Any case available that doesn't inhibit 'screen edge' touching?

[magicmycote]

Like when you move an icon from one home screen to another, you slide it to the edge and wait. I've tried a few different cases and they all have such a high edge on them taht they inhibit my thumb/finger's ability to go all the way to the edge of the screen - making it virtually impossible to move an icon.

The bigger issue is that it affects my typing when trying to quickly swype through the "P" or "Q", etc.

So...anyone have a case with a very low profile..allowing your finger to glide over that are similar to a case-less phone? I rarely, if ever, see that being discussed when cases are talked about.

I too am interested in what people have to say about this. I have a 2-piece hard case i don't use because it prevents me from using Swype effectively, so i just resorted to the Zagg full-body screen and avoid putting things in my pocket alongside my phone lol

I just use the verizon high gloss black case. it's a great fit. I actually had the body glove before but moved down to this one... don't drop my phone so I don't feel a need for a huge case ya know? I can now use swype and drag effectively as well.

Is the verizon case a two piece snap on or a flexible pull on?

Try the 'ElCheapo' in my sig.. swype works GREAT with it.

The Verizon case is a one piece flexible pull on.
I does have the raised lip you are talking about but it is not as pronounced as some of the aftermarket cases I've seen.

Here is one on eBay (this is the one I bought).
Verizon HTC Incredible Black Silicone Gloss Cover OEM

Just a side note...
When moving items from one screen to the other, I find it hard even without a case. A solution that works for me is to press the item you want to move and then use the virtual trackball to move from one screen to the other.

not that I'm moving icons around constantly, but this will definitely help me, thanks!

I have never had any troubles with swype while using this case. It covers no section of the screen and grips onto the small outer edge of the phone. Works like a charm!

I also hate hitting my case when swyping the screen. I find that the argile design case from amzer.com works best for me and I've been using it for a month.

admittedly, I don't have my DInc just yet but I ordered/received the Seidio Innocase Actice II for HTC Incredible... It came with a cardboard insert that mimics the phone actually being inside of it... The edges on this case seem to be really low profile and with this cardboard insert my finger can easily glide off edges.

You can get find an in-motion view of the same case for Evo on Youtube—I can't link as I am a n00b

My DInc is coming tomorrow so I will update with results but with the silicone edges and a slight inner bevel to this I think it may be what you're looking for... case features an outer exoskeleton that protects back and corners for more protection than just the silicone material could offer.

Thanks a bunch for this. Handhelditems.com is amazing!! I just ordered two "ElCheapo" skins and a 3-pack of screen protectors with express shipping (3-5 days) shipping for $15. I've seen a good review of the screen protectors and I think I'll wind up being very pleased for the money.

Seidio Active case is pretty much non-intrusive...with good access to the screen.

UPDATE...

Swype beta appears to be closed but I've had my phone and Seidio Innocase Active for a few weeks now and I think this case will work just fine with Swype and the edge issue you mentioned.

the Barely There case by Case-Mate is the best i've seen thus far. I absolutely love mine. Though the face of the screen isn't protected very well, the corners and back are. Its material feels the same as the battery cover on the back of the device. It looks nice and is very comfortable.

Well, I just got my cases and screen protectors yesterday. The cases are fantastic for the price. The screen protectors on the other hand were all cut to big and left bubbles after applying them, so I'm having them send me new ones. At least it was only $4 for all three.

I picked up the Spect case from my local VZW yesterday. I had the faded black/red from vzw and I hated the sides on it.. I wanted a one piece, not a 2 piece..
well this one is friggin awesome. The sales folks working there had never heard/seen the case before and In the 30 minutes I was in the store, 4 employees bought it after playing with it on my phone and 2 additional customers bought it as well. its a one piece design and the interior is cloth so it wont scratch up the screen. I dont have an issue with Swype as it doesn't cover the front at all.
Well worth checking out...

Innocase ii here, no issues at all.

Your welcome! What colors did you get? I got the black first then ordered the Burgundy later on.. I was kinda hoping it would be a bit darker though.

Did they give you any kinda application fluid for the screen protectors?
