[QUOTE=Cree8ive;40504339]Reminds me why phones like the Nexus 4 are so beautiful, but extremely delicate, just like a flower...[/QUOTE] And why to get a case
[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;40504276]AAAAAAAAAAAAA Seriously, I cringe a bit when i see other S3's with big scratches and cracks.

I still use it every day v:v:v

It fell out my pocket when I was riding a bike [editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] And bounced along some of the roughest pavement you've ever seen, before exploding in to the battery door, battery and main phone
All these cracked screens... [b]Quit buying phones with flush screens![/b] If you do, get a bumper case at least. A little 1/8 inch bezel between the glass and the edge of the phone accompanied by a 1/16 or 1/32 inch lift around the glass makes a huge fucking difference.
[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;40504431]Does my phone give you nightmares? *The horror*[/QUOTE] My balls clenched at that, holy shit.
Flip cover saves the day. I'm paranoid as fuck on the occasions when i don't use it. Plus it makes a neat stand to watch movies on the train with [t]http://www.svvmglobal.in/ebay-img/Mobile/Samsung/Pouch/Samsung-S3/Model-1/bl1.jpg[/t]
[QUOTE=garychencool;40504362]And why to get a case[/QUOTE] Sure, but I feel a lot of the quality feel of the phone is lost when you put on a case. It's like just listening to the audio of a movie without actually seeing it, part of the experience is gone. But that's in the case of the Nexus 4 or HTC One, other phones I would get a case for. [editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] [img]http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/big-tough.jpg[/img] Have been using this case on my SGS2 since the day I bought it for instance.
I can't do anything about the cracked screen, it costs so much to repair and I only got the phone at Christmas I just use it every day, you don't notice the cracks eventually

Happened to my friend. I'm telling you, flush screens may be pretty, but they just aren't smart from a durability perspective. Bezels and edge lifts are the way to go. If the glass is chamfered at or below the level of the phone edge, you will crack your screen.

[QUOTE=Flash_Fire;40504616]I can't do anything about the cracked screen, it costs so much to repair and I only got the phone at Christmas I just use it every day, you don't notice the cracks eventually[/QUOTE] buy a water damaged one with a working screen, swap out your circuitboards it's worked for people before
If it's not spiderwebbed, I can understand that. Drop it a couple more times, though, and chunks start to come off the bezel. Thats when it happens.

Generally I just get a silicone skin case when I buy the phone (the one that's about 1/8 inch thick and bendy). I feel like if I need a big grippy case, the hardware isn't of high quality and I'm not spending $300-$500 on that. Software is a factor, but if the phone can't take my work conditions, I'm not buying. Software is useless without working hardware.
Does anyone know a good microfiber pouch for the HTC One? I want to have something to put it in when I have it in my pocket so it doesn't have the chance to get scratched up
[QUOTE=garychencool;40504931]Some hate the plastic feel on phones so they get grippy cases[/QUOTE] And that's why I like phones like the Nexus 4, Motorola Razr and HTC One. They feel like quality in the hand.
[QUOTE=Cree8ive;40505024]And that's why I like phones like the Nexus 4 and HTC One. They feel like quality in the hand.[/QUOTE] Until you drop, crush, or are geenerally hard on it without a silicon/bumper case. I wouldnt ever buy a Nexus 4. It wouldn't last a day in the workplace for me. The others, maybe. Motorola's build quality, all the way. Slightly raised bezels, plastic bezel space between glass and phone edge, high-quality build materials... I really hope Google doesn't abandon this aspect of Motorola's business. I rely on it.
I like how were all talking about cases and my potato has never touched a case, like ever and the screen isn't cracked or anything. Just scratches on the sides.

[QUOTE=garychencool;40505077]I like how were all talking about cases and my potato has never touched a case, like ever and the screen isn't cracked or anything.

And that would defeat the entire purpose. on a railroad, everything is bigger and heavier and made of either cast iron or steel. Bumping anything, even lightly, means instant screen cracks on soda-lime glass (happened to my MP3 player). That, plus the fact that you have to be in weird positions (like partially upside down) to work on certain mechanics means phones fall out of pockets. A lot. [editline]2nd May 2013[/editline] an iPhone, N4, or Galaxy S3 or 4 means a cracked screen. All the time. Every time. Even old feature phones don't last out there.

Same thing with another one. And another one after that.

My friend got an upgrade from the S3 to an S4 today and I honestly could not tell the difference apart from the better display.
