I've never owned a phone as large as the 3D so trying to get ideas on how to protect it. I usually carry my phones in a leather side case, but I am also considering putting a bumper on it for those inevitable falls. Most bumpers arnt compatible with side cases tho. So what will you all be getting?

Ordered the HTC kickstand case from HTCPedia.com, since I use my 4G's kickstand a lot and I think I'm going to miss it on the 3D.

I'm not sure what to do. I've always owned Blackberries, and I now have the HTC Arrive - I've always just put them in my front jeans pocket and been good to go. Obviously this monster is NOT going to fit in my pocket, particularly with a case. I either need to start carrying a purse (I've never been a purse sort of girl) or figure something else out. I feel like a dork if I use a holster.

I'm torn. I'm not a case fan, especially on a phone so large, but I do like the Ringke case on my brother's Nexus S. Sadly, they have no plans on making one soon. But the extra 2mm or so might drive me mad.

I like the HTC case, but it will probably be too bulky.

I will likely still use a screen protector, but anyone have any suggestions to those that feel as close to the screen as possible? Ghost Armor was good on my Pre, BSE/Zagg no. The Ringke screen protector for the nexus isn't too bad actually either. But trying to get my options lined up for whoever has it first.

heh, I was going to comment how could this not fit in your pocket, then I got to the end. though, I have a feeling it will not be comfortable to sit down w/ this in my pocket.. I hate taking out my phone to sit.

Carry my phones naked. I have 2 EVO 4G cases that I used on the day I purchased them. I won't buy another phone case again.

I love naked phones but my heart stops when I drop them. I always say I won't but I always do at some point. I'll have to keep it naked for some time though as the case I would use is already sold out,

I hope there's one like the Palm Pre case with the ribbon to pull the phone out.
I love that style of case, the belt clip has been great, the one's that rotate always break.

I have always carried my EVO 4G naked (and the Palm Pre before it), but the unprotected camera lens cover is bothering me even more on the 3D than the lens on the 4G did. I'm thinking about trying to track down the impossible dream of a case that protects the lens cover, yet doesn't add much bulk. If it also had a kickstand, that would be nice of course!
