My first g1 was the bronze model. Crappy keyboard, no case or skin and fugly looking but it was free. I spent a few days here, flashing roms, playing trying to decide if I wanted a G1 or get a mytouch. I decided to get a another g1.
Yesterday, bought a Black G1 and a black body glove snap on case. WOW, it looks sooo badass now. The white mytouch is sexy but mine looks like a serous business machine and all the ugly went away.

Here ya go, you might find it cheaper on buy.com but either way this is a good price for a sweet case.
edit: yea it adds some bulk but not to much, its like having the g1 in the puch it comes with sort of, maybe a little better then that even.

Yes, that's it. It does add some bulk but also makes the g1 look substantial. One of the problems I had with the g1 looks was it's protruding chin. The case takes all that away. Another advantage is with the plastic back off, it looks like you get get a larger battery in there, like that 2600 seido Inocell. In other words you may not have to use the extended back that comes with the battery. I don't have that battery yet, but it looks like it might fit just fine.
I like the texture on the case. Gives it some bling without it being too much, easier to grip because it's rubber. It looks like a stealthy beast.
Here's a video on that case.

I got that case. It adds alot of bulk to it. It only stayed on my phone for about a week.

yeah, I had the same problem, I felt like i was walking around with a brick in my pocket
I've been thru 3 of those things, the clips that hold it on the phone eventually fail... every single one... and the phone always falls out at the WORST time ( going up an escalator, getting in a very tall pickup, and climbing a 30ft ladder to hag our new t-mo sign at radioshack)
These cases typically do turn the g1 into a cement shoe.
As well, what's wrong with bronze? And the "chin", much maligned, is something I actually like on my phone
Hated the keyboard on the bronze.
I don't use a belt clip ever. Last 3 phone I used a belt clip on were lost and never found.
I came to the G1 from a BB curve with extended battery. I have them side by side right now and they are exactly the same thickness. Given the room left in the back of the case, I think I can put an extended battery inside this case and not gain more thickness.
To each his own, but size is relative. Given the wow factor, protection and the extended battery capabilities it looks like a good match for me.
Just tried it with YooBao battery, doesn't fix.
It certainly looked like it would, but it's shape is wrong there at the battery area.
Damn, I thought I had lucked out. Bought this case several months ago and ended up hating it because of the size. Then got the battery with the cover, and I didn't even think to try to try the Body Glove I had. Was all excited when I read this thread thinking I had lucked out with the combo of the two. Unfortunately, no go.
I was just looking at this just now. I wonder if you could take a little off the inside of the case where the belt clip attaches. In other words cut the felt then dremel out the plastic underneath. It looks like you might gain 1/8th in. tops.
I'm considering this battery. http://cgi.ebay.com/for-T-Mobile-G1...ash=item414863590f&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
Yeah...couldnt stand this case either. Prolly woulda been cool but having the G1 caseless for a week made using the bodyglove case like stepping back in time.

sale price should reflect at checkout, mine did
Discount showed up right away for me. Just placed an order! Was waiting for this Good timing Zagg!
many thanks to the OP, just ordered.
Heads up - these things are awful. I really would suggest never buying them. Adhesive backing is terrible and almost impossible to not get dust / pet hair / people hair on the sticky part unless you have a clean room. I took every precaution to avoid getting stuff between the screen in it.
Hands were 100% clean, the liquid didn't help at all with this issue, the liquid can get into the speaker if you are not very careful, and if you mess up applying it and want a replacement you get the shaft. They only give free replacements for life if the front is damaged while protecting the phone.
Read reviews online if you don't believe me...the HTC Hero version of the InvisiShield is awful. I have read they are decent and NOT adhesive backed for other phones. So far the best I've found are cheap ass $3 for 3 ones on Amazon that are cling stick.
I bought this full price, right when i got my hero...
took it off about 3 weeks later, i hated how it didn't feel smooth at all, overall seemed resistive to the touch.
Just a thought, bestbuy applies them for 8 bucks and guarantees the application. If it were not for this fact, I wouldn't buy.
applying these things is a bit more comfortable than water torture
They aren't too bad tbh, i switched from invisible shield to phantom skin, then i tore that off and just put a normal screen protector on and i bought a full body skin from skinit, so my phone looks sexeh and its pretty protected
just bought a zagg invis shield for my psp slim and my NDS lite, and i bought their zagg sparq, since its 100$ i got it for 50 its a 6000 mah battery with 2 usb ports that give 1000mah each. all in all i spent like 72$ instead of the 150$
all in all its a good skin, it didnt gather any dust or hair or anything for me, i put it on in my kitchen, but i dont reccomend it on a touch screen, like that other guy said it resists a little.
I could not resist!

WASTE-OF-MONEY
At least for the Hero. These things are a total pita to put on. They don't seem to make the screen any less sensitive but they do make it harder to slide your finger across it.
Application is a mess, if you are ocd about your electronics then tape up the speaker because water is going to get on it. My g/f's went on well and is almost not obvious but mine looks absolutely terrible, and I did hers first! AND they don't even cover the entire screen! I am very disappointed in the zagg invisible shield for the sprint cdma hero.
I'd like to find a thin, rigid, plastic screen protector. I bet there's one out there somewhere.
*update- after writing this post I couldn't take it anymore. My zagg shield is now protecting the applicator card that came with it.
it might be too late for the sale... who knows... but previously purchased just the front screen protector and not the whole body. im pretty happy with it
i had already used a rubbery body thing for the back but when coupled with the zagg protector, i am alot less worried about accidentally putting my hero in the same pocket as my keys when inebriated.
application was a pita. good luck!
I just ordered one for my Eris, hopefully it's not as bad as you guys are mentioning it. Then again the Eris uses a different material, and I only plan to use the whole front(screen + around the buttons).

and on my ipod full cover and my brother's ipod
i dont have trouble with any of them... so i dont know about you.: S
Yeah, I don't know. They're a big name in the business and I know they didn't get that way selling crap. I think I got a defect. I read more reviews about them and most people seem to like them. I also checked out my g/f's more closely and I have to admit if mine had come out as good as hers I wouldn't have anything to complain about. Mine was crap, totally took away from the touchscreen.
I will be calling zagg tomorrow... hopefully they'll help me out with a replacement, they do have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee so if nothing else I'll send it back and try something else.
Sorry for the rant but you know the saying, "A happy customer tells 1 person, an unhappy customer tells ten".

what you said its true i bought a universal screen protector for the hero first but my screen kept getting dust after the last screen it had that it was the third it worked perfectly.. i made mistakes that the screen keeps and cant remove like dirt and dust :x so you gotta do it fast ......i still like them
you have lifetime guaranteed just need to make a form of somekind send it back and they will give you another one free ^^ check the page
I just bought online the invisibleSHIELD™ for my EVO (only the front cover).
Do you think guys it would be necessary to buy a rubber cover for the body?
Edit: i canceled my order and bought the full cover now, so i won't need the condom, lol
Nah. I don't think it really makes much of difference unless you're really worried about dropping it on hard surfaces. A rubber case will add a lot of bulk to a phone that's already pretty monstrous.
I will note, however, that my experience with InvisibleSHIELD's screen protectors have been less than stellar. It kinda gives the screen a grippy feeling. This makes it very hard to use pinch to zoom and stuff like that. Just my opinion...
ENJOY THE EVO!!
Depends on the person (oh by the way I'm sure their is already a thread about this, man your gonna get it) some people are clumsy and drop their $500 phones all the time. Me I take pretty good care of my device so I generally don't need one. With that said I have ordered a condom for this phone I got a silicon jelly whatever. Mainly because I was already ordering the screen protector and it wasn't a lot more to just drop that in the box.

A condom? lol
I may get one two, maybe a blue one.
I'm leaving mine totally naked. I may buy a screen protector, but I have yet to decide. Thankfully, HTC is a company that has realized the practicality of MATTE FINISHES. I cannot stand glossy, fingerprint and scratch magnet surfaces.
Hmm i hate having lil hairlines on the back of my device, due to laying it on a desk or so.
Im not scared of dropping it, but it depends on the grip of the device in my hands. if it feels like its going to slip out of my hand while im holding it. Then i might buy a silicone case like the one that came with the HTC HD2. if they have a case like that one.
hey question. all the iBoy's are running around with otterbox cases on their "phones" is the HTC HD2 the same form-factor as the evo?

You know the HD2 Duel flash is on the right. the Evos on the left. and i think the camera on the evo got a ring around it. so i dont think a HD2 case will work. far as camera.

Yeah, a condom. For "just-in-case accidents" ;D
If you're gonna get a case for such a massive touchscreen device, you really can't beat Otterbox. EVERY phone could benefit from an Otterbox case. As for screen protectors, just get a standard WriteRight package. They're wonderful things.
Seido option
I like this one by Seido:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4213.htm
I've never had one before.
Since the EVO is fairly large, Not sure how much more this would add to the large form factor.
Anyone had this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hev4-bk.htm
TIA...
I am getting the Innocase from Seido. The one without the belt clip attachment. Its only 1mm thick so thats not bad at all..
As far as those body skins. I would like to get one but they look like a major pain in the ass to put on and I wont have the patience for it cause it would have to be perfect.
Now if I could send it off somewhere to have professionally done then I would.
That otterbox looks pretty good. Substantial coverage with minimal "add-on" to the phone. Will consider that...see what they develop for the EVO (need kickstand hole, proper camera/LED/speakerphone holes). I'm just concerned about any additional add-on to the dimensions of the phone. It's huge as-is; doesn't need any more girth!
Also would be concerned about how much it makes it "stick" coming out of a pocket...
i just realized something about that otterbox i posted. the HD2 has physical buttons on the bottom, while the Evo has touch sensitive(if i remember correctly) so we would have to wait for an official Evo case. maybe coming soon?
I'm not too keen on cases, they add bulk to what are already big phones. My TP2 and the original TouchPro are thick with their qwerty keyboards.
I'm pretty careful with my phones, don't really have slippery hands. Only real accident I had with my TP2 is after about a week from purchase, I think I put my phone in the same pocket as my keys and out it came with a 1/4 inch scratch on the screen. I've been staring at it since.
Only accidents I ever really had with phones was with an old BB 7510. The belt clip was hard plastic, and it slipped out numerous times going up and down stairs. Pretty tough device though, the only thing that ever happened was the battery and cover would fly off...even after tumbling down cement staircases!
That's the one downside to new phones.

I have never been down with phone cases and screen protectors.
1. Similar to what the poster I quoted said, why would you want to make the device bigger than what it already is?
2. I think 99% of cases and screen protectors look stupid and nerdy. I usually think the phones I buy have visual appeal, and I don't know why anyone would want to cover it up. The EVO's exterior looks great.
3. I don't need to "baby" my phones. I don't really care if the screen gets scratched or if I drop the phone. I could give a ****. It it breaks or becomes that bad, I'll buy a new one.
The only reason I can agree with is when people want to have a case so they can belt clip the device or whatever. I like to carry phones in my pocket, but that's just me.
Totally agree with point number 2... IMO cases completely downgrade the look of a device; most are plain dorky. You can usually spot an iphone owner a mile away, as they typically have bedazzled/'gucci' (girls) or generic (guys) cases on them.
A lot of effort is put into the exterior design of these phones...why cover it up? Besides, I'd hate someone to confuse my EVO with a boring iphone that any joker can pickup for $97 at walmart, one aisle over from either diapers or anti-freeze.
This is the one i got today, let's see if its works...
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-evo-4g-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Right now my Evo is going bareback....
I'm waiting for my screen protector to come in, and will probably get an otterbox once they release it for the Evo.

I agree with the first two points, so I'm reluctant to get a case/screen protector. Unfortunately, I do care if my phone becomes scratched or if I drop it. I can't really afford to buy a new one!
Just curious to see how many people here are choosing to NOT use a case for their new MT4Gs.
Thanks.
I am not using a case

no case here......i tried the slip on that has a kickstand and so far to me that seems to be the best one but i just didnt like the additional bulk it added (however minor).
I'm not, but not by choice...only because there are not cases available yet that I feel are worth the $ or are of acceptable quality & looks for me. The dual layer (silicon + hard shell) from Tmob isn't bad, but it's only available in white & "lavender", neither of which I'd use on my black MT4G.
I'm considering going with a skin or just some cheap silicon case until something better is available. I just dropped it off the table (<3 ft) in my kitchen for the first time this morning and got a tiny nick in the battery door, so something is needed (for me anyway). I was surprised when it dropped from less than 3 ft and the battery door flew off and the battery popped out. I'd expect the door to be more secure than that. Thankfully, nothing else was scratched or damaged.
I'm going to put a gel case on it due to the kind of work that I do. Never had a case on any of my other phones... going to go all out on this one with Zagg screen protector, gel case, car and home docks (when they become available).
No case here!
Don't care for cases much but the accidental drops just makes you wish you had one so I do!
Dont b dumb its a 500 $ phone y wouldnt u use a case unless ur cool with just throwing money around lol
HTC Mytouch 4g S-off Root
No case here but I got accidental insurance
I'm not using one, I don't plan on buying one ever either. I've never used cases for any of my electronics and I've never broken one. Id rather pay for the insurance than have a huge ugly phone that barely fits in my pocket, but its really personal choice. I feel like the mt4g has really good grip with the rubber sides too, doesn't seem like much of a risk to me.

To me, putting a case on these devices is like picking up a beautiful sexy thin woman then taking her home and putting a fat girl suit on her.
No case... yet. Not sure if I want a case or not. For the time being, I'm using the case that came with my G1 long ago. It actually fits the MT4G perfectly.
No screen protector either. I'm waiting for one that covers the whole front, not just the screen area.

No case for me at the moment. Can't see myself dishing out $20 for a case that doesn't appeal to me. I'm going to wait for Epik to make one. I like thier stuff.

Does the Realook use water or soapy water as the medium? I'm kind of leery about those with water.
It took me 4 days before I botched my pristine One. I dropped it head-first from my lap when I was sitting on ceramic floor. Hence the dent on chamfered edge of the top corner
The dent is small enough to be unnoticable unless under scrutiny. But it's still there, especially visible on certain angle.
I just realised aluminium is such a soft metal, it's quite ductile, well.. given the drop distance.
I think I'll just leave the dent as it is, dont want to risk getting more imperfection, what about you?
I had a case on (Capdase Karapace touch), but it's a minimalist case that doesn't cover the upper and lower part of the phone. I want to expose the shiny aluminium. Guess I kinda get what I want, duh
What about you folks? I'm sure there are a few of you that still has his/her One in perfect condition since day one.
0 scratches on sensation, and sensation had hard life i drop my sensation so many times, when I drop first and last time htc one i scratched everything what i can scratch, never again in my life aluminium NEVER.

You're VERY lucky that's typically the most vulnerable way to damage a glass. All my phones have been in perfect shape except for one. My girlfriend bought me the DNA for $740 cash for Valentines Day and when it was only three days old I cracked it. I'm talking nearly at launch, before it's repairable, and I was afraid of getting one back with a locked bootloader so I didn't insurance claim it.
Man was I scared to tell her. It was actually done when we were getting frisky in the bed and it and my Nexus 7 were under my pillow and I kind of fell down from a kneeling/standing position on top of it. When I finally told her she said "Whew, baby. Really? That's it, just the phone? I was so scared you got some kid pregnant or killed one of your exgirlfriends or something. You've really been freaking out I thought something terrible happened."
Of course I was like "HELLO! Something Terrible DID happen. I broke my DNA!!!"
Ended up trading an old device for another one because I was scared when they started RMA'ing devices with updated hboots that couldn't be unlocked and I'd rather not have a phone than have a stock one. Then I decided that was a defeatist attitude and got a riff box No lockin me out baby.

Lol That's a long story bro, you've got a nice gf btw hehe
Regarding the drop, really it's less than 20 cm (~8 in) distance, the phone slipped from my laps when I was sitting on the ground level. All of my plastic phone survive without a scratch.
I kinda pissed off with myself for not Choosing a full body case, tsk
Well whats done is done.
Double post
It took me a couple months. My headphones hung on my car when I was getting out and took a fall face first into asphalt. All that happened was I got minor scuffs on two of the corners.
Day after I got it (about two weeks ago)
Was on my way to the mall specifically to get a case for it (Incipio something) and it slipped outta my pocket getting out of the cab.
Nothing too major, but pretty annoying that I did it so soon!
My wife shattered her One less than 10 days after we bought ours. Not sure how it happened, but it clearly took a trip to pound town by way of ceramic floor (indoor water park). Praise Jeebus for insurance. :good:
Get a case.
Get a case get a case get a case.
Gone, are the brick Nokia phones, the small Sony Ericssons, the 240x320 Samsungs
Seriously, it doesn't take a pic like the one posted above for you to realize what the consequences are.

It took quite a while. I'm in the marching band for my university, and I needed to call my mom while I was out so I had it in our pocket we have in the uniform.
While we were stretching I bent down, came back up and my phone fell straight onto the concrete ( probably 4.5 feet)
It managed the hit the crease between 2 slabs right over the ir blaster. So I have a nice dent...
Screen is still flawless. Lol.

Did mine yesterday. Had it wrapped in a towel on a radiator so I could listen to music in the bathroom. Somehow the phone got out of the towel, fell down the back of the radiator and jammed itself behind the pipes.
It's in an official hardshell case but still managed to chip the black plastic by the screen. Not that visible but I know it's there.
Bare in mind this is my 4th HTC one, 3 faulty ones in a row

mines in mint condition no marks or scuffs i have the red version since september before that i had black one that didnt get scuffed or marked either
I have a pre-order HTC One. No scratches, dents, scuffs. It's caseless.
I never had problems with the Evo3d like others did though. Two years and mine was still 100% perfect.
I already had 2 cases before i even got the One. I used the Commuter for the first 3.5 months and kept the phone in prestine condition. Recently i got tired of hiding the design, but i didn't want to risk scuffing the aluminum, so i went with a transparent case. So mine is still in perfect condition, i only took it out to apreciate the design once in a while in controlled conditions (usually at home).
I think going with a transparent case is the perfect compromise between looks and protection, only disadvantage is slightly ticker and can't feel the metal construction in your hands.
This is standard with me and phones I have... I've got the One for six months now, and I'm really happy to have the screen unscratched but the phone has fell out of my paints already several times...
I don't know why and or whatm, but this happens with every phone I've got way too often...
if i would use a case ... i may have gone into ordinary galaxy series with a big stupid case !
i got the ONE for the Built quailty premuim aluminum ... too pretty to hide it in a case.
although i use a bumper (backless case)
I got one spot on the back where it went from black to silver and i did it on the first day. It arrived in the mail before work and i was like no case no protector, But was dying to use my new toy so i took it to work. Was careful the whole day. Then i put my phone down on the table didn't slide it or nothing picked it up and there it was a dot. I have no idea how it happened it wasn't there when i opened it from the box. There was no rough are on the table neither. That day on break i went out and bought a cheap case and a cheap protector until i could order better ones..
Ive dropped my phone couple times n still no sign of marks.I have thin transparent case which has been awesome which also provides grip to it
