Sorry if its a repost but i was thinking of all the stupid **** i do just to not hurt my Galaxy Nexus... I mean some of the things i do are really exaggerated.
So i came to the conclusion that i have OCD on my cellphone because
First couple of days with my Gnex i was wrapping it in a microfiber cloth before going to sleep making sure there was no exposure what so ever.
Here's a really dumb one. when i was driving with my windows open i made sure my Gnex was cover in case some of the wind had dirt with little rocks that may hit my phone.
Lol!
I treat it like a man.
Some dust got in the speaker vent, I had to use a piece of paper to get it out, annoying.
When you replace your screen protector as soon as it gets a tiny mark on it!
When a tiny scratch on the phone really makes you feel guilty every time you see it
When u constantly wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth throughout the day.

When you flash a new ROM and make sure all icons are in the same place on the screen as they were before.
When you resort of putting the phone into your pocket weird to ensure dust doesn't settle in as much.
When you get a tiny scratch get angry and buy a new phone

Its funny how people get jealous of what i get paid to do.
PS. this phone was purchased outright for our own personal use. This was not a review unit nor was it given to us. if you had any common sense you might realize that companies will not give you a phone just for you to smash it into pieces.
Ouch!
Personal use.....droptest .....common sense..
Really should i answer.
Review units....thats a unit a big company GIVES a reviewer to test.

Why did I watch this!!! I've dropped every phone I've ever owned and I know what I've got in store now
Screen protector - don't be ignorant to think gorilla glass is unbreakable - YouTube will show you many breaks.
Gorilla glass is awesome, but not unbreakable.

I do reviews for a site and we have a very close relationship with both Samsung and HTC and the word they always use is never "GIVE" it is always "LOAN" and with that they always make use promise that the device will be returned in perfect working order. If it is damaged in anyway the reviewer has to pay for it.
galaxy s2 also has gorilla glass and it really IS UNBREAKABLE(nw I think i should'nt had sold mine )

Hi folks
I'm considering getting the S III but am not sure about the screen durability as i've heard a lot of mixed reviews. How durable is it? Looking at some break tests on youtube suggests that the screen is a lot more sensitive as compared to other phone. Is that true?
btw, what is a good case for this device ?
Thanks!

I dunno if this counts, but I keep dropping mine and the only damage so far is a little scratching on the corner of the outer plastic bezel when I dropped it once pretty hard on some rough tar. I haven't seen any other blemishes on the case, and so far no scratching at all on the glass. I loved my Nexus One, but the glass on that scratched pretty easy just sitting in my pocket. Not so with the SIII, no scratches at all on the glass in the 3 mo I've had the phone.
I don't have a case for it.
Bigger the screen... The easier its going to break. Simple.

The gorilla glass on this phone is garbage. ive never dropped a phone and a couple of weeks ago i slid it into my pocket and my pocket was broken. It fell like 2 inches from the ground on to pavement and wrecked the display and the bezel is all dinged up. gonna fix the display and get rid of it

Similar experience...phone dropped from my pocket while sitting, landed on the corner, cracked screen...probably hit the weak spot on the phone, regardless, shouldn't break that easily IMO..
It is not durable at all compared to my previous phones (gs2, hd2) if you drop it there will be serious cosmetic damage. The plastic is extremely soft.

Get an Otter Box, you pay that much for a phone then spend an extra 50 bucks to keep it safe.
Get a case if your gonna pick up the GS3... its a beautiful phone but you need to make sure you can protect it... I dropped my phone 4 times since I got it and thank God I bought a case for it. If I didn't have one, then my screen would have been shattered already

yea that's why i'm hesitant in buying it (3 actually). The issue seems widespread and if it is a case of bigger screen then it is a serious design flaw or maybe a manufacturing flaw. At this point im probably going to put off buying this phone but let's see if things change

I feel like the S II was way more durable. But that's why I bought insurance for this phone. Never had insurance on any other device. And the fact that I have an extended battery and there really aren't any good cases for extended batteries made me get the insurance.

It's a phone and it uses glass, it doesn't matter what phone it is if your looking at Youtube and their hitting it with a hammer or dragging a razor over the screen then it's gonna do as expected. It's almost comical that people do these tests considering you spend money on the phone you should be responsible for it and take care of it. Accidents happen and the carriers know this so instead take care of your property, it doesn't matter who made it or what some moron with a hammer says.
all that is fine but generally speaking one does expect some level of durability for a device that costs upwards of $700 dollars, specially if the company is touting the latest and greatest gorilla glass 2 as one of the main features of the phone. Cellphones break when dropped, everyone should know that. But the amount of complaints i've come across regarding the S III and the different ways the screen is getting damaged is quite abnormal to say the least.
Anyway, i'm still debating whether i should pass on this phone or go for it. Anything new coming up in the coming weeks?

You never hear the whole story either when people give these reviews, "I had it in my pocket and the screen cracked" turns into I was drunk and fell down the stairs.
I still have all of my devices in perfect shape and it all comes down to how well someone takes care of their things. If your gonna carry the phone in your pocket with your car keys then its gonna happen, I see it all the time and like you said at $700.00 you should act like it's worth it. You want an honest opinion on the device? It's worth every penny but the one thing that would make me warm and fuzzy about it is if HTC built the body. It still feels solid but theres nothing like a well built frame like you would find on the One S or X. No other device comes close to the functionality and multitasking that this one does and I own 8 myself (different devices not all cells.)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
yup the One X is really nice too. Too bad t-mobile doesn't carry it.
I'm going to call t-mobile again and see if i could get a better deal on the S iii's than what they offered me ($179 per phone)
Takin a poll on screen protector preferences for the note 2 ,and mainly how the privacys are nice but jack up the screen quality, if not for the pesky cross lines that angle across lcd they would be ok, Seems yeda is a popular brand that presents this ....

Ive tried about 4 differerent privacy screen brand and all have a slight issue. Clears way to go.... unless your going to like f4p in public or are on some secret mission noone cares enough to spy on what your doing on phone.

We make screen protectors in Southern California from HD Japanese film, but not privacy filters yet. Working on it.
They come with a 3 year warranty; don't bubble up over time. Easy to install and will not peel off. More info on our website Hagzinc. Also available on Amazon and Sears.

Since ive posted ive torn off my privacy protector and canned it.
Probably just get an hd zagg
I Only use them to protect in pocket use from quarters Pennys and miscellaneous pocket junk that could scratch screen

I agree. I am not a fan. I like the flip cover the Note 2 for protecting the screen while in my pocket. My wife on the other hand, puts a screen protector on her phones the minute they come out of the box. She normally gets a lot more for her phones when she sells them but oh well.
I can't go with out some form of screen protector mine has already saved a ton of scratches off mine. But the privacy ones jack things up to much .

Yeah, I think we might be the few. I'm super careful and also put the phone in my pocket facing me (always make sure nothing else in there). Seems to do a great job of keeping all the smudges off. ( I dont have much to begin with but) I seriously can't imagine putting anything on the beautiful screen. But I think for a lot of people who don't pay much attention to these kind of stuff, maybe the protection is worth it. Certainly beats scratches.
I just bought the new glass version from sphein 'sp' i got on a discount from 36 something and paid 21. Its not a film, its 9h hardened glass. Its the best money I have ever spent on screen protection. It really feels like going bareback.
One of the biggest plus's is you wont see single finger print, no sumges, no glare like bareback. The edges are rounded unlike my buddies glass version. His was the first I had ever felt and had to have one. I just didn't know my version had the rounded edges which makes a great deal of "feel" difference and doesn't snag in you pocket like his does. I would say if you can afford it then its atleast worth trying.

I dedicate one pocket for phone as well and have never had a scratch that my naked eye could make out. I have had quite a few Android phones over last few years as well.
I do immediately put a case on it though.
Fancy pants Note ||
I don't know how people can get by dedicating a pocket just to a phone.
What about a pen and pad, smokes and lighter, gun and ammo, keys, wallet, sunglasses, knife, not to mention charging cable and adapter...and those are just basic never-leave-home without it essentials?
I love privacy protectors but haven't found one for the note 2 yet. I frequently have to report on people next to or near me and they should not be seeing what I am writing, that is between them and hr, not them and I.
I also need to make adjustments to cad drawings supplied by clients which they should not be privy to, as they are internal company documents at that point. If the client is standing right there, how else to manage that?
Frequently I have to use my MyTouch 4G Slide phone for these things since it still has a privacy protector on it.

yeah i dunno where you live to need to carry around gun, ammo, and a knife O_O ... anyways, use a car charger and you won't have to carry around a cable/adapter and i'd just stick the rest of your other things in a backpack ... or something. keys, phone, and wallet are really what i just keep on me.
I just ordered one and cant wait to get it... this phone catches peoples eyes and i hate it when theyre reading my emails and texts etc..

Hi, I do asked myself this since I live near the beach and want to do kind of the same you want.
I bought the Sealabox 3XL it fits perfectly the HTC One, you can get on ebay I paid around 22 after searching for a while.
I tested it in the sink and firstly you have to flash a kernel for making it able to wake the phone (i use Logo 2 wake).otherwise you can't do nothing (you have no way to press power) - I flashed tbalden 's kernel.
It doesnt get a drop of water in, so I feel confident it will be good. I will test it maybe today or tomorrow in the sea.
Hope I was usefull.

Why not stick some paper towels in there instead and swim however you want? It'll be easy to tell if any water gets into the case then.
Unfortunately I went to the beach late today and played rackets so I will be testing it tomorrow.
That is a really nice idea, I will try to see how much depth can it handle with a paper.

So I tried last weekend.
Positive: No water anywhere inside, so does it's job. Good picture quality and video.
Good protection from sand.
Quick removing and placing protection.
Negative: No access to buttons.
Not good visibility when recording or taking pictures at the moment.
With Invisible Shield Screen Protector (i think its because of this) when I immerse the phone it automatically touch screen making it stop / start recording.
How do you wake the phone inside a sealabox?
The sealabox looks pretty good for beach/pool/sweat protection, but how do you wake the phone without access to the power button? Do you guys use something like awesome on off, or an app similar to that?
I'll be in the beach sooner too.
About the SEALABOX, how can you take a photo or video in the sea ?
I plan to do some snorkeling, and I would to record this event with the HTC one.
I wish there were good waterproof cases for the HTC One like there is for the iPhones and even S3s. Lifeproof would be ideal. I think all we have are pouches/baggies that happen to fit the HTC One. I posted on Lifeproof's facebook page voicing my wishes for a case for the HTC One! Anyone that would also want one should do the same as they don't consider making products for new phones unless they have popular enough demand.
I've been on the hunt for something similar to the optrix or life proof cases for the iPhone. I'm having no luck and so far have to use a LokSak which is not ideal. Anyone else having better luck?
