My wife and I bought our EVOs at Radio Shack on June 4th.
Her's (HW 0002) was eating batteries, above and beyond what ANY battery tips could fix, and had light leakage/raised screen.....It has since been exchanged for a HW0003 that is flawless. Okay, maybe the screen quality is a fraction less, but not a major issue. It took a call to the District Manager to get her a new EVO, but it worked.
Mine (HW 0002) is suffering from light leakage/raised screen under the home screen, as well. The light leakage is about the width of the widest part of the home circle and the screen raise is definitely above all other corners. The battery life seems ok.
Quite simply, should I exchange mine or not?

- My time is running out (30-day RS exchange policy) and I'm not sure if Sprint will honor the warranty with a new phone after the 30 days (I DO NOT want a refurb).
- Is the screen raise going to get worse down the road?
- Is insurance a better route? The phone is covered by a skin-it on the back and an Invisible Shield on the screen and the corners show ZERO scratches.
- Any other options? Any at all?
