Accessories My $7.99 Amzer E Bay Case Arrived Yesterday..Its The Best!

What a great case this thing is for NO MONEY! Its not Amzer branded but it is the same case with the subtle argyle printing on the back. It seems that Amzer must buy this case from a Chinese maker that also sell it to other outlets under different brand names. The smoke color blends with the phone so well and the case fits so well that you can hardly tell a case is on the phone at all. It gives excellent protection and is very easy to take on and off. There is no reason for anyone to go caseless now.

For owners of this case, how is the fit on the left and right sides of the screen? Is it snug enough that it creates a nice even line on the left and right? I absolutely cannot stand cases that fit loose on the left and right and create a wavy or less than straight edge. Also it looks like the volume and power buttons are covered with the case material, how is the operation of these buttons with this case on?

Photos of this case on your phones would be great.

Fits like a glove. Buttons work great, Improves ease of pushing power button.

It's not silicone. I posted good pics here. It's thermoplastic polyurethane. Very different from silicone. It's more plastic than rubber.
I'm a bit confused. The one you linked to you called a TPU case, is it definitely TPU? The eBay link was dead, could you link me to another auction of the same case?

How is this different than the Amzer Argyle or Epik cases?

Finally do you have any pics showing the case on the EVO from the front so the entire screen with the case installed is visible?

fixed the link in that post. links to all the ones they have active. Think they raised the price a buck.

It shouldn't be different. Look at the pics. I'm not doing all the homework. Go to the pics others have listed of the various cases. But I wouldn't be surprised if they're all coming from the same mfg. If you actually take a moment on ebay and search "HTC EVO THERMOPLASTIC" and include item description you'll see all the cases including the Epik one, which I assume would answer your question. You'll also see cheaper ones now too. In fact, one guy in another thread linked to ones for $2 coming from hong kong.

guys, and/or girls, the amzer argyle tpu cases are the same thing as the ebay ones except cheaper, and most times you'll get it faster.

as far as ebay listings ending, etc, if you take the last 12 digits and paste that into the ebay search box, the listing will come up. so for the OP, you would search for
130404311997 (this listing has in fact ended)


if you wanna buy from the seller i got mine from, search for
400129173520

i ordered mine on a friday morning and it was in my mailbox by monday afternoon.

I got mine yesterday and it's the best I've tried so far (bb platinum, ebay silicone, clear, plastic). The pattern is verry subtle and looks great with the red Evo accents showing through. Easy to manipulate the power & volume buttons and fits very tight on both the right and left. Mine seems to bring the camera exactly flush with case, so not sure how protected it is. Overall a good buy for $8.00.

It's interesting how difficult it is for people to go on ebay and type in "HTC Evo Argyle" and come up with answers. Are people that search illiterate?

someone also posted in another thread a black one for $2.

Not sure why you are so annoyed by this thread. I'm far from illiterate, I just find your information to conflict and be confusing. You post a link to pics of your case which clearly does not have the argyle pattern. So I wasn't sure if that was TPU. Then you make the comment above to search for the argyle style case.

Not only that but searching for "

"HTC EVO THERMOPLASTIC" as you suggested actually results in no search results.

I thought a forum was to help other enthusiasts, not to scold them.

You have to check the little box that says search title and description and you will find them...
