If I could report this I would. But since I'm using tapatalk. I can't.
Phones used to be fairly small, so attaching a lanyard to it and hanging it off your neck was convenient. With the size of smart phones nowadays, the amount of people willing to "hang" their phone from their neck is quite low. It is simply impractical to the majority of consumers.

LOL.. i dont think I would want to put my shiny GS4 on my neck especially nowadays when mobile phone thefts are on the rise, it's like saying "Hello! I have a brand new GS4..and look it's hanging on my neck!!!!"
Just wrong IMO
Because I grew up and left childish ways behind. Why would anybody want to do this unless your in grammar school is beyond me.

I love it. I've been using the tethering on my Epic to download apps. I played Infinity Blade on it and omg that game is amazing. Siri is very useful. It's exactly what I wanted in a speech to text system. I had the original iphone (my first smart phone besides the helio ocean) which was horrible. I dislike the lack of customization and using itunes. The screen is much better than the Epic but you can see how overly Saturated stuff is. Everything works well. I am not an apple fan boy by any means. I'm studying Java to develop for Android. It's good to see what the competition is like. The apps really attract me on the iphone. I don't really want an ipad though because it sounds like a feminine cleaning product and because I'd feel like a douche carrying one around with me everywhere.

Apple really doesn't realize that a lot of Android users will not switch to Apple, even if the iPhone is the last smartphone on earth. I'd happily go back to a basic flip phone even if someone offered to pay me to take an iPhone
(I didn't say I'd refuse the offer - I'd use the money to buy a phone that I wouldn't hate myself for using, and the iPhone would be an ugly coaster/doorstop/replacement clay pigeon...)

I don't see why companys have to play dirty like this--it won't gain them much marketshare in reality. SGS II is just a better phone than iPhone, and Apple needs to understand that people will be upset if they're the ones responsible for it being removed from the market. Just my $.02

I hope Tim Cook and his lawyer cronies get a shoe to the face in public. Even though the Epic 4G is several generations old it's still better and has more features such as 4G, >3.5", AMOLED, micro SD card slot, removable battery, slide out keyboard, etc. than the latest iPhone 4S. Only the iPhone5 will be catching up to it.

This is exactly what apple wants you to do.
well, seeing that litigation doesnt happen without leeches and leeches dont litigate without money, this should go on for another decade or so considering the 1.5 billion settlement.
These actions from apple are what are known as cunning, and cunning is nothing more than the attempt to take down anyone around you while you are collapsing.

So about 9 day into buying a galaxy s4 I accidently dropped it in a cup of water and only half an inch was submerged. Long story short, the phone broke because of it and I now have a new S4. However I am very afraid of how easily it can get water damaged. So I was wondering if anyone here tried Liquipel or have a great water resistant case. The active is sounding more interesting now after this episode.

I'm still amazed at how easily people make the dumbest assumptions based on their negligent behavior!
My suggestion is, DONT DROP IT IN WATER. ITS NOT A BOAT, ITS AN ELECTRONIC! THEY DONT MIX
Liquiped does work, although it's doesnt work on morons so dont go swimming with it
Thanks polish for such kind words. I am very aware it was my mistake so I don't blame Samsung. I just wanted to know what other things I could do from happening in the future.
I've had other smartphones for about 7 years now and this is the first time I broke one. Hope you understand.

I do understand, and i hope you understand this is not the waters fault, or the phones, but 100% yours.
Now, to put that in back, liquipel does work. I had it done on my S3 when i was in Miami. It works. Although, it's a water repellant, it does not waterproof the phone. There is a huge difference between both, one can but fully submerged in water and left there for hours without any consequence, the other might make it resistant to water droplets, rain, and perhaps being dropped in the sink with some water in it. The videos do show the phone fully working while being submerged, but its BS. If a phone is dropped in water, no matter how short, there will be damage. Aquapel might limit the damage but the phone will eventually die when the water starts drying up.
Watch this video to show you what it really does
