Maybe a weird query but I'd like to know this
Mine is 5 weeks old and miraculously I haven't dropped it yet and in last 5 years this is the only phone which I haven't dropped. But the scaring part is, how will it manage if I really do drop it? So if anyone of you has this experience please share with us.
Regards.
lols. in the last 5 years, this is the ONLY phone i've managed to drop! And i've dropped it TWICE!!! OMG i was/am pissed about it.
But luckily, my friend wants to buy it off me, and now I can pick up a brand new one. HAHAHA.
Hopefully, I will not ever drop the new one.
Once. It was in it's case......
three times. perfectly working, one of them it was a crash with my moto. I get injuried but my phone is perfect
I never drop my phone's. Maybe I dropped my last HTC Desire once in a year.. but it was not serious or anything. People need to be carefull with their stuff
so... so many time. At least 15, 10 onto pavment/gravel. The screen was almost flawless throughout all this but a few weeks ago I was drunk and put the phone in my key pocket. Few deep scratches now. Body has some marks but not bad for how many times its fallen, I think its weight helps.
No case/protector.
Very happy. All my phones get beat up, this seems to last better than most.
Just once. Yesterday. I lost my breath. Until I found out nothing was damaged
Haha. Dropped it twice 3 days ago. My heart skipped a beat or two when I heard it smash to the floor. Must've hurt the poor thing so bad haha.
I seriously had a dream where my phone fell apart. One of those dream you don't realise its a dream you know..
the first time i dropped it scuffed the plastic on the corner a bit, the second - two light scratches on the screen. pretty annoying after having had 3 iphones and managing to never damage them!
I've never dropped a mobile in 14 years and I'm not planning on starting with that one
I don't bother with screen protectors and the likes either, haven't managed to scratch a screen yet.

Knocked mine off a shelf onto a wooden floor yesterday. Dropped about 4 feet. Back popped off but...
After turning it over very slowly i was relieved to see the screen in tact.
Phew. No case either. May have to buy carpets for my house to protect the sii from further incidents! (or just be more careful)

I droped mine maybe 1x from ( Inside Car => fallen down to the ground ) nothing happen... ^^
Ok i have also a Zenus Withe Cover
Galaxy S1 also droped few time but same nothing happen...

I dropped mine once when i was drunk and somehow the back cover and battery went flying of. Put it back together and turned back on all good.
But have no idea how that back cover came off? I have trouble taking it off my self.

I dropped the phone out of my pocket while running and the phone slid on the floor, back cover popped off and battery came out. No damage to the phone and it was working fine. I had the phone in my pocket next to my keys another day and figured it was alright since the screen is supposed to be protected by Gorilla glass. When I took my phone back out I had a few noticeable scratches in the glass. I thought that was impossible with the Gorilla glass and haven't put the phone back in the same pocket with my keys ever since.

Gorilla Glass is Scratch Resistant not Scratch Proof. So using it without a screen protector is a bad idea.
Anyway, I have feeling relieved now, after seeing so may of you had already dropped it but nothing happened. So I guess the build quality is good, reliable, that's another very good side of this beauty.

PS- Keep them coming.
Dropped it twice, both times during exams. It helped quite a lot passing 'em tho

Only have it a few days and im ultra careful with it i nearly always keep it in my pocket when im out and about and when im at home i make sure to keep it out of the way from my 2 year old son who picks up anything and everything
so i just joined the team...
i dropped it just now,,,its been 5 mins(the late is due to my paralyzed condition when i dropped it) .... Its totally fine,,,working just perfect,,,looking as awesome as it was,,,
just when u look very closely at the screen(light coming from right direction),u ll notice a 2 mm long scratch on the screen which is like thinner than the thinnest hair,,,,it nothing ....but i am just too angry at myself
I've dropped it a few times with cases on and no scratches on anything, a few weeks ago I was in the basement at work and was using the flashlight, this time without a case and somehow slipped out of my hands and got a 1mm scratch to the plastic bezel on the side was extremely angry at myself!! But it's not bad you can't really notice it unless you look very closely.

Man, my friggin digitizer crack one day, literally like a sheet of thin ice even with a case on. Now, the new one has a tiny scratch and I haven't done anything to it. I have never had such a fragile digitizer on any phone before. Only thing that really bothers me coming from HTC MyTouch 4g where I was in a bar fight and my phone was dragged across the floor and only had scratches, never cracked when it should have been destroyed, lol. Anybody else thing the digitizer is crappy?
Don't get me wrong either, I am careful with my phone, i just can't believe how badly it shattered on a short drop. Annoying as hell!!
I've dropped my phone with and without my commuter case at least a dozen times on a construction site without even a scratch.

Funny you say that. All touchscreen phones are like this. Thin glass. And being that motorola generally makes quality hardware and the plastic on the atrix absorbing impact better than metal phones, methinks you need to take better care of your phone. I see a lot phones during the work week and it seems ive seen a lot of cracked iphones lately. Im not fond of apple but i concede that their phones are high quality. Cant fault a phone or its manufacturer for dropping your phone. You sound silly when you make the mistake but shift the blame.
I voided my warranty.
My first Atrix was tossed out of the car at onto asphalt. I didn't have a case or screen protector on it and after picking up the cover and the battery, everything was fine. A couple scratches and bumps in the plastic but everything worked fine.
The screen finally broke on a fast ball pitch straight down to the floor.

So today at work I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and this is what I saw! Very heart breaking, especially for the first day in the new Ebay case! At least I have the warranty with Best Buy so they will ship it off and fix it! Dropping it off Saturday and should have it back in 5-7 days! Anyone got a loaner phone they wanna let me use in the mean time? Just kidding!
Backpocket? Did you sit on it.

It was my back but I was standing and then squatted, then I remembered it in my pocket so I pulled it out! That's when I saw this. I'm thinking I must have bumped into something before I squatted, that looks like a direct hit crack.
Hopefully your butt didn't do that. Unless you have been watching buns of steel. Then I guess you would know it was working...
Sent from my mobile typewriter.
You must had bumped into something, hard. The screen is pretty durable (at least in the iPhone 4S vs Samsung Galaxy S II Drop test).
Advice: Keep your phone in or left, or right, pocket at all times. Keep the screen facing inward (towards you).
Good thing you got that warranty with Best Buy! For me, I use not a case nor have a good "warranty". I just never break my products! (Went for a year with an unprotected iPhone 4 and it still looks like new - just a few scratches which you cannot see when the screen is on!)
At least you did not break the digitizer! Damn that must have been a nasty hit because Gorilla Glass is supposed to be damned near breakable like that, I would have thought if anything the digitizer would have broke before the gorilla glass. Even my Captivate when I broke the screen, the gorilla glass in that phone looks brand new just the digitizer spider cracked lol

Same here.. except one day I dropped my iPhone 4 after having it for 1 year and 3 month.. screen shattered after that drop.. the phone was like new still >.<.. but one drop.. game over..
Warranty is just too expensive to buy.. for me at least.

A coworker of mine bought a brand new iphone.
It was a nasty rainy day when he picked it up. On the way back to work, he received a call (he had had the phone maybe 10 minutes).
He answered the call & layed the phone in his lap. When he pulled into work, he totally forgot the phone was in his lap & got out. The phone fell into a large puddle & he stepped on it smashing the screen all in one motion.

I also dropped it out of my lap when getting.out of my car. This must be very common. Mine has a small chip in on corner, about 2mm. Oh well, I refuse to use a case.
Rezound, rooted, loving it.
Don't your cars have cup-holders? I keep my phone there at all times.
What I have a bad habit of doing, is at night when I'm chillin on the couch I'll have my phone sitting on my lap on top of the blanket that is covering me. Then when get up to go to bed I'll forget about it and yank the blanket off. Usually the phone just falls on to the carpet, no big deal. On my old Incredible, I did this and it flew up in the air and flipped a bunch of times and landed flat on it's back on my padded ottoman/coffee table. My CM7 lockscreen came on when it landed. My wife looked at me and said "That was pretty good, now do it again". Lol
first day i had my rezound, i dropped it off the counter at my store..so like a 4 foot drop lol..landed on hardwood floor..but was fine. i was so mad at myself i just screamed the F bomb as it fell hahaha

This exact same story happened to me before too! You just need to replace the word "phone" with "pipe", and then replace "received a call" with "smoked bowl". =P
LOL
this thread has inspired me to get a case. my inc2 was cheap enough to just buy another in the off chance that something terrible happened, but not this puppy. besides, it's already massive. what's another couple millimeters on each side, right?

I strongly recommend the OtterBox case for whatever phone you have. I have one for this, my fascinate, the droid 2 i gave my mother-in-law. Besides the extended battery for long trips and when I wanna use the **** outta my phone, the defender was the best thing I got for it. Two days after I got the case I dropped my phone on concrete and kicked it while at work and watched it bounce across the room, woulda been dead without the case.
If it falls out of my truck, it's easily a 4' drop. I'm careful with my phones, never had a major drop with my Incredible, but Otterbox Commuter arriving tomorrow just to be on the safe side.

I'm sorry. As a matter of principle, I dont use cases

I dropped my phone on the concrete sidewalk. While walking/listening to some music my hand caught the headphone wire and pulled my phone out of my jacket side pocket dropping it onto the ground Luckily I had an Incipio case and it fell on a corner. The case corner cracked and saved my phone
I hated cases too but after that incident I will always get a case for my phone.

No need to be sorry to me, just make sure your phone is as safe as your penis then... I'm not the one who'd have to buy a new phone if **** happened to it.
Am I the first one to do so? As I got out of my car the phone fell out of my jacket pocket and as I heard the thud and skitting sound I thought fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu just my luck... Well it seems the phone hit on the soft edge where the power button is and slid on the pavement. After wiping the pebbles off of it I've noticed a couple of small indentations in the soft plastic but they are barely noticeable and not a single scratch on the screen. I guess this phone is pretty durable.

I'm glad that your phone is generally ok.
But reading your story made a part of me die inside.
"fuuuuuuuuuu" indeed
I did the same thing with my Rezound when I first got it.
I dropped it as I was walking to the car and it took quite a tumble!
Several scratches in the outside plastic but the screen survived.
That was before I had any case on it too.

Otterbox Commuter Series - Can't beat that!
Not sure I would say this phone is durable based on that one case, but I can certainly say you were lucky. Truth is any phone will break if it hits the ground at the right angle. Doesn't even have to be a large drop.
I would certainly felt like crap had I broken the phone already, but I don't really want to cover it up
I've dropped my DNA on a tile floor from chest height and couldn't find any marks anywhere to show where it hit. Lucky or durable, I don't know.

My wife has been dropping her Gnex constantly since January. It finally cracked last week. If it doesn't break the first time you drop it, you aren't dropping it correctly

I haven't dropped my DNA...but...my Samsung Fascinate was dropped hundreds of times from carpets to two meters, and it still is fully functional with no damages done to the screen. The Fascinate surely looks like a plastic toy, but it is a boss.

I think my wife dropped it on a pebble, looking at the impact area.
Putting a case on this would be like throwing a tarp over a Ducati.
I've dropped one phone in 12 years. I am consciously reminding myself not to drop a phone when using it.
It's like looking both ways before you pull out into traffic.
Just thought I would throw out a little warning about our awesome phone. Ne very weary about keeping these in your pockets. I noticed a couple weeks ago mine had flexed a little and would no longer lay flat. Not a big deal, so I just went on with my life.....Fast forward to Monday, I put my phone in my pocket to go to work only my screen didn't make it. It was shattered when I got to work.....
I did not bump the phone in my pocket or anything. I babied that thing and the screen still shattered. So.....heed this warning....be very careful!! If you notice it is starting to flex when you lay it flat and it wobbles, be very careful with it!! Luckily I have a protection plan on the phone so I will only be out 50 bucks, but this is the second time I have had to send it in since December which leaves the question, are these phones durable enough for heavy every day use????

I'm curious as how this happenes...
I've REALLY bent mine when trying to get it out of a case, it bent but did not make creaky sound, also I keep it in my jacket left pocket and occasionally when sitting I hear it hit the chair etc etc, makes me wonder if these situations happen because MAYBE of some random manufacturing faults?
did the touchscreen work after it shattered?

If you want to be completely precise. The digitizer and the glass on top of that broke. The actual display did not break. I have dropped that phone 4 feet onto concrete, dropped it onto a tile floor, banged it around in my pocket like you mention above and it didn't even scratch it.
I have heard of other phones having similar issues and I thought people were just being dumb, lol.

Let me guess, you are talking about keeping it in PANTS pockets, not a shirt or jacket pocket.
I've never had an issue with keeping a phone in my shirt pockets. There is no stress on it. My daughter has ruined several phones keeping them in pants pockets.

heared this often on the ZU. The problem is that you need a chase bevore you put it in your pocket, because this device is so thin, that you easily could break it in 2 peaces.
FOR EVERYONE: THIS DEVICE NEEDS A STABLE CASE TO BE CARRIED IN PANTS!!!

hehe yeah i get what you mean, it holds up to being bumped & dropped on concrete, but breaks in the relative safety of a pocket.
However, it was possibly weakened over time from the other spills and drops, and in addition to the added stresses on it (as mentioned above) from being put in your pants pocket, it just gave up?
Yes it's probably best to put on a case while carrying this in your pants pocket (i have the incipio dual pro shine) BUT
For the first few months of having this phone, i always put it in my front pocket with no case and no screen protector, i was a bit careful though. But still my phone hasn't cracked (thankfully) or bent (also thankfully)
Maybe I just got really luck who knows!
It had the incipio dual pro case on it the entire time I owned it. Lol.

thanks for the warning, i'm definitely nervous about this phone
I really loves to use my ZU naked but i afraid that 2 possible things would happen to my ZU:
1)Is in my tight pant's pocket and im working in a workshop. So i might it on some metal when im walking.
2)I tend to drop the phone once a while. Everytime i dropped it,1st things in my mind was "Shot,pls dont crack my lcd/glass"
So i decided to add more protection with metal bumper.
But whenever i remove the cover,it tends to scratch my SP. So i bought 10pcs of cheap SP n will change it whenever i want...
