I forgot my phone was in my lap when I was getting out of the car. I heard it slap the ground and just knew it was bad. I also had no case on it. I took it off earlier in the day to do something and forgot to put it back on. The only consolation is that I was at the mall and I ended up getting a galaxy nexus. I'm still so pissed.

Yes it is. My cousin was with me and he has an iPhone. My fiance also has one. I'm surrounded by them.
The day before I dropped my phone I just did the ics ota.

AHahaha that nexus sure looks like an iphone!
But for real...that same thing happened to me. I have the Ballistic SG Case that would protect my SGSII from the apocalypse but one day I decided it was a little too bulky and took it off to feel the true beauty of my phone and not 30 minutes later I got out of my truck at the gas station and saw my beautiful white galaxy slide across the concrete...mine only caught a little nick on the corner thank god but it still hurt none the less. And its funny how as soon as you take it out of its case it decides to fall!
The pic was taken before I got the Nexus. Had to go to the jewelry store before radio shack so she shopped and I took pictures of my phone. I got the insurance this time.

Atleast you were able to get a new one and didnt have to live with a broken screen. Its no GSII but its still nice. Which do you like better?
I am loving the pure Google experience. This this is so smooth. When I got the nexus 7 I wished my phone would work like that. I kind of got my wish, just not how I wanted it. I don't know if I could use android skinned again.

I am just waiting out on a new Nexus phone. Hopefully by then Sprint's LTE has been expanded more. But it hurts me seeing phones being dropped. It's a mini heart attack for me D:

I have always been so careful with my phones. My fiance and cousin both stopped dead in their tracks when they heard my phone hit the ground. I just graduated college last week and I have 3 interviews this week. Of all weeks to have been potentially out of a phone. I am glad I was able to get a new phone. Don't do what I did. Get insurance.
The Nexus is a darn fine phone, but it's slower than the ET4G. Obviously plenty fast enough for most things, but it is slower and that difference will rear it's ugly head time to time.
Well, I must be lucky, I've dropped my phone tens of times, onto ci crete, grass, floors, from all different levels. Actually earlier today ixwa riding my bike and did a kickflup, it fell outta my pocket and I landed the back tired on it, no cracks yet, looks just like new
Glad you got a new phone

Damn that sucks. Has happened to me a few times, except every time it has fallen out of my lap from a moving truck, which sits twice as high as a regular truck/car. I've dented every corner but my screen has luckily remained perfect. I must've gotten the toughest epic touch ever built.
Sent via phone that is not the one coming out next month that I want really bad even though not long ago this one was the phone I wanted really bad.

I thought you just shake it and the cracks go away...
Oh wait, that's only on my "Crack Your Screen" app (aka... my iPhone app) :laugh:
I've resisted putting on an Otterbox or Trident case for a while. I don't want to add too much bulk to the phone, and since I've grown a distate for belt clips (I don't always wear belts, and as a bigger kid growing up, my gut would always get in the way), I keep the phone in my pocket. There's a few light scratches on the screen, and one or two on a corner where I dropped it. Drives me a little crazy sometimes, but my phone has fared well otherwise. I have the kickstand grip from the Sprint store, that's it.
I "acquired" a first gen iPod Nano last year, before Apple recalled a bunch for battery problems. I sent mine in and they replaced it with a sixth-generation nano, which I thought was awesome (and no, I'm not an Apple fanboy). I was getting out of my car with a couple of bags, and not realizing there was a clip on the back of the iPod, I just tried to grab and hold it with the bags. Fate was not so kind to me, as I dropped the iPod, face down, onto the strip of driveway I park on. Right onto some rocks. While it still works, it doesn't look very pretty.
Now that I moved in with my fiancee and her dogs and cats, I really need to be careful with my hardware.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
This. This is why I have a case on mine. I've dropped mine on several occasions, two being the same situation as yours, not a scratch on it whatsoever.
this is why you dont set your phone on your lap in your car. not to mention, if that **** slides off and gets stuck between the middle console and the car seat, it can be a ***** to remove. i always rest it on the seat, in my crotch area, with the speaker up so i can hear the ringer and notifications. plus i can feel it vibrate which is always nice.

I generally leave the phone on the passenger seat (when no one else is with me), in the cup holder, or in a compartment under my stereo. That's probably in ascending order of safety. I've dropped my phone down the crevice between my seat and the center console, and yes, it is a pain to get out of there. Always worried I will scuff up the screen or find some long lost piece of food under there to fall on top of.
Well, not even 24 hours into owning my Samsung Galaxy S3, I now have spidered front glass. Phone was sitting on the kitchen counter. Apparently my wife’s new freakin cat was up there sniffing around. As I walked in from the garage it freaked out and shot off the counter taking my phone along for the ride. I guess it landed just right causing the front glass to spider.
Good news is I have insurance through T-Mobile. Bad news is the deductible is a $130 dollars. On top of that, T-Mobile didn’t have my account set up correctly. It still showed me owning my HTC Sensation. So when I got on the phone with the insurance company they said they could only replace my phone with a Sensation.
Had to call back T-Mobile to get that straighten out and then call back the insurance company. Now they say I have to wait 2 days before completing my claim to confirm with T-Mobile that I actually own a Galaxy S3. They said I should be getting my phone on Friday once everything checks out.
Now I have to sit here and look at my poor broken phone. I can’t start my healing process until I have the new one lol.
hahahahaha!! daammn that sucks I feel for you man. That's crazy sad.. Get a case on the new one asap..

Sorry to hear that...ummm quick start d/l stuff and trying everything before you send back....not going to hurt and try things, if you brick it...so what....
No really, hope you get your phone soon, I know the feeling. I bricked my S3 day 1 hour 3....was without for 4 days. BTW good movie quote, one of my favs.
man that sucks, sorry dude....i shattered my front glass recently, as well =(
such a horrible feeling isn't it? at least i had my phone for about a month when it happened. if this happened to me within 24 hours of owning it like you, i might have very well started crying.
my takeaways from my traumatic experience were:
the S3 seems fairly fragile, as shown by other xda folk who have also shattered the screen.
i usually keep my phone "naked" but have opted now to go for a fairly thick case. i don't think the "skins" like ghost armor will cut it for me anymore (my usual go-to). worked great on my S2 but i'm not taking any more chances. such a shame too, the phone looks so great as is. covered up with a case, it just looks like any other ordinary phone
asurion has pretty darn good service
this was my first ever asurion claim and although the 130 dollar deductible sucks, which just adds insult to injury (almost literally) after ruining your brand-new shiny device, i was impressed by asurion's speed. i shattered my phone on a wednesday at 3pm, ordered the replacement at 4pm and they had a BNIB! S3 in my hands by 11am thursday. sucks you had that glitch with the sensation though.
again, sorry for your loss. i hope your back in the saddle soon!

I had my LG G2x for 2 or 3 days before I ruined it. I was at a friends house to go swimming. I changed and put the phone in my swim trunk pocket. I had just recovered from a surgery (testicular cancer removal) and was pretty excited to go swimming since all I could do before was lay down. Anyways, I just dove right in and didn't realized my phone was in my pocket. After a few minutes in the water, it was like a lighting bolt struck me, I remembered my phone was in my pocket still. I was super pissed.
Luckily I had Asurion insurance and it got replaced couple days later. Bad thing was I had my old Nexus One but it wasn't working to well. I still had my HTC G1 so for those 2 days, I ended up using the G1. Such a tiny screen and so slow.
Now I baby the crap out of my GS3. Skin and screen protector and no cats. :good:
I thought the glass was strong, gorilla glass 2 no less. My daughter dropped mine from the kitchen table onto the ceramic tile floor, thank God no damage.
I've seen the video of the guy dragging a gs3 and iPhone 4s around a parking lot tied to the bumper of a car and the gs3 survives no problem.

Do not do ANY other roms/kernels/radios, for other makes of the S3. PERIOD. Only the SGH-T999 tmo. They will hard brick. I didn't read, and did a 9300 rom. Bam, off and never returned. Bought a Jtag box, won't be without again.

is there an easy way to buff out scratches on the phone, I have no clue how I got them cause I've used a case since day one and lay the phone on its back, and don't carry keys in that pocket (nothing at all really) but I can feel the scratches when I run my finger nail along the glass in tiny areas and barely see them in sun light... I'm not stressed about it, but thought I'd ask lol. Sorry to the op for the cats misfortune... You did get rid of it right??
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)

I have to say I've been through my share of phones and a lot of different brands but the galaxy note 2 by far is the best phone ever in my opinion. From performance to the size of it its just great all around. Most people see and and say "its way too big" but when you hold it in your hands especially if your a guy its the perfect size.

Take my word, this phone is durable as a brick, I have a mime glass screen protector and a a seidio active case, I have a physically demanding job and drop my phone at lease two or three times a month on concrete. And the phone still works great! Here's a sad but funny story which I can laugh about now about durability about two years ago I bought a ipaq 200 off Craigslist I checked it out thoroughly before I bought it from the seller, as soon as I got home I dropped it and the screen cracked and couldn't be viewed.

A woman I work with once got a Droid RAZR Maxx. She was always so smug about it like she had a better phone than me...I had an SGH-I777 Galaxy S2 at the time. I am "the phone tinker-er guy" to many and she thought she was hot stuff "out-doing" me with her phone. Droid this, Droid that....whatever.
Of course, being the way I am about my phone, I bought an extended battery that was a couple of mah more than what the RAZR Maxx had. I don't really know why I did it - - it was petty of me.
"Sadly", she wouldn't use a case and "sadly" she dropped her phone and shattered the screen.
Before all this she would throw digs at me about how cheap and plastic she thought Samsung phones were. She ended up getting an S3 - - remember I had an S2 - - because all the commercials said it was the best of the best.
My upgrade came up and my wife got me my Note 2 (I love her so much! - not just because of getting me my phone, of course).
This phone is the best, hands down. I don't care if it doesn't have a 1080p screen or if the screen doesn't go edge to edge. The battery is phenomenal and it's more than fast enough for me. I am not sure I need any phone bigger than this either. Perfect for me!!
I want to thank all the talented devs that continue to make my Note 2 the best to me.
