Hi all had my eo 3d quite a while its unroooted and unmodified in any way.
I wanted to root but just dare not do it as htc have repaired it twice in 2 weeks now. Its perfect in every other way no scratches as it never comes out of it protective casing yet it still breaks so easy and for seemingly no reason .First time wouldnt turn on after battery running out and needed new motherboard and battery then two weeks after repair lost signal then after reboot got boot loop. Ive never had a phone break so easy and i have never treat a phone so carefully ahhhh.
Is everyone elses phone this fragile also got it back yesterday hoping it lasts more than two weeks.
Mine isn't like that. It took a 4 to 5 ft fall yesterday still rocking solid!

Ahh why is mine then so annoying actually love the phone when its ok but sick of treating it like its an egg ready to break and want to root but dont want to effect my warranty as it seems needed at the moment lol
Probably your luck. I threw mine off an 8 feet fall into hard concretrete. Nothing. Just the battery popped out. It was fine. Popped the battery in and it booted and was greeted by the HTC screen. No scratches.

I've dropped my 3d a countless amount of times (even on hard concrete) without any sort of case. i find mine very durable! no screen cracks, minimal screen scratches.
the bezel however is scratched up considerably, and recently its kind of come off a little on the left side. but all buttons work perfectly still, everything still feels solid
since this turned into a "how indestructible my evo 3d is thread" I'll share my story:
slipped out of my hands down a flight of stairs. Smalll scuff on bezel, no damage.
mine sure isnt fragile, my launch day 3d is still going strong after multiple falls and drops.
I also have dropped my phone, not often but a few times. I have a Casemate POP case that does a real good job protecting the phone.
The only thing i am upset about is that the bezel has kind of pulled away from the case on the left side (someone else mentioned this too). I think this is a weak point of the phones design, as i always have my case on and there is no damage on that side...
My friend's 3D fell from his car doing 45 and aside from some serious scratches the thing is fine.

Mine's taken a fall or two while running and still works.
Otterbox FTW
I kept mine in mint condition, literally brand new condition. Then it froze up and I had to take it out of the case to remove the battery. I layed it on my bed while it was plugged in and thought "i probably need to put it back in the case", but decided I'd do it later, after all, what could happen to it while its laying on my bed charging? So I walked away and tripped over the charging cord which ripped it off the bed and onto my stained concrete floor. Scratched the hell out of the bezel but that's all. I hate that metal bezel.
Trident case FTW

the phone slipped from my hands while crossing the street and it got hit by a car, small scratch on upper left and lower right on bazel, and after a day or so I noticed it going off from the right side, a drop of super glue fixed every thing, still works perfecly
Best buy insurance ftw. No cover of any kind. Why? Unlimited free replacements. Doesnt cover lost/stolen tho.

I've had mine since the week before the official release. I'd had a Behold II under contract and thankfully fussed at the right T-Mobile corporate people at the right time, and they basically gave me the Vibrant to shut me up.
Anywho, this thing has bounced off of countless things as well as survived a bathtub dump and an accidental washing with the laundry (disassembly required for proper drying out afterwards on both occasions). Has two tiny nicks on the chrome trim and one tiny scuff on one of the backplates.
Still runs like a champ! Best phone I've ever had.
I agree. My dad got this off a friend for 100$ flat and neither him nor I regret it. After all its been through it only has some minor nicks on the crome sides and a small scratch on the backplate. Best phone ive ever had

Hope it can last just one year longer. Then I'll be getting myself an iPhone 5.
My device as stood up against a couple of small drops. There are 1 or 2 dings in the chrome bezel, but, other than that... it's still flawless, and I've had this thing since a day or two after US release. I stopped using the rubber case, since I'm usually pretty careful (except the 2 dings)... and what's the point of buying a super sleek, ultra thin phone, just to bulk it up with giant case. I also don't use screen protectors, and my screen is still flawless. I mean, the Galaxy S series has Gorilla Glass... which is scratch resistant. Besides, screen protectors reduce picture quality, and touch response.

I love my vibrant but the only reason I like it is because of our awesome devs. before I learned how to flash and everything I ****ing hated this thing. the nexus phones are the only ones that work great out of the box and even then I think it needs tweaking before everything is great. I'm going with the iPhone next because I want something easy out of the box that doesn't require much work.
the way I see it is
Rooted, flashed and tweaked android phone >>>>>>>>>>>> iphone
out of the box
iphone >android
only by a little though
I like android more too, but with every device there are tradeoffs. I'm willing to be in apple's walled garden for now haha
I got my Vibrant right around when it launched. Put a Zagg shield on it and that Samsung carbon fiber looking case the same day. Actually replaced the battery on it two months ago and i finally took the case off to clean it. Not a scratch and still looks new. I didnt even pamper the phone. I just think the hardware was solid and im sure a good case helped keep the plastic looking shiny. Hope my new GNex looks as good in another year.
I dropped mine in molten lava, let it sit for a day in a bag of rice, and its good as new.
Vibrant is a freaking defy on crack. I've stepped on it, last Christmas I dropped it slipped from my pocket onto a pile of rocks I was on top of my garage, its tooken a million and one drops. It bounced off my stairs once and my little nephews flung it across the room. Amazing phone. :')

Sorry need to vent and before anyone asks, I have ordered some accessories already, no ones got anything locally. So here goes my story.... By accident I dropped my phone on a mat and it bounced lightly and hit the gym floor, I was sitting down so my phone was only about 12" from the mat. Anyways long story short I have a nice 4mm scratch on my screen...
I have had a few phones with gorilla glass thats been dropped harder and no scratches.. Like my infuse that got its housing dented and landed face down. (wasn't my fault, friend dropped it) Im so pissed right now, this thing is only 2 days old.

It is possible to scratch Gorilla Glass; Corning's marketing materials call it "scratch resistant". My Photon 4G has Gorilla Glass and the previous owner managed to scratch it.

You could have dropped it on some miniscule piece of sharp metal or something... who knows.
That first scratch is always the worst ;(
Man, sorry to hear about your GNote. I would be distraught. Everyone be careful with your new phones! AND get your screen protectors on.
First cut is the deepest
Could it be possible that the scratch happened from another incident where you wouldn't expect damage at all and you never really noticed till you dropped it then closely examined it? For example.. Sliding it into your jeans pocket while the face of the phone scrapes along the copper stud at the top of the fob/ticket/watch pocket (the small one)...
That has totally happened to me a long time ago with my blackberry, was PISSED that I had a long ass scratch on my screen and was puzzled as to how it came to be. Until I slide it in my pocket only to notice it happen again and realized lol
But, again, that was just an example of a seemingly harmless but destructful act.
I was going to say you must have a nice gym where the floor is made of diamonds...
Sorry about the scratch, tho. Your scratch looks just like mine - which I can't actually see if the display is on. Hopefully yours isn't too bad.
I don't see how because you happened to scratch your screen it equates to the device not having gorilla glass at all. Its not indestructible ya' know.

To be fair, though, your post title looks like you're trolling. I'd suggest changing it if you can...nothing wrong with venting, but spreading misinformation is kind of uncool even though you're frustrated (and I can definitely relate to that). Maybe "Gorilla Glass isn't as tough as I thought..." and then show an HD video of the vball game shot with your Note just because you can.
Changed, thanks.

My Captivate is 1 1/2 years old. I've never had a screen protector near it. I've dropped the thing a dozen times, it even slid 15 feet on it's face on an asphalt covered hill. I stuck it in and out of my pocket over 1,000 times and it doesn't have one scratch on the glass.
I was really hoping we would get the same protection on the Note.
Guess I am going to re-think the whole screen protector thing. Bummer!
Gotta say, thing is built sturdy. First dropped on the bottom, made a minor scruff you can barely notice. And then I dropped it on a weight, it hit the back of the phone thankfully and made a dent in the metal. If it was glass, gone. Still works, nothing is acting up, got a case to help further prevent these accidents. But I'm happy so far, HTC seems to make good build phones. I remember dropping my original evo 4g while biking and it only scruffed the edges up, and not even that bad.

Bought my EVO LTE at best buy, I'll never make that mistake again, those people are idiots, anyway it only took a 3 foot drop to completely demolish the screen, because of my low post count I can't post the pic but you can follow the link just add the h t t p stuff in front of it --oi45.tinypic.com/292ognd.jpg
Asurion sent me a replacement, the broken one still worked so I didn't mind the 5 day wait, when the replacement got here I noticed something was wrong with it right away, got hot, reboots, settings changing at random etc etc... worst thing about it was connecting to my router through wifi would bring both the router and cable modem down, I never did figure that one out.
Called Asurion yesterday, told them the story, they tell me the lte is on backorder and they will send one out to me as soon as they get a shipment in, I thought wow this is turning out to be a major fiasco, came home from work today and the new phone was sitting in front of my door, that was FAST!
So far this 3rd LTE seems to be working good even though I've only had it a few hours, no problems yet, keeping my fingers crossed because I love these phones!
At least put a TPU case on that thing, just my two cents.
That dent would drive me crazy even if I put a case on it. Luckily I have full body shield and an otterbox commuter on mine

I would HATE that dent. But I guess its good that you can live with it.
That being said, I can't stand cases anymore. I have an Otterbox on my og EVO and it drove me crazy after a couple weeks. Cases are too big and don;t slide in and out of my pocket easily. Also, it takes away from the aesthetics of the phone!
Good OP for not freaking out or going crazy. Too often around these parts you have people freaking the hell out about a tiny little scratch.
Yeah honestly it's not that bad. At first I didn't notice until I actually looked for it. It's hard to even take a picture in the camera, have to get the right angle. And I have my new case which covers it up anyway, hopefully it will keep it a bit safer. If something broke, then I'd be mad. But all is well so far!
Case seperation - Sprint won't fix
Ok so at least I'm not the only re-tard that drops his brand new $200 toy. I have had a run of bad luck lately with my Sprint phones. I broke my Evo 4g last winter when I fell with the phone in my pocket and cracked the screen. $100 later replacement from insurance and I'm out playing disc golf when I try to retrieve a disc from the lake...with my phone in my pocket.
Upgraded to the LTE ver, but there is something with the slick plastic and back on this phone, seems to slip out of pockets too easliy. Less than a week, and I dropped it out of my pocket onto a corner. To my suprise the screen did not crack, just a little divit in the plastic.
Two days later, BAM out of my pocket again, this time face down on a parking lot. Again screen intact, none the worse for wear. Then I put the phone in the pocket of a folding chair (wasn't going to let it fall out of my pocket again), but forgot until I went to fold up the chair and lift it up, BAM out of the chair onto the ground.
This time, not so lucky an got a little separation at the bottom between the two halves of the phone. I pay for insurance or "total equipment protection" so I took the phone into sprint only to hear that they can't work on the Evo LTE yet. I thought it was because I dropped it, but they said HTC would not yet Authorize Sprint Repair to work on the phone. Furious, I spoke to a manager who said the same thing. Out of luck unless I want to ship to HTC for repair. Phone still works, so for now I just got a gel case and I can't realy even see the damage now. Holding my breath that the phone keeps working.
but...im not a "re-tard"
but damn, that sucks. case is a must, at least if you want to make it look "pretty" after a some months.
I didn't drop my phone for the first time until after it was wrapped in the security of an OtterBox. I rarely walked around with it in my hand. I tried my best to keep it secure in a pocket of some sort. I figure it's a lot easier (and cheaper) to replace a case than it is to replace a phone.
I don't understand how people are cracking their screens so easily. I threw my 4G at a wall and the screen remained intact. It no longer worked, but it wasn't cracked. I dropped it numerous times onto various surfaces and the screen was not so much as scratched.
Hi there, new Galaxy S3 owner here.
I've done extensive research about the phone and durability was what scared me the most. Nevertheless, the power, screen, and other features over my aging Galaxy S, proved too good to pass up, so I went ahead and bought it in the end.
The galaxy s3 is reasonably well built in my opinion, however, the metallic rim does not protrude out of the bezel (the galaxy S1 and S2 both have a slightly protruding rim), and therefore, provides very little protection in the event of a face down drop as the glass strikes a surface first, and not the rim. The videos on YouTube also confirm my theory as the GS2 suffered no damage in a face down drop, while the GS3 got wrecked. Corner drops also seemed very lethal to the GS3.
With all these fears in mind I have got myself a flip case that covers the corners and the screen, but is that really necessary and will that help during a drop?

Dropped my "naked" phone twice once on a linoleum floor from about 3 feet, the phone landed on the upper left corner, no damage of any kind and on hardwood floor from about 4-5 feet and again no damage, this time the phone landed flat on its back. My conclusion is that S3 should survive all "indoor" drops just fine, dropping it on the sidewalk or in a driveway will probably damage it that said I'm willing to risk it as I can't stand putting a case on the S3 as in my opinion doing so completely ruins the look of the phone.

If you've owned a GS1 like I did, (or even GS2), you'll feel how I had balls of steel with that phone as it's literally unbreakable. In a WWII tank analogy the GS1 feels like a German tiger while the GS3 feels like an M4 Sherman

Dropped mine once, not too high though. Luckly nothing happened and it is still intact!
Sorry to bring this thread up again, but today the inevitable drop happened! Dropped it out of an unzipped pocket of my jacket at a height slightly above my waist probably from a height of about 1 meter or so.
The phone landed flat on the screen with a noticeable thud, on a concrete pavement with loads of gravel on top of it. It didn't even bounce once so that's a heck lot of pressure. Thankfully, my flip case was closed (as seen in my first post), and the padding for the screen probably saved my GS3's arse big time. I guess that case is a very good investment after all practical while still aesthetically pleasing Any other experiences for drops or other accidents?
dropped my phone screen face down twice now, at home( height is slightly lesser than 1m i guess, table-height - i tend to sweep the phone off the table for some reason ) so far no noticeable damage
Hi.

That all depends upon one the case and two the angle of the fall .

YOU dropped your phone, not Samsung, not anyone here, accept it and deal with it and take responsibility for your actions......and YES, you do need a case for your car if you are a rubbish driver and keep crashing......see the similarity?
This is what it is made of materials that cell, S1 and S2, so many times I fell down (on the asphalt, the tiles) and it worked, and S3, and the time it collapsed!

Be more careful with your phone and if you think Samsung is s**t then buy something else!

Ok,, let me try again......
Every now and then I drop a mug....sometimes they break, sometimes they don't......when they don't I breath a sigh of relief.....when they do break, I kick myself for being so clumsy....I don't start ranting at the manufacturer or posting on forums, because I don't want to look like a complete idiot who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions or carelessness.....do you get it yet?
Mine fell from the second floor (about 10 meters high) and nothing happened. Got to say im lucky and i love my case
Oh and once i was getting out of the car and i forgor i put my phone on my lap and it fell onto the street and u know how asphalt is rough and yet my phone survived without a scratch.
Conclusion: buy a good quality case.
Hell my case doesnt even cover the screen and is just on sides. Guess im luckier than others.

I don't believe in cases, I've had three smartphones and all three are working to date without cases. My first smartphone was the HTC Wildfire and when i first got it i also bought a $10 Hard case for it, one day my friend accidentally kicked the phone out of my hand and on the floor, the case shattered but the phone was intact. Since then I dont use any kind of case on my phones. On the S3 i use an screenprotector and an clear skin protector for the back(because it scratches easily), I have dropped it several times from a height of 1m-1,5m and the phone doesent even have a scratch on it. Either my phone is stronger than yours in some way or I'm just lucky
