Figures; just 2 nights after buying my GN, i managed to shatter the screen.
The sad part is I don't even remember it happening. WAY TOO MUCH GIN LAST NIGHT. Anyway, It looks like i dropped it face down, or tweaked the phone. Idk.
I took my case off so that it would be easier to get the phone in and out of my pocket. Bad move.
Has anyone else pulled a smooth move and done this as well yet? I have a feeling the screen of the GN is going to be easy to break.
I had a similar story with my Droid Charge. Don't remember explicitly what happened and then the next thing I know the screen was broken...
I bought the GN and got insurance this time. Expensive lesson to learn... =(
Samsung really f'ed up on this phone. It feels so incredibly fragile like i'd be worried to squeeze it too hard or it'll break or something... so much flimsy plastic crap. especially the battery cover, what the hell is that!?...
i guess we're going to need to put some heavy duty cases/screen protectors on this phone.
trying to see if i can claim through warranty before i go through insurance.
if i only had the case on...

Do me a favor and squeeze your phone right now... there is no way your going to break it. And I personally enjoy the back. If they had used another back the phone would be thicker. As far as the screen is concerned, go with zagg.

Yup o fumbled it this morning. Bounced around a few times but luckily it only managed to scuff the bottom by the USB port. Not too bad but I never drop my phones.

Honestly, I'm gonna have to agree.
GN seems pretty damn fragile at this point.
Being young, I've dropped many phones. My last phone, a BB Storm2 (I know, I know), just got dropped face down last week. Maximum result of damage? The corner of the screen chipped a tiny bit.
With how exposed the GN screen is, and even because it's curved...
Reiterating again, I will definitely be investing in cases for this phone. Anyone have experience with cases that come in and out of jeans pockets easily?
I would imagine if it was face down and pressed on it would easily crack.

No they didn't. Ant phone can break if its dropped just right. The only thing you can do is be as smart and careful as possible and have insurance.

Lol gimme a break. You can do that damage to any phone on the market today without much trouble.

I used to be a awesome phone, but then I took an arrow to the screen.

I can't agree anymore. Any phone can break if it is dropped just right.
I dropped it while hopping a wall earlier, not a scratch. It landed on the screen, but the contoured display worked.
simple fix.
dont drop the phone. I dropped my droid 1 like once and never dropped my TB. wont drop this one either.

Sorry, accidentally clicked thanks.
But what I was saying. I agree on the battery cover. As far as build quality, of the three phones I own (don't like selling them), the droid 1 feels like the most solidly built. It also feels the heaviest due to the keyboard. As far as the screen, it's glass. Glass breaks or shatters. If you want a screen that doesn't break, get a plastic screen or we could have thicker glass. I agree with the others on how it's dropped. I've dropped my Incredible a few times on pavement, even face down. The only thing that saved it was the lips on the case. The curved glass may contribute. Screen protectors will not really absorb the impact to prevent shattering or breakage.
Bulletproof glass on phones? Lol.
It doesn't feel much cheaper to me though I don't like the battery cover but it probably is related to being thinner than say HTC.
Damn!! I cry for you !! Good luck getting it repaired or replaced through samsung. I dropped my gnex waist down on a hardtop carpet, and surprisingly no scuffs or anything..
48 hours later, and I've got a chip in my glass! I had a ring thrown at me, I was sitting on a couch and my Nexus was face up on the couch itself but half covered by my shirt. The ring just happened to land on it and bounce off. Tiny chip, but I'm so frustrated with myself about it! I dropped my Desire a few times on concrete and all that happened was small dents, now the tiniest little ring knocks it and there you go. Annoyed that I didn't have it facing down, or in my pocket! I hate screen protectors, I prefer pouch cases so I can just put it in there as much as possible.
Going to go to the store I got it from tomorrow and hope to swap it for a brand new one... Wish me luck.

So let me get this straight.....you go get drunk, damage your phone, and don't even know what you did to damage it, and it's Samsung's fault because the phone seems fragile?! You don't even know what you did to it. For all you know, you might have pretended to be scoring a touchdown and spiked the phone down to the ground. I don't see how this has anything to do with the phone being fragile as much as it has to do with you not being able to care for your things.
So you got too drunk and broke your expensive new phone, what's the point of making a thread about it?
Try drinking less next weekend, when you lose control of your limbs and start breaking things that your body telling you something.

Holding your brand new gnex between your ear and shoulder while cooking = bad idea. Especially if you wince when you get boiling oil drops on your face/hands..
it slipped and fell straight on the stonehard floor.
Dropped the phone from ear-height straight on the kitchen tile-floor.. back cover opened, battery fell out. my life didn't flash before my eyes since ICS browser currently does not support flash but I had something like a mini heart attack.
..however, (almost) no damage whatsoever. no scratches, no cracks, neither screen, nor anywhere else except a tiny little crack-ish thing in the top left corner of the device. probably 3 milimeters long, in the middle of the corner. Not sure how the phone landed though. My guess is it hit the floor with the top left corner.
phew! lesson learned.
Any similar experiences folks? Anyone been less fortunate?
That "crack" dead center on the corner isn't a crack. We all have that. It's a seam from manufacturing.
Good thing it didn't fall into boiling oil of death, huh?
Dropped mine a good few times but never any damage so all good. Who needs cases lol
As for flash, personally, my ICS browsers life flashes before it's eyes, as flash works fine in my stock 4.0.2 ICS browser...

The day after I got the phone I was walking home and had to hop a 6ft wall. As I was going over the wall the phone slipped out of my pocket and landed on the asphalt. A little ding in the corner. No scratches, no cracks.

brick wall is fair enough. careful not to brick your device though!
i think ICS browser does indeed support flash.
Scary though, havent dropped mine yet!
Aye, download Adobe Flash from the Market if you feel your stock browser isn't displaying flash.
Chrome Beta does not support it though, if that's what you mean. Anyways, glad your baby isn't hurt. My phone has fallen a few times in various situations and so far so good as well. *knocks on wood*
Well you are all lucky. I have an Otterbox commuter that I took off to clean, while the phone was in my hoodie pocket, i started shuffling (LOL). Fell out of my pocket (while the case was still off), 3ft to linoleum floor. Top left corner of the glass is cracked. From ear speaker to a bit above it, and down to the corner where the LCD starts. Luckily it doesn't affect the screen itself, but it bugs the hell out of me.

The only time I've done it the phone was nestled inside of its sock-home. I got out of the car, looked for my phone, saw it backside down on the asphalt (well I didn't know it was backside at the time). Otterbox + phone-sock = life saver.
Not going to lie though, I chainsmoked like a fiend after that.
I dropped mine too. Early morning my alarm started to ring. I grabbed the Nexi, but it was in wall charger, and jumped out of my hand (samsung cable is VERY short). Buttom line. It smashed into the radiator, and my heart stopped too. The screen actually cracked, but only at the bottom left corner of the front :/
I will have to live with that crack for the rest of my Gnexus days.
It reminds me of, the day I got the almighty iPhone. I was in the bathroom taking a dump, and somehow it slipped out of my hands, and fell maybe 2-3 feet. The screen was completely shattered. The day after, I thaded it for the band new original Galaxy S, and I was now in love with android.

Is it safe to use it without a case (in case of a drop from like belt height), have you has drops like this and no signs of damage, or you have broken the screen or damaged something from less than that height.
And what about the trident case will it protect good from drops from belt height?
thanks

Screen is scratch proof basically, I dropped mine 3 times already at waist level still working fine and im not using any case protector as there is no available stuff like that here on my country yet. I advice you use I-shield for your phone.
I've dropped my play from a bit higher than belt height. The battery case popped off and the battery fell out, but once I snapped it back together, it's like it never fell
I have found that the R800x has been no more fragile than any other phone. I had one of those silicone covers on mine for a while but I had to take it off to use the docking station. So after a while I quit using it, and I haven't had any problems. YMMV.
I dropped mine and it fell face down and it hit the screen. It hit the corner of my desk where the those sharp corners are.
Still the screen works fine!

Wow thanks, i didn't expect it to be so resistant, especially with a big glass screen.
On the other hand, the white plastic is not so fragile.
On my first drop, it hit the ground on the bottom right corner (the Search button area), and a small piece of the white plastic fell off.

What white plastic? The part that the battery back locks in to?
And I believe your choice of words should be "the white plastic is very fragile," indicating that it breaks easily.
It's not that good, I dropped mine on concrete and the digitizer broke straight away, LCD was fine though, before that i also dropped it on the bus and they have that special gritted rubber floor and it scratched the case and the bottons on the back (L1 and R1)
Guess i just have bad luck

I'm a noob so have to ask this. What is the difference between the screen digitizer breaking and the LCD not ?
So you could see everything on screen but the touch screen wasn't working ?

Well digitizer registers screen touches and lcd displays everything, the digitizer is made from glass so it shatters, in my case it shattered but still registered touches
Dropped from belt level, Just some scratches on one corner, otherwise no damage.
I drop mine several times a week. Never from above 2 or 3 feet, and on carpet, but it's like I never did.
I also regularly wake up and find I'm lying on it.
The most I've dropped previous phones is once or twice (the whole time I've had them), if ever.
I don't know why I drop this phone all the time. Every time I do I think, "That's it, that's the one that ****s it up". Not yet though...
It's a tough phone.

i droped mine on stairs ... digitizer fully broken, but still recgnoized the touch commands (good work se )
I buyed a new one at Ebay from HongKong for only 20€, open the play, droped out the old and insert the new digitizer and now i'm happy with this great phone again
It won't be as durable as keyboardless phones, I find the Samsung Galaxy phones to be much more durable with Gorilla glass. I can press against the screen to distort the liquid crystal. I have dirt under the screen also, which never happens with the Samsung.
I think all slide out phones require extra care so I will definitely get a case for it, especially the plastic seems easy to scratch.
Well my friend dropped it on the screen at sitting level. It worked fine. I threw it out of my hand once and it fell flat on the screen and it slid down the car ramp on the sidewalks. It survived with only one tiny scrape on the corner, close to the screen. Ever since I took my case off two weeks ago I've been dropping my phone many times. My friend knocked my phone straight out of my hand yesterday and I had chance to catch it. I got lucky.anyway tthis week has been the worst week for my phone because it has been dropped more than any electronic I ever had in aa year!!!

In my opinion it's a pretty ****ty build quality. Yeah the screen does survive falls from waist height but you should be expecting that from any phone. The hard buttons on the front are quite badly scratched on mine just from normal use. Also I have some scrapes on the corners from the odd drop. And the game pad is scratched I think from sliding the screen up and down so I'm not impressed. I also hate how wobbly the screen is.

LOL, that happens to me too! Good thing is that when you do, the screen becomes smooooth! Sadly it heats up the phone and the digitizer acts up crazy for at least 10 minutes. And yes, it's a tough phone, true that.

Interesting. I'm just waiting for the day you can drop a phone face down and it still doesn't crack. Gorilla Glass 5 or something, haha. Bottom line, they both will shatter if they hit the ground the right way. I cracked my Infuse screen because I was pushing a door open and it slipped out of my hand and dropped face first. Nothing really helps that.
It does bother me a little that the screen seems to protrude on the One X. It seems easier to hit an angle that would shatter the screen. Haven't had my hands on an S3 yet though.
I'm waiting for the day you can drop a phone face down and it smashes the pavement slab!
Poor phones, I wouldn't call it a victory.
It's more pure luck I ques HTC won.

There might be a luck factor to it but when you see a lot of droptest videos they do start to factor in, like with the iphone 4(s) you'd be hard pressed to find a video of it surviving even a slight drop. And I do try to be careful with my phone but all my smartphones have dropped at least a couple of times so I wouldn't buy an iphone 4 like phone

not really, dropped mine from waist height twice in the year that i had it (guess i'm somewhat clumsy), both times on a hard tile floor.
first time it landed somewhat sideways resulting in some body damage and the top right of the screen dying (but it made a full recovery over the next 2 days so it didn't bother me)
second time it landed screen down and the glass was shattered... phone still worked perfectly though
but after i got it back after being fixed through insurance slipped it in to a casemate tough which i dropped 3 more times from waist high (i'm really really clumsy >.<) but all 3 times it happily bounced off the ground with not even a scratch ^^.
tough phone but not indestructible
i'm fairly certain the HOX will fare better falling on the side, the back probably as well since the DHD had the same shape but the HOX is lighter, but screen wise i'd also say the HOX seems more fragile since the screen is sticking out a bit.
haven't dropped it yet, hopefully i'll be able to not drop this for a long time
I've dropped my old HTC Desire no less than 3 times or so from above waist level, the back cover and battery flew off the main body. However, my device was pretty much unscathed; not even a scratch! But I think the main reason is that I didn't drop it on a rough surface like a road or something. Even with that, I'd probably just suffer some cosmetic damage, pretty confident the device will still be operating. Because of that, I have the impression that HTC products are pretty tough.
Frankly speaking, now that I'm using S3, I don't have the same confidence that I will get away with a couple of scratches dropping it on any kind of surface.

well this seems impossible as though the phone make is plastic it cant bent if you have rolled on top as the mattress is soft enough to protect the impact or rather it could have broken due to body pressure and to the contrary i have been carrying the phone in my jeans riding my bike to for the last 3 months and no issues whatsoever.
can you post screen of the bent position

Im taking pic with different cams but that slight bent is not visible in those pics so thats why wasnt responding buddy!! anyways I ll try something in order to show my note
N2 is a big phone, I carry mine in my pocket too, but I try to keep it safe from bending. Its a fact that its easy to bend such a big and long phone but riding a bicycle and bending it is a bit weird, we are waiting for pictures and further posting from you. And if thats true, try to use your warranty and get a new one? You might get lucky!
Sent from the GNote2 running Assassin & SaberKernel
Is it really bent.... than thats one in a million production. Sounds weird thou...
I've seen videos of product testing for the GN2, and one test involved twisting the phone. It always returned to its original shape, and the twist was quite severe. You'd need a lot of force to bend this phone beyond the yield point and I'm not sure you can reach it by rolling over it on a bed. Check the battery, if you haven't already, maybe it's defective, bulging out and bending the phone in the process.
I've also carried my phone in different pockets on my bike since I got it, 1-2 months after it came out. I even fell on it once when my front wheel slipped on a patch of ice. There is a slight ripple in the glass now, only noticeable at a sharp angle, but I don't know if it's from my fall or just a manufacturing issue. Either way, I'm quite impressed with the phone's durability. If falling ass-first on it on the hard icy pavement didn't break it, I'm sure rolling over it in bed wouldn't either. I'd check it thoroughly to be certain that they couldn't blame me for damaging it and send it to warranty.
It doesn't make sense because the front panel which basically made of hardened glass shouldn't bend. If anything any stress beyond its limit will end up breaking it. Anyways, try getting a clear shot otherwise people will have a hard time believing you.

I would think that the only way to bend a glass panel would be to use an extreme amount of heat, like a torch. You would have to heat up the glass until glows red, and then bend the it. I just googled "how to bend glass" and here is a link for anyone interested, http://m.wikihow.com/Bend-Glass
You could possibly flex it, but it should snap right back into its original shape. Besides, the rest of the phone is a fairly flexible plastic.
