I bought this product directly from Amzer and received it this week. Prior to this case I had a Seidio Innocase on my EVO. The Seidio is a semi-hard case that comes in two pieces and slides onto the EVO. I like this Amzer silicon case much better than the Seidio and the silicon case is now the one I keep on my phone all the time. The Seidio case was to creaky and had enough play in the case to be annoying. Also it seemed to trap dirt/dust under the edges easier than this silicon case.
The Amzer silicon case fits the EVO well and the LED notification light is fully visible. With the Seidio part of my notification light was covered by the case. All ports/buttons are easily accessible with the Amzer case. The case has a nice texture to it and feels secure in my hand. There is also a pattern in the cast, look at the pictures of the back to see what I'm talking about, and there are small raised areas on the corners. I actually like this as it helps me hold the phone when I am using it in a horizontal position.
Overall this is a really nice silicone case for the EVO. I am very happy with it and at $9.95 I feel it is a very fair price. It fits well for a silicon case and gives me grip when holding my EVO. Recommended. Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case for HTC EVO 4G (Black)
When I first purchased the Evo 4g, I knew two things straight-away:
1) The phone feels relatively fragile, hence the need for a case, and
2) The cases that the Sprint store sells are overpriced crap.
After reading some online reviews from the early adopters of the phone and various cases, I decided that the case that I wanted was the Seidio Innocase Active Case for HTC EVO 4G - Limited Edition because it appeared to offer the most protection for my shiny new toy.
Unfortunately, at the time of my purchase, the Innocase was on back-order for almost a month. I bought this Amzer case as a holdover (i.e. it was in stock and Prime-eligible) to protect my phone until my "real" case arrived.
Immediately upon receiving this case I put it on my phone. The fit and finish are pretty good for a sub-$10 case. The case in no way interferes with the stand built into the back of the phone, which I was a little concerned with. The case fits pretty snugly on the phone and offers protection to both the screen and the camera lens since it extends slightly beyond both. I do wish that the fit was a little tighter (dust seems to find a way in behind the case), but I can't argue with the protection.
I know the protection works because this weekend I dropped my phone from a decent height (around 5 feet) onto a tile floor. The phone fell straight down on to the screen with a muffled thud. I picked it up and wiped the screen off on my shirt, and noticed that there were no cracks in the screen. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that I hadn't even scratched the screen.
Bottom line is this -- do I think that this case is perfect? The dust issue bothers me so I can't say yes. Do I think that this case offers the protection advertised and is worth every cent? Absolutely. Whether you are purchasing the case for full time use or (like me) are purchasing it as a holdover until another arrives, I do not think you'll regret it. Who knows -- I may even continue using this case once the Innocase arrives!
I bought two of these cases. They were great at first, but after about a month, both of them have stretched out to the point that they no longer fit on the phone. Neither case was subjected to the inside of a hot car or any similar harsh conditions, either. I think all the five star ratings for this case came from people who haven't had them very long. I've ordered a different case to replace this one.
Just got my Amzer case and I have to say that i really like it. It fits really well and the phone doesnt jostle around in the the case. It looks good and the design is nice. The rubber/textured design on the side makes for good grip. One HUGE PLUS is that the case helps keep the camera lens off of the surface the phone sits on, so no worrying about scratching the lens!!! Very nice!
One concern that may arise in the future is that the power button and volume rocker are not cutouts but have a mimicking rubber design so you know where they are. They are fairly easy to use and i have not had a problem with them. My concern is that with use over time the rubber buttons may wear away to the point you cant feel whether you are over the power and rocker buttons or not.
Over all this is a great product for the price, like everything else, time will tell. I would definitely recommend it!

Can't imagine why you'd spend more on a case. With Amazon Prime it's the cheapest case I've found and the fit is perfect. I was worried about how hard the power button might be to press, but I swear it's even easier with the case than without. Best phone ever, best case ever! - Evo 4g - Evo - Sprint - Case'
