I have been showing mine off at the office and all the time someone is holding it, especially one handed, I just cringe. My two year old likes to hold it herself while she plays the games I downloaded for her so we are always sitting and I have a pillow on her lap to rest it on. Man! I can't wait for decent cases to become available for this thing.
I hold this thing like a baby when someone else holda it I stand there and watch them carefully I'm not letting this thing hit the ground
I'm looking to get a good case asap also. I had 2 close calls. one time it almost slipped holding it one handed. althoughi love the look of the aluminum back, it is very slippery. I usually try to always hold it with 2 hands. this thing is light as a feather compared to my ipad1 but being slippery makes me Leery of one hand use till I get a case.
had another major scare when my 16 month old daughter took the thick, heavy Comcast cable remote and banged it pretty hard against the screen. you know how lil kids like to bang things in their hand up n down. I was like WoooooooA! so glad this thing has gorilla glass. no scratches or anything from that. I think because its so thin and flat, its pretty much baby proof if they bang on screen with their hands/palms. my Ipad held up to alot of abuse also and I kept it mostly in the official apple case. I have the targus truss case also that I mostly use when traveling. it provides maximum protection but adds alot of bulk/ thickness. my Ipad survived daughter constantly banging on it, drops flat on the screen on hard surface, and drops on the corner of it on hard surface. it survived it all with no screen cracks or scratches on screen. I'm pretty confident the prime can even hold up to more abuse. I don't even think ipad1 had gorilla glass. I am looking for a good case though. I saw a nice one in accessories section of a leather one at amazon. its on sale for like only $11. there's a thread or link to it in that section of prime forum. I forgot the name of it case. looks good.

Yea, I know what you mean. When people are asking me questions about it I can tell that they are looking at me. But all along I am looking at it making sure it doesn't slip from their hands.
No course calls yet I'm thinking of getting an accidental warrenty though

My screens already lose so I need a replacement I'm scared if I drop it screen might become worse
I haven't dropped mine yet, but I took mine to work one day. My boss was talking about how she wants to buy the Ipad 3. I showed her mine and she asked to see it so I gave it to her. After looking at it, she sat it on the desk and the spun it so she could at it in landscape mode. I cringed when she did it but figured it would be fine because of the aluminum backing.
Come to find out yesterday when I looked at the back, there are about 4 small scuffs, two on each side of the logo, which I deducted probably came from my boss turning it around on the desk :'(. I guess the back isn't as tough as I thought. Luckily, I had already called game top 2 days after I bought it asking for an exchange because of screen issues. I just hope the replacement has the same build quality and screen as this one. Compared to my original transformer, the whites looked much more true on the Prime.
Dropped mine, but only from a 2 feet or so, but I tried to soften the blow with my toe. It cut it instead, haha, IT TASTED BLOOD. Anyway, careful, edges are quite sharp when falling ^_^
I did today, and look what happened

I do that all the time to TF101 and the plastic has no scratch. Why Asus had to changed the back to aluminium? It causes only problems...
Had phone since the Sunday it was released...screen has developed a crack at the bottom, just above the capac. buttons going completely across the screen.
Everything still works fine, but is obnoxious to look at.
Heres the thing... (and I know people will doubt this) but I haven't dropped the phone at all. Not even set it down roughly. This morning, everything was normal...went to go to work and put it in my bag by itself (correction - only other thing in there was a book and a wool hat). Got to work, took my phone out and BLAM, crack stretching from one side to the other. No marks around the bumpers or anything. I'm completely nonplussed at what could have happened. My thinking is flex *could* have done this, but that seems like it'd need a hell of a lot of pressure to do.
Well, ATT won't cover it, samsung won't cover it and the quoted repair cost is $200. Deductible for ATT phone insurance is...you guessed it...$200 (or $250 can't remember).
Anyone have any luck with these flybynight screen repair shops? I don't think they'd have the parts in stock for the phone since it is new and kind of a fringe product.
I'm seriously pissed...hung around with my iphone 3g for 3 years waiting for a good phone to upgrade to..finally blow my upgrade and a week later blam.

I would take it to a different AT&T location and see if they'll replace it. Sounds like you got a rubbish device. I can't imagine they would replace it, as long as it's obvious it hasn't been dropped.

Some photos of the damage/device, I have more of just about every angle. I cannot find *any* indication of external damage which makes sense, but still the screen is jacked.
I bet the book fid that. That happened to our recrptionist to her iphone. A book in the back pack. She is a college studemt.

A paperback book could do that? Thats actually very concerning to me as a consumer. I'm extremely cautious with my electronics (ask my wife, she will eyeroll ) and to have something like this occur without any strenuous contact being made with the phone is appalling.
First Samsung phone, and unfortunately will most likely be my last. It looks and operates flawlessly and was exactly what I wanted... but I can't for the life of me see spending that kind of money on something that can essentially break through such light use.

buy a replacement from ebay and fix it yourself. shouldnt be too difficult, I have replaced my iphones and my sensations screen and they pretty much were the same
I tried looking on ebay for a replacement, but perhaps I'm searching for the wrong thing...
can you share a link?
After calling just about every ATT store in town and explaining the problem, I found one willing to exchange it for a new one no questions asked.
I'm still worried about the durability of the phone since nothing major occurred that should cause this amount of damage. Hopefully I just had a defective screen or something and this one will last me a long, long time.
i carry my note in my pocket (I'm a big guy) it rides in the front pocket all day was case-less for the first week i mean i worked played and goofed off with it there can't even tell. i think u just got a bad glass display it is mass produced product and defects do happen.
I myself was very impressed with the build quality of the phone how sturdy it felt despite its lack of depth. So i'd just be aware and keep ur books away from it
should probably just start storing my books on the damn thing

Im guessing you just had a faulty screen. Gorilla glass can take some serious pressure, and is even pretty damn good at shock resistance. I've dropped my old captivate and infuse countless times without a case and never cracked a screen. Hell, last summer my captivate took a kick from a full grown horse when it was in my pocket, and the screen survived. The hoof hit the back of my captivate, bent the backplate and battery, but the screen was fine. It saved me from a huge bruise, that's for sure.
I think you will be fine with a new device, because it sounds like a faulty screen. Don't let one faulty Samsung ruin Samsung for you forever. They make great devices, and their screens are matched by none. Other manufacturers are just as likely do have a defective device, you just got really unlucky with your first note.

I have already dropped my note face down on a corner (it was in a speck case and had a clear screen protector on) and knock on wood it was fine. It is very possible that its just a faulty screen.

No offense, but if you stuffed your Note in a bag with a book or anything else, you're not really that cautious with your electronics. There's a reason I have never damaged any of my phones or tablets. It's because I don't do things like that.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that I "stuffed" it in a bag. The bag in question was a messenger style bag with separate internal pockets, phone was in one, book in the other. Book was a paperback (you can actually see it in my photos) about 200 pages thick.
UPDATE:
Second phone screen cracked. Top of screen near the front camera. Had it less than 24 hours - took it back and they exchanged it again with no issues.
Got it at around 4pm, took it home, put it in case (SGP) and put it to charge, went to the gym and then came home and did some programming for a few hours before bed. Phone stayed on charger the whole time. Next morning I put (note: did not "stuff") the phone into my right front pocket of my jeans (normal jeans, not skinny or anything). It was the only thing in the pocket, had a wallet in my back right pocket and some disposable eye contacts in my left front pocket. Walked about 3 blocks to a lecture checked email on the phone - no crack. sat with it in the pocket (front right) for about an hour and a half, then got up and walked home. Got home took the phone out...crack! About an inch long from the very edge of the glass towards the middle of the phone.
I can't make this stuff up. Took it to the store and they replaced it for me again. Manager said something about maybe they got tussled around during shipment or packing.
Both cracked were white devices. The phone I have now is a black one.
I'm trying to think of reasons why this could have occurred twice. First time could possibly have been from being in the bag, but I wasn't throwing the bag around or anything like that. Second time? Who knows... if walking with a phone in your pocket causes it to break...
I am super thankful that I found a store willing to do the exchanges, and I do love this phone...but what the heck!
I was wondering if any of you do not use sleeves or cases or skins to protect your Touchpad. If so, can you report on the cosmetic condition or damages? Any excessive scratches on the back, or damage to any of the access slots, speaker, head phone jack, etc.
No protection on mine. My touchpad is kinda my throw around tablet as I'm not as careful with it as I am with my other devices. Had it for about a year no scratches on the screen at all, looks brand new. The back is a different story there are many hairline scratches all over the back and a one inch crack at the micro usb
no protection. i throw mine around.
my only damage is that the plastic right around one of the speakers is broken. at first glance it looks completely fine, but if i move it, it dangles. ill probably fix it eventually with some glue
I dont have mine in a case, but it doesn't get much use outside and I tend to take care of my gadgets, bit of a clean freak.
I worry about dropping it though, having used a 7 inch tab more than this the weight difference is a little off putting time to time

Had mine since Christmas 2011. I tend to use mine only on the weekends at home. I have the custom case and a touchstone charger. I am extra careful with it and so far I have no speaker cracks or scratches anywhere. Right now I am listening to some old school rock with my Touchpad WebOs only on the Touchstone next to my desktop. Gotta say I really wish that HP would have continued supporting and making these as WebOs and the Touchpad are awesome. If you were to imagine a world without Apple or Android these would be considered awesome. I love mine and even with my Android phone I enjoy each time I power it up.
I've had two and one developed cracks in speakers and headphone jacks on its own.
HP though offered to service it and I just got it back with what seems like a replaced back casing.
I'm probably going to get a case now just incase

Definitely doesn't help that the touch pad is one of the heaviest 10 inch tablets either.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I really don't like most cases because of the extra bulk they create and even though they are protecting your investment, they hide the aesthetics of the product. I usually go with a decal skin on the back and then throw them into a sleeve when I am on the go.
With the touchpad, until recently, I often used the official case and I like it, but missed the purity of interacting with the tablet directly. Without the case the Touchpad feels pretty balanced and even more fun to use. The only thing I have noticed is that the head phone jack opening feels a little rough and of course I am more conscious of the speakers and take more care not to grab it from the bottom edge.
As for a stand, I love the http://twelvesouth.com/products/compass/. A little pricey but compact and low profile with rubber bumpers in all the right places.
Acase
I have used this model from Acase since I bought my TP. It provides some degree of protection from drops/etc., and is functional for reading/using at a desk, in a chair or in bed --- lots of viewing options. Pretty slim case, given other options out there. Holds up good (I've had it for over 8 months). Overall, I'd buy it again.
Acase(TM) HP TouchPad High Quality Premium Slim Leather Case Folio with built-in Stand for HP TouchPad 9.7-inch WebOS Tablet Wi-Fi 16GB, 32GB (Black)
I just did a search on Amazon and you can find it there.
Good luck.
So, it seems from the replies here that the back is, not surprisingly, more vulnerable to scratches, much like the iPhone 3G was. But it is great to know that some of you, like me have thrown away the case (or never used one) and the world didn't end. Just a few scuffs . . .
I read somewhere that Steve Jobs thought that all the covers and cases for the original iPad disguised the original intention and design of the iPad too much. Whether you like Steve Jobs or not, he kind of had a point. So much thought goes into the design of these incredible pieces of technology and yet we tend to hide them with a big case.

Mine had a couple of serious drops onto a hard floor just after I got it, but no ill effects. Now has the HP "world's-ugliest-case-ever" on it.

I've had two touchpads to date, the first I received with no working sound; took it to a shop the next day and they agreed to replace, thankfully they had some remaining stock. The first did have a small crack from the speaker (If I recall correctly it was the left, if that makes any difference) to the front, it was their upon opening.
The replacement I received had no visible defect, but has since developed a crack on the speaker (very similar placement, but on the other side) along with a crack from the headphone jack to the front. I am incredibly careful with my devices, and this is the first of anything I've ever cracked let alone scratched. It's been in the official case since day one. I do wonder whether the touchstone could be to blame? I have noticed on occasion, in both WebOS and CM9, that it can heat up to an intolerable-to-hold level, to the extent that the device beings to smell (suspect that's the plastic casing?). As it's within the official case, this took me by surprise-- possibly the expanding and contracting of parts has caused the cracks? I wonder if that's a common trend amongst those with cracks and those without?
I'm still happy with the device, the cracks don't bother me as much as they should (primarily because I managed to get one in the firesale) and this is coming from someone whom is particularly anal regarding damages to devices.
I think I am eventually going to get a skin for my TouchPad and then get one of these for when Im not using it:

After my most recent warranty replacement started to have cracking speakers in the official case, I super glued the affected areas and threw a skinomi 'carbon fiber' vinyl skin on t and for the last 2 months, I've enjoyed my TP more than ever. I use a $3 Verizon tablet sleeve and wish I had done this from the start rather than using the official case or a tpu case I was using. Also, screen protectors definitely aren't necessary. I have yet to drop the TP without the case on but this skin provides excellent grip and scratch protection as well as keeping the back clean-looking.

I got my hands on the tp late .. been using one since last 2 months .. i enjoy both the webos and android on it ... started using it without any case/cover and the back got scratched pretty quickly (in about 2-3 weeks) ...as for the screen it is a finger print magnet like ipad2 but i just wipe it with cloth when necessary ... did not get any cracks on it as yet but a lot of scratches on back ...i finally ordered the official hp custom fit case and i find it good value for money ...
Same story, glass looks great, back looks like someone took a belt-sander to it. Alright, maybe just an orbital sander.

Even though this is a how-to on restoring an old iPhone 3G back, it would probably work for the touchpad as well.

Or take it one step further and spray paint it!
Obviously any case will offer more protection, and this was a very expensive phone no doubt... But I dont want to get a case other than switching out the replacement back battery cover, because once you put a case on it, it makes it even larger or my hands. I love the thin profile of the note 3 and with gorilla glass it wont scratch easily, Im super careful when I set it down on flat surfaces and if I drop it well thats the chance I'll take. I also like the chrome accents and the silvery edge that goes all around the phone, any case besides a replament back cover will obviously cover the silver fake metal sides that go all around the phone.
so is this a question? looks like you already made your decision on the matter.
obviously, any accessory is an option, not a requirement. accidents happen. cases protect the phone in those incidents. it'll also keep the original housing of the phone in better condition than the usual wear and tear if you're looking to sell it later on.
If you choose not to use a case, that's perfectly fine.

I'd love to go naked, the thin profile of this phone is terrific. But I'm too scared so this is why i like the official Samsung flip covers that replace the back cover. They maintain the thin profile but at least offer some more protection than going naked. As a great bonus they turn the screen on and off when you open and close the cover respectively.
Its not if you don't plan to sell anytime soon. Screen protectors degrade image quality and most non OEM cases look tacky.
I got the slim fit spigen case. Initial trial of it, although it's probably not adding a whole lot of weight, it feels like it is compared to when I was running naked for the first couple weeks while waiting for it to come in. I've since opted to run naked. I do have a slim armour spigen coming in for days where I will be a bit more active or if I'm mounting it onto something.
IMO, flip cases are annoying because I snap photos all the time, and the flip cases simply get in the way requiring me to hold it with two hands when other cases just one hand operation to snap works. As well unless it's the s-view ones, its super annoying to flip open everytime you want to check something small like the time.
My phone itself is naked.
I can't stand flipcases, as the flap keeps getting in the way of everything. (I'm a woman, so I have even less chance of holding it in one hand, Meaning I always have the flap in the palm of my hand.)
Screen protectors look ugly, are a nightmare to apply and reduce the screen quality. My phone goes nowhere near my keys, so it's not needed.
I am keeping an eye out for an aluminium backcover, but so far there's very little of them. Those that are available don't ship outside the US.
I do keep the phone in a walletcase when it's in my pocket or on the table. This way I can lay it on top of the case so I don't scratch the camera: http://shop.golla.com/epages/Golla.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Golla/Products/G1406
I admire you naked guys really, I don't dare that my 700€ device could drop and brake. It's a huge device in hand and if you do a work that is hard the phone eventually will drop, also you cannot grab it fully with 1 hand. Offcourse I love also the slim naked feel of it but I don't risk it. Atm I have a clear bumber and a tempered tr glass till my Spigen case arrives and I feel secure.

It's silly to not have a case on a $700 device that you use throughout each and every day. I work in cellular retail and every time someone brings in a broken smartphone without a case I ask them about it, and their response is always along the lines of "I'm always super careful and this has never happened before!" and half the time they don't have insurance either.
Accidents happen, which is why they are called accidents; no one can be 100% sure they won't have a careless moment. Not to mention sometimes it's someone ELSE'S carelessness that can end with your phone being broken.
Verizon has a thin shell case (with optional holster) that provides a little grip, a handy kickstand, and most importantly a bit of a raised edge along the screen and camera. It probably won't help much for a 6 ft drop on concrete, but it's definitely better than nothing at all and will at least help prevent scratches if you are against screen protectors.

my last three main daily driver phone I ran naked. Asus PDA (plastic screen), T-Mobile dash, HTC evo 3d. There were some other pretty boss phones in that mix of the last ten years but those were the phones I loved. Non of them had screen protectors or cases. I got my NOTE3 and now I have been protector/case concerned. The device is just so thin and so jewelry like that I'm going to wrap it up tight and see if it adversely effects the experience. Not Otterbox tight, I never understood that methodology. I'm going glass screen protector and slimmest of cases. Unles there is an artful reason to do otherwise which I think is possible. But I need a Golla bag without Zipper or carbineer, just dual belt loop. A saggy bag with a big velco flap that I can use as a transport mechanism. Hard clip holsters suck. I want padded sliding desert bag style low profile, that I set on my belt in the morning with loops and forget about until night. A few years ago Golla had that exact thing. Now they don't. I'm just going to sew myself what I want out of canvas until the market catches up. Horizontal belt clip? are you kidding me?
1 question? Are you mad? This phone? Naked? This is a precious baby you don't go naked with this. It's that awesome I'm waiting for the otterbox.

my last three main daily driver phone I ran naked. Asus PDA (plastic screen), T-Mobile dash, HTC evo 3d. There were some other pretty boss phones in that mix of the last ten years but those were the phones I loved. Non of them had screen protectors or cases. I got my NOTE3 and now I have been protector/case concerned. The device is just so thin and so jewelry like that I'm going to wrap it up tight and see if it adversely effects the experience. Not Otterbox tight, I never understood that methodology. I'm going glass screen protector and slimmest of cases. Unles there is an artful reason to do otherwise which I think is possible. But I need a Golla bag without Zipper or carbineer, just dual belt loop. A saggy bag with a big velco flap that I can use as a transport mechanism. Hard clip holsters suck. I want padded sliding desert bag style low profile, that I set on my belt in the morning with loops and forget about until night. A few years ago Golla had that exact thing. Now they don't. I'm just going to sew myself what I want out of canvas until the market catches up. Horizontal belt clip? are you kidding me?

No, not very likely; I'm asexual. Me having children is something that'll never happen.
I occasionally teach 6-12 year olds for a day. (a few friends of the family are primary school teachers, they sometimes ask me to do photography, tech or design classes for them.)
Not a chance in hell am I letting them touch my phone. Or my tablet. Or my laptop. Or my camera. Or anything else that could easily be damaged.
Also, according to Google a jackalope is a rabbit with antlers.. Is Google on drugs or is that actually correct?

I was not referring to you in person.
But letting a child hold your 1000 dollar phone is even more idiotic.... I would not let it hold a 200 dollar phone, let alone something that costs more than the average car.
Also, what's a jackalope?

Your $700 N3, wait I mean $1000 N3 costs more than the average car? You don't let anyone touch your phone? My girl can use it anytime she wants, if she needs it. My godson could as angry birds on it anytime as well... It's only a phone. It's insured, and of not, easily replaceable. The day any material possession becomes more valuable than a person in my life, is a sad day indeed.
PS- I absolutely love my phone too. Just not as much as people in my life.

This is correct. Remember Americas Funniest Home videos from years ago?

Yes, 1025 USD, it's 750 euros here. Welcome to Europe.
I'm 22, you don't seriously think people my age can afford cars over that price I should hope. Certainly not in this economy.
I suppose that's the difference, I don't have such people in my life.

Just bought a couple of XZU. One for me and the other for my wife. Both of us love the device so far. But today i came across an issue that got me really worried. Apparently the device is very fragile and warps just from regular day to day usage. So, i was wondering how do you carry the device and how many of you have a warped device just by carrying it in your pants pocket. And what measures should i take to preserve my precious device. The sony blog is flooded with complains of spontaneous cracking of the screen which is related i guess. These devices retail in my country for around 300 USD. Considering its config i thought it was a no brainer to buy it. But now i am really worried. So to summerise, how fragile the device is really and what measures should i take to protect its integrity. Sorry if i am asking something that's already been discussed. Will really appreciate any input.
I've had my first one for well over a year now, and the second for 4 or 5 months.
Neither are warped or bent, both have taken dives out of my truck on to concrete. The last dive did split the top plastic bezel and broke my flip case. The flip case is the only protection that they have, and I don't always use it. The device is either in a cargo pocket (if I'm at work) or front pocket if I'm out and about / on the town
Edit:
That been said, it is 2 sheets of very thin class in a aluminium frame
Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. Judging from the lack of responses i guess the issue might not be as big as i thought it to be. well lets see what happens.
Had mine since March and have no problems
Been carrying it in my back Jean pocket, jacket pocket, man purse, etc...
I don't use a case either...

Good to know dude. Eases my mind. Thanks for the reply
Mines twisted pretty bad from being in my front pocket, sitting down, etc. When I place it flat on a table it wobbles, but I think it's amusing. It honestly doesn't bother me one bit.
Lol, good for you then mate. As long as its fuctional everything is fine I guess.
Hope this helps...
