I use these gel skins on everything. They're awesome and very thin.. They will absolutely offer protection against scratches, etc. If you drop your EVO, first of all, what the hell? Second, it will keep the unit together but it won't protect it from actually BREAKING if you drop it hard.. It's also a little slippery/grippy - if that makes sense. It's grippy but won't STICK if you're trying to slip it in your pants, etc. I would definitely order this, but I want it sooner than June 14th.. has anyone seen it in stock, currently ??
