Otterbox cases are the best

Use this code TB1010Y and get 10% off and free shipping
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
My wife and I both had that exoskeleton crack...the corners are the culprits, snap right off.

Thread crapping Otter fan boy...look-e-here, most people on this thread wouldn't be here if Otter could have delivered a when they said the cases were "coming soon". I'd use that code if there was a Defender. Hopefully, the Kraken beats the Defender...because I'd rather give my money to Trident at this point.
[EVO 4G Accessories] JArcher84:
I killed the thread because everyone in here knows Otter is the best and now that they have a 10% code they are will to wait for the best. I got the commuter and I love it, best screen protector by far.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
The commuter is good but can't be compared to the Trident. As of right now, the Trident is the best case on the market, and I should know- I have 8 different cases including the Commuter. The Defender is really going to have to be something special in order to beat the Trident.

Also, don't be an asshole. If you want to preach about otterbox and its virtues, do it in an otterbox thread. You are deliberately trying to derail this thread and it's a **** thing to do.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
Otter is certainly not the best case. They have had some quality issues of late. As far as cases go, there is no best case for everyone. Each person has their own needs and requirements for their case. The "best" case will depend upon which can meet those needs and requirements. I am really hoping a trident case that is compatible with the 3500mah extended battery is released.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Haters gon Hate!!! :D:D:D If that's the type of person you are, well...good for you.

btw, the screen protectors that come with all these cases suck. If you want a good one, you have to purchase it separately. If you're going to be a fanboy, at least know the product better than the people you are opposing in a debate. :cool:
[EVO 4G Accessories] halocaridina:
For those looking for a holster option for the Cyclops:

The Seidio Rugged holster is a perfect fit (as purchased under the Innocase Rugged Add-On Kit).
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I've read multiple confirmations on this. Good to know, thanks for the info!
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Well, as much as I disagree with your trolling. It looks like both the Defender and the Ballistic cases will be out next month on the 15th.

As much as I prefer the Kraken...if I get a good enough coupon/deal, I may go with one of those other cases if the Kraken isn't out...I believe they decide if they will even release an Evo Kraken towards the end of November.

I'll probably still get a Cyclops for the wife though, I do want to support Trident, their quality is good and have kept prices competitive so far.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Saltwater Hero:
I sure hope your right about it coming out on the 15th
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I hope I'm right also, but there's nothing official that I've seen yet, so I'm not counting on it. I really do prefer the Kraken, so it will be a bit anticlimactic now that the Defender and Ballistic cases are being released. :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
how is the built in screen protector for the trident?

so far i'm sold, but i'm hearing bad things about cases with built in screen protectors?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SoCalHapa:
I would be interested if they had some type of belt clip. Evo is too big to be in my pockets.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
i said screw it and ordered one. see how it goes.

i love how it looks and the fact that you guys are actually on here taking feedback from us earns a lot of respect from me.

i'm glad to support you all and can't wait till it gets here. ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I think the screen protector is the achilles heal. Their Facebook page has a few negative reviews.

There should be an upgraded protector out soon. I hope the Kraken is designed with the upgrade stock.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
oh, that kind of sucks.

i'm definitely looking forward to the kraken also.

from what i've seen, otterbox ironed out their screen protector issues for the new defender. i just can't bring myself to ever buy one. just something about it.

i'm confident trident will handle the issue for the kraken though.
[EVO 4G Accessories] cfrock:
So for those that bought one... 2 questions.

- Does ring the silicone ring stay on you do you have to keep realigning it?

- Are the power & volume buttons easy to press and functional?
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Yes and yes.
[EVO 4G Accessories] muzz3256:
The power and volume buttons work flawlessly. The only problem I've had with the silicone ring is other people looking at it and pulling it off. It's stays on itself just fine.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
this case is awesum..the screen protector is a bit flaky, but supposedly they are coming out with an upgrade/fix today
[EVO 4G Accessories] E.J.Su:
I was told that the new screen protectors had arrived in the office yesterday.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
yeah, they should of been up by now, but apparently they are having website issues.

when they work it out, the premium replacement screen protector will be 2.99 and will have free shipping for a limited time.
[EVO 4G Accessories] alxrock:
Proximity Sensor issues

I loved the case for the past week or two that I had it. It looks good and provides great protection. The built in screen protector wasn't bad and I was actually getting the screen upgrade for it but there was one big thing that killed it for me.

The proximity sensor wouldn't work properly.

If I made a call and ended up in a voicemail or if I needed to dial within a call for a menu I was stuck fumbling with my phone trying to get the screen to light up. On Facebook there were about 3 people who have had similar issues.

Such a shame since I really liked the case, but I need my phone to function properly.

I already got in touch with customer service (which everyone from the Company has been kind, understanding, helpful and just plain AWESOME!) and with regret will be returning the case.
[EVO 4G Accessories] re3v0lv3r:
Where is this information coming from? What's your source?
[EVO 4G Accessories] JUST2SUAVE:
U need 8 cases for one phone?
[EVO 4G Accessories] cfrock:
Question for you:

Is it the screen protector or actual case design thats not allowing the sensor to read properly?
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
Screen protectors are now up with free ground shipping.

Premium Screen Protectors (Cyclops EVO)
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
Mine works perfectly...plus, I ordered the upgraded screen protector last night..
[EVO 4G Accessories] muzz3256:
I've been having the same issue, and it's the case, the screen protector doesn't cover the sensor. what I suspect is happening is the opening for the sensor is not big enough and it can't get enough light when you pull it from your face.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
or, is it the color of the case?

I have the blue one and it works perfectly..
[EVO 4G Accessories] muzz3256:
I've got yellow
[EVO 4G Accessories] halocaridina:
I also have a yellow Cyclops, but experience no issues with the proximity sensor. Maybe its a problem that is phone-specific, kind of like the issue some people have with aggressively undervolted kernels (which my Evo handles fine but others have reported reboots with)?
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
could be..strange things always happen to electronic devices..

hopefully, people with problems have rebooted, done battery pulls, and tried other things to get this fixed..
[EVO 4G Accessories] alxrock:
I removed the screen protector thinking that might be the issue, but still had the same issue(even with no screen protection at all) I complained and they were sending me the upgraded screen protector at no cost (great customer service) but I decided to return it and just got the Otterbox Commuter. It's not as bulky, but I think it'll work out better. I just wish there was some color to it.

I read on another forum that someone had a white case and used a marker to color the area around the proximity sensor (on the case) black and it solved his issue. I never tried it but it makes sense since there is a bit of black on the inside of the case where the proximity sensor hole is cut out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
got my cyclops black case yesterday. so far it's great, i can see what people are saying about the screen though, so i ordered a premium to try it out.

i haven't had an issue with phone calls and the screen not comming back on.

perhaps some of the cases are not lining the hole up right over the sensor?
[EVO 4G Accessories] scoobdude:
I just ordered one tonight. Thanks for providing an alternative. I have had such a hard time finding a case i like with the features i wanted (fully covered buttons and screen protector + covered ports). That plus a great price and I am sold.

I did have one question though, how long with the upgraded screens be on special. we are waiting till mine arrives before I order 2 screens plus another case for my wife's phone. Unless you have the Kracken out by then :D

Also could explain what exactly is the new screen supposed to fix?

Oh and to add these guys also have the HDMI cables for 10 bucks!!! I know, not mono****e prices, but still a good deal if you ask me.

Last but not least, these guys so have meritline listed as an authorized reseller ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
the new screen totally eliminates any rainbow effect that you get with the "original" screen...works perfect, so dont bother getting this case without the screen upgrade!

I got mine from Meritline; poor Customer Service, but low price...

pick your evil, i guess!
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Not 8, but I do use 4 of them regularly. I switch them up based on what I'm doing-

Trident Cyclops- Work when on a construction site

Seidio Active Limited- Work when I'm in the office or at a customer's house

Otterbox Commuter- When I go out and drink (less bulky than the Seidio, more protection than the Barely There)

Casemate Barely There- Whenever I'm not using any of the other 3

I have an Innocase Surface that I never use because it is an overpriced piece of crap, and the other 3 were cheap ebay impulse buys.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Blitzpwnage:
Bah dont get me started with meritline!!! :P I tried them, but had problems so I just ordered directly through the Trident website!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Hopefully the Kraken doesn't have the same screen protector problem. I may try the Ballistic while waiting for the Kraken. My Seidio Rugged is getting worse by the day! I figure I could just get the Ballistic now and get a Kraken for the wife when it's released...or I'll just pain whichever case I like least pink and she can have that one!
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
just got my premium screen protector today.

looks great so far, i'm very happy.

in my opinion they should come standard with these. the original protector just wasn't cutting it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ekokinex:
I'm deciding whether to buy the Cyclops or wait.

I know the Otterbox Defender, Ballistic HC and possibly the Trident Kraken will be out this month. Then if I do its the decision of which case to actually buy. I like Trident's color options but Ballistic has a pretty good HC case for the iPhone 4 and Otterbox has a decent rep on making Heavy Duty cases.

I've got three cases so far and none of them come close to the level of protection these cases offer.

Any one having the blue tint issue with the Cyclops when taking pictures or is that only affecting some consumers like the prox sensor issue?
[EVO 4G Accessories] rejectedkid:
Anyway to get a pink one? My wife would love it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sinsay86:
yeah so would mine!
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouL Shadow:
I finally got my back ordered black cyclops a few days ago. I like it. My girlfriend's been using it to try out and she likes it too.

Soo, she said she would get one too, when they come in pink...

-SLS-
[EVO 4G Accessories] SouL Shadow:
Same here. Prox. Sensor works fine so far but the blue tint when using the flash was annoying. So I came up with a simple mod that reduced it significantly. I'll post a pic later, gf's still using the case right now.

-SLS-
[EVO 4G Accessories] thacounty:
This is a great looking case. I actually sent a customer home to purchase it from you guys and based on me saying that she did. Now, when she got it, she loved it and it worked great as a case. But... the proximity sensor is busted just like people here have been starting to mention. I think this is a major problem and should be addressed. I almost pulled the trigger on one of these and I didn't.

I also had to explain to one of my customers that she should color the inside of her case around the sensor with a marker. She happily did it to make everything work, but if she had been pissed I would have lost a customer for good.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
I could live w/ a blue tint.

Bring on the Pink Kraken!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] E.J.Su:
I am sorry for those who has the trouble with the sensor. I have already modified the opening to make it work better. Those who has a darker color case shouldn't have to worry about this, but if you are having trouble with the sensor, I would appreciate that you would send our customer service an email and let us know what color you've got. I am pretty sure we are willing to replace the case for you when the new version comes out.
[EVO 4G Accessories] thacounty:
Thanks! I will pass that info to my customer. She will be very pleased to hear this. It is a red case btw.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dogcmp6:
So i was going to ask if this would work with powermats back, then read the powermat thread and relized it was a dumb question, also just ordered my premium screen protector
[EVO 4G Accessories] scoobdude:
Got mine today. Waiting for the upgraded screen protector now.

My review:

Pros:

1) buttons work well, still prefer the clicky feel of my wife's htc silicon case

2) Sturdy and snugs the phone well

3) very easy to hold and grip

4) easy access to the kick stand

5) nice seperation for the various led,and sensors (would look cooler if they had an opening for the LED on the other side)

6) speaker still works awesome

7) light compared to other case of similar thickness

8) touch response on (original) screen is awesome. very little fingerprint, but is a tad more reflective

9) bottom usb/hdmi flap feels good and does not get in the way and stay shut

Cons:

1) it attracts dust (not alot, but it calms down with use it seems)

2) blue tint in pictures

3) stock screen has rainbow effect but you have to look for it

4) thick(er than i had hoped)

5) case does get in the way a tad with landscape keyboard and I have not been able to move stuff over to another home screen

6) original screen seems to attract dust especially around the edge.

7) headphone flap is kind of hard to open at time

Over all i really like the case. Buttons do work quite well like I said but they do feel a tad numb in feedback. Case has more traction when pulling it out of your pocket, but you feel like you have a better grip so you are less likely to drop it. I am not having the issue with the light sensor like others . I did get a black case so this maybe why.

Thanks trident.
[EVO 4G Accessories] :
Looks like a ****ing tank...

I like my phones sexy :D

Even when they innevitibily get cracked :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
That's the great thing about Evo cases and Android in general, there's something out there for everyone! I actually am not getting this case because it's a little too lightweight for me, I'm waiting on the Kraken. I may actually pick up an Otter Defender or Ballistic Case if they actually come out this month. But if the Kraken beat them...daddy loves him some Kraken!
[EVO 4G Accessories] snowboarda42:
What's the return policy if I don't like it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] dogcmp6:
My premium screen protector has the rainbow effect, and a bubble under it
[EVO 4G Accessories] scoobdude:
Mine had the rainbow as well. But it went away on its own. Did you follow the video on the qr code on the box? The premium screen protector is much better against fingerprints for me.

Thanks again trident. My wife's should be here soon
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
yeah, mine has started with the rainbow effect also. quite disappointing, but what can we expect for $3?

i still love the case. i'm going to pop out the premium and run the case with a martin fields protector i just got today. hopefully it works out well.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dogcmp6:
My rainbow effect went away, love the new screen protector now
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
:eek:

:D You know, getting a cracked screen isn't so bad now with the new Sprint repair program. But I don't mind the bulk :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] sanyi83:
count me in for interest in a Kraken for the Evo
[EVO 4G Accessories] Decimation:
Looks a little bulky.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
Exactly the point. I'm not happy with the flimsy cases that have been produced thus far. The Defender is thin plastic. I think the Cyclops has them beat...until the Ballistic. I am actually looking forward to the Ballistic since the Evo Kraken is dead.
[EVO 4G Accessories] thacounty:
The Kraken is dead?! I am planning on getting the ballistic too, whenever it decides to become available.

If anyone wants a Trident Evo Case, follow this link. Then enter 30htcoff. Just got mine for ~16-17 dollars. Lets hope they actually send me a product haha.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
who said the kraken was dead?
[EVO 4G Accessories] thacounty:
The person I quoted.
[EVO 4G Accessories] SpaceMonky:
lol, i know that. i'm curious where he got that information from.
[EVO 4G Accessories] firemedic1343:
If you go back a few days on their Facebook page, they originally said they would look into possibly developing it during the end of November. Later they say that it would be too bulky to create the Kraken for Evo. Which resulted in a response asking why it's not too bulky for the Droid X...they didn't respond.
[EVO 4G Accessories] gecko28:
As a female who puts the phone is a purse, I'm having trouble with rubberized cases not wanting to come out of the purse pockets without quickly ruining the satin linings of the purse pockets. I need a safe protecting case but with a slicker outer shell in order to meet my needs. I have a feeling this also would be a concern to other women.
[EVO 4G Accessories] chumpysv:
As a fellow female, this was also a bit of a concern. When I bought my evo back in June I got talked into the silicone skin sold at Best Buy. BIG mistake...it was ill fitting and would snag in my purse and fall off all the time. The seidio active worked better, but too much of the silicone skin was still visibible and the rubberized exoskeleton started peeling and became ugly. This happened TWICE to me with two different unites. Thee best case so far for purse use has been the Otterbox Commuter since the majority of the silicone skin is covered by a hard shell that is releatively slick and doesn't stick to satin linings. I've since upgraded to the Otterbox Defender and that is purely covered in a silicone lining so I'm considering sending it back due to the build quality. I have noticed the skin starts to stick less after a few days, but if you're looking for a case with decent protection and the least amount of stick you're probably going to want to go with the Otterbox Commuter due to the outer plastic shell covering the silicone.

How do I upgrade my build version to a newer version.

For example from Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 1.0 to Mdeejay eVo Sense v. 1.2 and keep the same settings, aps, ect

I know you copy over the data.img but what else should you copy over?

Also which program on my computer should i use? Windows Explorer or Droid Explorer
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iivuch:
Normally you would just copy your existing data.img to the new Android folder, before the first boot - whilst in WinMo. However it has been said many times before in this forum that this is not guaranteed to always work - but at least you can try. You could have tried several times already instead of opening new thread :)

- insert battery...do not let go of VOLUP & VOLDOWN
