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 don't see any posts about how sturdy it is so I assumed it was extremely fragile

There are posts in this forum and other site saying cracks on the bezel:-

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.

Jeez, you only got 2 fingers or something lol.
I dropped my phone 5 times already (a few pretty nasty falls) and it is perfect, no scratches. I am pretty sure an iPhone would be destroyed quickly in my hands

I'm extremely clumsy, plus I have an involuntary habit of throwing everything up in the air and catching it (and sometimes not catching it lol), sometimes my mind just drifts off and without realising I start throwing my phone in the air and catching it, which sometimes results in my dropping it

Butter fingers confessional thread?! I've seen it all now!
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.

Lol I do that myself. Normally with the Sky+ remote. And my HTC sensation phone, when I had it.
I thought the phone was just fragile too. Loads of people on here complaining. Don't wanna risk it though.

The sky+ remote is perfect for throwing in the air, its probably a design feature!
Oh and taking the battery cover off and putting it back on again over and over...

Ye me too, the remote is the thing I throw the most I have no idea why I have this habit but my fiancee hates it, mostly because we're on our 3rd remote now due to the other 2 getting broken
When I threw my phone up and didn't catch it, it landed in my lamp and smashed it, me and my fiancee couldn't help but laugh at the fact a so called "fragile" phone smashed a thick porcelain lamp with no damage to the phone

scratch test passing already expected.
drop test was situational, would survive without breakage depending on how it lands.
water drop test was unexpected. was glad it oculd survive.
thanks.
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,
I've dropped my NS4G countless times, and twice into water fully submerged. I freaked out every time, and when it was in water I wiped it dry and checked the battery water-indicator. Nothing, no change, no damage. This phone is a beast when it comes to physical trauma at least for me.
Anyone wanna share their stories? Or maybe horror stories of how easily it broke.
I'd say that was pure luck. My Sony Xperia Play digitizer stopped working after I applied wet screen protector (never going to use those again).
But the Galaxy S and its variants are one of the most durable phones by Samsung, it has gone downhill since. I would not recommending dropping an S3.

I'll keep that in mind my dad just picked up the S3, he's lookin at Otter cases though .
My phone fall from around 1 meter into concrete, the top left corner was the first to hit the ground.. I got some marks on the plastic but that's it. Fortunately nothing major happened, although my heart stopped for a second when I saw it falling xD

I've only dropped my NS4G once. Standing up in the restroom it fell out of my pocket onto the tile floor. No damage, but probably due to the TPU case I was using that day.
However, being in the consumer electronics retail workforce, I can honestly say that I've installed over 200 invisible shields on phones and tablets. Out of those, only one damaged the product. Wouldn't you know it, it was a friend's phone, but it was also about 2 years old at the time and had been dropped, therefore the edges of the screen were no longer sealed. Since she paid for the service the store replaced her phone.

I went swimming with my Nexus S back in July. I was is the water 10-15 minutes before I realized it was in my pocket.
Once I realized my stupidity, I went in and laid my Nexus S on a towel with the cover off and the battery out. I let it bake in the sun for about 4 hours then put it back together. It has worked great ever since.
I was actually a little disappointed. I thought this would be my excuse to get a Galaxy Nexus. Nope, can't find any excuses to get rid of my Nexus S Great phone!

I dropped mine in the toilet XD I was doing number one and was playing music. I was really into the song and didn't wanna pause it and put it in my pocket so I just held it between my shoulder and my cheek but then I dropped it lol. I quickly put my hand in the toilet to get it out, washed it THOROUGHLY and put it in a cup with rice. Everything was fine except for the speaker. 24 hrs later it fixed itself though
Survived a torrential downpour.
Day 1: it charged but didn't indicate it was charging with charger, no USB functionality.
Day 2 indicated it was charging with charger - no USB functionality After 3 days it was fully functional.

had my nexus s 4g drop from... oh Id say 35 feet onto a metal nob. no- it did not survive. But I gotta say the glass is super thick, so thought the screen might have made it, but nope. $190 ebay bucks later and Im back with my NS4G
I dropped my Nexus S a couple of times from jeans pocket height unto rough garage floors. Aside from minor nicks and scratches in the bezel, phone still functions normally.
Oh yeah and I'm disappointed as well for not getting my excuse to get a GNex.

Dropped twice into water
Dropped once and then took it out of water, very scared, and then pulled off the battery. Use a cold hair dryer for 30 minutes to dry it. Turned it on. Some weird functionality. No Speaker phone, no phone speaker phone.
Left the phone hopeless but tomorrow it was ok!
Nexus S is a beast!

#troll? I don't believe this.... drop anything aluminium with a reasonable weight from "neck" high and it will scratch or dent unless of course you are 1 ft 1"... I once dropped my S3 from about 20cm and it scratched too..
No horror stories here so far :victory:...
You should thank the phone gods and show your gratitude by investing a case

Sorry. You don't seem to understand the word troll/trolling.
Look it up on Urban dictionary lol But yes it seems unreal since people are scratching the phones even with care.
I like to see some good news rather than the usual doom and gloom. I was thinking about a case, but i hate cases. I came up with a plan for people in this situation,,,,,,,, carpet. If we all get carpet we wont have to worry about dropping our beautiful phones.
Great to hear your phone survived the fall buddy, i hate that oh sh*t feeling when you see something precious slow mo dropping to the floor
I normally kick my phone before it touches the ground, adding more speed and danger to the possible outcome

Was it the double dip or the double dip flip? I really want the double dip but all I've been hearing is stories about the case scratching the phone when you take it on and off....I switch phones almost every day, and I've heard it's a pretty tight fit and you can hear the case "grinding" the phone. Wish they would have put some "velvet" or something on the inside to pad the phone

I can totally believe this. I have had this phone for almost 3 months now and was probably amongst the first 20 people in the world to own it. As I am clumsy, I dropped the phone from my jackets top pocket (so slightly above chest height) straight onto hard wood floor and it made a horrific sound. Had the phone for a few hours and was in shock, picked it up and to my absolute surprise it was perfect, nothing, not even a single scratch or dent.

Thought it'd be wise to put a rubber cover on, if not to protect the camera lens a bit, the next day my boss knocks the phone outa my hand, slamming on the concrete floor.
Just had a little rebound.

I did it, I confess. I've cracked my rear glass panel on my Z.
I was taking a picture out of my bedroom window of the sunset the other night, I have these door style windows that open on hinges sideways, well, it suddenly blew shut and dropped the phone.
It bounced down the sloping bit of roof, hit the patio and bounced around 4ft high before planting itself into the bird feeder at high speed.
All I can say is my heart literally stopped. I expected nothing left of it. BUT the screen isn't even scratched, theres barely a mark on the body and the crack on the back is about 5 or 6mm long running around the corner on the bottom left.
Sony, I love you.

He would disagree but the amount of times he says 'against the Samsung--' goes to show... Although he has made fun of the Samsung before, at least.
I think he was surprised by the Beer Boot Test, going on to recommend it.
My friend has dropped his a couple of times onto a thin carpet (sitting on tiles) and it hasn't cracked, but he did get a rubberized case for it.
Dropped mine on ceramic tiles, a thin mat on ceramic tiles and onto ceramic tiles bouncing out the door onto concrete steps...No scratches on the glass or the side strips...the housing on the other hand a few chips and scratches at 2 of the corners...nothing to complain about.
Dropped it twice from a pretty high table. No cracks, no scratches nothing. Sony is incredible in manufacturing their devices, but their software is still wacky.

The loss of the sony logo is OK looks better... I tried SPG glas-t and after i cut myself with it i removed... now i have Screen Knight film. Don't want to make advert but is good, feels a bit rubbery and flexible. It gives a good protection due its flexibility. Top of that is adds a bit of thickness to the back so your phone no longer sits on its edges rather sits on its back. LESS SLIPPY :victory:
PS: when i repaired my losing back panel i already had it on, and i put the sucker cup on the protector, i thought is going to come off anyway.... IT DIDN'T Is not coming off easy for sure...

Well u hear good and bad stories. I for ones saw with my on eyes that this phone can be dropped from high and hit on tables and stuff like they did directly at the sony center but then also heard reports that the screen broke easy when just touched with a fingernail right by the earpiece. So yeah. I never dropped my phones so I don't know how it performs.

Dropped my baby waist high at the end of my workout and bam screen cracked. My first cracked screen!
Anyways, when I first got this phone I thought "Hey it feels pretty fragile, but it probably is sturdier than it feels... nope. It fell on thin carpet floors with my earphone Jack still in place. Funny thing is.... It fell on the earphone jack creating a small focus area of impact which lead to the crack. I believe it hit it hard enough that it bent it from the inside out breaking the digitizer and cracking the screen. Screen isn't bad but touch doesn't work anymore. More details. It has the spigen case on it with the spigen screen protector. .. But even with that case... it was able to land on the area where it is weakest.
Enough of my rant, just be careful of this phone fellas. Shatter proof film, but not crack proof. Going to insurance claim it on Monday.

I've dropped mine from about knee height and mine survived. No case. It slipped out of my pocket when I went to sit down.
I have a technique to hold my phone from the three sides that gravity affects the most for the phone... I noticed everyone holds it from the side but never the bottom, the place most prone that'll make the phone drop out - and down - onto the floor...

For anyone who drops their phone a lot, remember there's a lanyard on the corner. Finger lanyards even exist now days, but I've got mine strapped to my jeans so if it drops it doesn't hit the ground!

Yeah, unfortunate and bad timing. Just finished my workout. About to head to the locker. Whipped my phone out. I think I was swyping... then I put my hand down. Not knowing it caught on to the earphone wires. Bam slung the phone down. Sucks but **** happens.
And yes guys, I know phones aren't suppose to be dropped. Captain obvious. What I mostly find fragile was the digitizer breaking and how the glass was easily pressed upon when touching it. Just a little rant and notice that when the glass breaks... it's really fragile, unlike some of the other phones I messed around with that has cracked screens (besides iPhones) where if it breaks, you can still use the phone without any notice of the glass moving. Oh wells! Waiting on the replacement

I have a handstrap, so not only can I hold the phone easily, if I'm holding it above my face while on the bed it can't ninja through my fingers and smack me in the face. No case needed, used to have one but I took it off, it's solid as it when naked.

You must be a superhero or a god or something, us human being make mistake sometimes, I don't know nobody on earth that never had a mobile falling from the pocket / bed/ hands / etc. It happens everyday even to the most careful people like me.
I said drop but I should say fall instead if it makes any difference. English not my native tongue.
