ive dropped my 002 4x since ive had it. 3x were outside. i gotta OEM silicone case. no damage.

I must have a low tolerance for ignorance or just a glutten for punishment, but didn't you READ the comments from those of us who DO have the tiny little crack on our EVO? We've reported that we haven't dropped our phones...that was the major premise for the main post. And I know most of us reported having some form of a case or protective shield since we've received our phones. If you want to comment to us who do have the crack, make sure you have your facts straight. I just hate comments like this...okay...back to being a lurker. Don't mean to offend, just be informed before you respond to what people are saying. Gosh.

Personally I like my phone a lot, even with the hair line crack and would prefer not to exchange it, especially risking getting a refurbished one with serious problems. I baby my phone, have kept it in a protective sleeve since day one. I do not let others touch it, for fear they may be careless since it's not theirs..

I did have one of those semi soft covers from best buys, but that made the power and volume buttons hard to press in because they are covered. Perhaps during this time I may have caused the hairline crack and not noticed it..

Some people reporting cracks on both sides and others adding that their volume area showing similar cracks.

It's a design flaw, a defect Sprint and HTC should be made aware of. So that their new units and customers don't have to deal with it.

Personally I don't mind. But it is Sprint's Flagship phone, their baby, first 4G, they are riding lots on this.. Do they want reason for legitimate owners to hesitate buying one?

The manager at the store I originally pre-ordered mine told me to bring it in, have it checked and I would be put on the exchange waiting list..

Is it really a reason to return and get it exchanged? Perhaps not, but it's a lot to do with personal preference and tolerance.

I've seen people with their screens poping out, power buttons stuck, battery cover falling off. They just electrical tape, double stick tape and push down on what ever's poping up...

30 days, $500 (you are still paying that much or more through your phone plan, so don't kid yourself you only paid $199..)

Thanks,

P.S. I have not experienced any other issues what so ever with my EVO 4G, my battery life has been exceptional. When I see someone post their concern that is not an issue with my unit, I just take note and keep it in mind in case mine does develop it. I don't troll on their issues..

Um, it was a warning about stress spots more than anything else, and to notify people. thanks for your opinion.
