I have tried every kind of screen protector out there, from the self healing, to the basic clear hard plastic, the basic clear cling plastic, the privacy screen, the mirror, the mirror privacy, the matte black privacy protector, and nude.
I agree that everyone thinks the nude look feels better and works better over all UNTIL you get a scratch. then you wish you had one. The feel is different obviously, but you get used to it and you don't even think about it. If you ever plan on reselling the phone its nice to not have any scratches on it.
But i guess that is up to whether or not you want to take that risk.
On the matter of the case, you MUST have a case, IMO. the massive screen on the front is begging to be cracked after a good couple of drops, and that back panel is flimsy, who are they kidding?! I've tried the 99cent eBay silicone cases which get annoying if you are always taking it in and out of your pocket. The hard cases on ebay are ok, cheap but ok for intermittent use. I currently have the OtterBox Commuter case which makes the phone a bit bulky, but gives it great protection. Without a case when you set the camera on its back it is leaning on the camera lens, which is NOT good, a design flaw, IMO. when you set it on its front it is on the screen of course. but with the Commuter case the camera is recessed and your phone will not lay on it while on its back, and the screen is also recessed due to some little rubber bumpers (best way to explain it). The Commuter case offers the shock absorbency of rubber cases and the solidness of a hard case (it has both a rubber inner case and a hard outer case)
so there is my $0.02
Commuter case
HTC EVO Commuter Series Case, HTC EVO case, HTC EVO cases // OtterBox.com
