Thanks for posting it here and thanks for the videos

so no one noticed that the Gorilla Glass has come away from the chassis? don't believe me? look at the top right hand edge of the device, the glass has gone translucent, and if you quickly pause, you'll notice a line running down both left, and right edges of the glass, at first i thought it was the chrome bezel... it's not... explains speeding the video up, hides these mistakes. TBH still a good case, but throwing it off the roof of a building is a tad extreme.

Polish your specs
That is a bubble in the screen protector and the edges of the screen protector, not damage to the glass.

I have hay fever eyes so you maybe right, however why does it get worst throughout the video ???

If it didn't look too much like a purse, i would get one. I don't think i can take that out/carry it around without feeling embarrased

I agree. but if their leather case is so protective. Imagine what their hard cases can do! Not that they have any at the moment though.

Just received my new Samsung flip cover its fantastic
Talk about superb protection

Nice. Still waiting for this case to be available here in Manila. Does the back cover add any extra thickness over the original back cover? I remember the case for the Note 1 added a bit of extra thickness in the back.

This thread is likely to be closed, there is a flip-cover thread in accessories.
btw, I am waiting for Orange or Blue to get in stock in the UK.

I'm glad you like it OP but personally I'm not a big fan of it. I bought the same flip case when I had my S3 and at first I loved it cause its really stylish and makes the whole device look nice but my issue with it is every time you wanna access the screen you have to flip the case and it gets really annoying after awhile. Plus when you fold it to the side the top and bottom attachment become more loose. Just my opinion but a lot of people out there like it, I hope you do too.

I've never had a flip cover before or anything like it. I've only used hardcases og silicone bodies.
Should be interesting to see if it becomes impractical or not.

It sure adds a little thickness, but nothing you will feel. But the camera is recessed so the chrome wont be scratched as easily as with the original cover, which I think is a good think.
And my cover fits perfectly. I'm glad I ordered it.

phone insurance is for idiots?
you pay a 4.99$ monthly fee then when you need a phone replacement, you must pay 199$ deductible!
why even bother with insurance, it costs the same to replace the cracked screen without insurance.

The Non-tablet Z has a moisture indicator at the headphone jacket which turns red if it gets wet and probably at the other flaps too. I'd imagine the Tablet Z has these too. If those are still okay water damage is probably covered. But that is just speculation.
Mine went under the tab yesterday, today I plan to have a nice long bath with it.
Edit: still alive. Partially submerged use is not practical though because waves trigger the touchscreen. So you have to hold it fully out of the water to use it, even if you do not do anything active, like watching a movie. Not unexpected, but still..

You need kids. Sticky chocolate fingers? Just washing it off is heaven compared to other tablets.

Finally dunk my tablet. Did once over the weekend. Then was confident enough took it to work and dunk it in the office kitchen sink to proof to some of my colleagues who were skeptical about it being waterproof. Sure prooved them wrong hehehe.

Mine has gone into a pool already for confidence building. Apart from the speakers being clogged for like half an hour, it appears to have lived up to its promise, but it wasn't fully submerged (almost was). Given I don't have a warranty coverage at all, it was pretty risky.
I did take a picture though, and it's definitely a conversation point.

Xperia Z1 drop test

Post if you have done the same.
Disclaimer: Not for faint heart. Do not try this..

It hurts bruh!!

If you are thinking of doing this, wait for the killer at the end...glad to know I will have a nice looking paperweight if I drop it 3 times
But nice find.

But I'm really impressed with the vertical drop, where the speakers landed first. I expected the chassis to be filled with dents and holes from the rough surface. But damn our phones are sturdy man!

"Post if you have done the same"
Seriously, who in their right mind would do this on purpose to this piece of beauty

I'm actually surprised it holds so well (well, except for not working afterwards anymore hehe).

Of course the video has been edited, shots from different angles have been put into one video... not all footage is equally interesting. But edited does not mean fake... I at least don't see any reason to believe this would be fake.

I don't like that video. As have been told, they didn't record it straight without video cutting also they didn't show if it works between falls, they didn't try to call if problem is only with display. If I want to guess what is wrong with that device I would rather say that only ribbon cable don't have good connection than device is broken.

You should understand guys that these people are sponsored. They might be getting so much from apple or sammy or lg, or even nokia. They need to make the competition look bad so that people would look the other way around. Sometimes they use these kinds of diversion "Oh I'm really surprised that the phone is holding up so well. The screen might be broken, chassis is junk, back plate/plastic/glass is also broken, but on the lighter side the phone still works flawlessly." ORR "This phone works quite well, but I just can't accept the fact that the loudspeaker isn't good enough."
About the loudspeaker diversion, they're just looking for something negative for their closing remarks. Because that's what usually sticks to people, the closing remarks.

Well, and one should always remember that one instance is no guarantee for other instances...
In these drop tests it can matter quite a bit if the angle in which the phone hits the pavement is just that bit off, or whatever other random influence. It is just AN indication, some ppl drop their phone once and it's immediately shattered. Others drop the same phone 10 times wth only minor dents as a result.
But my response was mainly because people shout "FAKE" or "PHOTOSHOPPED" at just about every video or picture posted on the internet, it was nothing personal @gm007

SEVERAL TIMES? Dude, no offense, but are you retarded? after the first time, did you not think to yourself "maybe this isnt the best place to put the phone"?
And for the people saying about being fake? what? why would it be? a) the unit was probably free from sony anyway.. if not then b) the views they get on youtube for that video most likely pays for the cost of the phone. and c) they do this drop test with most of the phones they review. so remind me again why this could be fake?

The reason they didn't show the phone working after each drop, is probably coz it broke after the first drop, which meant that there was no point in carrying on with the drop test. And they wanted to carry on with the drop tests. That's all!! Stop with the bribing nonsense.

Same here. Protective films on the side and back are still intact, on top of that I'm using QuickWindow

Me too using a quick window and a screen-guard. I dropped it few times from 1.5m height. Landed on the back, bounced turned around, opened the quick window cover, hit the front and slide around 1m or little bit more on tiles.
So glad I had a protector, or the case that it mattered. Once it popped out of the case. But that was about it.
I should also note. IT WAS THE QUICK WINDOW CASE FAULT that it dropped in the first place... I am not sure who design these things.
But my hands are not build to hold it... I still didn't figure out a way of holding it and using it properly.....
---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:06 PM ----------
To answer the question. No its not too fragile. Its an average phone in that department in my experience. Everything depends on the luck of the drop and protective measures if any.

I've developed the habit of hooking one of my fingers into the window case so that in the event that it slips, I'll still be grabbing it by the window. Worked so far for me!
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app

I dont think it's fragile at all, or it's at least as strong as it needs to be for me. The 2nd day I got my G2, my daughter got a hold of it and dropped it from about her waist level onto tile. (she's only 2 and 1/2 btw) Just a very minor nick was left on the corner but it's not noticable unless pointed out.
I have since purchaced this case from amazon LINK. And a couple days after I recieved it, the G2 accidentally went for a ride on the trunk of a friends car. It was face down so the rubberized texture surrounding the screen held it there for a few miles before it slid off. I used the android devce manager online to track it down and when I found it a couple houses down from another friends house, the phone was in the same condition. Granted, this is more of a testiment to how strong the case is, the phone probably slid off at around 45mph.

Lol the car ride..
I want to upgrade my phone it seems like the g2 has the best processor out now, u guys can recommend anything over the g2?

Wow, that sucks. Sorry dude.
I carried mine w/out a case for a week. It made me nervous. The thin bezel on this phone makes a case a must IMO. But, it's a great phone
and it feels solid once I got the corners protected.

For me, it was either the g2, note 3 or z1. The screen to bezel ratio and carrier availability is what won me over in comparison to the z1. And too many people had the note 3 in my area. One of my pet peeves is having the same device as everyone else. Especially when they know nothing about the tech world. Lol. So far in my area i havent run across another with the g2.
I couldnt be any more happy with the hardware performance and the UI so far. This is the first device ive ever owned in which I dont see a need for a custom rom or tweeks so far for what i use it for.

I went with the s4 for a couple months I'll have another upgrade in my account and will get something else and give s4 to my mom....
I passed the g2 cuz its battery is locked in, no SD expansion, and the terrible button design on the back which I don't like....
