One of the first things I noticed about the Evo, with its big screen, was how easy it is to accidently open and shut applications when a finger brushes the screen. There is practically no front edge to grasp without touching the screen. Also, if it rings while in your pocket, the screen comes alive and I would inevitably accidently either answer or decline the call before I even saw who it was. I started looking for a cover and found the Boxwave. I got the horizontal case first (opens to left, like a book) back in November. It's padded and protects the phone very well. I initially was frustrated trying to drag the notifications bar down from the top of the screen but quickly realized that hitting "Menu, Notifications" accomplished the same thing. Overall I was very satisfied. Pocket dialing came to a immediate end and the phone remains scratch-free.Just out of curiosity, I ordered the vertical version (long flap that goes up over the phone). It also works well and is a bit more natural when talking on the phone. However, it tends to flop around when texting in landscape mode. Still, it works very well overall, but a snap button on the back to hold it open would be nice.Both versions have a little pocket which nicely holds a spare battery. Very useful.Bottom line is I think the horizontal version works better for me.
