Hi. So story goes like this.
While going to biking I was going to put my Defender case on my HD2, but tried it and found out that these invisible shields and this cheap one i got make it that much bigger otterbox defender dont fit. so I left defender in.
When going out of the door one hand on bike and one with HD2 with sportypal finding satellites, tried to close the door and doing that dropped my precious HD2 to concrete floor from around 1.5m or 5feet. I saw it dropping and I was like NOOOOOO, but my music didnt stop playing from my bluetooth headset so I knew atleast it didnt break fully.
Well what do you expect happened to HD2 with gorgeous 4.3" glass display..
.

Pictures tell everything:
Better quality pics: HERE
Well nothing really happened, except little dent on the corner, it looks worse in pictures. I was so sure that I broke my precious HD2's screen but no.
You might notice that theres no invisible shield/other plastic wrap around, thats because I took those off so I can use my otterbox defender again!
Earlier, 2months ago defender case saved my HD2 from mud where it fell when I stumbled in darkness using HD2 as my flashlight
Anyone else had these lucky or not so lucky moments with your HD2? Post your stories and pictures if any.
Thanks.
Lucky git, I've kicked mine a few times as when I drop it I try to stop it hitting the floor so stick my foot out, most of the time it lands on my foot then falls on the floor but a few times Iv'e kicked it a good 4/5 foot :lol:
Feel lucky this is what I got when I dropped mine from 3 feet.
my HD2 survived a 1.20m flight on stone - even the battery-cap jumped away - but the display and the handy was without any problem - puuuuuuh
drop...
I had my hd2 about 3 days and a friend was holding it while i took off my motorbike helmet. she dropped it about 1 meter and all it did was ding the side...
must admit i was bricking it..
Mine has fallen from the top of the toilet onto the floor... My wife came running in when she heard me scream, she thought I'd has an accident. LOL
Incidentally zero damage.....
Very lucky!
I think I would spontaneously combust if I dropped mine...
Oh I had dropped that one several times and not once did it break. Most of the times it fell it landed on it's back or side. The one that did it in was a face shot (lol), It dropped and landed face down for the most part. It landed on the bottom right corner first blowing out the bottom then slapped down all the way killing the upper half. I used to keep it in that gell case and had Invisishield on it as well before. For some reason I stopped using the gell case and the Invisishield started to peel in one corner, so it came off as well. I believe with the use of the Invisishield alone it would have helped in keeping the phone from breaking. That stuff rocks.
There is always that feeling when you get a shiny new phone. You know that you're going to drop it at least once.
The first time I dropped mine from 3 feet ish, it landed on the screen. But as I tried to grab it from falling I just ended up propelling it towards the floor. Then I got that sinking feeling as I went to pick it up. Just as I turned it over I expected the screen to be smashed (it didn't land on a flat surface) but nothing. Just a small scratch on the screen protector.
Also as someone mentioned before, I've done the whole "use your foot to stop it falling but end up kicking it further thing" still in perfect condition. Awesome phone.
Mine has survived a 30 km/h swipe
i was getting to sleep, it was dark and i forgot that my HD2 was lying on bed
when i was sweeping my bed with a pillow, i felt that i've just swiped a heavy metal thing on the ceramic floor , n i heard a glass-metal sound :O
.
.
brightened the light, and it was my HD2 without even a minor scratch
the glass-metalic sound was from the back cover being popped out
I droped ine once in a carpeted room...I went to walk out and it slipped out my hand and flew out... the sound of it hidden the wood under the carpet was enought to scare the **** out of me... I didnt scream...I was breathless the moment it left my fingers..
The other day my sister bought a new phone and went to me to show me and so i can open it up for her... Once she picked it up for the first time, she dropped it. You would think she dove for it. Nope she screamed and walked away... So i laughed and gave it to her.

I've just sent my device to my insurer this afternoon, dropped from taking out of pocket and having butter fingers, this is the second replacement screen I'll be getting, looked the same as yours although the ENTIRE glass front was shattered into what was a rather cool looking honeycomb effect haha, and the row of buttons at the bottom were dying to fall off too, it's been 4 hours and I miss my device already, using a nokia 6300 at the minute!!!
My replacement was one dayed to my house. It would also appear to brand new and not a remaned unit. New one came with a new memory card,charger, the whole box. I also kept my 16 gig card, battery, and rear cover from the broken one,lol.
I have the amazing wallet-phone! (there's thread on here about it) My HD2 jammed into a faux-leather case, with space for cards and money as well. I've thrown my phone place to place and never had a problem thanks to the protective cushion. It might be bulky but the trade-off is I have all my things together, the phone's protected, and when I take my 11-month phone out it looks shiny and new. So there's an alternative for people with the same butter-fingers I have

Yeah that really can save your phone if you have chance to do that. did that with my old Touch HD few times, also found out that if timing isn't right it can go really far away on flat floor

ouch :/ haven't seen that bad crack before, most of em have only screen kind of smashed. I cancelled my full insurance during summer because I thought I can keep it nicely have had luck with these two incidents.
No one was near me when dropped mine, someone probably would have thought Im crazy or something when dropped it and yelled fooock..
Had a incident myself posted the info here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812370
but the end result is this
Im still crying inside
Edit : im gonna now go with the idea smeddy has just tring to find your post now re the case wallet
The first time I dropped mine was on my desk at work. It hit the table 2 twice very fast. I almost dropped it twice in my kitchen on solid hone But I have quick hands and I caught it just in time. The only time I really dropped it was on a carpet from a relatively small height. Those cracked screens look horrible, I hope I never have to see something like that ever again. When I bought it, it didn't have the original case, but another one. I try to keep it in that case most of the time. My problem is not butter fingers, I am not always careful when holding things
My OtterBox Defender has saved mine from 2 drops. Not a bit of damage.
I know the invisible shield type things are popular, but they don't do a damn thing if you really drop your phone.
My wife dropped her HD2 into a bucket of water once. The power was on and she was even on a phone call when it happened. Fortunatly she retreived it quickly and had the Otterbox Defender case on. After removing the battery and making certain it was throughly dry it is working fine to this day!
seeing all these broken HD2's upsets me, though i dropped mine at the bus stop as i was getting it out of my pocket, and the screen smashed at the top left, it still works perfectly fine though.
the next day, i did it again, but as i was walking and the phone went flying forward into a curb and smashed the camera and made the top right of the screen go black!
i've got insurance, but the phone is quite battered, with scuffs everywhere, so i dont want to claim in case they just repair it and give me back my scuffed phone!
and ive never claimed insurance before haha, i feel a bit silly claiming.
i cant post photos because i lurk instead of posting and im yet to be verified ;(
So I have owned my Epic for just over 10 months. I flash, tweak, etc about as much as the average xDa user. I drop it infrequently; maybe once every week or two, mostly because I also have a toddler who loves taking my phone and doing god-knows-what to it. I never placed a case or screen protector on it. Save for one small nick near the battery opening piece, my phone still looks and operates as if it were brand new. This was my first Sammy phone. Previously, I had the HTC Touch/Vogue and HTC PPC6700. It seemed that I took those phones to the shop at least once every two months for some sort of problem but I have never taken my Epic to the store once.
I have heard about the superior quality that Samsung brings to the table compared to other manufacturers, but I must say that I am very impressed.
I agree. This is the best phone I've ever owned. I did put an Otterbox on it with the screen protector because I am a little clumsy at times. But it runs great and never let's me down. I flash roms, tweeks and themes and have never had any problems. Kudos Samsung. In my opinion the Epic lives up to it's name.

In my opinion, dropping your phone "once every week or two" is frequent... not infrequent as you said
I have probably dropped my phone twice the entire time i've had it.
Excellent Quality
I couldn't agree more.
The Epic is my first "smartphone" and first experience with Android.
My phone before the Epic was actually a smaller, less-powerful version: the Samsung Rogue for Verizon Wireless. That was the first phone of its kind (in the USA) to sport Samsung's AMOLED screen tech. I was really happy with that phone, so when I upgraded to the Epic, I was over the moon. It was new, yet familiar.
I constantly flash ROMs and root and tweak the phone. I've had it since March and its still looking and running like new. Samsung really stepped their game up!
I have never dropped my phone, but when I'm charging my phone, my dog runs in the house and jumps on me and pulls the cable around the house with my phone connected to the cable. Not a single scratch on the screen with no screen cover. My girlfriend has occasionally dropped it from tables, my bed, her hand, and still no scratches. This phone is high quality. The screens on these phones have a coat of something that should be on every phone. I had a palm pro, and that screen would get scratches from anything.

Lol I take that back. It isn't that often. Maybe once every two weeks, which I guess may still be frequent to some ;-)
My epic got accidently punted out of my hand into a brick pillar then crashed to the concrete ground.
Battery cover popped off, and only minor scratches on the casing. Phone still works perfect and everything held up fine.
It may "feel" light and cheap but this phone is a beast
I'm completely satisfied

My friends see first hand how durable the epic is lol
I'm ALWAYS drpping it. Same with my hero before this.
My epic has a scratch on the screen in the middle that it got like a week after I got it somehow so my saying became "gorilla glass my ass" and my phone flies out my lap and stuff and never got a dent or any other scratch anywhere...not even the chrome ring.
I'm very satisfied with the build quality, sans that damn gorilla glass. I woulda put a screen protector if I knew it'd get a scratch outta no where.

My 2 complaints:
1: The top half of the phone scrapes the keyboard, scratching the hell out of it. My old HTC Touch Pro 2 never ever showed scratches on the keys
2: Over time (a few months) the hinge gets sloppy, so the top half of the phone wobbles. This is the 2nd Epic I've had that did it. The only one that didn't (I'm on my 3rd), I only had for a few days, so it never got the chance.
And yes, I open & close the phone a lot, which would cause both issues.
EDIT: And yeah, I have a scratch on the screen that I have NO CLUE where it came from. I must have gotten the dying gorilla.
Carry your keys in the same pocket as your phone, and your screen will have "don't know where it came from scratches". I learned the hard way with my past phones and the screen remains blemish-free. I did drop the phone several times at least, including on concrete - several marks on chrome bezel but works just as it did new. Not a scratch on my keys either and hinge working perfectly.
had the phone since the first day. i work in construction and stopped using a case after a month. i have 2 tiny scratches on my screen (i mean REALLY tiny) and a slightly dinged up case. durability has not been an issue
I had my first epic run over by a car, screen up and the screen was perfect. Amazing. Much other abuse, this thing is a tank.
Second epic I dropped for the first time outside on the sidewalk and it cracked my screen the first drop.
Far better built than it seems at first, and scratch resistant. However all it takes it one drop at the wrong angle, and it's toast.
All in all, very happy with it!
Oh and I love best buys "black tie protection plan"
Dropped mine from about 4.5 feet it landed perfectly flat on the screen with no case and had a screen protector on.(not that I think a screen protector does anything for drops) The screen got all busted up but other than that have had really good luck with my phone.
This things a beast... Dropped my old one on tar and it was fine... And it flung down... But ive never dropped the one i have now... I baby this thing lol.
Edit-hope the gs2 is the same way

I remember before the evo, htc was considered garbage and having crap build quality. I always disagreed because my hero lasted for so long. I dropped it in the train tracks while in the subway, and that was atleast an 8 foot drop, and all it had on it was a scratch under the endcall button. The screen was perfect, and didn't even have gorilla glass! After the year, the call and end buttons lost their covering and I had a big green button and a big red button and the screen had no markings at all...
This phone has gorill glass and gets a random ass scratch 2 weeks into owning it. And I don't even carry my keys in my pants! I always put my phone in its own pocket. Its like a blunt, if you don't give it its own pocket,it'll get all messed up.
But other than that I'm satisfied, like I said in my previous post

Any sand, even a single grain can scratch the screen because it's silica which is harder then the glass. I got two teeny scratches from residue of sandy dirt that got in my pocket with my phone.
But this phone is tough, it took my gf 8 months to mess hers up. She drops her phone CONSTANTLY, pretty much any phone she buys is usually destroyed in a couple months. After dropping hers on hard floors, sidewalks, tile, having it skid across parking lots for a long time the screen cracked but still worked fine.
1 time. Luckily the bumper protected my device, then wasn't damaged
10+ times. Not a scratch on it. I only have screen protector, no bumper or anything.
It has fallen onte wooden floors, concrete floors, tarmac etc..
Really good quality I'd say.

The cheap ones...a lot of time!!
1 time on concrete floor with flip cover and battery flyin to different directions, gathered and put it back and work as usual
Same here, even though i have a gel case and screen protector on it, the note was a lot of money, and i cannot afford to replace it.

1 time in my holiday in Thailand. Fell down exactly on a sharp edge of a small stone. Crack'n Cry
But: Samsung service center in Udon Thani repaired the display and even put in a new motherboard within three days. Great service and unbeatable price.
one time on the carpet from 2 feet, almost had a heart attack! no problems at all
Twice. Once on the concrete and once on asphalt. Got a couple of tiny marks on the bezel, so nothing special.
Bought on 20th Jan, ZERO drops.
Probably because I quit alcohol.
Probably once or twice a day, thats nearly 180 falls, I'm really clumsy and distracted, but with TPU case and screen shield it's intact...
I should count my throws, when drunk I throwed it twice already at someone who made fun of his size, no problems yet thankfully, really nokia build quality comparable.
several times per week and mostly on tiles
and everytime i think that the screen is gone but it suprises me everytime
great build quality
the side bezel and back cover have some scratches but the screen is still intact

Have you considered quit drinking?
Three or four times. In all of them, but one, my Note was protected by bumper. Not a single scratch, so far
I've dropped mine a few times and all has been fine as it's in a Tridea case and the phone is fully covered, but one time last month I took it out if the case to change the battery and dropped it on to concrete.... the one time it's out of the case and I drop it!
Needless to say, it now has the battle scars on the Bezel to show it was in the "great war" but the screen is fine and so is it's general workings lol.

Just wanted to say that I've noticed a lot of posts saying how fragile the SGS3 is, now I don't know if I'm lucky or if those who's s3s have broken are just unlucky but I've had an awful lot of accidents with mine the past few weeks, including dropping it on hard concrete from my ear (about 5 foot 9 inches) a few times, dropping it down the stairs, dropping it onto a bedside lamp that I'd places in the floor during a sort out (my S3 actually smashed the lamp stand lol).
The only problem with my S3 is 2 small scratches on the bezel.
So is the S3 so fragile afterall or am I just lucky?

I agree, this thing is hardcore. I went to sit in my friends car, as I was sitting I was closing the door and my phone fell out of my pocket and shut the phone in the door. I was wtf just happened. Then the phone fell to the ground when I opened the door. The stock battery got twisted and battery cover was scratched. I turned it on everything worked, no scratches on the screen. Two hours later my case came in the mail. I ended up buying two qcell batteries from Amazon.com. I was able to straighten the battery out a bit. That thing still works...
I don't think you're lucky, just a really nice device...

I have never thought a mobile phone may survive from several feet falling, but I would not expect my phone cover material crack after several months usage. I have noticed that these posts have been started a month ago, and not seen so much post complaint the same issue. Just hope it is only some sort of manufacture defect batch, otherwise this is major headache for Samsung according to the production size of Galaxy S3.
Well I am liable for a direct exchange via courier anytime I want as long as I only do it once, so I'm waiting until I find the right case and screen protector for me then I'll do the exchange and have a scratch-free phone.
I also have a few small scratches on the screen that were caused by sand when I was on holiday.

After seeing how much Apple are paying for witnesses, I wouldn't be surprised if they pay people to make the GS3 look bad in forums. Or I wouldn't put it past HTC One X fans doing it voluntarily for free.

why am I seeing so many cracked screens on ebay and among friends?
I'm just curious, because I am considering getting a GS3 and I have seen firsthand quite a few with cracked up screens, not quite as bad and the iphone folks, but I don't want to get another phone that is going to break on me without even dropping it.
I was walking out to roll up my windows and went to put my phone, without the case on it, in my shirt pocket and I missed the pocket and there it went.. smacked the concrete landing on I believe the top right corner and mostly the back side.. The back battery cover is all scratched up but no big deal.. I immediately put my otterbox commuter case on it like I should have had on anyways.. now believe it or not, I used it the rest of that day and till about 3pm the next day and I was just scrolling down my Facebook news feed when I felt my phone click.. I started looking at it like whaattt? Well, whataya know? My screen I guess finally gave in and a crack formed across the upper right quarter of the screen. From the LED Indicator to the Power Button.. The Digitiser and LED seem ok though. Just seemed odd to crack like that kind of outta nowhere like it did. Maybe my case caused some pressure on my weakened screen after dropping it and the screen just gave up? I've seen things like that happen before but not like this.

I guess you've all been kinda lucky by now...
I've dropped mine 4 times from my pocket onto concrete and can't count the times I've fell asleep and dropped it out my hand and all I've got is a few scratches on the $4 TPU case.
I'm not sure if anyone else does this, but if you're agile enough, try to get your foot under the phone before it hits the ground to cushion the blow... I know I've saved the phone on quite a few occasions by doing this!
So today I'm in my car waiting for food in a drive through and I dropped my phone. It didn't hit anything really hard that i could tell, but sure enough there's a pressure mark with a spider crack going across the phone. I have a invisishield screen protector and a spigen case on it and yet here my phone is with a cracked screen. I'm a little pissed off about this. Luckily I do have insurance and my deductible is low but still. Phone is less than 2 weeks old and it didn't even take a minor drop in the car.
It's like my s 6 edge+. Wife dropped it waist high in a spigen case and the screen spiderweb cracked. It seems the more they say gorilla is stronger the more easily it seems for it to crack.

Yes don't file a claim. Near impossible to stop claim once started and phone is flagged as unreturnable the moment you claim. I know!!
Long story short, happened to me, I found out about recall few hours after I filed claim with Asurian. A simple please cancel claim is impossible unless you wait to refuse delivered replacement(which obviously aren't in stock to replace nowl On positive note I think Samsung has me.covered but it's a big hassle since my phone is flagged.
Off topic; damn typing sucls.on this note7, serious lag, makes it near impossible. I teied several keyboard.apps and a clean fresh restore. Hoping the next note7 is much better than this super hot, lagging, poor performance broken screen version. My wife's works fine, night and day difference.
