I used to have a black rubberized one that broke, I bought another one (from what I thought was the same retailer on Amazon) and this one does not fit. Anyone want to recommend one?
The Qmadix case works well and is very cheap on amazon. Only problem is that you may break the little "fingers" on the "ring" part of the case that goes around the screen if you remove it which renders it useless. It happened to me. I was able to warranty it through the retailer since it was within 30 days. I tried to contact Qmadix first though but by the time they got back to me it had already been a week and a half which was putting me too close to the 30 day cut off. So I had warrantied it through the retailer. By the time I paid shipping to me the first time and shipping the broken one back I had almost $20 in the thing.
It'll fit with the extended battery from Motorola also if you leave off the back plate. It will go on with the back plate but the top right corner won't clip all the way on.
Comes with a protective sheath thing too that would be MUCH more useful if the belt clip could be removed without breaking it off..or if it somehow folded flush with the back of the sheath thing.

This may sound stupid, but did you remove the insert from the cardock? It comes with a shim installed to hold a naked phone, but it is removable to hold a cased phone.

So a few weeks ago I ordered Body Glove's plastic case with a kickstand on the back and apparently I paid too much for it. After putting it on my phone for the first time it immediately froze and I needed to use scissors to get it off. It scratched the back of my HD2 and every time I need to slide it off the phone it gets worse. Worse, the kickstand makes a loud click sound every time it's opened and doesn't seem like it'll last long.
Since I ordered both through T-Mobile do you think they would give me a new battery cover for free? They gave me my money back for the case but I didn't ask about the battery cover.
Well, seeing as you purchased both threw Tmobile, then i don't see any reason why they shouldn't help you with the prob
To tell you the truth, TMobile's customer service sucks, i had problems with my HD2 in fact i went through 5 handsets. I called and they were sending me my sixth one but it took 97 days to arrive. According to their exchange policy you have 90 days from the order date to return the defective handset or they charge you a restocking fee. ($490.00) and they charged me even though i hadnt recieved my replacement and would take the charge off my bill, i left them because of this, they are cheap and they arent in this for the customers.
sent from the phone that is EVO
body glove cover
i have had NO issues and love this case..1st off i never had the battery cover on with my case on so that's why mine has no scratches i guess? it just made since to me to keep it off since the soft reset is behind it. i have even drilled i little hole in the body glove plastic so i can reset it with out removing anything..i like the clear case and even added a sticker to the battery, so that it can be seen threw the case.
i have had the best luck with mine and wouldn't buy any other case....the stand holds up great and as long as your don't abuse it, "it will last" the noise how ever does seem to get softer as it gets worn in, but why does it matter?lol

I must confess that I doubt the veracity of the OP's story. I have had nothing but the best service with TMobile, and I've been with them nearly 5 years. 97 days for a replacement? Case that causes phone to freeze? I have had replacements: less than 7 days. I use the case: best ever.
I bought one of these and after a week and a half the little clips that hold the front piece on broke. Has anyone else had this problem? If so raw there any problem taking back? I sent my receipt in to get my rebate.

Even though you don't have your receipt you still should be able to go to the sprint store and have it replaced it.
When I got my Black case from the sprint store the guy told me that He also had a note in my acct. that I was entitled to have a free replacement if anything was wrong with it within a year.
Just got outta the Sprint store and got the black case. Fits tighter than the other one and just had to pay the difference. Plus this one comes with the belt clip.

If it's the HTC branded case, I'm rather shocked you broke it.
I've had mine on and off a few times and that bad boy is really tight. Actually, thinking about it, it may be because it was on so tight you had a hard time removing it and broke it.
You shouldn't have any trouble getting the case swapped out. It's a much better fitting case than the Seidio/Platinum version of the same thing and a good side effect, if you can get the Seidio belt clip it works just fine with this case.
The case was really tight. I knew that goin into it. And I only took it off once and was extremely careful when removing it. Even made a custom tool to get between the phone and the case. Shimmed it on either side of the clips so I wasn't putting any stress on em. Might of just been a bad cover. Got the black one with the faux cabin fiber on the back. Works awesome. Plus it makes the keyboard really stiff and since I use the on-screen keyboard I don't have to worry about the keyboard sliding out on me.

I cant even get the top portion of the blue htc case off its on so tight! anyone have this problem?? lol
That's why I made a little shim to stick between the case and the phone. Way too hard to get apart.

Is this something you left there full time or something more like a once used tool? If you left this there it may have caused just enough stress on the already too tight cover and caused your breakage.
This case was designed to go on, stay on FOREVER. hahahaha
I've only taken the front piece off 2x. Once to put on a screen protector then a week later to remove said crappy feeling screen protector. Other than that, the front piece stays on all the time.
It was just a one time use tool. Had to take the case off to change screen protectors. I made out of 24 gauge steel which is less than .04" thick. The case broke while trying to get it off a second time without the tool when my phone froze and had to pull the battery.

The only OEM accessory specifically designed for the HTC EVO Shift 4G and sold in Sprint corporate retail stores is the leather case. The black 3 piece carbon fiber and plastic cover/holster as well as the 2 piece black/blue and pink/white covers are manufactured by two different third party vendors.
going on 3 1/2 weeks and the case still fits snug
I bought the black/blue case from the Sprint store and mine also broke! The case was SO tight that when I tried replacing the case the corner clip broke off just like the OP! I bought a simple black replacement case on ebay for $5 and its snug as a bug, and comes off easily in case I need to access the battery compartment.
i have the blue black htc branded case i got mine at radioshack for 20 bucks after my foursquare mayors 20% discount and i have to say its perfect now if i could just find a leather case to fit over it
How did you get a foursquare discount?
Is this the case with the texturized back with the HTC logo near the bottom?
If so - it's been holding up fine for me over the past month, even survived a couple of drops to the ground from waste-high.
I have noticed that the slider has become slightly loose - like, it has maybe a millimeter of play in it now. Not sure if that's the because of the case, or because I dropped the phone on the ground twice in the past month.
Hi all,
I have recently switched to the Streak from owning all models of the iphone, and have not looked back. Such an awesome device, and android is great. Anyways, I had owned a case for my 3gs and Iphone 4 called the Mogotalk xd. It is a bluetooth/case/charger that keeps an extremely thin and very good bluetooth on the back of your phone. I have missed it very much, especially since the streak is huge and could really benefit from one of these...The product is very smart, and very thin...but this isn't a review, so you can check it out their site, which I can't link yet...just google or youtube it...
I contact ID8 support to ask if they would be making these cases for other devices, and they replied back that they would not. So, I decided to mod mine for my streak, and post it here in case anyone else wants to do the same. It came out very well I think, and was very easy...extremely useful...
I started by removing the felt lining (just peeled out), then, after messing around a bit, decided to just take an exacto knife to the rubber for the sides of the iphone. I cut right along the back of the case, so as to have a close fit. Pics attached ( I also cannot link pictures yet :-C)
I have 2 battery covers, so I then attached it with double sided tape (temporary, as I am looking for some way incorporate a kickstand next). I lined up the top of the case with the top of the battery cover. It still slides on fine. If someone wanted to, they could probably dremel the top of the case to fit perfectly on the battery cover, as the camera hole unfortunately is horizontal...and there are no electronics on the top half (bottom has charging port) The only thing you really lose is a few millimeters of thickness...but this thing is thin (still fits tightly in the car dock from dell) And now I have bluetooth that charges on my phone and is always with me. Really easy to do, and definitely worth it if you like talking on your phone, as this can be difficult with the streak. Let me know if you have any questions...you can pick this up on amazon or other sites for around 40-45 dollars..its worth it..
One thing to be careful of there is the battery compartment door. There's a power switch inside the Streak that's activated by a pin on the door and if the door moves your Streak will power down. This is a known problem with nothing on the door so I don't know how yours will behave with the extra weight/bulk hanging off it. I know good comfortable earpieces are hard to find so maybe you could incorporate the BT holder into another case instead of attaching it directly to the streak?
I thought about that, and it would be very easy for someone who wanted a case...however, I do not...The Case/bluetooth is extremely light, and for some reason, the battery cover now fits much more tightly in place..its not going anywhere...It would be really easy to just cut out out the back of a case, especially a silicone one, to fit...or to cut the top half as I said before and fit it into a hard case...
Are they good? They're even advertised as "Genuine" for $7~8, but without the HTC logo at front / back.
Ebay link
Note: Yes, we know that not everybody likes the dot view case.

Guess what bro, those aren't genuine either even if they say so. If you look at the pics you'll notice that some don't have the htc logo
I have the genuine gray, I bought it when I've got the phone, but I'm curious about the quality of the ones they're selling for $8, that's it.
To be honest they look exactly the same but I would like a closer look. Sellers in Amazon claim that they're identical to the genuine with the exception of the logo.

It doesn't say HTC and obviously an overseas knockoff. In my opinion it's much, much nicer than the OEM version. It will flip open all the way back easily and isn't near as springy. It also works with my .3mm glass screen protector, http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6100440084.html.

Don't use one of these cases for protection period. I can almost state with certainty that if you drop your phone on any kind of solid surface, it will definitely come flying out of these cases. In fact, if you clumsily open the case to fast the device will come flying out sometimes. That is in the original from Verizon. They offer some screen protection while in pockets or bags, but little to no drop protection & even in bags, the top & bottom of the device is not protected from scratches.
It was a little more than I remembered but it's 13$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/221503424128?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The pictures are of mine.
Beyond that I agree with the post above mine, the dot view case is very functional as an accessory but as a protector it's useless it pops out so easily.

And I also agree with the two previous posts. I bout the official case back in June and two weeks ago, it fell on a carpeted space and the phone flew out of it as well as the corners that secure the phone popping off. Since I enjoyed the functionality of the case, I ordered the above since spending $40.00 for something HTC will not stand behind (I tried to get them to replace it but was told they would not) was not something I was willing to do again.
I will report back pnce I get it.
I had the fake one with logo and the real deal case I got from a Verizon store. Felt the fake with the logo was just as good. So went to return the real deal case at Verizon. Turns out I mistakenly packaged the fake one and returned that one to Verizon(honest mistake). I had no idea until later when I took my One out of my csndyshell case and popped it in the dot view....So while I didn't mean to do that, I ended up with the real deal case. But honestly the fake one closed better than the real one. That is how close they are.
I'm on the Dot View case fence. I really like the concept but the reviews I've read have kept me from picking one up. Does the flap "loosen up" for lack of a better term after using it over time. What I mean is when open and flipped to the back does it start loosing it's springness that people complain about. I like hearing that the generic's seem just as good as the one from htc. I may just have to pick one up at the lower price.
I had an authentic one, and then recently bought one of those non-authentic ones.
As a direct comparison, they both look the same, but the quality is different. particularly, the dots' translucent level is very uneven, so you'll get random brighter vs darker patches
on the authentic one, all dots have consistent translucency
OME or Knock-off, I wish that someone would come out with one that snaps on decently (even if it used double-sided tape) and maybe wrapped in leather. The plastic makes the phone feel so cheap! I had the original. I have since misplaced it since I got a cheap otterbox knock off for now. Does the job, but I do miss the DotView for the cool factor.

I have an OEM Dot View case and love it. I spent about $15 for it on Amazon. HTC also updated Dot View to add more functionality. And I was surprised yesterday by the Halloween animations. I'm very impressed by it and glad I got it.
SoI received my case today in the mail and here are my findings:
1. The case closes just as well as the OEM one I had.
2. The plastic case itself feels a bit thinner that the OEM one but I like that since I felt the OEM one was a bit too thick and added bulk to the phone.
The "Seams are not as smooth as the OEM but I am going to try and use a nail file and see if I can't fix that my self
4. The "Springiness" of the hinge that is in the OEM is not present in this case as it was in the OEM
5. The cover does not lay flat on the back of the case when opened all the way but I think that is just due to the design of the case.
6. The case seeme to snap onto the phone as well as the OEM case did.
To me, the $8.00 I spent on this case is totally worth it. As a matter of fact, I might order myself a second one to have different colors to chose from. If you think about it, for the price of one OEM you can get 6 of these in different colors and still have $2 and change left over!
I posted some pics of the case but it's hard to see any details.
Hope this helps you guys make a choice.
