    So, for one reason or another, you’ve gotta send your HTC EVO 4G in to Sprint for an exchange. What do you do?

    A) Wrap the EVO in the finest cloth you can find, ushering it gently into its shipping crate, or
    B) Attack its screen with razor blades, pennies, and screws and film the whole thing for the sake of science/entertainment.

    You can probably guess where this is going. Hint: We probably wouldn’t write a post about option A.

    AndroidForums-goer Roman G. had to ship his new HTC EVO 4G back to Sprint due to a small screen defect (not, by the way, related to this testing), and decided to take the opportunity to see just how well the device’s screen held up to things you might generally have in your pocket, like pennies, screws, and razor blades. People keep razor blades in their pockets, right?

    We won’t ruin the results for you — check out the whole test on video down below.

    [Thanks K.!]
