I've just been looking at this phone, too. I'm happy to report that Sprint sells a hard clear plastic overlay that protects this Palm. The screen and keyboard is exposed, though. I may get this overlay and add a screen protector. That should be good enough to protect it. I'm sure that someone will be making a silicone glove for it soon.

All my friends and relatives have flipphones and they all refuse to put cases on them and they all throw them around in pockets and purses with other stuff bouncing around, keys, pens, loose change, lipstick, etc. I am concerned that a Centro in that environment, nevermind that it really isn't thin enough to just "slip" in a pocket or purse, won't survive...
I accept that the Centro is Palm's current "best effort", but I still question whether it is good enough...
