Dropped my DHD the other day :(

It fell out of my pocket while biking.
Chipped the metal case
Has anyone else dropped their phone (I mean serious drops)?

Fortunately not, my friend did drop his iPhone 4 off a bridge whilst taking a photo. A sharp gust of wind blew it out of his hand.
I was laughing for about 2 days.

Yup, dropped mine a couple of weeks ago. Bit of a chip on the top right corner of the case by the screen and a bit of a scuff on the bottom right corner of the sim cover.
Was dropped from quite a height onto a hard pavement, so I'm pleased it didn't come off a lot worse!

Dropped mine too. I was busy attaching it to the windscreen for use as satnav, and my wife called me to help get our son into his car seat (after all this time she STILL can't do it...) I went to assist, but the phone wasn't securely fixed to the windscreen... and, well, you guessed it.
Gutted.

Mine has dropped twice from 50cm ~1.5ft. Bad positioning on the nightstand + groggy first time, and a trip of the lady on the charging cable (phone resting on aforementioned nightstand)..
...two slight chips on the top left corner metal. I'm all about the survivor look, being a Fallout fan, I hate those unwieldy black rubber cases, but it pains me to know that those two little chips are there, right out of sight, mocking me for failing to take good care of my DHD.
And that coming from the guy who used a smashed iPhone 2g for the past 2 years. Cracked yet (surprisingly) fully operational screen, more dents in the metal backplate than you can shake a stick at.
Oh well.

Dropped mine from about chest height onto laminated floor while trying to open a door while carrying shopping, unfortunately it did do something to the internal hardware.
Volume keys stopped working, wi-fi would not turn on and fm radio would not turn on. Case had no visible damage so sent back to HTC under waranty, 20 days later got my phone and its working flawlessly.

dropped mine so many times now but i'm lucky and it just hasnt scratched it

can we have some pictures please

this is exactly the reason I made sure I ordered and received my otterbox commuter series case BEFORE I bought my telus desire hd

only had mine for about a week or so but already dropped it a few times, battle wounds... reminds me of my silver back iphone 1 after a few month, just adds character as far as im concerned.

I dropped mine down a flight of steps on to tiles, man that thing can bounce. It only got the smallest scratch on the top edge where i can see silver but it bugs me every time I look at it but it could have been so much worse without my barely there case or if the screen shattered. If only they sold nail polish in a DHD brown to use as repair paint ...

How is that Otterbox treating you? Any idea if Otterbox defender is any good? Is commuter better?

I don't know about the defender but I ordered a commuter at the same time I ordered my phone and love it. I had one for my iPhone 4. I've not dropped this phone yet *touch wood* but it's a great case and if nothing else it makes the back more even so the camera is less likely to get scratched.

Does it give you the confidence that if you drop it from a considerable height it won't get badly damaged, say 2 feet on a wooden floor?

No drops here (yet), but i remember when i got my first phone. It was 12 years ago, and I, Mini Bazooka, was only 12 years old. I was rocking a brand new Panasonic GD-450. Pretty small back then, but it's about the size of a small grizzly.
I dropped it four floors down, and it landed on the concrete floor. The battery fell off. Nothing more.. Ahh, the good ol' days when a phone was a phone, and not a control center for launching nuclear weapons and baking cookies.

Mine got knocked off a table and fell at least 3 feet onto tile floor and nothing happened. I feel a lot more confident holding the phone and I don't have to worry so much about holding a super thin phone and not letting it drop. The case makes it feel perfect in the hand.

Anyway droped mine a few times my case looks after her thou, she is still like new.

The first time you drop it is always the worst! After that it doesn't hurt so much ;-)
Dropped mine the first time whilst in the toilet. Just managed to deflect it from going down the pan! It landed on the floor luckily and has a marked corner now...
I would buy a case but I really don't like them at all.

I think I had my DHD for about a week before I dropped it, and of course straight into asphalt. It got some nasty scratchmarks on the bottom / bottom left corner. I felt parts of my soul (and wallet) die that day ;(
Bought a gel case the day after, just to prevent further damaging of the DHD case.

Lol your hand must have been shaking really hard.... Random excercise at 2am anyone?

[Q] is it really so fragile?!

I'm thinking of buying a GS2 and what scares me the most are the threads by people who cracked the screen.
All my phones fall, from the first siemens (back in the '90) to my my last htc hero.
At least once a month it makes a flight off the sofa, off the table, on the cement ... at most the back cover comes off, the battery flies away and the body (not the display) reports some scratches.
My hero also shows signs of bites and scratches by a cat, but nothing more!
(try to control a cat a let me know ...)
I read the last post of a poor guy whose s2 fell to less than one meter on the gravel and the display cracked!
But is it really so fragile?!
Is there someone whose s2 has been dropped from a reasonable height and the screen survived ?

You have a 4.3 inch screen, 8mm phone, ofcourse it's fragile. All of them are. Like ^ said, buy a nice case, and you'll have some protection against small falls.

If you cannot afford the Case Mate Tough Case , then Amazon has some reasonably cheap gel cases , do not buy a silicone case as they attract dirt/dust like a magnet

OP, I dropped mine from 1 meter height a number of times, but always on wooden or carpeted floor. Never dropped on concrete or gravel. But I bet most modern smart phones with large touchscreens will crack if dropped on hard surface landing on the screen or even not on the screen but at a proper angle like someone already mentioned.
Either buy a good case, or buy a tough weather and impact proof phone.

dropped mine 100 times.....apart from a few cosmetic scratches, been fine

I dropped mine the first day from about 1.7 meters/5.6 feet(?) (I guess that's the height my ear is at) on the pavement. It's fine, just scratches and scuffs on the corners and the back, but nothing bad.
Bought the CaseMate Tough Case though, just to be sure.
PS. Damn cats! mine keeps battling my remote, it lights up as he touches it... chews through the lcd screens

I have just a full-body screen protector on mine and have dropped it a couple of times and its been fine. What part of the phone that hits the ground first is going to make a big difference too. If it hits the ground vertically on a corner than yes, you're more likely to have the screen crack. A couple of the reported cracks were from stress where the screen was in someones pocket and either pressed against something or sat on. Also, consider how many are out there now and the cracked screen reports are less than a dozen. I was afraid of it when I first got it but less so now.

Having come from Nokia phones and Htc phones.. this is as light as a feather and just slipped through my hands quiet a few times.. but you get used to it..
Once it dropped of the table but no harm done. yes it is very light and I would suggest getting it a case or something to make it feel more in the HAnds although I never used cases on any of my phones leave alone screen protectors.
But yeah you get used to it after a while so go GET one

i threw mine, it still works. Buy a big leather case. Top tip of the day, it saves you ££££'s

You guys just need to be more careful with your phones.

600€ for the phone so the price of the case would not be a problem.
A must have accessory (for my use) is an active car holder; one you put the phone in without having to plug cables, to put the phone out from the case, etc. ( like the original samsung one )
Anyway, thanks to everybody.
At the end I think I'll go for the phone, some "invisible skin" protector and an insurance.

I am really a bit confused about this entire thread. Maybe I just haven't seen the flood of threads complaining about cracked screens, but the only ones I've seen even remotely related are:
1) Some dude dropped a dumb bell on his phone. You be the judge of whether or not that is indicative of the screen's robustness.
2) Some dude dropped his phone into the toilet for a swim with some poo and water. And, it still survived.
So, I guess if you want a phone that is impervious to heavy metal weights being dropped directly on it, then yes, I would be wary of this phone. The good news is, if you're the type to possibly have your mobile phone go for a **** swim every once in a while, you're in luck.
All joking aside, get a decent case for it, screen protectors, and the phone is as well built as any other well built phone. Plus, the phone in its "naked state" is a bit too thin for me anyway.

I dropped mine from like 1,5M on solid stone. Landed on a corner which now has a little dent other then that there is nothing to see...
I was actually surprised it survived i have seen phones die from less.

1m height to solid stone
Dropped mine from 1m onto solid stone floor. Landed flat on the screen side. 2 or 3 fix points on backcover opened. Other than that, not even a scratch. Back cover was also ok.
I have read these unfortunate threads before and I admit I was scarred to to pick it up lol.

Samsung Epic Durability

So I have owned my Epic for just over 10 months. I flash, tweak, etc about as much as the average xDa user. I drop it infrequently; maybe once every week or two, mostly because I also have a toddler who loves taking my phone and doing god-knows-what to it. I never placed a case or screen protector on it. Save for one small nick near the battery opening piece, my phone still looks and operates as if it were brand new. This was my first Sammy phone. Previously, I had the HTC Touch/Vogue and HTC PPC6700. It seemed that I took those phones to the shop at least once every two months for some sort of problem but I have never taken my Epic to the store once.
I have heard about the superior quality that Samsung brings to the table compared to other manufacturers, but I must say that I am very impressed.

I agree. This is the best phone I've ever owned. I did put an Otterbox on it with the screen protector because I am a little clumsy at times. But it runs great and never let's me down. I flash roms, tweeks and themes and have never had any problems. Kudos Samsung. In my opinion the Epic lives up to it's name.

In my opinion, dropping your phone "once every week or two" is frequent... not infrequent as you said
I have probably dropped my phone twice the entire time i've had it.

Excellent Quality
I couldn't agree more.
The Epic is my first "smartphone" and first experience with Android.
My phone before the Epic was actually a smaller, less-powerful version: the Samsung Rogue for Verizon Wireless. That was the first phone of its kind (in the USA) to sport Samsung's AMOLED screen tech. I was really happy with that phone, so when I upgraded to the Epic, I was over the moon. It was new, yet familiar.
I constantly flash ROMs and root and tweak the phone. I've had it since March and its still looking and running like new. Samsung really stepped their game up!

I have never dropped my phone, but when I'm charging my phone, my dog runs in the house and jumps on me and pulls the cable around the house with my phone connected to the cable. Not a single scratch on the screen with no screen cover. My girlfriend has occasionally dropped it from tables, my bed, her hand, and still no scratches. This phone is high quality. The screens on these phones have a coat of something that should be on every phone. I had a palm pro, and that screen would get scratches from anything.

Lol I take that back. It isn't that often. Maybe once every two weeks, which I guess may still be frequent to some ;-)

My epic got accidently punted out of my hand into a brick pillar then crashed to the concrete ground.
Battery cover popped off, and only minor scratches on the casing. Phone still works perfect and everything held up fine.
It may "feel" light and cheap but this phone is a beast
I'm completely satisfied

My friends see first hand how durable the epic is lol
I'm ALWAYS drpping it. Same with my hero before this.
My epic has a scratch on the screen in the middle that it got like a week after I got it somehow so my saying became "gorilla glass my ass" and my phone flies out my lap and stuff and never got a dent or any other scratch anywhere...not even the chrome ring.
I'm very satisfied with the build quality, sans that damn gorilla glass. I woulda put a screen protector if I knew it'd get a scratch outta no where.

My 2 complaints:
1: The top half of the phone scrapes the keyboard, scratching the hell out of it. My old HTC Touch Pro 2 never ever showed scratches on the keys
2: Over time (a few months) the hinge gets sloppy, so the top half of the phone wobbles. This is the 2nd Epic I've had that did it. The only one that didn't (I'm on my 3rd), I only had for a few days, so it never got the chance.
And yes, I open & close the phone a lot, which would cause both issues.
EDIT: And yeah, I have a scratch on the screen that I have NO CLUE where it came from. I must have gotten the dying gorilla.

Carry your keys in the same pocket as your phone, and your screen will have "don't know where it came from scratches". I learned the hard way with my past phones and the screen remains blemish-free. I did drop the phone several times at least, including on concrete - several marks on chrome bezel but works just as it did new. Not a scratch on my keys either and hinge working perfectly.

had the phone since the first day. i work in construction and stopped using a case after a month. i have 2 tiny scratches on my screen (i mean REALLY tiny) and a slightly dinged up case. durability has not been an issue

I had my first epic run over by a car, screen up and the screen was perfect. Amazing. Much other abuse, this thing is a tank.
Second epic I dropped for the first time outside on the sidewalk and it cracked my screen the first drop.
Far better built than it seems at first, and scratch resistant. However all it takes it one drop at the wrong angle, and it's toast.
All in all, very happy with it!
Oh and I love best buys "black tie protection plan"

Dropped mine from about 4.5 feet it landed perfectly flat on the screen with no case and had a screen protector on.(not that I think a screen protector does anything for drops) The screen got all busted up but other than that have had really good luck with my phone.

This things a beast... Dropped my old one on tar and it was fine... And it flung down... But ive never dropped the one i have now... I baby this thing lol.
Edit-hope the gs2 is the same way

I remember before the evo, htc was considered garbage and having crap build quality. I always disagreed because my hero lasted for so long. I dropped it in the train tracks while in the subway, and that was atleast an 8 foot drop, and all it had on it was a scratch under the endcall button. The screen was perfect, and didn't even have gorilla glass! After the year, the call and end buttons lost their covering and I had a big green button and a big red button and the screen had no markings at all...
This phone has gorill glass and gets a random ass scratch 2 weeks into owning it. And I don't even carry my keys in my pants! I always put my phone in its own pocket. Its like a blunt, if you don't give it its own pocket,it'll get all messed up.
But other than that I'm satisfied, like I said in my previous post

Any sand, even a single grain can scratch the screen because it's silica which is harder then the glass. I got two teeny scratches from residue of sandy dirt that got in my pocket with my phone.
But this phone is tough, it took my gf 8 months to mess hers up. She drops her phone CONSTANTLY, pretty much any phone she buys is usually destroyed in a couple months. After dropping hers on hard floors, sidewalks, tile, having it skid across parking lots for a long time the screen cracked but still worked fine.

Fell badly thrice, no effect :)

Hi guys
I have had my device for around 2 weeks. I don't personally believe in using screen guards and cases as I feel it hinders the user experience for which I've paid. Of course this means I need to be real careful! I do use a leather pouch to put my phone in while carrying it around but when I'm at home/work I use it naked...
So, having said that, as a reminder that my said choices are probably not the smartest, since yesterday I've dropped my phone three times. Once from the bathroom counter onto marble floor, once on wooden steps and it bounced down 3-4 of them, and once from a work desk onto wooden flooring. It was face down each time except the stairs when it bounced randomly before landing face down too. I died a little bit each time, but to my surprise my phone is completely ok! No scratches, no dents, no evidence of anything!
Since there is a lot of talk about the cracks appearing on their own, I just wanted to put this out there that things can be good too and this delicate device is actually pretty badass too. I will be using that pouch more though...

Some hope appearing through

Same as my friend: he was gesticulating and literally sent his z3 compact flying a few meters away. It fell face up (shouldn't really matter though, glass on both sides) and not even a scratch on it. I'm thinking there's some defective batch of glass panels.

I think there must be a bad batch, I had some "oh ****" moments too and I don't have broken glass.

Wow !
I don't own one but checked out Z3 C yesterday in Sony Store and due to anti theft tether wires dropped it 2 feet onto counter and nothing happened.
Nice photos in well lit,showroom, sharper than expected
in super auto, more detail in 20.7 no tweak, quik shots.

Just bought jeans and found a pocket inside the pocket...perfect for keeping this phone hahaha

Its pretty cool, I dropped my phone another 3-4 times after that and no damage at all.
Once it was in a plane while landing and the phone fell down and slid down many rows till the front of the plane...when the steward gave it back, nothing!

it looks like weeks from 30 to 44, and above all 36-37-38, are the most affected

Dropped it yet?

Like a lot of people I'm suddenly debating an edge but I'm worried about losing a rim of aluminum or plastic around the screen. I don't do cases and do drop my phone on concrete around twice a year but have never broken anything, am I right in guessing that edge screens lose a lot of durability without a case?

Dropped mine twice, both times onto my Kitchen floor (stone). Not even a scratch, much to my surprise.
Haven't found a case I like yet, and I'm insured, but will eventually get a flip cover I think.

drop it in the toliet 2 times on wooden floor, looks the same as before when i buy it.

That's sweet to hear, thanks!

Dropped my on kitchen floor yesterday thankfully not a mark on it !!

I've had mine for over 2 months, and it's in mint condition. You learn early on that the thing is a bit of a tank, but still manages to be well-manufactured with a premium feel. I've had a few drops thag were hard to look at, but a spray-adhesive screen protector and a flimsy TPU case bought online have protected the phone from any cracks or scratches.

i watched a drop test on youtube of this phone a while back vs an iphone, and although ymmv compared to the video, it did seem like the S6 was pretty tough, it took dropping the phone from around 10feet high before the glass smashed on back or front! I was very impressed.
I want to also highlight how I've gone without a case for the few months I've had this phone, and there isn't one scratch to be seen! Yes it is a fingerprint magnet, but I seriously thought that the back of the phone would look awful pretty quickly, but it's just pristine!

Dropped mine again in the kitchen again no damage thankfully.

Without a good case; this thing is so painful to hands, i mean sharp rear lines. After a long surfing on the hand, it is giving cramp. [emoji51]
And sending an another post. Why?
Because I can..

Yes I dropped mine onto a beer can on the floor which still had some beer in it, this made sure the can did not move. The result of the 3ft fall? the pixels at the impact point are completely knackered, so will need to claim on the insurance when it comes to selling it for the Note 6, as I imagine the phone is probably a write off as it is the screen as well as the glass. Not sure I think much of this Gorilla Glass!

I owned the xperia z and z3 and never managed to crack these once. On the three occasions I dropped my s6e+ it resulted in damage. Why buy an expensive beautiful glass phone to put it in a plastic case?

yep yesterday camera len broken. looks like a right pain to do and looks like camera its self looks damaged too.
