I noticed there is not a lot of reviews for ebay items on this site. Recently I purchased two items for my Evo and have been extremely happy with both. Here is a short review on the two items

1st is the Holster by Luxmo

This case is awesome and fits the Evo perfectly and is very well handcrafted

2nd is Some screen protectors I ordered. I saw the ridiculously high priced screen protectors made by other companies and didn't feel like 12.00-15.00 for some plastic plus shipping was going to be the deal for me. I have tried a lot of the other companies out there that most people use and although some are good, they are not worth the asking prices IMO.

Went on first try with no bubbles. I also have two backups

These protectors are very good from my first impression and you can't beat the price. They are smooth as glass and pretty resistive to scratches.


Everyone is welcome to contribute to this post any way they see fit. I would love to see some more reviews of other items purchased on ebay. I am not affiliated with any of these companies.

There are multiple sellers selling this holster at different prices. Look for the best price for you. The seller I purchased from has sold out but I will include a link to a different buyer.

3x For Sprint HTC Evo-4G Clear LCD Screen Protector - eBay (item 130397879026 end time Jul-04-10 11:10:25 PDT)

Fast shipping, at least for me. CA to GA in 6 days
 
Just purchased the screen protectors and case you recommended. Thanks for the links. It's hard to beat those prices. The screen protector I'm currently using is the official one from the sprint store but it only does the screen part and not the whole front. Hopefully should get them within a week and will update my impression of them.

Just received my cheap-o hard case from ebay (Zydistro) which also included a car charger and screen protector.

Case seems pretty good except for a square cutout that I didnt expect (and right where I want to put the soundgate m2 disc).

Screen protector is crap, scratched while putting it on (already threw it away, wasnt very interested in it anyways)

Car charger seems of usual chinese quality, the upper 1/3 level of quality at least.

I have to say the case alone is worth the price. I looked at the ones at BestBuy by rocketfish and $20.00 for some leather holster was too much for me. I could easily pay for it but just didn't think it was right, when ebay is always cheaper.

I haven't tried that sellers screen protectors so I can't say anything about the one you got. The one I have went on first try and had absolutely no bubbles, which was great. No liquid either, which is important to me because of the evo's slight light leak.

Great. I hope everything goes good for you. I'm very happy with the combo. I wish the protector was fingerprint resistive but you can't have everything I guess. Mine gets a little smudged and I just wipe it on my shirt and it's back to new. It has been scratch resistant though.

I would be interested in a review on the batteries. If they are good, I'm sure lots of people would get them.

I got that ebay battery charger with 2 batteries and I'm extremely happy with it. Not sure if the batteries are actually 1500MAH (I think they might be less), but they work flawlessly and I haven't had a problem with battery life on my EVO, using these batteries. The charger also has a USB port, if I want to charge the phone, while charging the additional battery.

Considering I had some ebay bucks to use and the price was so cheap, it was worth it IMO. AND it charges the OEM red battery flawlessly.
