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 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 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

i don't really like the case. the velcro doesn't work anymore, the phone falls out from time to time and the belt clip isn't all that secure

I use the case from the samsung instinct, great to keep in the pockets and comes with a spare stylus on the side.

You guys actually use that crap case the phone came with? I've never used any case a phone I bought came with, they all suck.

And I thought it was common knowledge to always place the screen TOWARDS your body... Especially if you just put the phone in your pocket. Why would you expose the screen to anything external? Your body will always be softer than whatever unexpected item decides to slam into it.

I always put the screen face in, and that's what I think damaged my screen considering I noticed the damage less than 24 hours into owning the phone. On the inside of the OEM case, there is a plastic bump that forms the belt clip and I think that's what caused pressure damage on my (and maybe others) screen. It very well could have been there before it was even placed in the crappy OEM case. I'm using my the leather pouch I used for Mogul til I find something I like.

believe it or not putting the phone against your skin is the worst. i went thru 2 vogues this way. what happens is the sweat from your skin slowly but surely makes its way under the layers of the touchscreen, causing what looks like sticky spots that will eventually dry up but never do. all that happens is the spot with the moisture quits working after so long...i don't do this anymore and havent had any probs...but on the topic of the case....YES THE FACTORY TOUCH PRO CASE SUCKS!

case... nah i just keep mine in my pocket and have no problems. Im not a kid running around being stupid anymore, so its not like the phone will get destroyed in my pocket. Unlike if it were on my hip... Its more likely to get messed up that way.
And if you have THAT much sweat in your pocket, Id say jump on a treadmill and try losing some weight. lol I dont sweat 'inside' my pocket.

Here the case that I use. Not a big fan of the side tilted cases so I went this direction. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1204332770416
For the price and the clip options that are available for this line of cases I love it. Have been using them since my PPC6700. The Treo 700 and Mogual all fit fit just fine also.

Re: I think I've figured out how our screens get damaged...
 
For those of you who have been using the mogul case, what orientation do you put the phone in the holder(i.e. screen towards body + stylus down) Has that affected your phone at all. I remember reading a post/thread about someone using their mogul case which eventually messed up the phone. Anyone have any issues using the TP in their mogul case? I really dont like the TP oem case.
