BUY A CASE
Decided i would not have a case on my new Xperia S. Today went to pick the nipper up from nursery, normally have phone in my pocket but today i decided to be smart and hold it in my hand, along with my daughters book bag and coat. Got to the car and opened the boot to put the stuff in and......... well i think a picture says a thousand words!!!!
Wow that sux... I guess a otter box would do it lol

Otter Box is normally the case i would go for but with this phone i wanted to show it off!!
Would be nice if Otterbox made some sort of announcement regarding the new Sonys. Can't imagine what state my current phone would be in without one of their cases on it.

My x10 has fallen 4 times(Yes, I'm ashamed, as I should be) but the only damage is to the screen protector and one tiny mark on the backplate. Am I incredibly lucky or was the x10 a much hardier phone than the S? BTW, I'm 6'1" so its got a fair way to fall, and ikea carparks you'd think wouldnt be forgiving

Ok so my friend has this one DROID and he is always watching shows on it with his little kickstand. Im really jealous cause it takes like a combo of a stapler and a tape pod to get my phone propped up. Is there a case or after market battery panned that has something to keep the phone up at all?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i sure if you google motorola atrix kickstand youll find what your looking for. also you may want to look into cases from other phones that have it and fit the atrix. i too am an atrix owner (only phone) and would like to see that for the phone. as for the answer i havent looked into it and can not say yes or no if there is one specificly for the atrix.

There also appears to be a fairly unimpressive Body Glove case for the ATRIX with a snap-on kickstand
I traded my HD7 for the atrix i have now and it came with a Body glove case with a kickstand, its not the ugly one with a clip though that you see all over the net. cant find it either lol, its actually very nice. the kick stand is built in verticle as well, not horizontal like the other clear one so you can set the phone down either way.
I got this same one...it is great, and cheap to boot!!! Build quality is good (not great)...but for the price it does a good job.

On my second Note now. I exchanged the first one for a crack about an inch or two below the power button. The replacement has now developed a crack right at the power button.
So Samsung can say whatever they want about it not being a known issue - but it is an issue. Knock on wood ... my Note has never been dropped, I don't sit on it, and it's treated like it's a 5" piece of glass (which it is).
I got 3 cracks actually...one right on top of the speaker, one right where the power button is, and one right underneath the home button. Idk if these are really cosmetic flaws by Sammy...cos then again i ten to drop my phone all the time lol...Ofcourse it's always been in its folio leather wallet case so it shouldn't have hurt it that much.

Jesus, you alright hehe? I got the Commuter Series, and dropped it from about 10ft off my Step Ladder at work. I put my phone in a Sandwich Baggy, for added protection from dust as well. But it hit real hard, and the phone was just fine. It collects lint and such from your pocket (Which really drives me crazy) but i bought it for protection. Not for fashion. And it does its job well!!

Glad you and your phone are ok. I just bought the Commuter the other day from Amazon, it should be here this week. I was looking at the thread about the bent phone and I looked at mine and noticed mine had a bit of a bend to it as well. I've been using a TPU case since I got the phone, I figured the Otterbox might add a bit of structural stability to keep it from getting worse. I loved the Commuter on my OG EVO but I never got one for my 3D because I didn't like the design of it. The LTE version looks good and I've seen a lot of good reviews on it so I'm going back to it.

That sounds awful! Except for the part about the case protecting your phone. I had a bike accident when I was 8 where I hit a car and suffered a concussion. I'm pretty sure that was before cell phones were around.
Wow! Forget the phone, lmao. Glad you're ok! I broke my foot about two years ago. You'll appreciate your arm in a whole new light once you're healed. I have the Defender too - great case.
BTW are you going after the driver? Did the police determine they were negligent?
Glad you are still around to post this!
My s3 screen is the perfect size for me feals like a mini tablet only problem is im worried it will break.
Now should i get an otterbox or anouther case to protect it?
I've been rocking with the cruzerlight TPU case for a while now and it does wonders. Doesn't make it too thick, adds grip, and is very protective, check it out

Dont worry man.
Its gorilla glass... wont break so easily.
I already dropped mine a hundred times. It hasnt got even a scratch.
Still, if you want to protect it that much, use a screen protector and put a case around your phone that covers your phone a little from front. This way, even if your phone falls, your screen will not have direct contact with ground and it wont break.
Bump lol.

how bad is it, you can always claim something else is wrong with it. Where did you buy it from?
It's very small. I was able to kind of hide the clear aluminum showing with a black marker. I also just noticed I have 3 dead pixels so maybe that would be enough if they don't really notice the scrapes. I got it from an official AT&T store.

Personally I dropped mine and it got scuffed a little too, so much that it bothered me. I was within 14 when it fell so I took it back and told them that it was to fragile along the edges, got way to hot (130°) which I screenshot and the headphone jack doesn't work well with FM radio and he said no problem and replaced it and that was that. It was fraud on my end, and I paid good money for a phone that I wanted to keep in mint condition. Haven't dropped the second one yet but I have gaps, which isn't too bad. My advise, go for it and it isnt fraud of there is actually a problem with it anyway.

I ended up trading it in and getting a silver one. I was completely straight with the rep and showed him the scratches which he thought was no big deal and were barely even noticeable. I had to point out the scratch locations since he couldn't even see them at first. I showed him the dead pixels and also the power button which had this awful click sound which drove me crazy. I just had to pay a restocking fee and was good to go.
