to be a major problem with silicon cases, do these have that problem as well?
[EVO 4G Accessories] misticjeff:
Just need to respond...

The site runs just fine in both Chrome and Firefox and has been running just fine since it was put up. evocases.net was put up for the sole purpose of making available the TPU cases for the EVO. It was done with a Wordpress install and a Shopp plugin. I am working within the limitations of those two pieces of software, the latter of which is very basic.

Since it's inception a few weeks ago, hundreds of XDA members and others have successfully purchased their TPU cases with no issue.

I'm well aware of what customers want and need regarding ease of purchase. I've been retailing on the internet successfully since 2003, and although this is NOT my full time job, I take pride in what I do and strive to offer the best in customer service.

SensoryCandy.com offers the same coupon discounts as evocases.net and offers a secure checkout environment for those wishing to use a credit card directly.

XDA members may use coupon code: xdadevs2010 for a $1 off their order

XDA members may use coupon code: 4for3 for a Buy 3 Get 4 deal

The Frosted cases will not return to stock. I will not be reordering once stock is depleted.

Regarding lint... Since TPU is a plastic and not a silicone, lint is approx. 90% less than found on silicone cases and should not even be noticeable.
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
That sucks that I wont be able to get any frosted cases, but I will still be buying some black ones anyway.

Great news about the lint.

As for the site.

http://www.webpagescreenshot.info/img/249636-729201011705AM

This if from the newest available (not beta or dev channel) build of Google Chrome.

As you can see, your images are over your text, you have a huge honking whitespace in the middle of your page forcing the viewer to scroll down, and until early this morning, I cold not see the drop down for the colors.

There is obviously a compatibility and drawing issue, I have been building and designing high end websites since 1996, we obviously both have experience, but obviously, there is an issue with your site. Take it as constructive criticism, it is not a personal attack.

I will just hit the other site, and in order to support the dev, probably not use the coupons, but nice to know they are available.

Coupon notes.

When using google checkout, I put in the 1 dollar off, took off a dollar, and the ability to enter a second coupon code.

Went to google checkout.

Tried the code 4for3, returned this.

Invalid coupon code

Retry

The coupon code you entered (4for3) is not valid.

It looks as if your unable to combine coupons on sensor candy, and google checkout does not recognize the coupons at all.
[EVO 4G Accessories] misticjeff:
Glad i'm not selling you a car or house....
[EVO 4G Accessories] flyingwolf:
I fail to see how me trying in vain to purchase items from you using the supplied discounts and being unable to use those discounts in any way relates to selling me a car or a house.

Unless of course you advertise the car but don't sell the engine and wheels with it, or advertise a house but do not include the roof and windows in the offered price.

In that case your a cheat. I would hope this would not be the same case here.

I am trying to actually give you money here, one would think you would be happy to offer customer service when there is an issue stopping a customer from being able to purchase from you.

You did not address any of the points I made above, care to?
[EVO 4G Accessories] echoside:
Crap I ordered a black one and was going to get a clear one next week, oh well that's what I get for procrastinating. Thanks again. It's the only case I have liked so far.
[EVO 4G Accessories] misticjeff:
Dude... this is a hobby and to help XDA members. I've sold over 500 cases to date with no issues. Today is the first time i've heard of a paypal issue for some and then comments come in. It's a $5 plastic case for a phone. Yes, I do want to sell them and have. Not sure why you are having difficulties as hundreds of others are not.

If you'd like, i'll provide you with my paypal email address or invoice you via Google Checkout for the purchase you'd like to make.

My comment about the house and car relates to the fact that we are spending a GREAT deal of time going on about a $5-$15 purchase, i'd hate to think what it would be like if it were larger.

Here are screenshots of the site and checkout process for both PayPal and Google Checkout using the latest Google Chrome browser (v5.0.375.125). Firefox works in the same way.
