    http://www.stealthguards.com is giving away free screen protectors as part of a new promotion. I decided to order one and try it out since it is only $3 for shipping


    HTC Droid Incredible Full Body Protection

    Motorola Droid X Full Body Protectio

    Other phones

    From what I've read they seem to be on par with Zagg.

    Sorry to bump an old thread but I've just joined the android family so to speak with the Evo and I want to know what apps some of you guys would recommend. I'm not used to having access to tens of thousands of apps since my Palm app market only had hundreds, none of which were any good, save angry birds. So...fire them at me!

    PS Kenneth, I had the Zagg on my Palm and while it was great for scratches, it does nothing to protect from shock. With the pickup of my Evo, I also purchased the Otterbox Defender which has excellent reviews for shock protection and a built in screen protector. The thing is pretty diesel.

    Actually I recommend rooting it and flashing if you feel confident. You can do a lot more things like wireless tether, overclocking/underclocking, ad blocking, temp monitoring and tons of customization like being able to select different icons, themes, and boot logos. If you ever consider rooting/flashing I can send you some information via PM.

    As far as some of the apps I recommend:

    Dropbox - Easily share files between your phone and PC.
    Go SMS - A free SMS app that is a lot better than the stock Android texting app.
    Executive Assistant - Keeps email, Facebook, Twitter ect; all organized in one widget.
    Skype Mobile - Allows you to IM and make International calls.
    Air Control - Fun aviation themed game.
    WHERE - Great for traveling, it gives you movie theater info, places to eat, stay, drink, hotels ect.
    Locate My Droid - Allows you to find your phone via GPS.
    Google Maps/Navigation
    Bump - Allows you to easily share contacts and apps
    Photoshop Express
    Yellow Pages
    FM Radio
    Barcode scanner- Allows you to scan barcodes and get prices ect.

    Also I ended up going with Zagg I only needed screen protection and it works pretty good. The only problem is lint gets stuck between the screen and screen protector.

    I'll get to rooting it eventually. I'm just trying to adjust to this OS from my ****ty Palm.

    I already have Where, PS express, Barcode Scanner. FM radio came preinstalled but I really don't want it. I also have Air Control, Bump, and Plane Finder (which is the **** for spotting). The Executive thing doesn't apply as I have neither a twitter or a facebook. Is there any other badass apps to consider?

    As for the Zagg, you sure you got that thing on good enough? I never had that issue with my Palm. It's supposed to be a second skin. Maybe trying to re-apply would fix the problem? It's only baby shampoo and water to apply.

    I actually got the Zagg from Best Buy and had them install it and it looked fine. I have heard of other users having this problem and they said if I send in my current one they'll send me another protector.

    Here are some more apps:

    Tinyshark - shh! No one is supposed to know
    Wallpaper rotator- Rotates your wallpaper
    Remote RDP- Allows you to remote into your pc
    Google Goggles- Pretty cool camera landmark app
    Camera 360
    Xplane- Expensive but its pretty cool

    If you browse the market you'll find some more cool stuff here is the web version of the market so you can browse on your computer https://market.android.com/

    You guys are dropping like fly's! 2 guys at work had their droids die in the last week, My wifes died 2 days ago and this is the 3rd phone in 1 1/2 years and had to get a new phone... the rocket scientist got another droid and a different guy had to go thru 3 droids to get a new good one.

    I had to return one iPhone 4 due to a bent pin when it was given to me but it worked, charged and transferred flawlessly still. I do not know anyone who had to return an iPhone besides me but hear Android issues daily...and many of them. I feel bad for you guys. It is never to late to switch to the DARK SIDE.
