Default Galaxy SII Drop Test

So Squaretrade (I think?) did a drop test with the iPhone 4s vs Galaxy SII (not our version but they are similar in build I would assume). Be warned, it hurts to see our phone fall but it fared VERY well compared to the iPhone 4s.

You know that your vaping signature banner is setting off google chrome warnings? It doesn't want to let anyone access the page because apparently that site is known for distributing malware.

I did my own drop test yesterday. 2 ft right onto the upper left corner.

No issues other than a scuff mark!

Where the hell is my case I ordered?

i saw this vid a couple days ago. The test with the ipad, zoom, galaxy Tab was pretty cool too. These things are way too fragile.

I am happy to see that Samsung products had the best results. Take that iphoney

Thats cool the screen stood up to the test. The bezel can't pass my pocket test, there's already some substantial dings on mine and I baby my stuff. Way more prone to stuff like this than the Sensation was. Definitely get a case if you're questioning it........

I like to think of it this way: IPhones are more for young children, old people and those who are not technically inclined (and have no interest in being so)... Or for people who don't care about being able to customize or tweak it much on the software level, they just want it "to work".

That was painful to watch, even as much as I hate iPhones >.<

Iphones remind me of those brightly colored toy laptops from Toys R Us. Kids see mommy & daddy with their laptops & they want one too, but they can't quite handle a real computer so they just get a toy that makes them feel important
Buildings burn. People die. But real love is forever.

Galaxy Note II- LOVE
Galaxy Note- Well-loved but sold
Asus Transformer TF700T- FINALLY UNLOCKED!!!
HTC Evo View- rooted
HTC HD2- The little phone that could!!!

PS- I'm a girl. Just an FYI, before you call me bro :3
