I think I've figured out how our screens get damaged...

Do you use the HTC supplied case or have you used it? Mind you, my phone arrived yesterday afternoon. I used the case for a couple hours last night and today when I went on a long walk with my dog. I notice how I put the phone in the case, the screen is facing inwards pressing up against the hard plastic piece that forms the belt clip. So, it's obviously pressure damage. It's roughly been 24hrs of use. I'm ordering a better case immediately....

The case is so stupid. It's cheap and ugly. Who uses velcro? makes so much noise to take it out...Since I am in school, this is not something that I can have.

i personally use the case i had for my touch, the magnetized one, ive never had it mess up any of my phones so i will keep it till it wares out.

Yeah, I'm just ticked cuz I've barely had the chance to break in my phone proper and it looks like the crappy case did it for me!

I've been using a magnetic case from here now for 4 months without a problem....

I always put my phone in the crappy case with the screen facing away from my body. I thought the flap gave it a little extra padding.

I use a mogul case. That thing's great!

I agree. Mine lasted a whole hour before i had to get a new one. They wasted all their good ideas on the phone and put no research into how to carry it i guess.

I guess I am one of the few that really doesn't have a problem with the case, at first I hated it but eventually it grew on me. But since I had the phone I also put the phone in the case with the screen facing away from my body
