I got one a couple days after it came out and immediately returned it without taking any pictures of it. The proximity sensor stopped working while in the case but worked once taken out, there were tiny scratches and residue of some kind on the screen protector. I've spent a lot of money on a lot of cases over the years and I think this is the most disappointed I've been. For the price I was expecting more, I feel it's definitely over-priced. Hopefully you'll have better luck.
Just got word mines shipped so just waiting for it

Don't tell me that. There are no real other choices for a water-proof case. I don't want a Love Mei... uncle has one and its HEAVY, not heavy.... HEAVY.

I don't need a waterproof case all the time, just for certain occasions. I ended up getting one of the RedPepper waterproof cases for less than 1/2 the price and I'm happy with it. The only draw back is you can't access the s-pen. I stuffed it with paper towels and left it under water for 10 minutes and they were still dry.

I got my case yesterday after waiting almost 4 weeks. I use the proximity sensor to wake up my screen and I've noticed that with most apps that the proximity sensor fails, but there are couple apps that works with the proximity sensor even with the obex case on. Right now, I'm using the obex case with no problems at all including the proximity sensor working just fine.
Touch sensitivity is also very good. This is with using a glass screen protector (feather) along with the built in screen protector. If fits perfectly and doesn't interfere at all with the sensitivity. I was going to take off the screen protector because I've heard that it will interfere with the sensitivity, but I have a thin glass one and it's working the same as before the case was on. I think it can work with thick glass (over .4mm) screen protector as well, but problem is I don't think it will fit within the case since it's already a tight fit with even with a thin one.
Anyway, a very good case IMHO. Only con is the horrible backorder status (you'll probably have to wait a while for Seidio to ship it) and the price is still overpriced no matter how good it is.

Thanks for the review. I am still in the air on water proof case.... I just need something water resistant for swim and fishing season. I dont plan on taking it in the water... but be close to it with a phone is always bad.
I did find this in my search.... makes me wonder.

If waterproof is a necessity, I would plunge for the obex. I did the water test before I put my phone in the case and it's pretty flawless. Some water will seep in through the port area, but the actual inside is very dry.
I can't really say for sure for other brands as this is my first waterproof case, but I would be cautious of other brands especially nameless ones. But like you said, if it's just to cover from light water or splashes, I would say go for a case that just covers the whole phone (including ports). Just make sure not to drop it in water. ]
Also, I know that I said the price is a con, but in the end, that's just subjective so take that with a grain of salt lol.
As requested by the OP, here are some pictures. Please forgive me for the incredibly crappy quality as I took these pictures with a 4 year old Xperia device. The camera is not too great on it unfortunately.
Hopefully someone does it a proper review and provides better pictures than I do. These pictures really don't give justice to how sleek the actual case is.
I'm glad someone is having better luck than I did with the Obex case. For $30 I'm completely happy with the RedPepper case, I've tested it again for 20 minutes (instead of 10) underwater and it's still dry inside.
How deep in the water did you go? Will it just float? What about a toilet fall?
Any practical test? Not just a glass of water or bowl.

The last time I tested it I was ice fishing on Monday (with it 70 degrees out, in shorts and a t-shirt), I tied some extra line to the lanyard, weighted it and left it in 3 feet of water for 20 minutes total. This was just with paper towel in the case. I'll check tonight and see if it floats with the phone in it. I'm not willing to drop my case in the toilet, sorry, I'd want a new case afterwards.

You did enough to convince me. Im totally sold... now to just wait for the case to hit 30-50 bucks. $80 is too large. I'll get a cheaper one till then.
As for a toilet fall... i'm looking an impact before water submersion is all. Most of the time it hits the inner bowl first. BUT who text will standing over the toilet... i would never admit to that one. Same thing with the swimming pool... slip, side of the pool... bounces into water.

You'll be happy with the RedPepper case. I mostly got mine for fishing and swimming. If it gets wet it will only be for a few seconds anyway but I wanted to test it to see how waterproof it actually is when left under water.
Seidio case is getting sent back. 3 ft of water about a minute water inside..... Such a bummer... all seals check and left it in a bowl of water for 15 minutes when i first got it no issues maybe 3 feet was to much for it....

I post the last photo showing the original screen protector on my phone only to prove that i installed my screen protector by myself without a single air bubble up to my friends can't get that there is a protector on my screen and what happened with the Invisible Shield was not due to lake of experience
if you are going to buy Invisible Shield u have to know:
Invisible Shield Disadvantages
1-it is not 4 ur phone.
2-it collects dirts.
3-it peels off.
all of that = UGLY
The only advantage 4 me : it makes ur phone less slippery in ur grip ( BUT to consider to buy on every month )
I have a TP2 with a shield on it. The Zagg Corporation is based in SLC, Utah which is very close to me. I have a shield on all of my things and it is one of the best products ever made. You or whoever put that on does not know what they are doing! FYI the shield has a lifetime warranty. You do not keep buying it!
You cant be serious. Do you sell the generics on ebay?? There has to be more to this because the cuts are insanely worng on that thing!! You sell the generics on ebay and are looking to boost sales? Thats all i can figure
Anyways, was going to actualy order 2 of those for the tilt 2's but now i need to do a little more research. By the looks of it, it seems you are very rough with your phone, but thats not really what this is about. Bubble wrap might be a better wrap for you LOL
Anyone else with the product - IS IT really cut as bad as THAT ????
Nope.
I've had my shield for two months so far and it doesn't look anything like this. First of all it was cut ok - it fits my unbranded TP2 precisely. Second - I haven't got a single bubble, only few little marks in places where phone has been hit hard. And I'm not writing this because I'm a Zagg fan - I'm not. I'll be changing the whole phone casing for black/red in some time and I'd like to try Bodyguardz now.
I have the budyguardz on my Tilt it turn to yellowish after 3 months.
I just purchased this http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280410139530&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT for my Tilt 2.
It stated that it will not change color over time.
Hopefully it is true.
I have had multiple full body invisa shields for multiple phones (tilt, iphone,fuze) and I have NEVER had one look like this after 2 weeks. That looks more like what mine have looked like after about 8 months. You obviously did a HORRIBLE job applying this to your phone. Where did you purchase yours? Mine fits just as it should. Anyone thinking about purchasing one please disregard this "review" of the product. My Fuze looks just as good as it did on the day I bought it after switching to my Tilt2 and removing the old skin.
In wrong place
:Sorry my post was in wrong place it should be in Rhodium accessories forum please Moderators send it to its correct one

I bought a ClearProtector (unbranded version) and tried to put it on a Tilt 2, and failed miserably. It was the right shape and size, but try as I might I just could not get the corners to fit correctly.
Interestingly enough, ClearProtector is in Draper, UT which is a suburb of SLC, UT. Maybe they share office space with Zagg?
I had a Mogul for which I bought two Zagg Shields because I had to get warranty refurbs. While I was waiting for my second refurb to come in and before purchasing a third Zagg Shield, an associate of mine told me he never applied a screen protector and never had an issue. So I decided to forgo the protector for the third refurb, figuring I'd probably have to get another along the way.
When I upgraded to the Diamond, I didn't bother. I didn't bother with my new TP2. My assistant put the in-box screen protector on, and his screen is less sensistive than mine and it looks less sharp.
Is the screen protector even necessary? I stash mine on a belt clip holder (nerdy yes, but functional) and I haven't had any issues with scratches and whatnot. Is the screen protector a force of habit or a real necessity?
I, too, was once like you.
I had screen protectors on my Blue Angel, and on my Universal.
I then got my Kaiser and had a screen protector on that, but it peeled one day and I thought I'd try without it. I managed for about 6 weeks but one day it fell out of my in-car holder, and landed screen-first on the runners for the seat in the car.
Result? One big scratch on the screen.
Though the phone still worked and the touchscreen was ok, using a stylus was annoying as it would jump over the scratch and make things less fluid.
If I'd have had a screen protector on there, I would have simply had to replace that.
Since then, I'm sticking to screen protectors. It's a necessary evil.
Man the shield in those pics look disgusting lol~
Thanks for sharing. : )
I have always used them with no issues what so ever,and I live on the ocean front! Also, you can remove it, soak it in water, and reinstall it if you know what you are doing. Patience is a virtue when installing it..... I have had one on my Athena too for 5 years now with no problems either!Mine fits much better than the one that you show..... Later
the cuts on the shield are not perfect but provide enough protection to prevent scratches...I got the all body protector and had the screen protector but cleaned with alcohol and damaged the screen protector...my fault though...I am quite pleased with this product..
How come that
Even if i was harsh with my shield (which is not true )
can any one explain to me why the shield did not fit my phone as i illustrate in the following photos:
in this photo you will see that the shield edges not aligned with the phone lines.
and in this one i try to demonstrate how the shield was more taller than my phone as the red line shows the actual extension of the shield before i cut the excess material i also draw the actual position of the hand strap hole which located over the mini USB (the red one) before i made the ugly (yellow one)
You're kidding, right?
Tha shield material is flexible. I think you pulled too hard while applying to the device.
Mine is ok, though I was hoping for a better shield - the most important places to protect are the corners and the shield does a bad job in protecting them.
Also I use the original screen protector, not the invisible shield one because it's not smooth enough to slide the pen over the screen.
So, invisible shield - which by the way is NOT invisible - does protect the device half, but it is cut well for the form of the device.
I had Zagg full body shield on my TP1 and after a few months it actually started peelign as well. The screen part was actually ok, but the back started peeling just like on the pictures above. So I am not surprised.
i actually waiting on UPS as we speak...!!! I originally ordered a bodygardz, after a week went by, they sent me an email stating they canceled my order, but did not provide an explanation...i called customer service repeatedly....alas, I was greeted w/ voicemail...still havent rcvd a call back...will never do business w/ them again....
hopefully this invisible shield works out for me... :-/
I use invisible shield too for the tp2 and I know its pain in the ass applying it but once done properly and after a week (all bubbles go away) it looks worth it and definitely not like the one on the pictures posted here.
Regards
It's $20 on amazon. The forum won't let me post pictures of it or links.
Does anyone have one, how sturdy is the kickstand, kinda looks a little flimsy to me? Also, can it withstand being dropped, saying on the corner of the phone? I know they make similar cases for other phones, and could only find a couple of youtube videos, but the guy didn't have the phone in the case nor try the kickstand out.
Thanks!
EDIT:
I went out and got it. It does cover the speaker, but it doesn't muffle the sound at all, or make it lower. The case is a pita to take off though, but I'm not planning on taking it off and on. I couldn't find a case that was a hybrid and had a kickstand besides this one. It has a raised edge over the front screen, so you dont have to worry placing it front facing on a surface. The cameras are also sunken into the case, so those will not get scratched from setting it down on it's back. The kickstand works in all three positions. So if you want to charge it while watching a movie you can. The kickstand may feel flimsy, but it locks into place and does the job. It has rubber at the end on it to make sure it stays put.
Overall it's a great shock absorbing case with a kickstand. I had a speck candy shell for my iPhone, and it saved my phone numerous times getting out of cars and trucks with my phone on my lap and forgetting about it and it hits the asphalt, and I'm confident this case will do the same.

This case from CaseMate blocks the speaker on the back
I got this case for free at the place I got my 3D cause they took days to get me a replacement handset. I've used it once and will never use it again. It is hard to put on and a pain in the ass to take off. It latches on to your battery door like a pit bull and contorts it when trying to take it off. The kickstand seems really frail too.

Didn't know that you could stand it horizontally on both sides. That's neat. Any pics of the kickstand itself?

It REALLY was a major pain to take off. Impossible for someone who plans on swapping out batteries a lot. And it also made it extremely difficult to turn the phone on and off via the power switch. I'm sending it back.
I'm going to get this one when I get refunded for the Casemate.

Yeah, I don't plan on swapping batteries. I rather have something that's going to protect my phone from drops, seeing how I do that a lot when getting out of the car,
i work for sprint so i get to test cases and other stuff out all the time. this case is sweet looking on the phone, although its a little bulky. as stated before on this thread, its a pain in the a** to take off and its a pain to turn on and off via the power switch. the kickstand is very very flimsy as well. too bad cuz this is the sweetest looking case out there with a kickstand.
comes in black also.
I ordered one and it showed up today, I'm definitely a fan. I had one of the cheap snap together cases, and sadly that actually scratched the phone cause it didnt fit tight enough to keep dirt out.. this is so much better. feels so much more solid in my hands, and well protected. swapping batteries.. yeah it makes that a pain. but it's a price I'm willing to pay. And the kickstand seems flimsy but it does the job, I have a hard time believing it'll be a problem cause it's actually so flexible, probably pretty hard to break it.

Dude how did u get it to stand up with the charging port on top?? Everytime i try the kickstand closes and the phone falls over....
R.I.P. HD2 hello EVO 3D!!
Yes there is. the rubber is very soft on the inside so I got a razor blade and cut the section out rite over the speaker sound is a lot better now.

You have to open the kickstand up all the way. It almost opens to a 90 degree angle

If you open it all the way, it locks, then you're able to stand it on it.
Ive had this case (black) for 2 or 3 weeks. Its very tight on the phone, I like that it fits well and wont fall off. I do usually have to use a butter knife on the bottom (no buttons to ruin) to pry it off. I love it. Ive seen it in Black White and Pink. Got it on ebay for $20. The kick stand is kinda flimsy, but hasnt fallen off yet. Hope this helps.
It is a great case I have had mine for a few weeks the only problem I have with it is it will block a little bit of the 4g signal. I have tested it its not a big issue but is ur signal is week it will kick u off 4g

Dude are you kidding me? This same thing happened to me! I use my holster for work mostly. Can you give me some info on how I go about contacting them?
EDIT: Nevermind, found. Good to see I'm not the only one with this problem. [email protected]
The built in screen on my defender got scratched not more than a few weeks after owning it, plus I have had problems with getting dust under the screen. Sent an email asking if it was normal for their product and they put in an order for a free replacement. You cannot beat that level of service.
Shipping me a whole new case free. Freakin'A! Lady said they are on back order so it might take an extra week, but whatever.
I love otterbox!!!!
I spilled lighter fluid on my otterbox defender, thankfully my phone was NOT in it at the time cuz the silicone piece got all bent out of shape!!! But I called them and told them exactly what happened... That I had screwed up my case! All I needed was the outer silicone/rubber part and they said they would ship me a new one. A few weeks later, when I got the package from them, It was a replacement holster clip! Not what I needed. I called them up and told them. At all this, when I got the phone, no store was carrying the defender for the X2 only for the X and since it fit, I bought it anyway... So I told them they had sent me the wrong part, and that I needed the silicone for the X even though I have the X2 and they said they would send me the defender for the X2!!!!! So now I have 2 defender cases, one for the DX, one for the DX2, and three belt clip/holsters!!!! 2 of the holsters are the ones from the DX case which are different from the one that comes with the DX2... And oh yeah, the silicone that I spilled the lighter fluid on eventually went back to its original shape!!!
I love Otterbox and their commitment to the customer! It is outstanding!!!
i have the commuter and really like it with one exception. its a bit too slippery
Wow. Okay I have been convinced by this thread alone to go out and get me one of those bad boys as the body glove case I have is peeling back the glove when I haven't even dropped it. Can't wait till friday to get me an otterbox!! Thanks guys!
Wow glad I found this thread. I busted the clip on my Defender case a couple months ago. I was thinking I'd have to buy a whole new one. I contacted support and they are going to send me a new clip for free!
Awesome customer service! Will definitely use them for any cases in the future and recommend them to anyone.
They were on backorder but....... I just went to the mailbox and found my free upgrade to the droid x2 defender case. I don't even have to send the X1 case back to them. Otterbox doesn't suck!!!!!

If you have the stock moto extended batt you should be fine. I dont have it but from what I have read it should be fine... You might, might have to not use the cover...

Went with the seidio extended battery. Oh well backup case for the more extreme times I suppose.
Otter box is awesome. I have the commuter case & would ever use anther case again.
I decided to finally grab me a defender after work today since my body glove case pretty much just fell to pieces on me. I got it from Verizon store but with the discount my job gives me I only had to pay $35 for it which ain't to shabby.
Only bad part is that when I was waiting for the bus I noticed the box they sold me had been opened or tampered with. So I quickly walked back and the guy swapped it no questions asked which was nice not to have to waste time since my bus was nearing.
On my way back to bus stop I saw the bus coming down the street. So naturally I start running to the bus stop. Well don't ya know my phone decided it was gonna FLY out my pocket in the middle of the street. My heart stopped. I hadn't put my defender on yet. I watched in slow motion as it slammed and bounced on the street sending my body glove case scattering across pavement. To male things worse it had been POURING RAIN all day. I froze as I saw my near mint condition(now naked) x2 sliding SCREEN DOWN on wet pavement toward a healthy puddle. Luckily it stopped just short of the puddle of no return.
I quickly scooped it up and ran to get on the bus. Ahh. Nice. My screen protector I decided was a good investment months ago took the brunt of the damage. There is however now scratches and nicks on the edges and corners of my phone itself. Not so bad considering what could have happened. But nonetheless aggravating that it isn't all nice and smooth now.
I have the now wretched useless body glove case that SHOULD have stayed on to prevent those scratches prepared for execution by burning at the stake with a nice little firework display to seal the deal. Body glove you failed me when I needed you most. Otterbox has come into my life at the best possible time to replace your sorry ass.
Yes this is a TRUE story nothing exaggerated
I just can't believe that happened right after I bought the otterbox. The body glove case was ALWAYS a pain to pull out my pocket and got stuck all the time. Just ironic that this was the only point in which it was able to freely leave my pocket. Its like it knew it was being trashed and wanted to get one last dig in on me. Well now I havebthe last laugh with my left over fourth of july goodies HAHAHAHA(evil laugh)

Wow lol. The only thing I don't like about the otterbox defender case is that it doesn't disburse heat very well. I had mine in this case from day 1, and now that I have a seidio extended battery I cannot use the case. Right below the battery on the X2 gets very hot when using 3G for long periods of time, and I've noticed that I have a very small 'mutation' right there where it has warped upward. Nothing really noticeable unless you are obsessed with the looks of your phone.
That's probably more the radio getting hot. That thing damn near burns me. Which in turn also gets battery very hot and computer sensor reads hot also. Which scared me a few times my cpu sensor was reading around 150. That's a medium steak for gods sake lol. that's fully cooked fish. Lol. That'd freaking HOT!
Hopefully this "soon to arrive" update fixes this or addresses it a bit at least for better efficiency
Curious as to what roms u guys are using?
I've streamed entire movies on my phone running ATRIX, stock and older versions of eclipse and my phone has never gotten hot

My phone gets hot when using 3g at my house due to HORRIBLE signal so my radio/phone is fighting hardcore to pull in some type of signal worth using. Im talking signal of-110dbm to about -90 if I am lucky.
Anywhere else it don't get very hot. I've noticed if signal is -85 or better I don't really have heat problems. Just hoping new update comes with a kernel that includes for efficient use of the radio. Im not sure if that's how it works or bot tho lol.

Definitely among other things. Sorry u guys are having those issues. I mainly use wifi at home and anywhere else I go that provides free wifi. But i have never experienced that particular issue.
I reach rehearsal a little late and was hurrying to get set up and put my 6P on my keyboard and completely forgot it was there. About 5 minutes into the rehearsal the vibrations from the bass in the rehearsal room and my playing seems to have caused the phone to slowly move about until it fell [emoji15].
After all those bend tests and scare tactics I'd seen here and on reddit I swore the phone was done for. It took a 4 foot drop onto a thin carpet. I'm not sure which part of the phone made impact, I just heard the thump and had that sinking feeling because I'm usually WAY more careful than this. It's always these kinda scenarios where I'm late or rushing when my devices get dropped. Anyhow, long and short, the phone is perfectly fine. Not a ding or scratch to be seen or felt. The device didn't bend or implode and all components work exactly as they did before.
Decided to write this post so those worrying can relax a bit. The phone is as durable as you'd expect it to be!

With all the kids sitting on their phones, and slamming the 6P on tables to break the back glass, you'd almost expect it to implode Thanks for sharing this, and glad it's ok!
I noticed a microscopic scratch on my screen today. I've been pretty careful with the phone. Never put it face down or in pockets with coins/keys. So just an FYI it probably is pretty easy to scratch the screen if you're not careful with it.
Glad everything is OK!
Dropped mine 4 times now and it's fine

Coins and keys will not scratch glass. Metal is softer than glass. Get some silica (sand/dirt/etc) in your pocket or a surface that you put the display side down on and accidentally grind it in and that definitely will.
Edit: that said. I keep my phone pocket clean and empty. If you drop your phone on concrete or pavement or the ground, DO NOT WIPE THE DISPLAY OFF! Blow the dirt off first before you cause friction wiping it. Then very carefully remove the rest. Make sure to keep your pockets dirt free. Shake them inside out if you suspect you got dirt in them.

gorilla glass 4...harder to shatter at the expense of some scratch resistance
http://www.evolutivelabs.com/blogs/news/17122293-gorilla-glass-3-vs-4
First drop test of my phone last night. Using a clear case and have a Slickwraps with a glass screen protector. Dropped it off my lap getting out of the car onto the top of the phone and fell face down in the rocks. Small chip on the screen protector and no phone damage. Very happy.
Yeah, mine fell out of my lap onto the concrete from my truck about 2 days after I opened it.. No marks in glass but the metal on edge is a little scuffed. I hate cases since I love the way this phone feels in your hands but the scuff bugs me everytime I touch it lol

I lucked out when I dropped mine. Completely naked, it bounced off my cat's water bowl and landed on the tile floor screen up. No physical damage at all!
(This was one day before my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case arrived - it's been in the case ever since)
lol at people rejoicing because their 6p didn't break
Never dropped my phone...until today I did it twice. Luckily I was at work where I keep the felt back case on it. One was 5 feet up on a hard floor....the case protected it perfectly. That being said...once my dbrand skin arrives ima have to be more careful. I always use tgsp though.

A screen protcetor will prevent your phone from scratching and dropping,why not?

I had mine in my back pocket and sat in a folding chair. I only weigh 146, so it's not like I'm all that big. The back edge grazed the back support as I sat down. I heard a sickening crunch and when I looked at it the back of the phone the glass on the curved section had snapped. I wouldn't worry about the front of the devicedevice, but that back glass is not too impressive. I feel like that curved section didn't have enough support. The curve also likely contributed to the weakness. I now have a case that covers it up and I have no intentions of ever selling this device, but it is still pretty sickening. I've never cracked the glass on any device I've ever owned. This was the only disappointment I've had with this device, especially since I'd had it for less than two weeks at that point.

Hello everyone, since this thread was closed, I thought I'd reopen the discussion.
I'm currently waiting for my preorder to ship, but as of right now there is no specified date in Spain (just mid April). So I thought I'd ask you guys:
What do you think of the build quality? Do you see any potential issues in the near future? I saw the video of that guy scratch his G5 body very easily with a box cutter, of course, it's a box cutter! But do any of you think that will actually chip or scratch with normal usage? Like in your pocket, leaving it on the table, in your bag with other things? I do this all the time with my G4, G3, and every other device, but I have never seen such a video that a guy can literally take off the entire layer with little effort.
So people with devices, have any of you noticed or felt like the primer layer is weak or fragile enough to chip, break off, crack or come off by itself with little effort or every day wear? I'm planning on keeping this device for at least a year! (And yes, a case is on its way, but sometimes I do like to move around without a case - after all, these phones are designed without a case in mind...)
Thanks
The coating seems pretty durable, but I always use a skin on the phone so when I go to sell it it's in mint condition when I peel that skin off. I also keep the pocket it rides in free of other objects. I am sure if you took a box cutter to any phone, it would cause damage.

That's good to know. I just felt like in the video it looked like it was very "soft" or malleable. I just wanted to see what actual owners thought about it . I'm excited to get mine!
It's durable so far. been putting in my pocket with keys and no scratches, dents or dings. Dropped twice off the back of my couch last night onto my hard wood floor and my heart skipped a beat - no damage at all.
I prefer no case. The only thing that will really f-up your phone is dust/dirt as it will scratch everything

There are reports in some threads about small drops and keys dinging and scratching the phone.
With that said, it mostly depends on how it falls. I've heard of people's G4 body/screen cracking from five foot drops onto carpet. I've accidentally tossed mine eight feet in the air and had it land face down on pavement without a scratch, and that was using a Rinke Slim case.

From what I gather you need to intentionally cut into the phone in order to chip. Falls may do it too

And just to add, the phone though light has a solid heft to it (if that makes any sense). All of this talk of it being plastic has me fuming. I tapped the back and sides of the phone lightly on my granite counter top and there is no way in hell plastic makes a sound like that. I tried the same with my G3 and there are 2 distinct sounds...

What people i hear are saying is it does not feel like metal in the hand. LG promised, LG lied, we are disappointed, bla, bla....
it would seem that reviewers are adamant we should live in a world where ALL phones are anodised 'premium' flat slabs !!
Some companies beg to differ.
What is so godamn premium about aluminium. Its the cheapest metal to use. Its soft and dents like anything.

Jerry also bent the 6P with his bare hands, don't think it stopped anyone who wanted one
How is the leather back on the G4 holding up after nearly a year. Corners still peeling but never went beyond. The leather changed colour. The back on this is harder than leather.
So I appear to have developed a small chip on the top left side. I have been extremely careful with this phone in every way. Always in an empty pocket and set down carefully. Might have to get it exchanged.

See that's the thing, I didn't coddle my G4. I liked the feel of the leather, and I'm absolutely certain that I have bumped into stuff while it is in my pocket, that's the facts of life. You can't really avoid that. What I saw in another review yesterday was that in 8 days the device began to chip at the bottom where the magic slot is located. That's from normal usage. I'm very inclined to give it a shot! I loved and still love my G4, but I'm worried that the G5 might not hold up past a few months without seriously degrading the build quality [emoji19]

I hope you're wrong.
My 2 samsungs are very resistant : the Note 1 has felt 3-4 times, and the borders have just a liitle impact on a corner.
The Note 3 et Note 1 's paint are ok since the first day, no scratches, and the screens are ok too, without protection (just flip cover)
Samsung's phone are strong, hoping my future G5 is too :-/

Samsung were very strong devices. The last two years have been very fragile if dropped. The S7E I have now feels like I need to keep it in a diaper... I could drop my note, note 2 or 4. LG G4 too! But if the G5 begins to chip soon after... For the love of God! Hopefully what people are saying is true: there is a factory that has issues, but it's one of the three that are producing! So that's good...
