Face it, why do we need screen protectors? To protect the screen from our pointy fingers? No. To protect it when we drop heavy objects on our EVO's? Lol, if you are doing that a screen protector wont help. To protect the screen if we drop the phone? That's what the case is for.
So why? The #1 reason we use screen protectors is to prevent scratching the glass when we put the phone in our pockets.
If you are like me and use a silicone case, that screen protector gets pretty scuffed up coming in and out of your pocket and lint sticks like crazy to the case.
Walking through the mall today I stopped by the sunglasses vestibule. There for $4 there were selling these little soft sunglass pouches made of microfiber. I thought hmmmm, pulled out my EVO, dropped it in and put it in my pocket.
No scratches, no lint and I can polish finger marks off the screen just by rubbing the inside of the pouch against it. Also, instead of struggling to grasp the phone, I just grab the top of the pouch and pull it out.
Anyway, now I can have my phone in my pocket without worrying about lint or scratches and I have a carry-along polishing cloth right there.
You can probably buy one of these at any mall. Give it a try.

I knew when I posted this people would rag on me, but seriously, it really does work.
of course it would...wrapping your phone in plastic wrap would probably yield the same results..
my girlfriend has been doing it this way the whole time she's had her evo. her hero just rolled around in her purse and got all scratched up. so for two days I didn't let her purse it. then we found this method works awesome.

Except for the fact that it would be incredibly impractical and look like hell. On the other hand this method is EXTREMELY practical and looks great. lol, can you imagine removing your phone from plastic wrap every time you wanted to use it? ** Fail **

Yep, I only wish those who are making fun of my idea would actually try it:
1) No more scratches on your screen, screen protector or phone body.
2) No pocket lint stuck all over your case.
3) Much easier to take out of your pocket (even in skinny jeans).
4) Super easy way to wipe the oil slick off your screen.
5) Much easier to remove from the pouch than from a snug fitting leather case.
6) Slimmest possible pocket solution.
Oh well, if they enjoy having their phones beat to hell that's not my problem.
Yeah I've known folks to put their phones in their glasses bag / pouch / sack. Not a bad idea and you do get a little touchscreen wipe as well. I usually use my shirt, soft material, to give it a quick clean.

The N1 came with a microfiber lined pouch. Worked just like the pouch you described. One of my favorite accessories for my N1. Wish the EVO had come with one.
I am using the little pouch that came with my MyTouch that is made of microfiber. The Evo fits(barely) and it does protect it like the OP says. I just got this EVO 2 days ago and am waiting for my invisableshield to come in the mail and am using this method until it arrives. It is a little inconvenient and the phone still could get scratched from the plastic thingy used to close the case if you are not careful, but all in all it works. By the way I got a full body invisible protector for free. I just paid something like $2.85USD for shipping. Great Deal!
Thanks for the positive replies. Since I have gotten my EVO purse (I feel like George Castanza) it is the first time I have been able to put my phone in my pocket and absolutely not worry for a second about scratching the screen.
Like Occam's Razor Theory says, "The simplest solution is usually the best".

Thanks op. Does anyone know who makes the N1 pouches? Maybe they have different ones for sale that say "HTC" on them.
via EVO.
Just go to your local mall and check out the carts where they sell sunglasses. They usually have lots of them to choose from for a few bucks.

Where I live, it is usually cold enough that you can wear a jacket. I always buy jackets with an inside pocket by my chest. As a result, I have a similar built in pouch in my jacket where the phone stays safe with nothing else touching it but material.
However, those 40 days where it's hot (in the 70's and low 80's), I have to find other ways...
I like to circumvent the entire dust issue by just using a holster.
Good idea, I've been doing this intermittently for months... Only bummer is that when the phone rings, you have to pull out from your pocket AND then out of the bag. The extra step has resulted in missed phone calls

Since a fair few of you will now have one of these, I was just looking to get some thoughts and opinions on one please?
Also I know it can stand vertical with this case on, but can it stand landscape?
Thanks
U can do everything without any trouble, it's a great case.

I've seen that it can stand vertical on it's own when the case is on, I was wondering if it could stand landscape too?

Yeah, it's a great little case. I bought the black one, and i'm looking at getting a blue one next. Really cheap for official ones from Trusted Sellers on ebay (roughly £7 without original packaging, £10 with)
the only downside is it lets dust through the little holes, so you get a neat little dust pattern on the back side of your phone - a regular removal and wipe on your trousers helps.
I've had one on it for about 2 weeks and I like it, only drawback is I had to shave down by USB connector plastic to get it to fit while the case is still on. I ordered another from dealextreme because it was really cheap. I notice the case just touches the mic area but doesnt cover it up. I like it because it's not very bulky and the plastic 'mesh' back fits over a soft case and makes it rigid and easy to hold.
Good luck for u
Got a generic cheap mesh case from eBay, its pretty awesome but as mentioned above, gets a bit dirty after some long time, and mine is cheap enough to start breaking on corners, had a few falls tho, and that's the purpose of a case, so the phone doesn't break instead
I had this case, it was okay at the start but in the end the plastic on the top corner started breaking away. Also the one and only time I dropped my phone with this case on I got a nasty scratch just above the screen where there was no protection. I had to ditch it. I'm using a plain black tpu case now, much more protection. The advantage of the mesh case is that its so slim.
Edit : Oh yea and its a dust magnet.
Got the original mesh case, I dropped it twice since I got it. First time no damage at all, protected the phone nicely. Second time the phone popped out of the case as it hit the floor (shoulder hight, had a nice spin to it also) but both the case and the phone didn't suffer any damage. So I guess it serves it's purpose and looks nice as well.
Aesthetically nice.
Crap if you want proper protection.
I bought it merely to protect the camera and back when I put the phone down to prevent scratching. For overall phone protection it's definitely going to be lacking as the top and bottom edges of the phone aren't covered. The case clips on easily but stays on fairly tightly. The rubbery material gives better grip when holding the phone. Dust does get in over a week or so over the back of the phone, though isn't noticeable with the case on, and can easily be wiped off. I think the case looks pretty nice, all key areas are fully accessible and for the price of about £8 was worth it.
is not compatible for i9100P
I've just buy the genuine Samsung mesh vent case for my Samsung Galaxy S2 win NFC (i9100P) but it is NOT compatible. My colleague on the i9100, not NFC, perfect fit.
Some ideas?
Light, strong and keeps the thinness we all love about our S2s!
Dropped mine a couple of times on to wooden floors and no damage yet
Protects the camera lens too when lying on a flat surface
The dust comments are true but only noticeable when u take the cover off so no big deal and it fits so snugly it kinda looks part of the phone!
To answer original question tho, no only stands in portrait
I got an official Samsung one given with mine. Good at protecting from scuffs when it's on a table or desk but wouldn't like to trust it with protecting my phone from a fall.
That's why it's sat unused in a cupboard at work! If anyone wants it just message me and I'll stick in the post.

I'll take the case if it's on offer, let me know your thoughts on shipping to Australia Figure you sent all your convicts here, so a case shouldn't be a problem
hey all,
i just bought the case for fun, and i wanted to take a few test pictures with my new camera.
its a soft silicon case so it doesn't really hold on to the phone. in other words, it slips off if you try to pull it out of your jeans unless you grab it first and then slowly pull it out, but if you try to slide it out of your pocket the corner might slip off.
also it came with a screen protector which looks okay, and it works. If you want to lay it on the screen it has like a 1 mm gap between screen and table, but i don't know if it would protect it.
another thing that might bothers some people, besides the case almost slipping off, are the holes they cut out for the headphones and the mics...it really just looks like a 6 year old is trying to make his/her first circle cutout, and if you want to charge it you have to make sure its plugged in correctly.
conclusion
+ looks awesome IMO
+ great way to get girls to talk to you
+ can't argue about ca. 5 EUR
+ came with a screen protector shield
- doesn't really hold on the phone it feels like you're rapping your phone in jello
- holes are not cut out nicely
- if your phone faces down it might not protect the screen very well
- have to really firmly push the charging cable in it
now to the pictures.
Yup, it grabs attention and is good enough to protect from scratches, but the phone does pop out sometimes, so I switched to Taurus.

"+ great way to get girls to talk to you "
...I'm not convinced on that one
Looks cool! Someone should make something like this that's a bit more sturdy...I'd buy one!
at my country, they sell this at night market..
This case can compliment your phone quite nicely, and it is also a really nice excuse for you to play with your phone WITHOUT even turning it on!
The case arrives in a generic packaging along with a cup mat. By generic packaging, I mean a simple plastic bag that is sealed.
First Impressions: First time seeing this case, it actually feels and looks nicer in person than online. The hard plastic seems pretty durable. Already I have spent ten minutes just turning the case from one side to the other. It truly is mesmerizing and fun at the same time!
After using it for a while, I noticed that the fish tend to get stuck near the corners. I noticed how when you push on the back of the case while it is on your phone, you can squeeze the small gap which has the liquid and make it move. I did this repeatedly until I accidentally pushed on the fish and got them stuck together in the middle of the case. I pushed on them again to get them free and as I did that, the red fish broke in half. This was very unfortunate indeed. I feel like the fish need to be made out of something more durable. What if you had your phone in your back pocket (with this case), and you sat on the back of your phone? The same thing could easily happen. That is one thing I really am disappointed about. Some good things are the cut outs. They are placed to where you can easily access all of your ports and buttons. This case does offer some minimal protection, but if you dropped your phone while it was in this case on something like asphalt, I would have my fingers crossed hoping that my phone is okay.
I have to admit, this case is very unique compared to others out there. Before I broke one of the fish and had the case on my phone, people would ask where I got it from and would take my phone from me and would immediately start playing with it. They all thought it was really cool!
Overall, I think this is a really neat case, even though the fish broke. Nothing is ever perfect, and I feel like if they made the fish inside more durable, than this case would be great for those that just want a decorative accessory for their phone instead of a case that protects it.
I was provided a unit for testing purposes and I promised to provide a completely honest and fair review.
I have attached some pictures.

It's slim in person, and the phone didn't fall out when I dropped it on the floor.

I considered a case but i don't want to lug around a brick..
I put a screen protector on it.. which is delectably useful. LOL
I figure it could save some scratches potentially.
But i got a black-leather belt clip phone holder from Wallmart that fits perfectly.
Good for listening to music when roaming around on a bike etc
I also just pulled mine out and for the first time in 1 year of owning it i dropped it
It bounced super mega hard on the concrete 3 times and landed face down.
I must have hit the sides then it rested face down.
I picked it up and the band around it started to separate..
So i blew any dirt off it then clicked it back in place and plugged my headphones back in..
Worked fine still ..music did not stop playing
Later i looked at it and i had no scratches at all anywhere but two micro pin prick gouges into the outer replaceable rubber band thing that comes off.
I have a spare too in case i need it ever.
So i was impressed.. she is a trooper of a machine !
I played basketball with it on Concrete and it did nothing
..with no case.
I also had debated before on pulling off my protector film on the glass.
But i just feel better having it on there.. maybe a security thing in my head.
It would suck to have the glass scratched.
There is other options though people.
When i go around town i see 99.99% of all people doing the same thing.
Everyone has their phones in cases which add to the bulky size of it.
Especially those iPhone users.. looks like they have massive thick huge bricks in their hand.
Then i pull mine out and it's like half the width LOL
And far faaaaaaaar cheaper.
I just wanted to offers some other ideas.
Also i looked at the picture and the case does seem sort of thin, so that is cool.
And i was just being careless when i dropped my phone.
Where do you put your phone people ? In your pocket ?
That to me seems like a far bigger risk than anything else.
Easier to sit on it or get crap in the holes or put your keys / change in there to scratch it up etc.
My belt-clip has it kept safe & secure and clean and accessible.
Just some thoughts
i need this, is perfect for my moto e :3
