Best online store for HTC EVO 4G accessories?

Best Buy or whoever is probably gonna get me on this one. Usually I don't get accessories there since they are heavily marked up but with a new device you have less choices online.

Still, I have seen a few links already for nice $10 cases and cheap-ish screen covers. I might just do that and spend $20 rather than $35 or more on a Sprint/Best Buy/Shack case.

The girl at the mobile counter at Best Buy told me they usually lag behind a little bit on getting accessories. I think the Sprint store will likely be the best bet at launch.

Luckily it looks like there are some nice cases showing up online already. I might just go naked for he first week or two while I pick out a nice case.

...or I might say eff it and buy an overpriced one at the Sprint store if they look nice.

Carefull going all nude... The thing is a beast, and can fly right out of those mitts. I would opt for a Sprint skin, they'll have a bunch at launch. I'll prob just grab a black one, simple and easy, and then wait for casemate to drop something. Stay away from the plastic cases, they will scratch that beauty up.

This is exactly what I was looking to get for the EVO! My previous BlackBerry Curve came with a case like this and it kept it protected in the times when it was most vulnerable to getting scratched; my pocket.

Think I'm going to order that case, and have ordered a screen protector from PhantomSkinz. That should be enough protection for the EVO. :D

I'm getting that one too but in a different color. Unless more come out before the 7th. I was going to get one argyle silicone and one solid color one. I called them and they said one stretches and one doesn't. But if you look at the rubberdized ones or hard case they cover up the camera hole in the front.


This case looks really cool...

the front of EVO is 95% screen and the rest is buttons. Theres nothing for a hard case to protect on the front. Thats where the invisible shields come in.

I have an invisible shield for my Hero but think I will skip it, at least at first, for EVO. The Hero has been kept scratch free but I notice a noticeable (though occasional) drop in usability with the capacitive screen.
