I purchased a clear hard plastic case off eb with shipping included for $8.99. It did cause a small gap at the bottom right corner, but I from asking around, I notice it more than other ppl. I never had any sliding issues. When the keyboard is open, the gap goes away. (I can see no light between the top and bottom.) I believe the trade off was acceptable for me because my phone is protected, and since the case is clear like glass, it retains it's styling. You can still see the Sprint and HTC logos, and the battery cover (which I dyed black). Mine is not thick so the phone still fits in the pouch with the case on and all ports are accessible. I just take it off for a microfiber wipe off every few days and it's good to go. I tried the black rubber case in the Sprint store and it fit nicely, but robbed the phone of its styling (chrome, logos, etc). So if you can deal with the minor gap, I would go with the hard plastic. Well that's my 2 cents.
