So I was at the We Were Promised Jetpacks show in Boston this week. It was in a small cub, no seats just open standing room. Well the show was AWESOME and as they say in the UK It gets pretty “lively”. So I was right up by the stage and was jumping up and down and my Razr Maxx flew out of my hoddie pocket and went sliding across the floor, it ended up like 12 feet behind me on the floor. I think it might have gotten kicked too. So the girls behind me were able to get it for me.
Not a single scratch!! I cannot even tell which part hit the floor; there is not a single mark of any kind!! Pretty darned impressive if you ask me!
Cheers.
Really, I Have heard a lot of posts complaining about how fragile is the Razr, I'm a basketball coach and I choose this phone because of its toughness, your comment makes me feel happy.

This thing is a tank, I have dropped it numerously on concrete getting out of my car, no scratches. I went snowboarding one time and i was jamming to music, I finished my bindings and when I got going I forgot to zip the pocket my phone was in. It flew out and slid 10 ft through the snow and was completely buried. I picked it up, it was still playing and just kept going. No problems.
Knocked mine off my desk not even 3 feet and dented the bezel around the screen. Went and bought an otter box commuter series awesowe!!!

No I use no case of any kind. I have never used a case on any of my phones. I can't stand them.
I don't use any case on any of my phones. And I am a really bad user.
I dropped my razr numerous times, including from a moving car. I got some minor scratches on the edges and on the cheap acrylic camera cover, but the display is 100% clean.
My iPhone 4 screen broke entirely because it fell 2 feet.
And I had a SGS2 screen to die (stay off at all times, not phisically breaking) because it fell 2 feet also.
The old razr are the most resistant devices on the planet. I never seen one break.
If there is one thing that moto is good at is the mechanical design of their products.
mines in for repair at the moment. bent down to pick something up and it twisted in my pocket shattering the touch screen.
im not complaining, i've dropped it, sat on it and even thrown it and it's been great. it dosen't like been twisted, guess most phone don't.
im stuck with a crappy iphone till they fix it. i love my razr.

Sounds good. I've had a few drops, no case and no problems yet. I dislike cases as well. It has to do with how it lands tho, as has been noted many times from those users who had very short drops and ended up with shattered screens.
I commute via Ducati and have a lot of trouble obeying speed limits. I'm working on that.
I hit a pot hole while avoiding a chicken-brained driver cutting a curve into my lane. My phone popped out of its Ram Mount and slid (about 50MPH) under the oncoming car, across the road, and into a rock-lined ditch. With an inch of water in it.
(It never dawned on me until later that the music it was feeding to my helmet via bluetooth never stopped playing)
I turned around (still cussing), searched a bit, grabbed the phone, and wiped it off on my jeans. The $7 genuine plastic sleeve has a 2mm rubbed spot at the corner. That's all.
Yep, that's pure luck, but the GNex I traded for this Razr Maxx would have sprayed parts over a quarter mile.

Was getting out of the car today and had my phone sitting in my lap and it fell to the ground and landed on the bottom left corner and proceeded to tumble across the parking lot all the while managing to dodge some puddle of who knows what. I picked it up and to my amazement just a scratch on the outer corner no cracked screen. I am amazed at how sturdy this phone seems to be. That fall would have shattered my old iPhones screen. I love this freaking phone!

Yup, most of the drops that I've had are just minor nicks on the corner but thats about it! I can't even take a picture of it because you don't notice it until you get really close to it...
I would assume it has to do with the fact that the phone is so light

I had that case. It's alright... The rubber bumpers started wearing off from rubbing my jeans. Since then I've switched to the otterbox and never looked back.
Honestly I only ever used the kickstand once - when playing with the new case for the first time.

Mine fell about 5 feet onto a tile floor day after I put my Taurus bumper on. Not a scratch on the phone or bumper.
When I first got my i777, I was so scared to even touch it, it was my first nice phone other than a Palm Pre, but this is a super phone. Saw very little use until screen protector and case arrived.
It's my baby.
I did something similar fell onto parking lot bounced and hit the under carriage of my car then back to the ground again. No case or screen protector or anything. Lucky and the phone is indeed durable. It got a few scratches along the outer edges and corners but everything still works and the screen still looks great. Almost couldn't believe the screen didn't crack

Mine dropped while I was trying to put it in my pocket, the corner hit the ground then the screen. I expected the screen would have a lot of scratch but when I picked it up, the outer edge corner damaged and the screen have a very little scratch near the Samsung Logo. Never thought it only has those damage while my old captivate scratch by putting it with a business card in my pocket. I sold my S2 to my brother for 300 and get the international one but still miss the ATT S2. It was the best phone I've ever had, It has nothing that I could complain about. Will get another one next week because the International never gave me the same experience the ATT version did.
I will use my phone without a case. This thing has passed the thoughness test. It has fallen so many times I lost count.
It has a few scratches but the screen is in perfect condition even though it has fallen screen first a few times

Phone went Swimming and Lived
While working on the side of the road, I dropped my Maxx into a water filled ditch without knowing it. I returned to the site 30 minutes later to find the phone face down on the bottom of the ditch. I pulled it out and much to my surprise my default notification sound chimed. When I got back to my apartment, I put the device (still powered on, screen working) in rice for a few hours and pulled it out and went to work with my fully working phone! I was severely surprise it worked near perfectly after the swim.
Now, a week later, I have concluded that the battery life is drastically reduced and that my power button does not function each individual time it is pressed. Insurance claim is in the works....but still, that's a pretty awesome story to tell about the phone surviving the plunge!
@jerseyff bummer, but good to know.

I get the case for looks and better grip. I was never a fan of super thin phones, too difficult to hold.
All I have to say is I got the phone a few days ago and all I was doign with it was loading backup from the couch. I may have put it in the pocket of my khaki's once but the pocket was empty. The next day I noticed there was a small hairline scratch right in the middle of the screen. Its barely noticeable but for someone like me its like nails on a chalkboard every time I look at my phone. Now I have to get a screen protector just to hide it.
I have zero faith in garilla glass's ability to prevent scratches on LCD screens. I can't for the life of me figure out what possibly have come in contact with the screen in order to cause the scratch. The link balls in my pocket must have some real teeth.
I got out of my car ,phone on lap forgot it was there(n00b mistake) boom on concrete longest 5 seconds of my life lol and I pick it up just a chip no case or anything I was really impressed it fell on the corner no other damage

Yea I was super careful the first couple of months with the rezound(no drops). Now its been dropped a few times maybe only once on concrete. It's a pretty durable phone when it's in a CASE. I've had a case since day one. I know u might not like the feel but you'll get used to it

It was a nasty rainy day when he picked it up. On the way back to work, he received a call (he had had the phone maybe 10 minutes).
He answered the call & layed the phone in his lap. When he pulled into work, he totally forgot the phone was in his lap & got out. The phone fell into a large puddle & he stepped on it smashing the screen all in one motion.

I also dropped it out of my lap when getting.out of my car. This must be very common. Mine has a small chip in on corner, about 2mm. Oh well, I refuse to use a case.
Rezound, rooted, loving it.
Don't your cars have cup-holders? I keep my phone there at all times.
What I have a bad habit of doing, is at night when I'm chillin on the couch I'll have my phone sitting on my lap on top of the blanket that is covering me. Then when get up to go to bed I'll forget about it and yank the blanket off. Usually the phone just falls on to the carpet, no big deal. On my old Incredible, I did this and it flew up in the air and flipped a bunch of times and landed flat on it's back on my padded ottoman/coffee table. My CM7 lockscreen came on when it landed. My wife looked at me and said "That was pretty good, now do it again". Lol
first day i had my rezound, i dropped it off the counter at my store..so like a 4 foot drop lol..landed on hardwood floor..but was fine. i was so mad at myself i just screamed the F bomb as it fell hahaha

This exact same story happened to me before too! You just need to replace the word "phone" with "pipe", and then replace "received a call" with "smoked bowl". =P
LOL
this thread has inspired me to get a case. my inc2 was cheap enough to just buy another in the off chance that something terrible happened, but not this puppy. besides, it's already massive. what's another couple millimeters on each side, right?

I strongly recommend the OtterBox case for whatever phone you have. I have one for this, my fascinate, the droid 2 i gave my mother-in-law. Besides the extended battery for long trips and when I wanna use the **** outta my phone, the defender was the best thing I got for it. Two days after I got the case I dropped my phone on concrete and kicked it while at work and watched it bounce across the room, woulda been dead without the case.
If it falls out of my truck, it's easily a 4' drop. I'm careful with my phones, never had a major drop with my Incredible, but Otterbox Commuter arriving tomorrow just to be on the safe side.

I dropped my phone on the concrete sidewalk. While walking/listening to some music my hand caught the headphone wire and pulled my phone out of my jacket side pocket dropping it onto the ground Luckily I had an Incipio case and it fell on a corner. The case corner cracked and saved my phone
I hated cases too but after that incident I will always get a case for my phone.

No need to be sorry to me, just make sure your phone is as safe as your penis then... I'm not the one who'd have to buy a new phone if **** happened to it.
Short story is that I forgot I left my RAZR sitting on the roof of my car. After making my first turn, my phone slid from the roof of my car into the street. I realized it as soon as it happened and pulled my car over to the side of the road.
After running down the street trying to locate it, I spotted it laying face down on the far left/ middle lane divider. As I approached it I noticed traffic coming and backed off a bit hoping that no cars would switch lanes trying to avoid me.
My worst thoughts became reality when a red sedan ran my baby over. Both driver side tires made contact with the phone, making it pop up 3 feet into the air smacking back down onto the pavement.
I am happy to say that I am using the same phone to send this post. I screen is flawless and there are no marks on the phone what so ever. I had an invisible shield screen protector and a cheap plastic case on it. Motorola has made me a believer in their build quality, assuring them another of my purchases in the future.

I agree. But I also believe that some amount of effort is involved in luck. Motorola has crafted one sturdy little sucker. Me and my wife are still amazed that the phone is showing no ill effects. The only thing that happened was a one time reset after I picked it up off the pavement.

I love Motorola because of their quality. I know software updates are late and bad, but I realised making calls and having a great quality device is more important than ICS.
Meanwhile I dropped my first RAZR on the dance floor and someone stepped on it and it broke.

How on Earth did you leave your phone on the hood of your car? Why was it there in the first place? Do you not have pockets? A purse? The inside of a car to put it in? Put it in a cupholder if you need somewhere to drop it.
I've never understood people that put things on top of their car. I'd never put something that could potentially scratch patch on top of a $30k-$150k+ investment. I also don't understand how people can eat in their cars though...so maybe I'm not the one to comment.

Not everyone is like you Mr.Perfect. I put my DROID charge and nexus s on top of the trunk lid of my second car and I was washing the first one. My brother decided to move my second car and get something from the garage. He was backing up and pressed the brakes hard. I heard like something fell on the ground and remembered that I had phones there. I wanted to get angry but it was no ones fault. I did not know that he would be moving the car and he did not know that I put the phones there. Luckily only couple dings and screens are in one piece.

30-150k dollar investment how ****ing rich are you the car I'm driving right now I paid 3800 dollars for, last one I paid 2500 dollars for, hell the most I've spent on a car in 11 years was 7k dollars.
To the OP my sister has 4 girls ages 1.5-11 so I get the part about the scatter brain but if you know you got to deal with kids why wasn't your phone in your pocket to begin with?
Stuff happens I had an archos 5 take a couple falls (all where slip out of hand or snagged headphones pulled off of counter) the one that finally claimed the 5 was a face first dive into the gravel driveway, and 2 days after I got my samsung galaxy player 4.0 it slipped out of my hand and went face first on the tile floor at walmart (no damage)
Yeah your really lucky i was really mad the first time my razr fell. i missed my pocket about 3 foot from the sidewalk and just completely shattered the screen, my htc evo was on another level durability wise compared to my razr.

I'm on my 2nd RAZR (CDMA). I ended up upgrading to a MAXX Limited Edition I found on eBay.
In my 5 months with this phone it has been dropped over 20+ times. 3 of which were directly on concrete parking surfaces. I've slammed it in my car door really hard 2 times not to mention the myriads of spills and splashes. It still runs like the day I bought it. Aside from a little knick here and there on the actual phone case it's still in like new condition.
Also, I do NOT use a screen protector. Personal preference.

Actually its morphed into a navigation system that Bluetooth syncs to my car for streaming radio and provides internet to my work Laptop. All while driving and not needing to be charged all day. Forgot to mention it also places and receives phone calls. Its not what i expected when i bought it, thought i had just bought a phone.

dropped it multiple times from 3ft+, but only once or twice (or thrice?) on hard surface such as ceramic floors or concrete. the rest is either carpet or wood.
zero protection.
zero scratch on screen. corners of the plastic bezel (wherever its angled) however, start to show some gradation... its like a bit smudge. oh, and the Motorola metal strip on front top? some scratches there.
other than that, screen and back is rock solid.
I dropped mine once on carpet from chair height. No scratches. No protection but overly careful.
SHVR MAXX
Mine has some light scratches on the screen. They are only visible when it's off and I hold it at the right angle, but I thought it should be more scratch resistant. I'm pretty careful with the screen.
The back plastic has some scuffs where it rests on my desk, but nothing else.
