I have some very minor chipping on mine on the side of my Razr Maxx, but the screen and overall structure is still fine despite repeated drops. Great build quality.
I bought the Otterbox Commuter case after a couple drops and have dropped it many, many times since then (falls out of my pockets a good bit), everything has been rock solid so far. Knock on wood.
My phone has smooth done some spiderman moves and has landed crack free every time.

Im a land surveyor, i was in the woods putting wooden stakes in the ground at the center line of a future road and a cat d6t (really big bulldozer) was knocking down trees for us. I dropped my phone near the center line, the d6 ran it over, it didn't suffer a scratch. It did have a cheap rubber case on it and the ground wasn't hard ...but still

You won't know how to replace it your self, plus - the razr is one of the hardest phones when it comes to a full dismantle if you've cracked the LCD. I would say, send it to motorola

One of the hardest? It's actually really easy but you lose the water proof. The screen and digitizer is one piece making it a very easy replacement.
Try replacing a digitizer only on a nexus one or hd2 compared to them the razr is child's play

If you want to keep it water proof and make sure it has gorilla glass send it to Motorola. If you try fixing it yourself, and something else gets broken, you've voided your warranty.
I sent a RAZR MAXX to Motorola to have a broken screen replaced. They "misplaced" the phone and couldn't find it. So they waived the repair cost. ($179) I did finally get my phone back, fixed. 11 days after they received it, good as new warranty intact.
Compared to a any other 4.3 device..i would say this is the hardest
Just wanna say the phone is not water proof its water resistant at best.

My wife and I both have razrs and today hers ended up dropping into the toilet after she have finished. She pulled it out and proceeded to wash it off in the sink. Of course she would since she had just taken a leak. So once she notices that it's still working she decides to tell me about it. I took it out of its holster and got more water out then removed the same and sim and blew out even more water. After making sure I had gotten all the water out that I could without splitting the case I put it all back together and all seems well. I guess they really are water resistant.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Water resistant = Being splashed with water / can withstand being in the rain for a while
Being fully submerged in the toilet and then WASHED under a running tap is not what a phone is designed phone.
It's advertised as water resistant, not water proof.
It's not waterproof, but lucky.

Extremely lucky. We have the extended warranty but it's $100 deductible if I recall. And toilet drops are covered.
Still nice to know that they are very good at being water resistant.
And hey, my wife leaks but the phone doesn't.

Your phone will work for approximately 2-3 months and then possibly will stop working due to corrosion. Swap up the phone if you can asap.

Ugh fell from couch to carpet and shattered. Heard of this happening a lot. I'm pretty sure phones insured (assurian like 6 Buck amonth?)
Either way....pretty dissapointed that a 600 device is this weak....
Can I talk Verizon into swapping for a dif phone. I like maxx but this build quality is crap. I've dropped other phones and no scratch....
Is it even worth trading for a gnex (assume that's all I'd b able to get)? Any shot of a s3 if I throw like 150 at em?
Thanks guys
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
That's some bad luck dude!! I dropped mine twice in the past two days and not a scratch. Plus it fell on a hard hospital floor. Do you have a case on it? Either that or that's one hard carpet, I would replace that before you get another 600 dollar device!! That's a huge bummer though. Unfortunately I don't think the carrier is into wheeling and dealing so you may have to get what you get or buy another phone on Craigs list or Ebay.

mine fell off my lap out of an SUV onto my foot which was in motion and accidentally kicked it onto pavement then it skittered 15 feet on it's face underneath another parked car. Zero damage, but in a dual layer"case-mate" case, and with screen protector on also. 30 bucks for the case+protector well spent.
I had the same thing happen to my og razr, i replaced it with the maxx, I think the og razr is to rigid and tends to make the screen more vulnerable to breaking. The maxx has a bit more weight behind the screen. My maxx was run over by a d9 bulldozer (i was ungodly lucky that the ground was soft, and the teeth of the track missed it) with out a scratch, only issue I've noticed is that the magnetic field sensor is stuck which sucks because I'm a land surveyor and a compass on my phone would be very useful.

I'm going to wait until a video tutorial pops up, where I can watch someone perform the action to their device, before I try it on mine. I hate the VZW logo on the button as much as the next person, but I'm not going to risk having a screwed up button over removing the logo.

Actually, this is the method I have been hearing for a month. You are supposed to tape around the logo and then mix water and sugar until it is pasty. Then you rub the logo off. The sugar acts as sand paper and grinds the logo off.
Now, my experience with hydrochloric acid definitely says for you to not use 8 oz overnight...

Yeah I'm wonder about this too. Trying to decide between the DNA and this, and that logo is killing me. I haven't played with either phone yet, but from all the videos/pictures I've seen, the logo is pretty stand out-ish. Yeah the DNA is pretty much Verizon color schemed, but in all honesty, flat black and red looks amazing.
Verizon seriously has some idiots working for them. Whoever thought it was a good idea needs a swift kick in the ass.

Some software problems, drops with broken screens. Was planning on getting the DNA on my upgrade in a couple months. My TB will be antique, 2 years old in April and I have a zag screen cover Sence day one and only a silicone cover with the back cut out for extended battery. Have dropped it more times than I can remember. No dents, chips or broken screen. So the DNA is really that fragile? Some problems I expected hopefully less than TB, but broken screens that easy with gorilla glass is starting to scare me. Should I really be concerned about this or is the DNAs performance that good to overlook the easy screen breaks. Some advice please. Thanks.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
The screen doesn't break easily, but its glass. Its harder to break than the tb. But A lot of people run their DNA with no case, and if you drop it and the glass hits something solid there's a good chancecof it breaking.

I don't know how many DNA's have been sold, but my guess is quite a few. You saw literally a few post about people who DROPPED their phone most likely without any kind of case, and that's enough you persuade you? This is one of, if not the best phone money can buy right now, you wont regret buying it.
Dropped 20+ times with screen protector and stepped on minor scratches only .. now if u face palm a phone from getting out the car etc most will take a ding or even crack. The DNA to me was togher than I thought it would screen included ..

Pretty much this.
This is a great phone, arguably the best device on the market right now. Get a protector, that way you can drop your device at leisure.
Just wait a few months until the new line of phones come out... This is the best phone out now..
Sent from my HTC DROID DNA.
I would guess the DNA is only marginally more vulnerable than the TB. The glass on the DNA covers all the front and a little of the sides. That means if you drop it on the side it could crack, unlike the TB.
If you drop both flat on the glass screen then probably both shatter equally.
They need to come out with those flexible screens soon!

My DNA has lived through:
1. Being dropped flat on the screen from a standing height
2. Sitting in the passenger seat with no cover/holder/case during a car crash that totaled my car
3. Being dropped in the parking lot from me forgetting it was in my lap when I got out of the car
The first 2 had literally no effect on it; the 3rd case a scratch on the side.. but the screen is still perfectly fine. So.. call me lucky, but I'm pretty impressed with the DNA's durability.
Exactly why I went with the DNA. This phone has display technology that other companies are scrambling to replicate with their respective display manufacturers. Soon there will be tons of apps and game that will require 1080p resolution to run properly.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. After having a TB I don't believe newer HTC products could handle the bad rap and still leave HTC in the competition. I am impressed with all the comments on the 1080 screen and to run JB out of the box has to be worth it, as my Moto Zoom wifi has been running JB for a while, and I love it. I'm glad to know that I don't have to bubble wrap it now. I'm not crazy about full cover cases but will definitely find something to protect the edges of the glass. I'm sure there may be something out soon that will help. Everyone seems impressed with how it runs, looks and fits to hold. PS I played with the Samsung s3 in the Verizon store felt like a cheap plastic toy that would break if held to tight. Lol wasn't impressed left with my clunky heavy extended battery TB. Will be spoiled to not have a phone with an extended battery along with carrying the charger to. Lol. Thanks again for the good feedback. Will be hard to wait for my tax refund

Yes. Yes it is.
Only dropped it twice from knee height. But it was in an OB case due to the type of job I have... And the tendency of dropping my phone often.
Side note (somewhat off topic) - dropped my DX quite literally over 100 times with no screen protector or case, only came out with little knicks all around the metal and no screen dmg. Amazing
