If its total destruction your after then take off the back cover then clamp on the ground to an arc welder and then touch the rod in the earphone jack. Its really quite nice......maximum over clock lol.
But I'd probably watch a drownding to.

WTF?? Why would you even think about do that to the phone?

I never understood the whole making your device blend or destroying it unless it's an Office Space situation. As in it's caused you so much grief that you actually feel a sense of closure from beating the crap out of it.
Unless you totally destroyed everything on the phone, i bet some genius person could revive it.

Uploading video now. Microwave next?

Yeah, it fared really well in that video's drop test too, but I keep seeing threads in this forum about drops rendering screens useless, etc

Nice! No wonder case manufacturers are willing to show videos of them dropping the S3 in their cases! Nothing is going to happen! haha :laugh:
The only issue I had with the video is she didn't do a face down/screen down drop test, but still very impressive.
Cool video. Thanks for sharing. It seems to me that dropping phones on concrete is what breaks them.

If it was face down it still wouldn't have broken..it's already been driven over by a car and survived..

Does anyone else take their phone out of their case for a bit?

Just wondering if it's just me that likes to take my phone out of it's case occasionally while I'm at home. I like to use it naked every now and then.

I find myself taking mine out of my case when I'm at home occasionally too. Its a very nice phone to hold in your hand in my opinion, but always keep my Quicksand case on when outdoors.
I'll have to disagree here.
My phone is my baby. I keep it in its case all the time. Since I have the elago barely there case, the case is already barely there. Lol.

Lots of money was spent on the design and ergonomics of the phone....Why ruin it all by putting it in a case. Phones don't last forever, they're good for 6 months, then get a newer one.

I normally buy cheap cases and they get scratches and stuff making it look horrible. So i have not had a case for a month i am gonna get me an expensive one this time abd see how it goes. I saw a sgp one for £29.99 gonna give that a shot.

I for agree with this, the only reason I have mine in a case is because if it gets damaged I will struggle with the repair bill, if that didn't matter I would not use a case, hence why I like to feel other whenever I can.
And it's nice to see it's not just me.

Ive smashed it on the ground about fifteen times and the only effect its had is a small mark/dent in the screen surround.

After I took off my case I found a mysterious dent...

I have the otterbox commuter, it's always on. Tonight I took it off to clean it and found this. Is anyone else getting this, I was thinking maybe a random heat spike. I honestly don't recall any blunt force throuought the day. I have NO idea how this could have happened

ouch man, that super strange.
You would think a dent that severe would have some mark on the case.
The metal is pretty strong. Definitely had to be some pretty significant force to cause that.

Have you pi$$3d off anyone at work recently after showing off your phone? Or have u been regularly using your phone in bed with your partner present?
Currently interchangeably using HTC One, BBZ10 and Note 2
Your lucky it didnt hit your camera lens like a dozen other people on here.... lol @ all this talk of damage and nobody did it themselves... heat caused all of them... heat caused the aluminum to warp.
Dude engines are made out of aluminum.. I doubt your phone got hotter than a car engine and warped.

Wow I really can't believe this. Even the video where the guy shot the HTC One with a rifle split it in half but didn't even dent.
Seriously I know metals expand in heat but up to that point? Never and I am good with physics and chemistry I know that an aluminum 1 meter width at max could only expand by 2mm if heated @100 degrees celsius but this?

Cracked digitizer

So today I flipped open my case and my digitizer was cracked on my less than 2 week old N7. Won't let me unlock or anything. I have not dropped or otherwise damaged it. Has this happend to anyone else? Manufacturing defect? I also noticed last night that on black screens there were some red splotches. I'm just afraid if I try to get it replaced they will say physical damage have a nice day.

I believe it and no have not heard of this happening. If it was a drop, there would be a clear dent or shatter marking on that line before it splits into two. Just talk to google or where-ever you bought it from and try to keep calm. When glass breaks, it shatters and not produce hairline breaks like that.
get it replaced for free.

yup either that or a crack form pressure like sitting on it or having it in the back pocket and forgetting about it.
that's not a defect. it just doesn't crack on its own.

The tablet had slipped down the back of the sofa between the seat cushion and the back of the sofa. I sat down and it must have squished it. The cushions are super soft and I'm still not 100% sure it happened.

is Asus charging you to repair that device?
The nexus 7 has a very weak glass.
Mine got hairline crack from twisting.
Most drop test videos show it breaks on the first drop.
I have replaced first unit, waiting until local repair guy can get parts from his usual source to get first one fixed. May try contacting google/Asus about a repair but have not done that yet.
