Default Would you like to see a Speck CandyShell case for Evo?

The only thing I miss about my iPhone is my Speck CandyShell case. If you would like to see a CandyShell for the Evo, please go to http://www.speckproducts.com/about/contact_us and send them a note requesting they make CandyShell's for the Evo. If enough of us request it, maybe they will consider! It's a long shot, i know

edit: after a week of owning the Evo, turns out there are more things I'm missing about my iphone then just the case unfortunately. namely battery life, charging time, and size/weight. don't get my wrong, i wouldn't go back. just saying...

hells no, they can keep their overpriced ****. i'm got my case off of ebay because i don't see the justice of paying over $15 for a case. that's all it is folks, a plastic case. i aint paying $35 for something i can get off of ebay for $9.

YES! I've got the Candyshell case on my iPod Touch, and I was just searching for news on one for my Evo. I sent in a request.

My friend has one of these for his iPhone and i like it, but it adds to much bulk. If they made a "slim" line, i would be DOWN cause it looks like it fits the phone well and keeps the dirt out from getting behind the case and scratching things up!
If i helped you please hit the thanks button

model: Tmo Galaxy S3 (white 16gb)
ROM: Flavor of the day
Kernel: Usually Faux

really? i feel just the opposite. its very slim, at least in my opinion. and to the guy saying $35 is too much for a case, you're right. thats why i got my candyshell on amazon for $16 shipped Im not too worried about the price of a case anyways, I mean I am putting a $550 device in it, so even if it was $35, no big deal. I have watched friend after friend crack their iphone screens, and I had dropped mine every way possible and not a crack or a scratch on it. a case needs to have a soft inside and a plastic outside to protect properly. thats just protection 101. you wouldn't wear a solid plastic helmet would you? no, that would hurt like hell. it needs to have padding in it! also, Speck does make "slim line" type cases without the soft inside, but obviously at a cost.

I heard back about my request:

Thank you for contacting Speck!

I have no ETA on when a new case/color would be available but please check back on our website and sign up for email alerts on new products. Please join our mailing list for email alerts on Sales and New Product Releases!
After poking around their site I can't see where they've made ANY cases for HTC products before. Looks like they're mainly Fruit company products.

Default TPU ftw.

I loved my speck cases, but now that I have bought an argyle TPU crystal gel case I'll never go back. I love these cases! TPU FTW!

Lightbulb Reconsider the benefits.

Reconsider the benefits of shelling out a few more dollars.

1.) Quality - The protection you get from a quality case vs. a plastic shell is justification enough. How long before you end up shelling out more money for a replacement due to "low quality" materials used for your case?

2.) Durability - A simple hard plastic shell does not absorb impacts very well and may not only break after one fall but can also allow enough internal jolt from a fall to not only damage an internal component in your device but can lead to a severe impact that will cause your screen to crack.

3.) Protection - Cheaper is not always better when it comes to protection. Would you buy a cheap ass condom hoping that it will protect you in the same way a known brand will offer it's protection for you?

For the retail price of $549.99, I'm willing to shell $25.00 to get a quality case for my investment.

SEIDIO INNOCASE LIMITED ON AMAZON FOR $25.00
