I was just wondering what cases or skins you were using to protect your Heroes. And if you're using a screen protector of not etc.

[crazymike]

I just registered to ask the exact same thing. There doesn't seem to be too much available. If you could post what you use and maybe a link to it it wuld be much appreciated! Thanks.

I wish 3M was making their privacy screens in Hero shape. Those things are amazing.

[crazymike]

Not trying to hijack the original posters thread, but does anyone use a regular case, not a skin?

[highwayman1224]

I use a generic case i bought at wal-mart when i had my touch diamond. I don't use a screen protector.

I agree I loved it. I have the invisashield, screen only

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Zagg full body shield, with a ziploc baggie when I'm fishing

[kriev#ac]

i have a skin that protects the back, its made of rubber, its really good imo

[ICON76]

Can the excess zagg solution hurt your phone if it gets into the cracks and speaker?

[Ginbill]

I just had a silicon/rubbery case and I'm going to get some screen protectors.

Phantom Skinz has 30% off until December. About the best screen protector around. Ya get 2 for less than $7. I don't like their (or anyone's for that matter) full phone stick on's, but their screen protectors are great.

I've purchased a rubberized hard case from eBay for a grand total of $6.95 plus free shipping. It's simplistic yet excellent and I didn't pay $20 like it would cost in a mall and yes the quality feels good. I'm taking it one step further though. I plan on buying a side case to carry my phone and this is the reason why I choose to go with a rubberized hard case rather than silicon. The rubberized hard case is much easier to slide in and out of a side case than silicon and won't stretch over time as silicon will. The rubberized hard case that I purchased does have a clip attachment (didn't come with clip itself though) which I would never consider using because those types of clips are typically cheap and the face of the phone is faced outward and exposed. So that's also why I will be using an additional side carrying case. I'm sure that sounds pretty nutty to some but it seems like a good solution. Oh and the rubberized hard case adds very little bulk to the Hero which is a major plus too.

I had a InvisibleShield on my Pre, and I just can't stand the tacky and fingerprint magnet of it. The softtouch-esque covers will always be better for me, as my fingers won't stick nearly as bad on it.

No screen protector here. I found a professional looking leather belt clip case at Target from Case Logic for $20. Black with medium brown suede interior. Fits the Hero perfectly.

Body Glove at Sprint.

$24.99

I cut a screen protector out of a iPhone screen protector. I laid it over the screen and scored it with a straight pen then used really sharp shears to cut it out. It looks great. I got the Seidio case for mine and am loving it. Nice solid case. I wrote a small post and included pics here.

awsome review on the case, i'll have to get one, I bought the rubberized ones at sprint, cause I couldn't find any I liked and I wanted somthing, I also carry it in my pocket, I hate dragging out all the lint and needing to hands half the time to get it out.

[sparda07]

the case and clip combo seidio offers is great.

[MSK01]

I've got the Seidio case that covers the entire back and a normal screen protector on the front.

[tgamer]

ZAGG is the answer hands down..if you are looking to be able to drop the device look somewhere else other then a touchscreen phone

[hct]

I just receive the OtterBox commuter case and I'm loving it.

[pjwatson104]

The glass screen on the Hero make it extremely hard to scratch. I have dropped my on pavement already and haven't had any marks at all on the screen. I know in another thread I spoke about this, but when I asked someone at Sprint about screen protectors, they took a screwdriver to my screen and there was absolutely nothing. They said that putting screen protectors on may actually mess with the touch sensitivity when it is hot because the screen may actually trap the heat.

Anyway, here is the Youtube video of the glass screen....



You can read the other thread, because there is some good information there as well:

Anyway, I just thought I would give you heads up. I have done a lot to my phone in a little bit, and it has done pretty well.

[Drybonz]

I'm using an Invisible Shield for the screen and a Seido Innocase for the body.

[dwaynewilliams#WN]

I have thw skin that I bought from the Sprint store I like the feel and it will work nicely in protecting my device. Anything else is just unnecessary to me.
