Was it a drop? A light bump? Did you have any protection on device? Top, bottom, or sides? Pretty useless thread without any details.




good day.

PICS OR GTFO



But seriously, it would be nice to know what caused it so we all know just how fragile these things are. I'm real careful with mine, but if you dropped it while taking a dump or something, I'm investing in some fully body armor...

It slipped out of my hands grabbing it off the desk cradle late at night. Hit my roomates fridge, my fridge, and my bed before landing face down on the tile. 5 foot drop. No protection. I use a silicon case to give it some bulk during the day, not at night. Tiny chip... period sized. On the screen.

That sucks man. I dropped mine the other day getting out of my car, and as it fell to the asphalt it felt like slow motion. Luckly for me there wasn't even a scratch...

It's not dumb to know what these phones can and can't take.

So really, it's your comment that's dumb.

It's called GENERAL CHAT. If you don't like GENERAL CHAT then don't come into this sub forum, it's really not that complicated of a concept.

I'm rocking a silicon case on mine right now, makes it a bit more sticky and bigger. I wasn't ever able to use the tiny buttons before, lol.

Exactly, I use my phone a lot in class to surf the web and supplement the lecture. (I'm a geek get over it) I also leave it on vibe. Not only was the vibe incredibily loud plastic on desk or book, but since the back is so slippery it would easy move around and not stay put.

The silicon case let's it grip the surface its on and drastically quiets the vibe noises. It also gives it some bulk which I quite appreciate when carrying it around
