Question Naked or covered???

I just bought online the invisibleSHIELD™ for my EVO (only the front cover).

Do you think guys it would be necessary to buy a rubber cover for the body?

Edit: i canceled my order and bought the full cover now, so i won't need the condom, lol

Nah. I don't think it really makes much of difference unless you're really worried about dropping it on hard surfaces. A rubber case will add a lot of bulk to a phone that's already pretty monstrous.

I will note, however, that my experience with InvisibleSHIELD's screen protectors have been less than stellar. It kinda gives the screen a grippy feeling. This makes it very hard to use pinch to zoom and stuff like that. Just my opinion...

ENJOY THE EVO!!

Depends on the person (oh by the way I'm sure their is already a thread about this, man your gonna get it) some people are clumsy and drop their $500 phones all the time. Me I take pretty good care of my device so I generally don't need one. With that said I have ordered a condom for this phone I got a silicon jelly whatever. Mainly because I was already ordering the screen protector and it wasn't a lot more to just drop that in the box.

I'm leaving mine totally naked. I may buy a screen protector, but I have yet to decide. Thankfully, HTC is a company that has realized the practicality of MATTE FINISHES. I cannot stand glossy, fingerprint and scratch magnet surfaces.

Hmm i hate having lil hairlines on the back of my device, due to laying it on a desk or so.

Im not scared of dropping it, but it depends on the grip of the device in my hands. if it feels like its going to slip out of my hand while im holding it. Then i might buy a silicone case like the one that came with the HTC HD2. if they have a case like that one.

You know the HD2 Duel flash is on the right. the Evos on the left. and i think the camera on the evo got a ring around it. so i dont think a HD2 case will work. far as camera.

Yeah, a condom. For "just-in-case accidents" ;D

If you're gonna get a case for such a massive touchscreen device, you really can't beat Otterbox. EVERY phone could benefit from an Otterbox case. As for screen protectors, just get a standard WriteRight package. They're wonderful things.
