Official frame cracking thread
 

It seems that through some searching, a hardware issue is emerging with the EVO 4Gs that isn't receiving much attention.
Now I am generally take excellent care of all my phones. I figure if I buy it, and it costs THAT much money, then I'll take care of it. The problem is that near the three actual hardkeys on the unit (particularly the power button) the plastic casing is cracking. Now my phone hasn't received any hard falls that would have created this crack. After some searching, it appears many others are having this problem. When I went into my local Best Buy today, their display unit (tethered to a stand) had a crack near the power button. Hopefully this will get some recognition with Sprint and HTC so they can fix the issue on future devices, and start replacing the broken units.

Either I don't have one or I cant find it. Same thing either way more or less.

No cracks but I dont drop my electronics. I am super anal and dont even let people touch my phone.

I think the invisible shield adhesive material helps mine from cracking :)
