Accessories Quest for the tightest thinnest EVO Case

Zeleran · Jun 15, 2010

Yeah, those definitely help. Thanks much. Though it still looks like the lens is a TINY bit above the case, so it could still get scratched. Hmm.. What to do..

dbpaddler · Jun 15, 2010

as I mentioned, I am above plane. I could easily make it look flush if I changed the angle of the shot slightly. If you look at the bare evo, you'll notice below the camera it starts to thin out slightly as it goes to the top of the phone. That slight angle on top of the thickness of the case does enough that the lens isn't touching. That's what I tried to show with the side shot.

Personally, I think it's just a dumb *ss design where they could have at least recessed the outer lens a millimeter or two.

Wow just got the seidio 2 innocase and it is sexy and thin! I put on a screen protector I purchased from ebay and my Evo setup is complete... I have not loved a setup like this on a phone since my iphone, oh so beautiful.

dude i'm so excited for this case to come in. hells yah. very nice.

dbpaddler · Jun 15, 2010

I've always liked the innocase, but that snap on is thinner and a bit sexier, especially in red. I do think they are the two to get when going for the minimalist look. Just depends how minimalist you're going for and if you want a combo solution with a holster like Seidio has.

Do see how the fit is on the Innocase2. Many of us have had a less than optimal fit and there's even a thread about shimmying in some felt to tighten it up. Now Seidio has chimed in saying they'll replace the loose cases and are really testing the newest batch to make sure it's a tighter fit.

Did you get the rubber or hard version of that case.

Is there any difference in the Black and Red case ??

yes sir. I'm sure there are a couple sellers selling it, considering I bought two from two different sellers.

Linky?

Yup. Exactly whtI just bought, with mirror face. I am curious how well the mirror part works.

Please post pics if you can of the green case. I just bought one too and cant wait to see what it looks like. Hopefully not TOO bright.

Innocase is definitely going back. This fits like a glove. Super tight fit. Doesn't have the same coverage, but it just feels so much thinner. And the lens doesn't touch the surface the phone is laying on. The minimal added thickness in the back is enough to make the slight angle it's on be enough to clear what the phone is resting on.

I almost want to return the innocase holster too because it's definitely a baggy fit in the holster. Makes me wish they made an innocase for the HD2, because I bet the holster that goes with it would be a perfect fit for the Evo with this snap on case. Either way, probably the best sub $10 case I've bought for a phone outside of the Pre holster I bought that pretty much resembles a Seidio holster in fit and finish right down to the velvet coating to protect the screen.

Highly recommend if you want some protection but want to keep the minimalist look. I bought the black too, but this ebay seller is in PA and got it to me in 3 days. I actually really like the red contrasting the black.

I am in infatuated with your red evo. I ordered my case a few days ago... and am now more excited than ever after seeing your pictures. Thanks!!

It's NEON, how can you say ... I hope it's not TOO bright, when it says NEON GREEN in the title lol

Roman G. · Jun 16, 2010

I got this one, and the innocase active, and my replacement phone coming in to day

Now if the UPS guy would hurry up I would be golden

dbpaddler · Jun 16, 2010

Here's one seller with the case.

Also, searching "evo red rubberized" will bring up a few more ranging from $5.50 on up.

The more I carry it around in the red case, the more I'm liking it. Just makes the phone seem so much smaller than in the Innocase.

Droidone · Jun 16, 2010

That case looks great. I might have to reconsider about the pt case from best buy. This is cheaper and thinner. I am just worried about the top and bottom being exposed

This is the same exact as mine (except color). Thanks for saving me the work of putting up pics.

The case I thought I was getting was a two piece case. will post upon arrival IY"H

dbpaddler · Jun 16, 2010

There's only so many chinese wholesalers pumping out cases. In this case, they did it right. This snap on is a far cry from those front/back snap together cases that normally go for under $10. So anyone else looking, don't spend over $6 or so for this case. There's quite a few sellers selling them.

oh wow, i don't know if anyone had a chance to take a look but case-mate has gelli cases coming soon for the evo. i think we might have a winner here, folks. i'm buying them as soon as they're available and will report back.

I read added bulk when I read that description. The "barely there" case seems very similar to the $6 ebay ones based off of their description:

Covers the back and corners of the HTC EVO 4G

.

Free shipping and a screen protector seems to help with the price though.

why cares about a 'free' screen protector, sounds like you were the type of kid who got excited about a pet rock.

I just didnt want it to look tacky bright. Some things look good in bright colors, maybe a phone isnt one of them haha. My favorite pair of shoes are a pair of NEON green Nike Air Max 2009s. So the color doesnt bother me, its just not something I can picture (in person) on a phone.

Really I just used that as an excuse to see some real pics of it, until mine arrives

Still haven't got my case. Me so sad.
