Since the Evo is a pretty unique phone with a unique battery cover design. One that does not need a separate glass/lens to protect the 8mp camera.

I'd definitely buy seidio or epik or any kind of case to work with the phone without the stock battery cover underneath.

Why? This case would then hug the phone even closer providing minimum bulk yet still protect the phone edges and back.

all it needs is exact holes for the camera, speaker, led flash and kickstand.

basically, don't need the stock battery cover if a case maker can design one that not only protects the phone but also add as little bulk/thickness as possible.

just an idea...
