Hello
So im new here,and i have not ever owned such a powerful and overall massive phone.so i have questions about the phone itselfand how do you keep it and such. Here we go
So my first question is,where do you carry it?is it too big for a pocket?what should i get to carry it it?
2.can the phone get curved?if you carry it in your jeans or such?
3. Is it fragile?
4.is the screen easly scratchable?or is it scratch resistant?
5.whrn you look at your phone from a side,does it look like its already natturaly curved a bit? I think it is since it hasnt been used from my side anywhere else besides my bed or near my pc.
So these are the Q's,and id really be thankful if i could get answers,cuz im asking about your opinions and your experiences thanks in advance!

1. Pocket. Fits fine.
2. No
3. No more or less than any smartphone sporting a massive glass screen on the front.
4. Scratch resistant. Can it be scratched? Of course. Lots of people have argued over this one.
5. The Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus both have a curved screen.
thank you im just scared about the scratching part,and curved screen.now ill just be careful not to scratch it

No, it's not too big for a pocket. If you want to use a case have a look at the usual suspects, Otterbox & Incipio being two of them. Personally I use the Sena Nexus leather pouch.

The Galaxy Nexus does have a slight curve at the bottom, yes. Just like the Nexus S did, just slightly less pronounced.

I just have a screen protector on mine.
Low-end or non-smartphone devices tend to be tougher because they're more simply made and don't have a large weak point like a giant touchscreen.
That's why they make these phones:View attachment 1187872

Not a bad idea if you're in a boat a lot (specifically a speed boat or other boat where you get a lot of spray). That said, it has very limited practical uses. These "cases" have been around for quite a while, though, with the various phones.
I didn't know this. They just seem cheaply made. Like a zip lock bag..

They are much thicker than a zippy. REI sells them as well as other outdoor retailers. To market this for any specific phone and mark it up is a **** move.

look into pelican cases. those things are solid. water proof and crush proof. i think you would have to take your phone out of the case to use it, but other than that, the cases work great.

I bought one of these a while back. It works great except for if you leave your phone in it for a while, the case will ad hear itself to the screen protector if you have one and pull it off when you take it out of the case. Other then that I think it's a good investment if you're out on the water a lot. I can use my phone in the case as well.

It's much sturdier than iPhones and I'm saying this from personal experience.
Samsung phones have pretty robust hardwares in general (and many people claim such builds make phones look "cheap"). You have to be seriously abusing it to damage it.
If you're a "dropper" get an otter box Max type of case.

there is nothing as less fragile, more robust.... in my opinion.
It's just a matter of luck!!!
Quick recall: i once had 2 nexus s. one slipped out of my hands (in the supermarket) and landed on the concrete floor without any damage and the other one, fell from the bed on the wooden floor and had a crack.
how can it be more sturdy than iphone if iphone is steel?
What? The iPhone isn't steel.... the front and back are BOTH glass.

Plastic has lightness and elastic deformation going for it. It will bend before it breaks, and depending on the severity, will return to it's original, undamaged state.

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.

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)
So, I'm looking at getting the Optimus G, but have a few reservations, the biggest of which is the glass panel on the back. I'm wondering from you guys about real-world usage is this something I should be worried about. I don't like cases because they add too much bulk and I'm normal in that drops my phone on the concrete from time to time. Also, I've got young kids which, unfortunately, can lead to some extra drops. Should I be worried about the glass on the back cracking? Any advise would be much appreciated!
A few other reservations are related to the non-upgradable storage and non-removable battery, but I think I'm okay with those.
I have had this phone since it was released and I hardly ever have my bumper case on it and I've dropped it and have never had an issue. I don't know what it is with this phone but it seems indestructible.
I'm not one to drop my phone so I can't personally say anything about the durability of the phone after a drop. But I do know its a mixed bag. And judging from what you said, you drop your phone quite frequently. In which case, I can't recommend this phone for you. This isn't like other phones where if you crack the screen you can still use it. It becomes unresponsive. So my opinion, this phone is a no go for you.

Other people would beg to differ I'm sure.
Most of the time I use a pretty cheap rubber case by Diztronic. I've dropped it a few times from a few feet up onto concrete in this case, and it's been totally fine. That said, I don't know how it would fare without the case. You really should have a case for any phone you get, though. Particularly if it's glass. But there's nothing about this phone that makes it more fragile than the other glass guy.
Thanks!
Thanks for the information! I wouldn't say I'm a frequent dropper, but I do keep my phones for 2 years for the upgrade and in that time there are a number of drops. Thanks again!

Because our phones are porous. Speaker hole. Headphone jack. Charging port. And other gaps in the body.
A case would have to completely seal off the entire phone to work underwater. Like the previous poster said, the only option for that is a pouch, which is cumbersome, but the only option for underwater photos.
So what is the difference between our phone and say the gs3 or iPhone which are both again porous

Well for one, the rear housing is not sealed. There is very little adhesive keeping the housing stuck to the front. The phone is pretty much open. From right next to the display. I believe GS3 and iP both are very well sealed from the front. It's easier to seal off the back than the front.
Second, I don't think other phones have open speaker holes. This one may neither, but I think it has a greater chance for failure due to the greater number of holes.

Well for one, the rear housing is not sealed. There is very little adhesive keeping the housing stuck to the front. The phone is pretty much open - The S3 has a snap on cover on the rear, no rubber seal around it, so as waterproof as a paper bag
I believe GS3 and iP both are very well sealed from the front - Nope, they both have a hardware button that has no IP rated seal around them
I don't think other phones have open speaker holes - The S3 has a speaker grill on the rear, to the right of the camera

Sir, you are SO WRONG ...
Sealing HTC One isn't harder nor easier than sealing any other cell phone from this planet (a phone that is not waterproof from factory).

I feel it's less about the design and more about which third party companies want to support and make accessories for the One. More or less you're asking for a LifeProof for our phone. And companies like LifeProof don't see the "high" demand and would rather make cases for iphones and galaxies because they're a larger market. If more people asked, I'm sure they would accommodate eventually. (Hopefully)
I did get a reply on lifeproof's Facebook page and they said that they do not have any plans for our phone but thank you for our interest. I'm going to bug them some more.
Apparently this one fits the S3 & S4, I wonder if the One will squeeze in there as well
That would be great if they came out with a water proof case. Hopefully they will come out with one soon.

This.
If you want real protection you should not expect to use the device. A touch screen device can't work reliably with a true solution that allows full submersion with pressure. If you want to take pix underwater they make underwater (capable) cameras or you can shell out the $$$ for a waterproof box for your SLR, etc.
