I got the one from seidoonline, and it is good, but in my opinion you have to get used to opening (sliding) your phone with care. There are little tabs that hold the case to the phone, and for me it feels like the phone hits these tabs if you open it up too fast.
I'm not sure if it is the same for the boxwave one.
I ended up also buying the aluminum case, with the only downside being you have to open it up (the case) all the time to use the touch screen for the phone.

-1 for Seidio. It took over a month to get it since after I ordered it 3 days later they said it was backordered. 2 weeks later it finally ships. It will be the last order I place with Seidio.

well i just ordered the seidio case because i think it will work to my liking. but over a month to receive it is a bit much. ill tell you how my order goes...

I got a Seido Case. Honestly I like it. It fits tight and feels easier to grip. I just ordered it on the 13th had it by the 18th.

I love my Armor case from boxwave. I dropped it on it's corner the very next day. The case popped open, and the Tilt separated into phone and bat cover in the parking lot. Put them back together and running strong. Decent dent in the armor case, but I'm SURE the phone would not have survived otherwise, lol. You should see the pics of me dropping it since. Talk about battle damage

I'll be getting the Seido case for my Tilt. The boxwave case looks like the cheapo stuff you can find on ebay for 1/4 the price.

seidio case
hey just got my seidio case in. ordered on the 23rd, received on 28th. nice looking case. exactly how i wanted it and covers the AT&T sign on the top if you dont like that on your tilt. i say go seidio

I like the white Boxwave - most pics are of the black. Plus the drop story has me sold...
AND I like a clip better than a holster

I´m using this ones since long time and work for me very good: http://www.boxwave.com/products/categories/screen_protectors.htm
Also know about this ones:http://proporta.com/search.php?q=protector+de+pantalla
Hope it helped,
I'm using Bodyguardz, and have been very impressed by both the quality and customer service. Invisible Shield's are good too, and I've used them before, but the Bodyguardz beat them in my opionion.
http://www.bodyguardz.com
I have used bodyguardz on my TP and invisible shield on my Tilt. I liked bodyguardz better since they actually give you 2 sets of full body protectors. also, the invisible shield version of the Tilt had a horrible fit. Also, I recommend using a different protector for the screen itself (I used the one that came in the box). the ones that come with bodyguardz and IS ruin the feel of the Touch Screen. In my opinion, it makes the screen have a slight rubbery feel to it. I also find, that response isn't as good. However, it BG protects the restof teh device pretty well.
I've been using the ones from boxwave since I got an axim x51v. Last time I ordered something from them, they never shipped it
I was considering the invisible shield, but it sounds like bodyguards is worth a shot.
I'd stay away from the Invisibile shield. The touch feels very rubbery, I threw it away the first week.
I've read some good reviews on Martin fields.

I already got the bodyguardz. Haven't got a chance to put it on the phone yet. You have to spray some stuff on it before applying to the phone, and they recommend not using it for 24 hours after applying. They can't be serious, how the hell am I not gonna use my fuze for a day? I'm sure i'll find a way to eventually, or the bodyguardz will sit in the top of my closet collecting dust.
i got the boxwave crystal clear. imo its pretty dang good, super clear, easy to apply, no bubbles...if you like the one that came with the fuze this one is like it. possibly more slippery i dont remember but really good. only thing is i paid for 3-5 day shipping and according to usps they got it the next day but the thing didnt get to my doorstep till 13 days later

What probably happened was the shipper printed a label and by doing so notified the Postal Service it was ready for to be shipped. However, that doesn't always mean the shipper ships it out the same day.
I have been using this protector I bought on Ebay... I bought a 3 pack back in January and still only using the 1st protector. I use my Fuze a lot and this protector is not peeling back or anything. Here is the link:

Seidio Innocase (Black) $24.85 SHIPPED

emobileinhand.com has teamed up with Amazon and they're selling the Seidio Innocase for $24.85 shipped. I added Priority shipping and the total was $26.85. I bought my first Innocase from them but I got wasted on St. Patricks Day and broke it. The phone is fine, thank God.
The Seidio Innocase is hands down, THE BEST case for the Kaiser. The holster (strongly recommended) really keeps the device safe.
Right now, I'm using my Boxwave as a backup. I like it, but the belt clip forces you to wear it with the screen facing out which could lead to damage.
This is a great deal.
http://emobile-in-hand.amazonwebstore.com/search.htm?keyword=B0012Y4IQA
I have this case and imo its overpriced crap. The thing rarely stays on all the way. It seems there's always a corner or something to press down on again to get it to stay on it.
If you want a nice case cheap, just buy a cheapy. I bought one off Amazon for less than $5 and it stays on all the time never have to worry about it at all. The only difference is the holster and finish. The Seido has a nicer feel to it due some coating they put on it. And the holster for the cheapy is one of those screw on job's.
But hey if you want to spend $20 on a coating for something that will fall off, go ahead its on sale!!
Satisfied
I've used it for 2 weeks now and it stays on, feels great on hand, and haven't found any peeling of the rubberized layer.
I used to put on PDAir Aluminium for my SE M600 and it also go roughed up. So you can imagine my usage habit and this Seidio performs beyond my expectation.
Yea, I dunno man, I never have had a problem with my Seidio. You just have to make sure you have it on correctly. The boxwave is a very close second though. I wish Boxwave had a holster similar to Seidio's.
The great thing about the Boxwave is that it has a "notch" for the reset hole so it's almost impossible to miss and end up messing up your USB port.

I don't know how someone could fit it on incorrectly. It only goes on one way and its pretty obvious which way that is.
My biggest problem w/the case is that if i slide that keyboard out it will knock off the bottom hinges.
IMO its not a secure case. Is it designed well as far as all the little notches and slots? Yes. Does it feel nice in your hand? Yes. Does it look nice? Yes. Is it worth more than $5? No.
Is this really much different to the 'crystal cases' that you can buy from the markets and crack after a week in your pocket?
Dont u dare!
Dont even think about buying this pathetic case. after much debate i bought this hoping it would protect my kaiser. i spent a week looking for the perfect case, went through everything i could find. i received the case, it snapped on easily, i hardly had an issue with the little hinges, the case lasted me a good 18 months. the rubberised outside is a nice touch, imo the phone doesnt look good with the case, but i stuck with it coz it protects your phone, right? well not quite. what the assholes at seidio dont tell you is that yeah they've rubberised the outside but done nothing inside the case. its plastic, which means after a couple of months you start to accumulate **** inbetween the case and the outside of the fone. ordinarily it might not be a problem, but if like me the fone spends most of its time in the back pocket, in bags etc then any grainy kind of crap between a plastic cover and a kaiser = ? you guessed it, major dents, scratches, gouges etc. i didnt check the phone for a good 3 months after i put the cover on, when i took it back off my phone looked like id rolled it down a hill and then threw it back up again. its ruined my kaiser and now i cant sell it on unless i buy another housing and put it on myself. it may be error on my part assuming that a protective case protects the outside of your fone, i dont know. this is my experience of this ****ty case, take it or leave. i think you'd be better off buying the cheapy crystal ones, coz then atleast you can see when your phone needs cleaning and you dont end up ruining it.
sorry for going on and on.
paradoox
Thanks for your feedback paradoox,
anyone else have similar long term reports?
On a separate note, i found out that Boxwave do a very similar (nearly identical) case and holster. Anyone handled both the Seidio and Boxwave for a comparison?
yep thats pretty much what i thought

I had a similar experience as paradoox, bought it, thought it looked crap but left it on to protect fone, few weeks later discovered one of the little little tabs holding the top half of the case on snapped so it wouldn't stay on.. this is when i found scratches and dents under the case too. imo ... the case is just too expensive for how it performs... better to go thu 3 cheapies i think..
It all depends on your usage and carry habit.
I carry my phone on a leather pouch on my belt, with the Seidio snuggly fit on it, so it won't slip whatsoever.
It does make sense that some grits, etc. will get under the case, but I just opened it up 1-2 weeks ago and found nothing. Remember, I live in Jakarta, taking public buses and lots of fumes, dust, etc. around the air.
Of course it has to be also counted that I rarely open my phone in public (dusty, windy area) mainly for security reasons. I don't flaunt my belongings. I worked in an office building, and the phone is often out, but it's a clean environment.
Again, YMMV. For someone who wants no dust, I read somewhere there's a waterproof case for Kaiser ..
For my use, Seidio works great.

EVO Case Discussion - Best, Thinnest, Toughest, etc

I'm in the market for a new case since the $3 one I bought on Ebay is starting to peel finish. I'm looking for the thinnest, slickest case out there.
What case are you using?
Do you like it?
How much was it?
Where did you buy it?
Pictures?
THX!
well i would like to know this as well.
However i can enlighten you on how horrible the body glove case from sprint is. it looked great and was loving the feel until after a week, pulled it out of my pocket to find the case was broke where the volume rocker is. needless to say it looked and felt good but all in all i do NOT recommend it to anyone.

Mine did exactly the same thing, lasted about two weeks.
Funny, I ordered one of the $3.00 ones off of Ebay to replace it.
Actually I got mine on Amazon... forgot. This is the case I bought and while it is pretty thin and fits well, the paint job is totally shotty and now looks horrible:

I bought the white and chrome case from Sprint when I got the phone. I have had my phone since the release day for the EVO and the case still looks brand new. I really like the leather feel, and the chrome accents add to the overall beauty of the phone. I would recommend the case to anyone!
A guy I work with bought this one on Ebay about 2 weeks ago and says he's still happy with it:

That Seido case looks bulky no? I'm looking for something that doesn't add to the already large footprint of this thing in my pocket.
How about the Otterbox cases.. anyone have experience with them on other devices (not out yet for the evo)

i have the body glove universal holder from radio shack which works for me. however, i am looking at getting the Seidio Innocase holster case combo... which is a steal on amazon as the case itself is $30 at sprint and the combo is $30 on amazon.

i already tried the case and its nice and fits inside the body glove holder too, snuggley like pigs in a blanket at ihop.
Shouldn't this be in the Accessories forum?
(Black TPU case FTW.)
Yep... should be in accessories thread... my bad.
Are the otterbox cases thin though... I'm really looking for the thinnest case out there.
I always just wait for some YouTube reviews to pop up, shows me are how big the case is in real life. (Or as real as I care to get.)

Looking at the impact series case it doesn't look to be too bad. I really like the looks of the bottom two cases, so I signed up to be notified when they come out. I had the Sprint Body Glove case, had since release actually, but the volume rocker area just cracked last week. Lasted longer then most I suppose.
I've got the Seidio Innocase holder IceCreaMan linked to and it has been nice. It's got a nice texture, doesn't slide easily, isn't bulky, has a belt clip, and with the case on, it makes it so the camera doesn't stick out. It doesn't cover anything either so you still have your speakers, cameras, microphones, plugs, etc. Would definitely recommend it.
the Innocase II is a proven design in my opinion
its thin, and can take a drop (ive dropped mine from 8ft + onto concrete without any cracks in the case/damage to the phone)
I got a couple cheap cases from ebay; they're the clamshell design that has a front & back the snap together. They all felt too big and bulky though, so I got a Talon to replace 'em. Love it. Just snaps onto the back of the phone and protects the corners from drops and the camera from scratches when laying the phone on it's back. I have an InvisibleShield on the front to protect the touch screen from scratches.
The talon is almost like not having a case at all -- doesn't add much bulk to the phone.
And it's only 10 bucks.
Got my case today, I was a little worried because two days after I purchased it Ebay pulled all of the sellers listings and sent me a notice saying I could file a claim to get my money back. Since the seller had good feedback, and he had notified me that it had been shipped (from China), I decided to wait and see if it would show up, which it did.
I really like it, much better fit and quality than the Sprint body glove I had on my phone before. Time will tell if it lasts, but I have to say for $3.00, I am pretty impressed. It has a soft feel that gives a more secure feeling grip than the body glove, plus it is slightly thinner, but still protects the camera lens. Plus it is red, love the color.
Wish I could give a link to the one I got, the seller has put some of his cases back up, but no Evo cases yet.
Here is a link to a red rubberized hard case that looks very similar to the one I got.

UK accessory supplier?

Morning all,
To all you UK oppo find 5 owners (I'm assuming I'm not the only one!) - have any of you come across a UK supplier selling accessories? I bought a case from ebay but it's coming from China and will take about 2 weeks to arrive. I quite fancy the flip cover being sold on oppo's official site but I think 35 Euros (includes delivery) is a bit steep.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Much the same as you unfortunately. I ordered a couple of cheap Nilkin (knockoff?) cases from eBay 2 weeks ago but still not received them. They don't protect the top and bottom so are really just for rear scratch prevention.
Yesterday I looked at loads on Aliexpres (China suppliers) and grabbed a rubbery TPU that at least covers all sides and has a little bit of impact protection. I've also gone for a couple of those Aluminium (read signal killer!) cases as they were on offer for£22~ delivered compared to other places like Taobao agents or Casefanatic where the price is almost double.
Not sure we'll ever see UK sellers unless it's at inflated prices given it's not a mainstream phone. Might do a mini-round-up when/if they all arrive as it's hard to tell from just pics.
Here's my list...not really expecting any of them to be perfect. :cyclops:
eBay Nilkin
Alu case (ordered 1 black and 1 silver)
Plastic red snap-on (no idea if this will be decent or not)
TPU stretchy thing (might be good for grip with pattern?)
Bit of a shot in the dark with those but don't really see the Easy Cover worth the price given the top/bottom are exposed and I'm not a fan of wallet-type cases.

Dead Nexus... movin on

I had a spider cracked glass on my phone so I order the replacement. Had it for a bit but couldn't seem to find the time to fix it. Dropped it another time or two, the the digitizer went. Broke the ribbon cable to power/volume buttons. My beloved Nexus is officially dead. So I find myself holding a brand new replacment glass, a otterbox defender case, and I know i have a few screen protectors in a box somewhere. Couldn't find another Nexus 6, had no phone, couldn't/wouldn't spend the bucks on a pixel2, so I bought a moto z2 play. unlocked and not much bloat, so I am happy for a time. Sub $400 dollar phone, but ok features for a mid-range device. Had an motorola Atrix way back when, and it had a finger print reader on it. Missed it since then, glad this phone has it. So, good by to nexus folks. Mod Edit: no selling/trading on XDA - use www.swappa.com
peace out folks
Wait... they made an actual, real deal Otterbox Defender for the shamu? Or are you talking about some random rugged case for it? Got pictures?

no otterbox but im fairly certain it is in reference to this case https://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-body-Protective-Protector-Resistant/dp/B00OHFGMGU
I actually found that case for $5 at the thrift store, unused. The timing was excellent as my old case had just failed. Ironically, the failed case was one of the dual-material Unicorn Beetle cases from Supcase. The TPU separated from the hard plastic at the seams. Anyway, the case mentioned in the previous post was both a pain to put on and remove, and made the N6 even larger. Add approximately a half inch total to each of the three dimensions: length, width, and height, and be thankful Supcase included a belt holster, because you're going to need it.

ya i had it too it was a major piece of crap, ironically the 95 cent ones from china or wherever someone posted a year or so ago work great :fingers-crossed:
I went with an Incipio DualPro as a replacement and that worked well. So well in fact that the second thing I did with my Pixel 2 XL after purchase from Google was to head to the nearest Verizon store and pick up the DualPro for the P2XL.
My roommate uses the N6 now, but she didn't like the fact my DualPro case was in black. She got one in pink *rolls eyes*
