I swear the black plastic on the bottom back of the phone is engineered to get "scuffed" the first time you set it down . Other than that I have some lint in the little gap between the screen and the metal rim around the front.
I'm not going to use cases or screen protectors so all of this can be expected, just wondering how everyone else's is holding up? Any drops yet?

Wow, then I'm guessing we should all come back to this post in a month because you're proably our best durablity test example.
I HIGHLY recoomend a silicon case; protects the phone greatly, and makes it more sturdy to hold!
I got a complete package when I bought my GS2 for 5 euro.. A white and black silicon case, car charger and screen protector. Even though it isnt beautiful, I always keep my GS2 protected by a case
holding out for invisible shield now...
Absolutely fine for me, no marks whatsoever, no slow down of the software.
Have got a little dust around the edges between the edge and the screen.
i never use cases or screen protectors wether in mint or sh*t condition after 1 year who cares its time to upgrade.
sold my SGS after one year for AUD$350 and i never used a case or anything. (hopping to do the same next year with my SGS ii
Don't have any scratches or scuffs on it yet, but that's pure luck...I've managed to drop it twice and both times it landed on something soft. I love the phone but holding it can be a little awkward at times, it's angular shape and width does mean that I often have to shift my hands to accommodate it.
For that reason, I've put on a screen protector and I'm now waiting for an SGP Ultra Capsule Case to arrive. I'm hoping that will make it a bit more 'grippy' and less likely to slip out of my hands. My biggest concern is the camera lens, it seems terribly exposed there on the back of the device and it feels like I could damage it just by putting it down a bit too strongly.
Dropped mine 12 days ago. A juggle managed to launch it to a height of 5ft and then it landed totally flat screen down onto concrete with small stones on it. Shattered glass and non-working LCD.
Still waiting for Samsung to supply a replacement.

.... .. my condolences. Something like that is the only reason I sometimes fantasize about getting a case.
The dust between the screen, how do we get it out? wet qtip?
I got 1 tiny scratch on the bezel around the headphone jack. It happen the second day I had the phone. I've lost hope in the couple screen protectors I've ordered. I just ordered a zagg full body protector. I've got an a official samsung case coming now.
But I have never heavily damaged a phone besides my hd2. I'm like 48 out of 50 in keeping phones in great condition while not using a consistent case.
I truly hate the silver cheap bezel on all phones. Usually the only thing I tend to scratch.

Mine has a slightly weird hardware quirk since I first got it - the chrome border around the glass is slightly raised above the glass on right, but slightly below the glass on the left. It's like the glass is a bit angled / tilted up on the left.
Anyone else have this?
Nope mine is fine.
No scratches, have been using it for a month. I always put it on a cloth on my desk when I'm at home.
The dust between the glass and the plastic border annoys the **** out of me. I try to scrape it out with a needle, but they're too thick.

To remove the dust between the screen and the border all you need is compressed air. I was trying to get it out tonight by using my fingernail through a microfiber cloth to no effect. I pulled out my compressed air and that got it all out instantly.
On another note, I'm using the official Galaxy S II case until my Invisible Shield arrives in the next couple of days, hoping to convert totally to that and not have to use a case.
Can't you remove the dust in there with a can of compressed air and one of those straw attachments? Actually I might go out and buy one.
I definitely agree with the raised bottom on the back of the phone; mine's scuffed quite heavily although the front of the phone is fine, and IMO that's all that matters. A phone's meant to be used and it'll get scratches and whatnot over time.
I've got a feeling i'll be replacing this further down the track anyway since most of my phones don't look too healthy after the 18 month mark. Also have full insurance/warranty cover...if I happen to lose it they'll issue me a new one. Gotta love Korean telcos.

Hi All,
A tale of warning/caution...
Last night my Razr Maxx fell off of my lap and onto the wooden floor. Literally a fall of less than 2 feet. Even though I have a case on it, the screen cracked all the way down the middle.
This seems awfully fragile for "gorilla" glass. Anyone else with an issue? Manufacturer defect?
I'm right there with you...~2 foot drop, happened a few months ago.

There are many, many complaints of this. Not unusual story at all.
Gorilla glass is still glass. When impact comes from the side or corner, it will still break. This is why some of us drop the phone and it's ok, because it depends on the angle where it's dropped.
For those who paid attention in school, you know that when things are hard, they are brittle.
Gorilla Glass is great the problem is because of the increased strength the manufacturers feel they can use thinner glass and end up making it to thin.
Also thats not much of a case, is it soft or hard plastic?
I think the main purpose of gorilla glass is to prevent scratches. The hardened glass is still going to shatter if dropped...
Also looks like you're case only covers the sides. It appears (correct me if i'm wrong) that the corners of you're phone are exposed, and that the screen has almost no coverage. Good looking case but if it doesn't keep the phone safer...

My experience is different - I dropped my razr twice and I feel very lucky
The first time it felt of my desk on the tiled floor screen down and not even a scratch
the second was from my chest pocket on the cement pavement - got two tiny scrathes on the botom left of the screen.
My HD2 has a Gglass too and cracked on the first fall. I had better luck after the replacement...
Dropped my Razr from 4 feet up onto concrete, corner hit first, then flipped a couple of times.
No damage.
It depends on the case.
Looks like the good ole TPU case. As others have stated nothing is perfect and imo no matter what case sometimes shiznit happens.
That being said and being the clumsy person i am i have dropped my razr various times in my otterbox commuter and haven't had a problem.
People seem to forget that the most notoriously fragile phone on earth (hint: it's slightly fruity and has a 4 in the name) is made from Gorilla Glass on two sides. It's still glass.
I keep the pictures from these threads to show people who think I'm crazy for using an OtterBox. Haven't had to replace a phone since i started using them.

Monkey glass my walnuts
I was also very disappointed with the promises of gorilla glass. it seems to shatter, chips, and scratches just a little less than regular glass. manufacturers also seem to be using very thin pieces for the digitizers.
I think that monkey glass is a brand recognition like pyrex is to borosilicate. you don't buy borosilicate bowls, you buy pyrex.
Manufactures probably pay a steep tax to incorporate monkey glass in their products. To cut costs they might be using thinner layers than appropriate.
Just go to alibaba.com or dhgate.com and buy a tempered glass digitizer for like 20 to 30 dollars. Heck, buy two for good measure and to save on shipping.

Just a soft case, but it does cover the sides (see picture). As mentioned, my guess is because of the angle (right on the bottom left corner).
Some one here recommended the Otterbox Commuter. Is that the consensus on the case with which to go?
Thanks for the input!
Yes gorilla glass is strong but not bullet proof like the Kevlar back "hint of sarcasm"
People have already mentioned about manufacturing and size is one of the issues.
Corning are going to push v2 soon it'll be double strength but half thickness ;-)
Screen protector and a camping pouch for cycling down top all's good.

I've got the commuter case, it looks great, can't speak to protection factor as I have been fortunate enough to have not dropped it YET, every other touchscreen device I've owned has been dropped atleast once but in recent years I have gotten better at not dropping (after losing a 400 dollar archos 5 to a fall in the gravel driveway).
My brother got the defender case and within the first week it got snagged and pulled off and in his words went across the room, and here we are some 3 months later and its still working great, if your crazy worried about the screen, and your one of those guys that like belt clips (I don't) go with the defender as the phone can be placed in the belt clip screen in creating a full "shell" around the phone.
Also that 4 mentioned above with gorilla on both sides, LOL, has notoriously thin sheets of gorilla glass, which is why they break so easy.

I and my daughter both have otterbox commuter's on our razrs. I've been luck enough (*knock on wood*) to not have dropped mine yet. But my daughter has dropped hers enough in parking lots, driveways, classrooms, etc to more than have paid for both and her razr is still perfect.

This. Yes. This is still glass. Now, if they could make Gorilla Plexiglass, then you might have a semi dropproof phone.
I thought this Gorilla Glass 2 two was supposed to be tough, had my Galaxy Nexus since day one it was released and only got a small scratch (which was my fault) with it's "Crappy" tempered glass. I have the S3 since the 2nd of June and already have a scratch from close to he speaker down about 2 inches or more long...crazy...
I don't even know how it got there..just noticed it now, didn't throw it or do anything just been putting it down on the desk and sometimes in my backpack but not up against anything that should scratch it.....
Gorilla Glass 2...ppffttt...I thought I was going to have a scratch free screen for at least a year! haha.
Anyone else got any scratches? I'll try and upload a pic of it soon.

Get a screen protector. There is already a thread about it which says gorilla glass my ass.
Gorilla glass is resistant to keys but looks like it is not resistant to sand. That may have be the reason.

Yah I looked at them, just always hated having a screen protector, screen never looks as good, and I really liked how this screen shows only 5% of the fingers marks I would get on the Galaxy Nexus.
I guess that's the risk you take going naked.

Gorilla Glass 2 DOES help to preventing scratches to the screen, but not scuffs. It will help prevent you from creating deep, visible scratches but minor scuffs can still be visible in direct sunlight.
I'm riding bare-back too. Was going to have a screen protector but it didn't very nice. I'm just trying to be extra careful about how I place my phone and what pocket it goes in.
Probably will eventually get a protector once the honeymoon period is over.

Corning has a video on youtube.

This is what I thought too....but no....I tried to take a picture of it but it's one of those one you need to find the right lighting to see it....but it's definitively there...if you run your finger nail across the screen you can feel it...
All my previous phones, Desire, Desire HD, BB Torch, Galaxy Nexus all never with screen protectors and only the Desire HD and Nexus got scratched due to being drunk and putting my phone and my keys in the same pocket for a night...
A scratch is like Herpes I guess...one bad drunk choice, one night will affect you for the rest of it's life. haha.

I reckon GG2 is a huge gimmick compared to GG.
I've had my Galaxy S2 for the better of 1 year with and without cases. I've dropped it flat on its face, on it's side, it's back and it has come into contact with plenty of things that could've potentially scratched the phone and nothing.
Had my GS3 for just over a week it dropped off a table flat first and noticed a lovely 2 inch long scratch in the middle of it. Only viewable in direct sunlight with a black background BUT STILL a scratch is a scratch.
And when the GS3 is supposed to be THE phone of the year disappointed that GG2 is worse than GG.
Jumping into this debate a little late maybe, but none the less, I have the same experience as you guys. Had the sgs 2 for more than a year, not a scratch... Got the sgs3,and got the first scratches in no time! I have had it almost a year now, and the scratches is becoming MANY! Is there anything to do about them, or do I have to live with it until the sgs 4 comes around?
i know this phone has gorilla glass 2. But i read a few story of people getting scratches like nothing. Would like to know if anyone here is getting scratches and how
Not me but I use a screen protector. Best $10 I ever spent on my phone! Well any phone for that matter.
Yep I have scratches. Not quite sure how it happened. Thinking it was when I had it in my pocket one day.

I just picked some up from ATT until my Otterbox case comes in. I think it was a "Moshi" or something like that. I got it heavily discounted from the corp store. And to be honest its a pretty nice screen protector so far! Easy to apply and take off to clean.
What about you? I hear good things about SGP. Easy on the wallet and great quality.
I haven't received my gs3 yet but I have had the Droid since the day it came out and I keep it in my pocket with my keys and everything. It has very small scratches but nothing that you can see with the screen on.
I can't imagine the GS3 being any less scratch resistant.
No scratches at all. Always put it in my pocket and no screen protector. Had my SGS2 for 8 months without getting any scratches on the screen without a screen protector.
I got a pretty deep scratch right in the middle of mine... I think from a piece of sand or grit or something. I dropped the phone from like 2 feet, it slid off the couch onto the hardwood floor before I got my case and screen protector I was pretty upset, especially after seeing these videos of people going at it with knives and screwdrivers and whatnot with zero damage. Had my nexus one for like 2.5 years no scratches on the glass...
I keep mine in my pocket all day no scratches yet. Don't like screen protectors they make the screen look crappy

No scratches here, either. My previous phone was a Moto Photon (first gen Gorilla Glass). No scratches after a year of pocket carry.

I have a couple of little micro scratches that can only be seen if the light hits the screen at the right angle. No big deal at all. I hate screen protectors.
Yup, went in at about 10 am today, finally left around 10:45 with my new phone and it had light small hairline scratches on the side of the phone. I hadn't even touched it other than to login and download a few apps. My hands were clean and I didn't put it in my pocket, as I walked outside I noticed the scratches because of the daylight glaring on it.
I took it back and they exchanged it for me.
I am on the no screen protector and no scratches bandwagon.
Release day gs3.
Also release day gs2 that didn't every have a screen protector and no scratches.
And I do not baby the phone.
I don't baby my phone either but managed to get a scratch on the very first day. All I can remember doing was holding several phones together walking in from my truck and it got a scratch from some sand on the back of one case that was up against the S3 screen. Way too easy if you ask me. I took my original Zagg off of my nexus and put it on the S3. Can't see it now though.

I got it on release day for sprint, about 2 days ago my girlfriend borrowed it quickly to make a call while I had it out playing with it, she handed it back and I saw a smudge. Turned out the smudge was a little cluster of 5 light scratches, tiny though.
Earrings are the devil. It's not even like they were diamonds or anything super expensive, just cheap daily wearers.
I was a little bummed immediately (hid it well though to not make her feel bad, lol) but really they are only noticeable if the screen is off and you're trying to look for them. Now it's officially mine
So yeah, guess I should of thought ahead but being that I don't wear earrings it never even occured to me in the moment. Still not going to grab a screen protector, I'm sure with how I abuse my phone in 8 months or so I'll end up having to get an insurance replacement anyway lol.
Nope, had a screen protector on it since day 1
I dont have any scratches. I kept the in-box screen cover for almost a week until Realook started shipping their dry-type protectors. Now I got them and I can recommend to anyone. No change to screen quality and tocuh feel. Had Realook on my Vibrant for 2 years and served well.

Had my Note 3 for two months with heaps of usage, even dropped on concrete once (no damage done), and there's no signs of damage to the silver, and it's just as shiny as the day it came out of the box.
I'm hesitant to believe that ^
I have some blemishes on the brim of the silver bezel just from applying a screen protector with a credit card (which I'm assuming scratched it)
i dropped my phone a few time, some at 5', the silver trim is pretty soft so it had a dent and 1 small chip in it. But other that that, it is surprisingly durable. Other people look at it and are surprised that I don't have a case on it
No case at all and got my Note 3 on January 10th and I have absolutely no signs of wear on the back or on the silver sides/rim area with 5-8 hours of screen time most days
dropped mine from 3 inches out of my jacket pocket on accident. HUGE gouges on corner silver area. Luckily since its soft its able to be sanded / polished. I used 1500 grit sandpaper and went to town on it. then polished with aluminium polish to refinish it . Still some deep scratches, but much better.

I've dropped mine a total of 5 times (3 on tiles and 2 on lino) and only have a few small nicks out of the paint. Luckily each time I dropped it, it landed screen up?. Camera lens is still scratch free aswell and I won't be case-less for much longer, slim armor on it's way.
Here's a couple of shots of the chip. I was using a macro lens to get close and one thing I noticed, there was quite a few micro scratches all around the rim. Even holding the device right up close to your face you couldn't see them but under magnification they're visible.

When my phone hit the concrete it hit face-up, so the back cover took all the impact. No damage aside from a small mark on the back cover, which is easily replaceable anyway. Guess I'm just lucky, haha.

I had my Note 2 that didn't quite make it into my pocket, and landed on the side on concrete from about 3 feet up. Cracked the screen completely. When I got my Note 3, I armored it up. First with Otterbox, then with ZeroLemon battery (worth it, IMHO, due to the increased power availability and the case for about the same price as an otterbox). I like the feel of the otterbox, but the ZeroLemon power is definitely the driving factor in what I want.
All told, I will never have an uncased smartphone again, until they can make the glass and electronics shock proof to at least 40gs. Just my opinion.
Cheers,
B.D.
No case here and still in prestine condition. I do baby my phones and make sure my pockets are clean with no key or sand. The faux leather back really helps. I understand why people use cases. I just hate using cases.
