I dropped it and the side dented what should i do?? im so sad right now
Out of curiosity what kind of case do you have, and where exactly is it bent?
Wipe off your hands when you get done spanking it. It will help you keep a grip on the phone.
Ouch man....as far as what you should do..I vote you go stand in the corner for a few hours because you dont appreciate nice things jk lol. Sucks though.....

Isn't much you can do except contact CS and say the sprint store dropped it and put a dent in it. Then say you didn't notice it till now, see what they say.

Trying to get a perfectly innocent employee in trouble for his mistake? Besides I'm still waiting to hear what case it was in.
I'll put money on no case at all.
Sorry to hear about your phone man, I can only imagine what you feel like right now.
Buy the insurance or live with the consequences.

Go to Best Buy, get an Otterbox Defender case and, never take it off. That way you won't have to see that eyesore of a dent everyday.

when siedio makes that rugged case like i used for the evo 4G, you can drop the phone from about 2 stories with no worries

I say let your EVO rock it out as a battle scar! It will make other phones piss themselves, such as the iPhone! Haha

Just get it swapped out for another one. Guess it depends on where you purchased it, but I would go in..maybe towards the end of the day, or at a busy period, try to find the most chill looking employee who won't put your phone through a 160 point inspection, smile and hope they do not notice.
If that fails, and if it bothers you that much, add on the insurance.

Well it was short lived. I got my EVO on lanch date and this after noon the unthinkable happened . I was showing my friend a picture and she fumbled the phone, droped on a concreteflor face down. We just looked at it for a couple of seconds in disbelief. I wjent to pick it up and it looked like this.

I dropped my 3vo on day 2 onto my concrete patio, it was about a 4 foot drop. Thankfully I had my hard rubberized case on it and not a scratch was made, not even to the case!
I've dropped mine, but luckily it was only a 2 ft drop or so and landed flat on it's back. I was pissed. First time I've dropped my phone in about 2 years, and it happens just a couple days after I get my 3D.
usually happens when we try to be the most careful
Dropped my evo from 80 feet up a tower. I was trying to avoid it getting wet.

Ouch!!! Don't feel too bad. I dropped my launch day Evo 4G at work barely a week after having it & it looked just like that! Luckily your getting it replaced so quickly. Took me almost a month to get a replacement. They were sold out everywhere & Assurion couldn't keep them in stock. I did get a brand new one though, with all the accessories. Then 2 weeks before the 3D came out I dropped that one 4 floors down the elevator shaft at work. It's still there submerged in about a 1 1/2 ft of water & hydraulic oil. Lost phone, one of my 3500 Seidio batteries, extended case & my 32GB class 10. Talk about hurt! I still get tears thinking about it.

I have had Zagg screen covers before, I have a Zagg screen cover on my 3D. I honestly hate it. Its so tacky and my finger dosnt slide on it at all compared to the screen itself. Unfortunately my wife paid $30 to get it installed on my phone as a surprise so I am going to keep it for now. I had bad experiences with Zagg on my milestone so I am going to stay away.

Zagg has the absolute First feel of any screen protector!!! If that was the only one available, i wouldn't use one. With that said though, Zagg is freaking impossible to scratch. Guess it's a trade-off, but not for me. I am using a Otterbox that came with one of my cases and the feel is great, just like touching the screen. But... it is finally showing signs of light scratching on it after a month of use. I may try the phantom skinz myself

Just gonna have to break down an tell her bro. I know is tough because you don't want to hurt her feelings. So try to come up with a clever excuse. Or just tell her there is this new company that everyone is using and loves and that you don't want to feel left out, lol.
Oh, and surprise her with some flowers right before telling her about it
Or.... if she doesn't really know anything about it, then just swap them out in the bathroom after showering one night an she'll never know. 6 months from now you can tell her how great it is and thank her again for buying it for you. Lol

Its aight, I think I like it better than my EVO 3d, we just need some ASOP then it'll be perfect. It is a sexy phone I'll give it that.
ive got another pro for you well its a pro fro me...
i was wondering why the corners are at the 45 degree cuts, then i held an evo again today and i thought to myself "why in the heck is the phones corner jabbin into my palm?!"
when you hold a photon, the slanted corners allow more surface contact to the palm of your hand, so its more comfortable and easier to hold. it all adds up now in my mind lol
If you want real joy to hold get the Otterbox defender. Although a little bit of a lint magnet, the soft gel exterior is supremely comfortable as well as super protective.

I don't have the creak at all, I find that the back plate is very, very firm and much quieter than the Evo I used to have as well as the 3d. I do however have the Otterbox Commuter case and it is simply amazing! The defender is way to bulky and really is only needed for construction workers and the like. But if you so desire big and bulky, it is perfect for you ;-) . The commuter with an Invisibleshield is perfect for me.

Update just in case you want to ask for this. Just got off the phone with a Motorola rep and told her about the creaky battery door issue and asked her if they could send me a replacement door because I didn't want to exchange my whole phone for that and she said no problem. She said since im still in my first year of warranty there would be no charge and no questions asked per se. She recorded my serial number and verified my address and said fed ex should have it to me in a few days. One more thing I could understand every word she said no outsourced phone center here. Great customer service!

Wasn't the same as my last Motorola experience, I had to jump ship from t-mobile because moto briqed my cliq, moto blamed t-mobile and t-mobile blamed moto insurance wouldn't replace,,and I was left without a phone. I hope this time around I wont have to deal.with that again. Im sure Sprint will take care of me.
Maybe since Google bought them out customer service will hopefully improve maybe? Just a thought.

But I do like almost everything about the Otterbox Defender for 3D. I just wish the sides didn't go so high, makes it hard to touch the edges of the screen.

I also have the Defender and I'm very happy with it!! Bought it at Best Buy for $50 the day I bought my 3D( few days after launch). I have not had any issues with it except the silicone stretching just a little bit. I know Otterbox will send me a new complete case I just don't think its bad enough yet to justify that. I imagine that because the case is put on and taken off 5 days a week that it has caused the stretching prematurely. If you leave the case on for a long time like I'm sure many do then it probably doesn't become an issue for quite a long time if ever at all....

I have done my research on both the products, but one thing i didnt notice mentioned alot is if you drop the phone a lot. I tend to get bumped into a lot while holding my phone in my hand and i always end up with a spider cracked screen. happened on my palm pre, and evo shift a couple of times. but when i get this phone i want to get a good case but not mega bulky. if i was to have the commuter and i dropped it, would it be ok still or would the defender be a better choice?
but i heard the commuter has a crappy silicon part on the top, is that something to worry about?
plus i never usually buy cases for phones so this will be the first time buying a case for a phone.
sry for another otterbox post.
Ive had both. I broke two commuters before moving to a defender. Dropped, kicked, and thrown and not single scratch. Highly recommend
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using Tapatalk
I have a Commuter that I'm happy with, but I'm not prone to dropping.
The Commuter is a 'nicer' case that provides protection against average manhandling while the Defender is an indestructible brick and better for high-risk users.
ok thank you guys, that helps I did hear that a skydiver had the defender one day and drop it at he jumped out of the plain (not on purpous, was an accident), but when he landed he went to find his phone thanks to gps finder on it, landed on in a grassy patch only thing happened was spider cracked the screen but he could still make calls with it. i was impressed by the story i almost dont believe it lol.
