Ok, she broke the second Atrix. The first one she dropped and cracked the screen so I got a rubber case for the replacement.
This time she left it on top of the car and it got ran over by a truck.
Since our health care provider doesn't cover brain transplant, can anyone recommend some kind of industrial war proof hard case or something for the Atrix?
EDIT: Sorry for the bad spelling. Her retardation is contagious.

I second this. Otterbox is also good but I think this ones more durable. Its a bit bulky though.

get one of those helmets that you see some mentally retarded people wear for the phone. otherwise, i think you should... wait for it... wait for it... keep on having patience. i mean you either have to deal with it, because you're obviously dogging her for being "retarded" and staying with her, so that makes you the guy with the retarded girl or you're just going to have to love every phone she breaks. i mean love her for who she is.
...Are you being serious? >.>
Go in the house and smash the stove with a hammer everytime she does something wrong. Worked for me.
But in regards to the case;
I work in a factory operating an oversized grab forklift. I have the otter box defender case, and have dropped it out of the forklift all together heaps of times, no physical damage. Though, its bulky and not very lady like.
I stick by my original advice to take a hammer to her stove though.
I have the otter box commuter and love it. Its just like the ballistic except the commuter has covers for all the ports.

Get her a Defy. She probably doesn't use half the features of her atrix anyway.
For that matter, a Razr will do...

say your kid keeps breaking his expensive toy. are you going to repeatedly buy that kid a toy time after time, never really making him/her responsible for their lack of carefulness?
get her a crappy pay as you go phone.
once she's responsible enough to handle and take care of this new phone... upgrade her.

I've got that, broke several phones on it. When it's EOL (and they can't fix it) they give you credit toward a new phone. Killer deal.
Edit: I also have an Otterbox on mine but that's only because I worked in the field for a long time, losing your phone mid-day kind of sucks.

I have to agree about that Dictator movie. That looked funny. I was messing with my Nexus during some commercials and missed the Sammy one. Thanks! Edit...interesting.. I have been using this firm sponge like tipped stylus on my Epic Touch for a few weeks and I love it. Obviously I can't write on the screen but between that and my Bluetooth, my phone stays immaculate

I do not think people are going to realize how big the Note really is from that commercial and anyone who thinks it is the same size as your larger phone will be in for a big surprise.
I wear my phone on a belt clip and for some reason I do not see that happening with the Galaxy note. I would like to know for the people who plan on getting the Note how they plan on carrying it.

john they are much different. this is like a pro level stylus that uses magnetic input. almost like on the touch pro type of screen accurate only now it is also a cap screen instead of resistive.
Reminds me a bit of the Motorola Xoom commercial last year. Although this one rags on Apple fans more blatantly.
Like others, I think the Galaxy Note is just too big. Even the E4GT is pushing it for me, although it's thinness and light weight help a bit. Plus I would not carry the stylus with me, which defeats one of the purposes of buying the Note. It looks like a cool phone but just isn't for me.

The stylus slips into the back of the phone....can't even really tell its there....of it wasn't for the GS3 coming out I would get it....got to play with one a few days ago.....it would definatly fit in the average back pocket.....feels thinner than my E4GT
sent from the near past
I cant believe i am saying this but I am honestly considering the Note...yeah its BIG but thin, and yes its not for everybody...hopefully itll ship with ICS by the time it gets to Sprint, and will be rooted within the first 24 hours LoL
Haha, thanks OP....Somehow I missed the commercial last night, so this was the first time I had a chance to see it (see it, that is, on a FULLY working version of CM9 on my freaking Nook Color ereader....goddang, I love Android)....
Anyway, I don't know what I was expecting from it, but I wasn't really expecting it to be about the Note, and I DEFINITELY wasn't expecting Samsung to bring back that most epic song by The Darkness: I give it an all thumbs up rating.

Yeah I typically remove mine the minute they show any lift from the casing, which is usually pretty early on. The few times I waited longer to remove them I did end up with a sticky spot, drove me insane.

I removed mine. Stickers annoy me. Just rub the residue off if any is left behind, and you're good to go!
Of course I remove all stickers, for this exact reason, that in a few months down the road, it will look stupid when you remove it.
My phone has lived in various cases since day 1, never noticed it
a little off-topic, but my wifes aunt and uncle always leave the stickers on all there new appliances. They recently bought a couple new flatscreens and refuse to take the stickers off the screens and base of the tvs and it annoys the piss out of me.
I forgot it was even there... Lol
I don't see any sticker at all so I must have taken it off when I got my E4GT in back October.

We do have a subsidized phone available through T-Mo, so I'm inclined to use that.
GS3 seems like the obvious choice, but I'm loathe to hand her electronics destroying hands a new phone (this is her 3rd phone in just over 2 years. The others were similarly destroyed).
I'd be very tempted to hand her the GN and keep the GS3
How annoyed am I going to be with the GS3?
Other ideas?
And why couldn't she have waited a month until the Galaxy Note 2 came out?

Perhaps you could look around and checks phones that will have a nice resale value right now. Not sure what choices you have with tmobile. A gs3 could be had for $200 upgrade price, flipped for $500+ and then buy a nice little mid range expendable phone that will get the job done. Or maybe buy two. This method has it's goods and bads, but if a smartphone is really needed for phone amd text, and the extras for distraction/minimal tasks and getting on the web for fun, reading or tips on breasts hurt while breastfeeding then this might be a good path. Otherwise, get a nice little unlocked nokia or moto for cheap until toddler destruction improves.

Or a defy as suggested. My friend accidently dropped his off the top of a 2 story building while taking a picture. He walked down, picked it up, entered a caption and posted it (he was using instagram). There's just a little nick in one of the corners now.
Also it's waterproof, so that helps with the drink issues.

The key word I see here is toddler, give the toddler that busted sensation. That way he/she has their own phone to dunk in coffee. The other thing is to teach your wife the proper way to deal with water damage, ie battery pull and rice.
And teach her not to put her phone in front of a baby. And tell her she won't like it the next time it happens.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
why does she need a phone in the kitchen in the first place?

I've been lucky enough to play with the note II daily at work and I have to say that the phone is awesome in every sense. Much better than the GS3. I'm very tempted.
