I reach rehearsal a little late and was hurrying to get set up and put my 6P on my keyboard and completely forgot it was there. About 5 minutes into the rehearsal the vibrations from the bass in the rehearsal room and my playing seems to have caused the phone to slowly move about until it fell [emoji15].
After all those bend tests and scare tactics I'd seen here and on reddit I swore the phone was done for. It took a 4 foot drop onto a thin carpet. I'm not sure which part of the phone made impact, I just heard the thump and had that sinking feeling because I'm usually WAY more careful than this. It's always these kinda scenarios where I'm late or rushing when my devices get dropped. Anyhow, long and short, the phone is perfectly fine. Not a ding or scratch to be seen or felt. The device didn't bend or implode and all components work exactly as they did before.
Decided to write this post so those worrying can relax a bit. The phone is as durable as you'd expect it to be!

With all the kids sitting on their phones, and slamming the 6P on tables to break the back glass, you'd almost expect it to implode Thanks for sharing this, and glad it's ok!
I noticed a microscopic scratch on my screen today. I've been pretty careful with the phone. Never put it face down or in pockets with coins/keys. So just an FYI it probably is pretty easy to scratch the screen if you're not careful with it.
Glad everything is OK!
Dropped mine 4 times now and it's fine

Coins and keys will not scratch glass. Metal is softer than glass. Get some silica (sand/dirt/etc) in your pocket or a surface that you put the display side down on and accidentally grind it in and that definitely will.
Edit: that said. I keep my phone pocket clean and empty. If you drop your phone on concrete or pavement or the ground, DO NOT WIPE THE DISPLAY OFF! Blow the dirt off first before you cause friction wiping it. Then very carefully remove the rest. Make sure to keep your pockets dirt free. Shake them inside out if you suspect you got dirt in them.

gorilla glass 4...harder to shatter at the expense of some scratch resistance
http://www.evolutivelabs.com/blogs/news/17122293-gorilla-glass-3-vs-4
First drop test of my phone last night. Using a clear case and have a Slickwraps with a glass screen protector. Dropped it off my lap getting out of the car onto the top of the phone and fell face down in the rocks. Small chip on the screen protector and no phone damage. Very happy.
Yeah, mine fell out of my lap onto the concrete from my truck about 2 days after I opened it.. No marks in glass but the metal on edge is a little scuffed. I hate cases since I love the way this phone feels in your hands but the scuff bugs me everytime I touch it lol

I lucked out when I dropped mine. Completely naked, it bounced off my cat's water bowl and landed on the tile floor screen up. No physical damage at all!
(This was one day before my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case arrived - it's been in the case ever since)
lol at people rejoicing because their 6p didn't break
Never dropped my phone...until today I did it twice. Luckily I was at work where I keep the felt back case on it. One was 5 feet up on a hard floor....the case protected it perfectly. That being said...once my dbrand skin arrives ima have to be more careful. I always use tgsp though.

A screen protcetor will prevent your phone from scratching and dropping,why not?

I had mine in my back pocket and sat in a folding chair. I only weigh 146, so it's not like I'm all that big. The back edge grazed the back support as I sat down. I heard a sickening crunch and when I looked at it the back of the phone the glass on the curved section had snapped. I wouldn't worry about the front of the devicedevice, but that back glass is not too impressive. I feel like that curved section didn't have enough support. The curve also likely contributed to the weakness. I now have a case that covers it up and I have no intentions of ever selling this device, but it is still pretty sickening. I've never cracked the glass on any device I've ever owned. This was the only disappointment I've had with this device, especially since I'd had it for less than two weeks at that point.

Just wondering, how's everyone else's lumia holding up? I've been using mine for about 3-4 months now (I have a black one) and here are the things i noticed:
Chrome on the back is without a doubt scratched.
Black body has begun to have a shiny "sheen" to it. (body oils/in out of the pocket?) edges are especially getting shinier.
Screen has some play in it: it can shift from side to side a lil bit.
Anyone else noticing these traits? I dont use a case.
My screen is totally scratched, but everything else works fine for me. Battery is also good. 3 Days of using isn't a problem.
My screen is scratched as hell.But thats my fault for taking it on holiday and playing fruit ninja on the beach.
Sand beats Gorilla glass hands down.
Back chrome is also scratched despite having it in a snap on case from new.
...really? I've had mine for a few months and it's in perfect condition. Back chrome is like new and screen is great. I've had it in the included case since day one.

Mine is holding up perfectly (got it the 15th of january I think.. or a little bit earlier actually..). No scratches on the screen, it is in perfect condition. I do however have som skratches at the metal plate on the backside in the middle, but the chassis itself is almost untouched from this. I do however have a bump on the lower left corner of the chassis since I lost it in a concrete floor, but nothing serious and it still looks fantastic.
All in all, perfectly.. or much better than my old HTC Desire HD at least. I was amazed when the Lumia survived with just a small bump from the fall from almost 1.5 meters into concrete. I am pretty sure my HTC would have died instantly.
Mine is holding up fantastically.
The only 'damage' is from a pretty hard fall that it took while in the silicone case. Tiny chip out of the corner near the audio jack. There's also a very small, very short scratch on the glass, above the display, from the same fall. With a very clean screen and the right light, a few scratches can be seen that look like hairs that you want to blow off.
Aside from that, any time I think there's a scratch, it just turns out to be a blemish that rubs right off.
Had mine since December and it still looks like new.
Lets be honest, if you have a Nokia Lumia and its damaged at this stage, any other phone you would have had would most likely be even worse.

Yeah the Lumia is definitely better built than the HTC phones, my HD7 was a mess after a few months but my Lumia is still like new.
Same here. Still looks great. Chrome plate on the back has a few micros scratches, but thats it.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Mine's also in perfect condition. I bought a pair of XtremeGuard back/front clear protector and put a piece of clear tape over the chrome camera part
My power button does not work as of today. I have the factory case on my phone and dropped it from about knee height (while I was sitting in a tiny chair) and the power button ceased to function. I am incredibly angry because I'm in Beijing and it's an import from HK.
Mine, 3 month old, is in prestine condition apart from a few microscratches in the chrome cameraplate. Always naked.
(On A side note I managed to bring a drowned 800 of a colleague back to life. After it had been dropped in a pool of water on a Saturday I got my hands on it on Tursday and it was litterally dead... No pulse whatsoever!
I thought it was gone for sure so I thought it would be good pratice to take it completely apart. While I had it complety disassembled I carefully dried away the remaining water (yes there was still water inside it) and left it to dry a few hours.
Then I reassembled it and to My surprise I got a small beep when I connected the battery, so my hopes where going up as I finished the assembly. I then connected the charger but it was still silent.... No reaction.....
But then after 5 minutes on charger I saw a battery icon and after an additional 10 minutes it actually booted.... But then rebooted, and rebooted.... About 4 times and then it settled by itself. Then I could start to explore the phone and it was a mess. Partial old data was still there and some apps where partly gone. But a simple hard reset brought it back to life this is two weeks ago and it is still running flawlesly, much to the surprise of both me and the owner of the phone.
He did everything wrong after the initial accident, trying to start and charge and left it assembled. For 3 full days.
I was quite possitively surprised of how well the modules was fitting together again after the operation. I is quite obvious that Nokia has many years of top notch industrial design behind them. )
Very sturdy design!

My Own - Purchased Nov 2011, No Case; No skin..
Good lord, I can't top the last story - phenomenal recovery!!
On mine..
RM-801 Unlocked
I use a holster case, but no hard case on the phone itself nor do I use the sleeve that came with the phone.
Screen: Microscratches but these are only visible when I use a damp microfiber cloth to clean it every few days. When I dry it, the scratches are no longer visible.
Back chrome - scratched to hell, but NO damage on the Zeiss lens! I do try to lay it down on a microfiber cloth though when possible..
Damage:
TWO falls when I was screwing around taking pictures. In both cases, the screen assembly separated slightly disabling the proximity sensor (disastrous for phone calls!) so got my Torx screw driver and Krazy Glue out and followed instructions someone has on YouTube - and both times the phone has restored completely perfectly.
Thank GOD..
* Glass didn't shatter either of the two falls - the corners on the polycarbonate body are just a bit chewed up especially from Fall #1 which occurred on concrete.
* Note that the little door that all the 1st reviewers were worried about has never come close to snapping off even during the fall events. The sliding door with the SIM Card came out both times, but with no damage. .
the back metal chrome was scratched on week 1 but its the same for all polished metals, I buffed it back out with some metal polish and a cloth, as far as I can tell 1 month in its still good, and judging the fact the phone was launched into space and came back to earth and working proves testament to it integral robustness and interoperability of environments.
The chrome on the back is heavily scratched of course.
I have 2 very very small scratches on the screen because of two falls. Both are very small though and I never ever notice them unless I look for them.
The biggest damage is on the body. It happened when I dropped my phone from 1.5m and it hit the ground extremely hard at the corner of the phone where the 3,5mm jack is. The 3,5mm jack held up luckily enough considering the fall it had which can be seen on the image below.

Really? I have had my DHD for over a year before switching to the Lumia 800, it is still in near-new condition. How do you find the 800 battery in comparison to the DHD? I am finding the 800 to be considerably worse...
That story about bringing back the drowned Lumia back to life is amazing. Goodjob. Anyways, has anyone with an oily phone tried cleaning it with 99% alcohol to see if it gets rid of it? Also you guys could try for a brushed metal look on that chrome piece on the back if the scratches bother you. Like this:

I got one a couple days after it came out and immediately returned it without taking any pictures of it. The proximity sensor stopped working while in the case but worked once taken out, there were tiny scratches and residue of some kind on the screen protector. I've spent a lot of money on a lot of cases over the years and I think this is the most disappointed I've been. For the price I was expecting more, I feel it's definitely over-priced. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

I don't need a waterproof case all the time, just for certain occasions. I ended up getting one of the RedPepper waterproof cases for less than 1/2 the price and I'm happy with it. The only draw back is you can't access the s-pen. I stuffed it with paper towels and left it under water for 10 minutes and they were still dry.

I got my case yesterday after waiting almost 4 weeks. I use the proximity sensor to wake up my screen and I've noticed that with most apps that the proximity sensor fails, but there are couple apps that works with the proximity sensor even with the obex case on. Right now, I'm using the obex case with no problems at all including the proximity sensor working just fine.
Touch sensitivity is also very good. This is with using a glass screen protector (feather) along with the built in screen protector. If fits perfectly and doesn't interfere at all with the sensitivity. I was going to take off the screen protector because I've heard that it will interfere with the sensitivity, but I have a thin glass one and it's working the same as before the case was on. I think it can work with thick glass (over .4mm) screen protector as well, but problem is I don't think it will fit within the case since it's already a tight fit with even with a thin one.
Anyway, a very good case IMHO. Only con is the horrible backorder status (you'll probably have to wait a while for Seidio to ship it) and the price is still overpriced no matter how good it is.

If waterproof is a necessity, I would plunge for the obex. I did the water test before I put my phone in the case and it's pretty flawless. Some water will seep in through the port area, but the actual inside is very dry.
I can't really say for sure for other brands as this is my first waterproof case, but I would be cautious of other brands especially nameless ones. But like you said, if it's just to cover from light water or splashes, I would say go for a case that just covers the whole phone (including ports). Just make sure not to drop it in water. ]
Also, I know that I said the price is a con, but in the end, that's just subjective so take that with a grain of salt lol.
As requested by the OP, here are some pictures. Please forgive me for the incredibly crappy quality as I took these pictures with a 4 year old Xperia device. The camera is not too great on it unfortunately.
Hopefully someone does it a proper review and provides better pictures than I do. These pictures really don't give justice to how sleek the actual case is.
I'm glad someone is having better luck than I did with the Obex case. For $30 I'm completely happy with the RedPepper case, I've tested it again for 20 minutes (instead of 10) underwater and it's still dry inside.
How deep in the water did you go? Will it just float? What about a toilet fall?
Any practical test? Not just a glass of water or bowl.

The last time I tested it I was ice fishing on Monday (with it 70 degrees out, in shorts and a t-shirt), I tied some extra line to the lanyard, weighted it and left it in 3 feet of water for 20 minutes total. This was just with paper towel in the case. I'll check tonight and see if it floats with the phone in it. I'm not willing to drop my case in the toilet, sorry, I'd want a new case afterwards.

You did enough to convince me. Im totally sold... now to just wait for the case to hit 30-50 bucks. $80 is too large. I'll get a cheaper one till then.
As for a toilet fall... i'm looking an impact before water submersion is all. Most of the time it hits the inner bowl first. BUT who text will standing over the toilet... i would never admit to that one. Same thing with the swimming pool... slip, side of the pool... bounces into water.

You'll be happy with the RedPepper case. I mostly got mine for fishing and swimming. If it gets wet it will only be for a few seconds anyway but I wanted to test it to see how waterproof it actually is when left under water.
Seidio case is getting sent back. 3 ft of water about a minute water inside..... Such a bummer... all seals check and left it in a bowl of water for 15 minutes when i first got it no issues maybe 3 feet was to much for it....
I've posted a thread on Reddit getting into more detail about the spontaneous crinkling of the area surrounding the power/volume buttons, but obviously as a newer user I can't post links.
After reading over some 20-30 different cases and having experienced the crinkling first hand...
I believe that it's related to case usage, but it might help to further narrow down the cause of this issue.
My theory is that since metal expands/contracts in varying weather, it is expanding to a size which is too large for the case it is fitted in, resulting in the metal crinkling in the spot where it has the least amount of structural support. For someone like myself who works in property management, I'm constantly moving back and forth between room-temperature environments and colder 40-50 degree weather. The plastic/TPU case may contract/expand as well, but not at the same rate or the same degree as the metal chassis.
If this issue has happened to you post what type of case you use if applicable and how long you've had your device. Post photos if necessary.
For example, the spontaneous crinkling looks like the photos here

Honestly it's not super widespread. Remember it's the minority who will speak out about issues and most people will go on without having any issues. Don't shy away from this great device because a few of us are trying to figure out this issue.

Happened to me on my first 6P. I was using this case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015X90UJS/
And it crinkled at the exact same spot. I thought it had something to do with the tightness of the case so I got a flexible tpu case to hopefully avoid it

The answer is, the phone is in your pocket, you sit down or do anything that causes your pants to apply pressure to your phone, it flexes and causes that little ripple in the metal.
I'm cautiously calling BS on this one. This is either a manufacturing defect or the result of some mishandling. Aluminum is not deforming like that without considerable force.
Also note the little chip in the glass right where it's bent (2nd picture).

Happened to me on my first 6P. I was using this case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015X90UJS/
And it crinkled at the exact same spot. I thought it had something to do with the tightness of the case so I got a flexible tpu case to hopefully avoid it

That's interesting. I was thinking/hoping that that type of case (Supcase) would prevent any bending because it offers a bit more stability.

If that were true all phones regardless of make/model would bend. Of course any phone can bend with enough force applied but it would seem there's more at play here because the bend/kink is occuring in the same place. A case, especially an OEM sanctioned case, shouldn't bend a phone by simply inserting and removing it. As for being put in a pocket that's pretty common and you'd think it would be designed for.
If you look at the design of the 6P it's more sensitive to top-to-bottom stress because there's nothing holding the mid-frame to the aluminum body in the center. Most people put a case on top-to-bottom; at least I do. You'd be better off putting a 6P case on or removing it side-to-side to avoid putting pressure on the button cut-outs which are the weakest part of the aluminum frame.

I do understand what you mean. The issue is that it doesn't seem to be a problem with 99% of phones on the market. It seems that manufacturers should know by now that the phone will be put in our pockets so they should manufacturer them to withstand it.

They do bend! They are supposed to bend, just like a tall building in the wind. Look up how Apple tests the iPhone, most manufacturers do the same thing.

Me too. I like the way the case looks and feels. It's very tight on the phone. The edges around the phone are very flexible though

things bend sure, not like how the OP's picture is, or many others that have had the same issue.
there is bending, and then there is bending . this a design flaw in the nexus 6p . everyone jumped all over jerry rig video on youtube, but he exposed where the flaw was and cracked the phone with his sneeze.

Here's what's missing from the design Huawei chose for the 6P.
Unlike Samsung, LG, and Motorola who use the same design, there's no unity between the subframe and body of the phone on the 6P. The digitizer/display assembly is attached to the subframe with glue and those parts are secured to the aluminum frame only at the top and bottom. So when bent the aluminum frame is the weakest link. The strongest part of the 6P's structure is the area covered by the battery. The cutouts for the buttons and finger print sensor which weaken the frame just happen to be above the uppermost part of the battery.
Here's the video that still came from.
Cases do not cause the ripple (bend). When the phone is flexed in the middle is when this ripple will occur, has nothing to do with a case. I had a few 6ps up until now, 2 of them had this ripple. One got rippled over time and one was rippled out of the box - Neither were ever in a case.
The one that was slightly rippled out of the box, I did my own testing. I flexed the phone in the middle one way, then back the other way. When I flexed away from the screen the ripple would tighten up. When I flexed the phone towards the screen the edge would ripple a great degree. No matter what I did I couldn't get it to completely straighten out but it was clear that there is a lack a rigidity along the right edge. This has absolutely nothing to do with using a case.

I've posted a thread on Reddit getting into more detail about the spontaneous crinkling of the area surrounding the power/volume buttons, but obviously as a newer user I can't post links.
After reading over some 20-30 different cases and having experienced the crinkling first hand...
I believe that it's related to case usage, but it might help to further narrow down the cause of this issue.
My theory is that since metal expands/contracts in varying weather, it is expanding to a size which is too large for the case it is fitted in, resulting in the metal crinkling in the spot where it has the least amount of structural support. For someone like myself who works in property management, I'm constantly moving back and forth between room-temperature environments and colder 40-50 degree weather. The plastic/TPU case may contract/expand as well, but not at the same rate or the same degree as the metal chassis.
If this issue has happened to you post what type of case you use if applicable and how long you've had your device. Post photos if necessary.
For example, the spontaneous crinkling looks like the photos here

Hello everyone, since this thread was closed, I thought I'd reopen the discussion.
I'm currently waiting for my preorder to ship, but as of right now there is no specified date in Spain (just mid April). So I thought I'd ask you guys:
What do you think of the build quality? Do you see any potential issues in the near future? I saw the video of that guy scratch his G5 body very easily with a box cutter, of course, it's a box cutter! But do any of you think that will actually chip or scratch with normal usage? Like in your pocket, leaving it on the table, in your bag with other things? I do this all the time with my G4, G3, and every other device, but I have never seen such a video that a guy can literally take off the entire layer with little effort.
So people with devices, have any of you noticed or felt like the primer layer is weak or fragile enough to chip, break off, crack or come off by itself with little effort or every day wear? I'm planning on keeping this device for at least a year! (And yes, a case is on its way, but sometimes I do like to move around without a case - after all, these phones are designed without a case in mind...)
Thanks
The coating seems pretty durable, but I always use a skin on the phone so when I go to sell it it's in mint condition when I peel that skin off. I also keep the pocket it rides in free of other objects. I am sure if you took a box cutter to any phone, it would cause damage.

That's good to know. I just felt like in the video it looked like it was very "soft" or malleable. I just wanted to see what actual owners thought about it . I'm excited to get mine!
It's durable so far. been putting in my pocket with keys and no scratches, dents or dings. Dropped twice off the back of my couch last night onto my hard wood floor and my heart skipped a beat - no damage at all.
I prefer no case. The only thing that will really f-up your phone is dust/dirt as it will scratch everything

There are reports in some threads about small drops and keys dinging and scratching the phone.
With that said, it mostly depends on how it falls. I've heard of people's G4 body/screen cracking from five foot drops onto carpet. I've accidentally tossed mine eight feet in the air and had it land face down on pavement without a scratch, and that was using a Rinke Slim case.

From what I gather you need to intentionally cut into the phone in order to chip. Falls may do it too

And just to add, the phone though light has a solid heft to it (if that makes any sense). All of this talk of it being plastic has me fuming. I tapped the back and sides of the phone lightly on my granite counter top and there is no way in hell plastic makes a sound like that. I tried the same with my G3 and there are 2 distinct sounds...

What people i hear are saying is it does not feel like metal in the hand. LG promised, LG lied, we are disappointed, bla, bla....
it would seem that reviewers are adamant we should live in a world where ALL phones are anodised 'premium' flat slabs !!
Some companies beg to differ.
What is so godamn premium about aluminium. Its the cheapest metal to use. Its soft and dents like anything.

How is the leather back on the G4 holding up after nearly a year. Corners still peeling but never went beyond. The leather changed colour. The back on this is harder than leather.
So I appear to have developed a small chip on the top left side. I have been extremely careful with this phone in every way. Always in an empty pocket and set down carefully. Might have to get it exchanged.

See that's the thing, I didn't coddle my G4. I liked the feel of the leather, and I'm absolutely certain that I have bumped into stuff while it is in my pocket, that's the facts of life. You can't really avoid that. What I saw in another review yesterday was that in 8 days the device began to chip at the bottom where the magic slot is located. That's from normal usage. I'm very inclined to give it a shot! I loved and still love my G4, but I'm worried that the G5 might not hold up past a few months without seriously degrading the build quality [emoji19]

My 2 samsungs are very resistant : the Note 1 has felt 3-4 times, and the borders have just a liitle impact on a corner.
The Note 3 et Note 1 's paint are ok since the first day, no scratches, and the screens are ok too, without protection (just flip cover)
Samsung's phone are strong, hoping my future G5 is too :-/

Samsung were very strong devices. The last two years have been very fragile if dropped. The S7E I have now feels like I need to keep it in a diaper... I could drop my note, note 2 or 4. LG G4 too! But if the G5 begins to chip soon after... For the love of God! Hopefully what people are saying is true: there is a factory that has issues, but it's one of the three that are producing! So that's good...

They aren't scratches, its a coating that is very easily scratched. Possibly only affects black units, could just be easier to see.

I heard that the camera lens is covered with Gorilla Glass 4, which would make it just as scratch resistant as most phones out there. It is, however, flush with the rest of the phone, so it could easily be scratched if not in a case.
I don't have any scratches. I just looked at it with my big magnifier lamp and not a single scratch.
I had a case before my phone came (like the OP in the link). I'm very gentle with my stuff though. Don't put it in pocket with keys. When it's in the purse, it's facing fabric.
Mine is scratched. Only went without a case for 2 days. I am also careful with my phone but it seems that simply setting it down on a table has scratched my camera glass. I can't believe it would scratch that easily.

You can still jump with minor nicks and scratches. That's considered normal wear and tear according to the jump guidelines.

Look at this durability video. Granite can supposedly scratch the lens if you're not careful. So yay it's not sticking out... but not strong enough to slide around.

They aren't scratches, its a ****ty coating as I just found out.
I used Mcguire's polishing compound on a Dremel polishing wheel at low speed and its all gone. The darkish coating came off and its perfect again. Looks brand brand new. I have no idea if it was anti glare, or was supposed to be removed before shipment. The picture quality seems the same.

With your mention of a coating, it's possible they put an oleophobic coating on the camera lens. I don't understand what else you would put on top of GG4.

Honestly, though I'm not saying you all don't have scratches, stuff like this comes up for just about every phone I've ever used. The last was the Note7 where people were claiming that GG5 was the softest material on planet Earth and scratched on denim. Now people are upset the G6 doesn't have GG5 on the front.
I literally just noticed it today. I also only went 2 days without the case. I thought there was a small piece of packing plastic on it. ?

Dumb question, but is it possible some of you are scratching lens when you have cleaned it with certain materials? For example, a napkin...
It reminds me of that coated feeling when you rub the readable side of a CD. I tried cleaning a game once with a paper towel and it gave it a million scratches which made it unreadable. It's possible this film is just as sensitive?

This surprises me. Mine has scratches as well.This must have happened before I put a case on my phone, and when I sat the phone on a surface with the camera side facing down
