I've dropped mine countless times, including off the top of my truck onto asphalt. And off the top of a bunk-bed at camp three times. I've dropped it into the pool, got it out and it was still on . But I did have to replace the entire back housing just to get a new camera lens because mine literally fell off. And I have replaced the speaker four, FOUR times because of it blowing. And I just dropped it from about 1 foot off my chair and it cracked the lens (luckily it's not in the way of the sensor). BUT, the screen has been fine the entire time. Some scratches, but I can not believe the glass has not broken
Hopefully it can make it to July when my upgrade is due. Even though I got it on April 29, 2010. Because I used my brothers upgrade, and he used mine. So now we'll be even.

Good to know.

These phones are really tough. I'm surprised at the abuse mine has taken. Thrown at an above ground pool, thrown at doors, thrown out of a moving car!!!! The last one was with the case on (thank God) and the only thing I've had to replace was the camera housing (knock on wood)

I had a scare last night. I use my phone as my alarm clock and I had a cup of water next to it by my bed. I went to reach for some water and knocked it over all over my DINC and I was like "**** **** **** ****"
It's all right though <3 so glad because I never want to give up this phone.

I've dropped mine probably 10x time before getting a silicone case and some chips on the outer edges of the screen are about the only damage.

I dropped mine in the toilet, fully submerged. It was on and i could see the screen under water. I dried it, it booted right up. The only thing ive noticed is the batterry doesnt last like it used to. Im amazed i didnt have to file a claim as im up for renewal soon. This thing is aesome!

What's sad is that just earlier that day (the day it chipped the screen in a few places), I was on Amazon buying a screen protector and I had put a silicone case in my cart but I removed it because I thought, "I've had this phone for 3 mos and I haven't dropped it.....why buy a case now?"
2 hours later.....BAM......fml.

Dropped my note while cycling...

...and it survived like a boss. Only a small scratch on the back cover.
My iPhone had a much less drastic fall and was destroyed.

Also dropped my Note while cycling. The silicone case took all the shock so my Note is still in a perfect state.

haha, btw, i also like your survive like boss analogy!. but certainly my note is more lovely!!

my note fell twice already. once from a normal table down on the hard ceramic floor and once from the bed down on the wooden floor. not a scratch. having previously owned the HD2 i've come to expect that kind of endurance from a smartphone, and the note didn't dissapoint.

U guys r lucky. I dropped my note once and the top has a small chip. Heavy phone = larger impact

Are you practically saying that any person living in a farm should not have a smart phone??
Answer to your first question "why do you have a smart phone?" is " what's it to you ??? and you said " i don't get it " and answer to that is " he doesn't need you to understand why he bought his galaxy note" as that is none of your frickin business.... HOPE YOU GET IT NOW....

Well I dropped once on a ceramic floor while forgot that my headphone cable was still attached as was pulling it and it literally flew off lol and second time on wooden floor ..My note is like as new hehe Though using a hybrid case..

The Ultimate Drop TEST!!!

So i just bought the note 2 a few weeks ago and desided to give me brand new never scratched mind condition S3 to my girlfriend.In 5 days she dropped it between the elevetor crack and fell down 9 floors !!!
When we finally found the phone (thanks to the elevetor guy) i checked the phone several times in detail and found that the only thing that was broken was the glass in front of the screen the screen worked perfectly (i could still use the phone btw touch worked) .
Samsung i love you..

I dropped mine to a hard ground from normal standing height and I thought it was bad enough until I saw yours.
Anyway mine just got some unnoticeable scratch and works perfectly.
That kind of robustness could only be found in older Nokia phones. :good:

Impossible. The Elevator crack is too small..and i dont think that the phone drops exactly into it -.-

Such pessimists, I've seen old school elevators where there are couple inch gaps and you can see all the way down. I believe the guy, and if it's fake, with a mind like that, he should be writing literature

Well, kudos to Samsung, I suppose. The only weak spot on our phone is made my Corning. (>_>)

I love Samsung and I believe S3 is pretty resistant. Depends on how is dropped. But she should had very bad luck and dropped the phone on the bezel in order to fit that space between elevator... that's why I want to see the elevator.

As for the elevator, did your phone grow wings on the way down and did you or the other half take any funny looking tablets before this all happened?

9 floors? really? is someone willing to perform a Myth Buster? i surely wont because due to physics, there would be more damaged..unless it had on an iron man suit.
my friend dropped his while walking and the phone bounced and flipped many times, the battery cover popped off and the bezel was effed. messed up part about it, it happened right after he purchased it from the phone store.

Liquipel for Nexus 4?

When you go to the site : https://www.liquipel.com/shop/
on the slideshow it shows nexus 4 image with liquid as an image for pretreated devices.. so is this real?

Yes it's a special coating not looked at your link but seen it before

Sent from my Nexus 4 via smoke signals

i know what liquipel is but is there available for our nexus 4? the picture on the site hints that there will be one i think cause right now you cant buy one for the nexus 4

Does this stuff make the phone waterproof or just splash proof? Looks cool nonetheless!

Makes it water resistant, a bit more than splash proof.
Should be resistant to accidentally falling in a pool etc too. Just don't expect to be swimming with your phone

"Disclaimer: Liquipel applies a preventative coating designed to aid in the event of accidental liquid exposure, and assumes no responsibility for water damaged devices. Liquipel does not recommend your device ever come in contact with liquid."
Waste of money. Unless they plug the headphone port and speakers and all other little gaps.
Save your money and buy a Sony if its important to you.

That disclaimer doesn't mean it's a waste of money. If they said "go drop your phone in water now that it's waterproof" is like a car company telling you to crash your car because it has airbags.
You obviously didnt read the info on the website, because it would explain why the headphone and speakers don't need to be blocked

bump waiting to find out if its true or not that they offer nexus 4 a liquipel treatment not if its waterproof or not

I emailed them to ask and they said that is not available for the n4. I'll put up a screen shot of the email in a bit

they have it for the gnex. maybe their graphics dude thought the n4 was the same thing? just a theory

Just went to the official store kiosk at West Edmonton Mall, they said it is a JUST updated to be approved. Got it done for $60+ tax. Does work! Just washed my phone in the sink, still working!

I glanced at the link as I've seen a video before but why does it matter what phone you they use it on? I don't understand how its phone specific.

Indirectly it is device specific. They have to get the manufacture to "approve" the method they use does not damage the device and it may still consider to be under warranty after treatment. That is why not every device are listed. I believe you can get any of them done but you would have to take the liabilities instead in the warranty i think.

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.
