I ordered an Amzer Argyle TPU case from Amazon on Tuesday, (+$10 expedited shipping), thinking it would be here by tomorrow (I'm leaving for vacation). But no, it didn't even shipping til today, which is total bu!!sh!t since the site didn't say anything about a release day to ship. :mad:

So,

I needed a case before I leave so I just went to a Sprint store (I didn't like the gel and Otter Cases Radio Shack had) thinking that with my Premier discount I could get a TPU style case for about $20. Turns out, all the cases at the Sprint store were $40, $34 after discount and tax. For a plastic case. :-\ *groan*. I bought one but I'll be returning it when I get back from vacation. Good thing Sprint has a good return policy.

Just a rant. But I tell you what, I love this phone!! :D

Ever since moving to an Android phone, I've enjoyed not having a case (vs the iPhone, which you needed one because of gloss and slipperiness).

My Nexus was happily naked, and the EVO 3D is too nice to put in a case.

For someone that drops there phone a lot, a case is necessary....but with the back cover hugging almost the entire perimeter of the phone, it looks like that can alleviate some concern, as that is a very easy replacement.

My Evo 4G was naked without a scratch, and my Evo 3D will be the same way.

I dropped my EVO 4G a month after I got it and cracked the screen. I had a case, but I took it off from time to time cuz it was such a svelte phone. I have been paranoid ever since :) Plus, I'll be outdoors a lot for my vacation and I want to film a lot of 3D and I'll feel better about the protection :cool:

That's crazy expensive, You can get TPU cases on Amazon for $5 and they are the exact same thing. I just got mine in the mail today, It's temp until i can get my hands on a Seidio surface or active.

I did order the Amzer for $10, but I needed to get one today for my trip. The Sprint Store is making Best Buy look like a bargain! lol

I'm not a fan of TPU. Some actually makes the phone more slippery. I like how the 3d is now how it has better grip on the sides and rear.
