I have to agree. I only use a screen protector from Zagg and have never used a case for it, yet my EVO is still going strong. I've even sat down many times with it in my back pocket. It's a tough little phone if you ask me. iPhones - now that's a different story. I've cracked 2 screens in 4 years on these guys. :|

is it possible to replace the screen of an evo after it has been cracked by yourself, without taking it to either Sprint or Besty Buy, etc.?

Yeah, just look up evo 4g digitizer on Amazon, but make sure you order the precut tape. There are also a few YouTube videos explaining how to do it. It's not that hard to fix. My EVOs screen finally cracked the 30th time I dropped it.

I keep my phone in my shirt pocket at work, I work at a tire shop and it's pretty fast paced. It gets dropped basically dailey one way or the other. But its in great shape still. I have a rubber case for it, and no screen protectors. It takes some real gnarly falls too.

I used a protector for the first 6-8 months (can't honestly remember exactly how long) took it off and never looked back. It's been dropped, kicked once, sat on, etc. I don't abuse it, but a device that you have with you constantly is going to take some abuse.

I keep it in the Sena leather slipcase, and it looks and acts like new (better actually, because I'm rockin' a JellyBean rom that's sweet).
