I watched my evo bounce like a ball on concrete

I was at an event at the beach, in the parking lot. I was going to get a case after the event. I know better then to take a new toy out without a proper case and cover.

I took it out and my friend was talking to someone, he made a big sweeping gesture, hit my hand, and it launched out to the sky.

I bounced off the ground. Amazingly.. only two small dent on the bottom corners. This thing seems tough. Of course I'm totally anal.. I have to return it to best buy for a new one. Now.. what do I tell them...

Re: I watched my evo bounce like a ball on concrete

HTC has a nasty habit on making their phones very slippery. I have owned 3 HTC phones, each one squirted out of my hand like a banana at some point. My Samsung had a rubberized back.

I heard they were swapping phones out if you had a software issue.

But like everybody else said, it's not BB's fault. Tell your friend to pay the $100 deductible for insurance.

Re: I watched my evo bounce like a ball on concrete

if you get the sprint 18 dollar gel case i will probably hide those blemishes if you are not successful in getting a replacement.

worse case you can take it back and say you didnt like it.. THEN go to another store and purchase all over again...
