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.
 
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.
 
Not trying to hijack the original posters thread, but does anyone use a regular case, not a skin?
 
Can the excess zagg solution hurt your phone if it gets into the cracks and speaker?

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