Great case, but makes it a little difficult to check your alerts that appear at the top of the Evo's screen because of the bar of leather in the way. I have to fold it up a little bit to gain access to those. Otherwise it does what it's supposed to do-- it takes a great deal of punishment and protects the phone very well. However, if you like to watch videos on this phone, I would go with the horizontal flip version of this case.
