After waiting for the Otterbox since I bought my Evo in July, the Tough Case comes out first. Here are some pictures and my thoughts.
I've used two different cases before this one. The Seidio Innocase II surface and a $7 TPU case from Ebay. The Innocase is the weakest of the bunch in my opinion, it's the same price as the Tough Case, but when comparing the two, the Tough Case is easily the better choice. The Innocase feels extremely cheap and wiggles too much for my liking. The TPU case was cheap, functional and my main case up until I received the Tough Case.
Pros:
Cons:
This is easily the best case out of the 3 I have. I was going to wait for Otterbox's Commuter case, but I was impressed with the Tough Case on a friend's HTC Incredible, so I picked one up for my Evo from Case-mate's website. I highly recommend it.

Pros:
- Excellent protection, uses a silicone skin as the first layer and a hard plastic shell as it's outer layer.
- It feels very well made and while still expensive considering, feels worth it compared to similar cases out there.
- Nice grip to the phone.
- Protects camera lens when the phone is facing up.
- Protects screen when phone is facing down.
- Comes with screen protectors and cloth.
- It's out now, you don't have to wait for the Otterbox.
Cons:
- Still expensive compared to what you can find on eBay.
- The silicon on the bottom wiggles slightly, some may find it annoying.
- Personal preference, but I wish the camera, speaker, flash area was covered up a little more (like the sample Otterbox cases), it seems like dust could get in there easily.
- Speaking of dust, the silicon skin attracts dust when it's in your pocket.
