Somebody explain why my Bodyglove case sucks?

I have been lurking around here for about a month since I got my vibrant and keep seeing posts about TPU (is that right?) cases being so much better than the body glove cases, and that BG just sucks.
I mean, the power button is a bit hard to get to at times and the whole thing is a tad bulky, but I'm in the market for the toughest case in town....i have a track record of destroying any mobile electronics, specifically cell phones, in just a few months time
So can somebody tell me what I'm missing out on? Just curious about options I guess
Sorry for typos and errors, sent from using swype

Anyone Know Where The Antenna Is ?

Wheres the antenna on the NS anyone know ?
I looked at http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus-S-Teardown/4365/1
and couldnt tell.
Just want to prevent forest fires, only you can prevent ...
no wait, trying to prevent the death grip.

Antenna seems to be in the battery door. Not sure but theres 2 contacts on the upper backside of phone that makes contact with something that I believe to be the actual antenna. Not 100% sure though just an observation.

That's for NFC. Please do your homework before posting. It confuses others.

I believe the contacts on the inside of the battery door are related to NFC rather than the antenna.
EDIT: Just saw someone posted the same thing above me whilst I was reading about the NFC chip, my bad for repeating.

I thought I did state I wasn't 100% sure. Sorry If I DISTURBED you by voicing an observation I made in a discussion forum. I just don't really understand why people attack other people in a pubilc forum because they're more enlightened than someone else. A simple response with the correct answer would have sufficed. You could have left out the condescending comment.

Nah I have a sister homie.

warrantaaaay!

so, after banging away loading EVERY tweak for over a year (xda is super win!), recently changing into a 3G sim (i missed the memo...the one tmo NEVER SENT!), and recently caving in and flashing 3.14 (yeah, i know, but getting nandydroidysuch on a wonky phone is foolish imho) i finally got a tech to mention a warranty exchange...
i've blown enough fire at them to burn the world (you do it your way, i'll do it mine thanks), and just NOW it's an option?!?
my guess, they finally recieved enough returns to let loose a refurby unit without feeling it.
could be wrong, but meh, corporations are what they are: looking out for the corporation.
no biggie, good on them right?
anywho, tomorrow before 6 UPS will deliver a (hopefully 100% unused) HD2...$5 fee, $337.00 if I do not return my "hindered" unit, warranty replacement.
it's actually got me giddy, especially since the HD7 & Sensation are dry humping each other in the corner like inbred rats....i.e. not the suitable HD2 replacement i was hoping for.
troll away!

btw my 3rd contract with tmo is up next April, surely 307 new htc winmo devices will have come and gone.
any futue speculators on style, design, guts, software, etc.?
all i ned is dual core, forward cam (maybe?), top noth screen/graphics, 4.3", and huge bewbs!
no wait, forget the bewbs...that's another topic.
my bad.

[Q] Temperature Shift Breaks Nexus 4?

Hello,
first of all I'm sorry If you have seen a thread like this before but I want to try and take a different approach.
I wanted to buy this phone but I read countless posts reporting they have hairline scratches without even dropping their phone.
There was even one or two that got them even though their phone was in a case!
Also:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/11/2...-idea-since-the-last-phone-with-a-glass-back/
It kind of really seems to be an issue...
What I wanted to ask did anyone try to deliberately reproduce this? Or can anyone prove that this really happens?
I mean if the phone breaks with regular use without even dropping it it would be one hell of a dealbreaker...
Any rich guy/reviewer wants to run a few benchmarks/games and put it on a cold surface in a room and see what happens?
And please refrain from comparing to iPhone 4/4s I think people have seen enough droptests it would be really interesting to see if this actually happens or not...

1. why would someone try to reproduce it until it's a demo unit given to them by Google which I guess will be a rarity considering they are on back order
2. it happened to my friend and as of now he is waiting for the replacements back to arrive on fleebay
3. you posted in the wrong section

Wow simple to the point. I like it

it wouldnt be a temperature shift from cold to hot, it would be from getting too hot and expanding when the glass was put in too tightly

I hit my Nexus 4 with a hammer and the screen broke. LG better fix it as this is a defect.

Sorry I don't post very often so I'm not so familiar to the sections, if a moderator reads it please move it.
As to your questions maybe you didn't read my post or are simply uninformed. There were already enough Droptests, there are already people who have a defect phone some of them deemed unreparable. Also a lot of people got a review units. Heck there is even a guy on youtube who buys devices with his own money and breaks them in durability tests. If you question why people would do it don't ask me but I reckon someone who would do a droptest or whack their phone with a sledgehammer might be willing to try this.
Sorry for being so dumb to think people who deliberately destroy a phone would maybe be willing to deliberatly get a hairline crack.
Long story short there are plenty of people who could try it out.
meh nvm why are ppl always so offensive...

drop tests are easy to do, recreating something like this won't be easy at all dude and not sure if someone on xda will risk his device like that as the replacement backs are not yet available anywhere. also there is enough proof already that this happens and has happened to a lot of peoplel. so it happens but no one knows why.

Poll: Do you have a scratched display?

Who has experienced scratches on their new S6 Edge? I know this has been discussed on various threads, but no one has seemed to have actually gathered statistics about how widespread this might be/is.
EDIT: This probably might belong in the Q&A section and not here, if it does a mod can feel free to move it!

Forum poll would be preferred. I don't have a google+ account, and would be easier to just keep everything on here.
Edit: Nevermind see it

Forum poll already exists im this thread. Look at first post - use web view (not working in Tapatalk)

It looks like a third of owners from TMO have a scratched screen. This is a big deal. People may want to wait and buy one at the store to make sure it is scratched free.

Definitely. Hopefully though when orders from AT&T/Verizon/Spring/others start coming in we'll be able to get a bigger picture of this whole situation. Maybe it's just a T-Mobile thing... wishful thinking?

Can any non-TMobile users chime in here? I know all the other major carriers are starting to or have already shipped units out.

i would say this is likely to be skewed results, the people with scratches screens, at least on google+, are prolly more likely to respond to this than ppl without scratched screens. Either way though, 30% on that poll saying scratched screens is a tad disconcerting..

I'd beg to argue the complete opposite - this poll is posted in the general forum, so any S6 Edge owner will come across it. Compared to the g+ poll, where you'd have to search pretty heavily to find it (at least in my case) which would generally imply you have that issue yourself - I don't spend my free time searching the internet for problems with the Flex 2 or Moto x Hopefully when more and more people get their devices we can start to paint a bigger picture about this whole situation.

The poll is critically flawed however.
It presumes those voting actually have an S6 Edge.
The fact anyone can tick yes or no without validating they actually have an S6 Edge makes any result scientifically untenable.
Anything so open to abuse without validation of proof will never be capable of truly being representative, or accurate. In a court of law, your evidence would be inadmissible.
Additionally it assumes that equal amount of people who get good and bad devices would be looking at a thread for pre-scratched screens when history as proved that those people with issues are far more likely to search and find threads than those which do not have issues with their device. It's called the distortion field of truth.
So as interesting as poll results like this are - they sadly will never ever be really indicative of a whole.

You may be right but I find it interesting it has been a steady 70 to 30 ratio since the first 10 votes. I did not expect such a steady result.

I never said these polls are completely accurate and I completely agree with what you're saying. But since there's no easy way to ensure people who are voting actually have the device, I feel like it's better to have some poll going than have nothing at all, because I highly doubt Samsung will have users "take a survey".
And maybe it's just me, but I still seem to have just *a little* faith in humanity - I like to think that people aren't being complete a-holes and ruining the polls just for fun -_-

Sadly one more for the yes choice.
Make sure you guys look at the screen under sunlight. I thought mine was perfectly fine in-store.

My phone, as well as my father's phone, both SM-G925i 64gb one black and one white, purchased in New Zealand, are fine and have no scratches on the screen out of the box.
