[QUOTE=PredGD;40505205]Then you'd be dead if you knew the same kind of girls as I do! :v: One I know dropped her phone in the pavement to crack her screen on purpose because it "looked cool". Same thing with another one. And another one after that.[/QUOTE] Do the phone a favor and put it in protective custody
[QUOTE=sdwise;40505115]It's pretty bulky, though, huh? More plastic surface area vs screen space. The thinner, near "bezel-less" screens are the ones that are in danger.[/QUOTE] [thumb]http://dark69slayer.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/dsc02006.jpg[/thumb] Yeah it's pretty thick and the back is grippy which is good. Every plastic back phone slips out of my hand and almost onto the ground half the time.
I carry my Note in my pocket at work. No case, no screen protector. It's almost perfect.
I'm thinking of upgrading my One X to the One but I'm not sure it's worth it since it's still a great phone.
that hand looks really fucking weird in that photo haha and what the hell do you guys do to your phones? I've had my s2 for almost 2 years, I take it with me everywhere and I've dropped it like twice tiny scratch on the screen and a bit of scuffing on the corners

It's not just the battery, the width of of the device is so great. The regular razr is far too thin.

I tend to be extremely careful with everything electronic so getting an HTC One would only need a pouch for me to keep it safe.

Oh, there's no scratches on the screen, just some bumps, scratches and scuffs on the side and rubber back cover.

my HTC Desire Z took anything and everything like a motherfuckin' champ (apart from working as a good phone) I remember in class somebody was doing something amusing and I really wanted to take a picture so I pull it out my pocket and slam it in to the edge of the table as I bring it up, then it flies out my hand and somersaults through the air and lands on the concrete art studio floor, nothing happened to it
[QUOTE=Cree8ive;40505414]Depends, are you due for an upgrade or is it just "buy a new phone" kind of upgrade?[/QUOTE] I managed to lock myself out of my account so I don't know yet.
My SGS2 after a year of using has only one noticeable scratch so far. When I was drunk last summer I accidentally dropped it from about 1,5m high; thankfully it's on the bottom right corner and I see it very rarely.

[QUOTE=garychencool;40506133]I think I've dropped my phone like 20 times and the screen is still alive[/QUOTE] I have never ever dropped my phone ever. I'm super careful with my things, especially things I pay £400 for.
I need rugged stuff, that's why I used an iPod nano 2g for years, I hammered tent pegs in using that, and it still works

[QUOTE=iCole;40501954]What is this black magic? I can't do that with my N4. [B]edit: ARE THOSE SCRATCHES ON THE SIDE[/B][/QUOTE] Gravity is weird in Australia :v: There is one scratch on the side from my car key.
O2 has FINALLY released some updated firmware for the Galaxy S2, and it's Jelly Bean 4.1.2 :D It is glorious.
Received my MediaDevil screen protector's today off Amazon, and my god they're amazing. Easiest application I've ever had for a screen protector. Barely feels there, still feels like the glass. Covered a scratch i had completely. £8 for 2, but such good quality. Also an added incentive is that they included two Moam sweets for no reason :v: [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00C0EUVVM/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1[/URL]
[QUOTE=benjgvps;40507083]So, my friend got that case that I told him to buy: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/NtLn4ri.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] oh wow, it's better than expected!
[QUOTE=sdwise;40504534]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] This is why I don't listen to anybody on Facepunch who talk about build quality. Bragging on about how fancy and sleek their phone is until they drop it and it cracks because it has a flush screen due to shit design. Even the HTC One has pretty bad build quality in the sense that if you drop it, [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwE9PGDnlvs&feature=player_detailpage#t=116s]the glued on front panel just falls off.[/url] To me, if a phone looks and functions exactly the same after 2-3 years of use, that is good build quality.

It landed glass down on the corner of a curb so the recessed glass didn't save it at all. I haven't really dropped my phones since, I'm insanely careful with them because I don't like to use cases or screen protectors.
So does anybody here actually have the S4? I got mine yesterday, and I definitely noticed the lag people were talking about. However, once I turned off adapt display, the lag disappeared. Can anybody confirm?
Does anyone have a Verizon carrier phone they'd want to trade for a literally 2 week old perfect-condition Sprint Samsung Galaxy SII with a case and screen protector on it?
[QUOTE=benjgvps;40507083]So, my friend got that case that I told him to buy: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/NtLn4ri.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] Amazing. Now kill your friend for defacing a Nexus device :v:
