Twice unfortunately, once face down onto a tile floor and cracked the LCD display (not the glass though), then a few weeks after getting my replacement it fell getting out of my car and cracked the display again. Ausurion canceled me
never...
All it takes is one drop right on the face to smash the glass. It's a bad design flaw. The glass is glued on so that it sticks out past the bezel. The bezel needs to guard the glass. I hope they fix this on the GN3. Don't carry it around without a case. You'll be sorry.
Dropped it twice on concrete but luckily both times my Otterbox did its job. Definarltely a satisfied customer.

:-( dropped face down on concrete. Happy to say gorilla glass doing its job. Got a light chip on the front bezel and light scratches on the physical button.
Can I do anything about this to even out the scratch or do I have to just move on

there is scratch removal kit for acrylic, not sure it will work, you might want to try it
I would freak out if I drop my new phone lucky nothing broke down.
I don't even dare to think about dropping it. My sg1 was capable of independent flight and survive it due to that little edge around the glass.

I would get a tiny matte finished decal and put it over the button.
Of course this is pretty difficult...
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.

So tonight my phone decided to take a flight down some stairs. Down 4 metal stairs on a metro bus each being nearly a foot tall. Picked it up thinking it'd have major scratches or cracked screen. I looked it over and nothing. No scratches on body or screen. I was so relieved. No case or screen protector on it. My phone likes to be naked.
Attached is the stairs it went down.

I dropped mine for the first time last night. Note 2 in Case Mate Pop case holstered in my Seidio Active holster hooked onto my shoulder strap of my back pack and some how it detached itself from the holster and fell flat, back first. My heart dropped when I heard the sound of my N2 hitting the ground! Phone survived with only minor dents/scratches on the case corners.
Wondering how much internal damage was done?.....

Luck for me, I have not dropped my Note 2 yet, but hence the word yet . It's only a matter of time! I hope it doesn't do what I envision (crack, battery fall out, and die).

So I was a little bored tonight. So I figure I would give my outterbox a new look..
1.Auto zone has the paint. With all kinds of color. $7.49 a can
2.Masking tape for the screen cover.
3. A well vented area.
4. Spray away and let it sit for 24hrs.
5. Might have to spray it 3-4 times to get a nice coat on it..
Now your phone looks sexy..

Been thinking of doing this with red. Already modded my Otter to fit the Mugen extended battery so this could be the final touch. Nice job, looks good. As for masking the screen cover though...won't need to do that, I popped it out first thing.
Wish i could paint the ugly great outside cover. Is there a way?

Anyone have any experience with this case on this phone or any other phone? Looks like a straight rip off of the TakTik for the iPhone. I love the look of it! I'm tempted to buy one and see how it is.

Using it right now. Sure it does feel heavy and stuff. Aint water proof more like water resistant the glass panel of the casing easily left a finger print mark. Phone feels solid and sturdy drop it a few times and it sure does give u a peace of mind knowing how well this case protects your phone. To me even if it feels heavy or big or bulky it is well worth it to spend on it rather than letting your phone drop and smashed.

I actually ordered one of these last week for $28 eBay. I'm hoping it is decent. Didn't buy for waterproof just want drop protection. Search the forums other people have reviewed this case. Plus there's some reviews on Amazon.
Damn, that's a sexy case. Only issue would be changing batteries in and out. It's screwed together, correct?

i had one for my S4 and I can tell you the following:
water covering over the earpiece makes it hard as hell to hear anyone
water covering over the speaker makes anything playing out of it dull sounding and not as loud
water covering over the mic makes anyone on the phone sound muffled
Now I took all my water coverings off so it was pretty much a metal otterbox with no waterproof seals and I loved it. Some people didnt like how heavy it was, but it was not a big deal for me.

Well whenever I saw the TakTik case for the iPhone I was VERY tempted to jump over the chasm just for that beautiful beast of a case! I've always looked for a case that would mimic the TakTik. If anyone can post a picture or two of it, and also if anyone finds a link for a low price for one, I'm sure all of us will appreciate it!

I got one on my phone everything is functional. Yes s-pen is in there but on exposed there is a mod to hid all items in the top left of the status bar so this way you can leave your s-pen a quarter of the way out and you will be able to pull it out with your finger nail other then that it's great. I had to buy a case with a holster for the 6.3 mega to use it with a holster. I heated up the side of the holster with a heat gun bent them out and now it's no longer a brick in my pocket. Down side it's heave now with the case one hit and you can knock someone out cold with it and still make a phone call when done. Lol I haven't tried. If you guys want pics I'll be happy to post some.
