Durability

Anyone having issues with scratches on their screen? I’ve had my Evo about 3 weeks now and I’m noticing several minor scratches. The only thing the scratches can be from is putting it in and taking it out of my left blue jean pocket. Also, the USB cable / phone connector seems a little flimsy. Anyone having issues with that too?

Have you tried wiping the screen on your shirt until its completely clean? Sometimes pulling my phone in and out creates streaks across it. Also check to see if you don't have any sand(i know) or other dirt/particles. They can easily scratch up the screen. My USB connector seems solid, a lot more solid than my HTC Mogul.

I use a screen protector, so I can't comment on that part, but I am noticing some issues with the usb connector. While the charger that came with the phone works perfectly, the car charger, and a backup charger sometimes just stop charging the phone for no reason at all. I imagine this is more about the chargers than the phone, since one works fine, but it is a little odd that the two different chargers started experiencing the problem the same day.
