Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)recently purchased an evo 4g and needed a case.. but the Otterbox was not for me. on to the review..
pros:
-the screen protector is a part of the case, which means no bothering with sticking one on and hoping no air bubbles persist.the screen is VERY responsive, have yet to notice a difference
-the cameras and microphones and speakers are recessed by the hard shell case, which protects them from getting hurt while putting the phone down, etc.. (the evo's camera sticks out on the back without the case, which is dumb in my opinion)
-the phone's ORIGINAL kickstand works fine with this case, although I don't use it much.
-all ports are covered by removable silicon flaps
-Trident sells other "mySkin" things for like $8, marketed currently for their "Cyclops" series, but after a call to Trident, these milti-colored replacement silicon bands DO work on the Electra as well. for that price, you can have a couple different colors for the silicon band!
cons:
-bulky feel to the phone, but not as bad as the Otterbox. this is expected.. and not much of a con because I like the feel of the phone still.
-the silicone flap that covers the headphone jack is hard to remove (maybe this will change over time, but I don't use headphones much with it)
-lint collects easily on the silicone, just as with other silicone cases.
for those of you confused by the case, there is a two-part hard shell that snaps on surrounding your phone. the extended battery fits in and their provided phone backing replaces the one included with the phone. Then, the silicon "ring" surrounds the edges of the phone, covering the seal between the two hard shell pieces. The ring actually "snaps in" to the plastic hard shell, which is a nice feature (one of my snaps won't fit in, but Trident offered a replacement.. not sure if I will bother)
as for the battery... well I was immediately impressed by the better performance, but have yet to really be able to tell if the improved performance has sustained... I think that, after reading a review on another extended battery, one might have to "guess" when the battery is done charging instead of trusting the phone's meter, because someone remarked that the phone calls 1500 mA 100%, and does not know that the new battery is 2800 mA.
overall, good buy!
