HTC EVO 3D
Tried Otterbox Defender/Commuter, Ballistic HC/SG, Trident Kraken/Aegis, Case-Mate Tough Case. All had various design issues, so now I'm using a Trident Cyclops (along with the included front and back camera screen protectors), which I think is by far the best Evo 3D case.

WTF? You're breaking your device on purpose to get a new one?
And why the hell did htc do that? There are enough stickers in there to tell that the thing was taking a serious dive. And this usually eats up your warranty.
But since it worked: congrats!

InvisibleSHIELD only

I generally don't like cases for my phones so I have been rocking the InvisibleSHIELD by Zagg screen protector for a while now. I works for protecting the screen but sometimes it gets kinda smudgy and cloudy so I have been thinking what else it out there that is good for that.

Requirements
- No finger prints
- Protects against scratches

Any suggestions?

My launch 3VO has been rocking a cheap, TPU case for 11 months. It holds its own shape, fits snuggly around the 3D, leaves all the ports open, and most importantly MY 3VO IS PERFECT AFTER DOZENS OF DROPS.

No screen/body damage.

They don't sell the one I bought exactly, but an updated version..

I'm not into otterboxes or cases that cost more than $10 frankly. Nothing made out of plastic/rubber/silicone that small should ever cost more than that.

The only caveat is you drop your phone's screen directly onto a sharp edge, which I've never done. Mine usually falls out of my lap or onto the ground, and I pick it up and its fine.

Update NY
Zagg and otterbox defender with the built in screen protector removed. I work in a machine shop so the bulk protection and covered ports are just what I need.

Even Morgan is able to loose is dexter ity.
I was like you from over 2 years now (so no protection at all) and now after a big jump of my 3vo (glass and LCD broken) which costed me around 220€ to repair, I am reading this thread to find out the most convenient protection for daily usage.

Keep lucky Sypris:p

    Ballistic HC. Thinking of trying to mod (Dremel) it to fit an extended battery, but I worry about borking the kickstand if I do. Anyone try this yet? I've seen it work on different Evo's.

    I did it a few months ago and its still going strong!
    Infact I just ordered the new version so i'm gonna do a V3!

    V1 one was a bit rough but the pics below are V2 with no loss of kick stand and still fits in the holster with and without outer! :p

    I just used a dremel with a 25mm saw attachment to cut the hole.
    Then some stuff called Q Bond which is a 2 part filler powder and glue to fill the gap and re-bond the 2 parts.
    I then used Miliput Black epoxy putty to smooth the outside. the 2nd to last pic is a aftermarket battery cover that I modded to fit, otherwise you cant use the vol and pwr keys!
    the reason its that shape is so the phone doesnt move inside the case + I messed it up abit with V1:eek:

    Next time i'll use an original back cover for a slightly better fit inside and just cut a hole for the battery to poke through.

    It works though man, when I first cut the case I was like..what have I done!? but with some patience and careful measuring to make the battery fit inside, it certainly can be done and its lasted some daily abuse from me.
    It only comes out of the case for the odd battery pull and some dust clearing form the inside.

    The reason I'm getting the new version is so I dont have to used the silicone outer for the dust plugs + the HC screen protector is now seriously scratched up from stone dust...a good thing as it proves its protecting my phone :D
