Sensation. Sturdy Device?

[liaobp1983]

I'm still not convince sensation being sturdy device. Can sensation users share their horrible accidents with their sensation? Did your phone make it? is it still alive like nothing happen?

I'm pretty disappointed.... The battery cover (bottom right) is loose, and getting worse. So when I type the phone kind of gives a bit, and makes a slight creaking noise.

Most likely returning for new this weekend.

I've never had the "creak" that some people have. Then again, I've never used this without it's case....which I'm sure holds it tight.

Just one of the many inherent risks with purchasing any device.

I must say the device feels really solid. In fact I find it much more solid than my MT4G. I have not dropped it if that's what your asking. I don't have any loose feeling or creaking in mine.

I literally dropped my phone three times last night at the bar and I have no visible marks. Gut wrenching but I'm glad to see that it can take a drop. Kudos to HTC.

I would say that its a sturdy device... Very nicely built...

The first one I had which I returned for dust under the screen, I dropped at a bar (this seems to be a commonality) and kicked it simultaneously across the floor. Ran to pick it up and it was still as good as new

i was traveling recently and had it on my lap. i stepped out of the truck(F150) and it fell onto the asphalt and slid sum..all i could find damage wise was a little nick in the corner. size of a pin hole. i thought for sure i had road rash and a cracked screen. this was without the cover i have on it now.

held up great!!

If I press the screen hard (not damaging hard) you hear a creek. I dropped it, being drunk, and the grey "metal" is plastic so it removed the paint. Just a tiny drop sized thing. It's a sturdy phone overall. Reminds me of the mytouch 4g and nexus one.

Yea, my second unit had the same creak issue and I just returned it to Walmart. I couldn't deal with it, especially on such a beautiful phone. I'm really anal bout my phones. My one year old HD2 still looks like it came from the factory, no shiitin! I'll be getting a new unit through customer care once they fkin replenish their warehouse.

Tough phone

I hit mine off a pool table with a pint glass and it slid across a slate tile floor(screen down) and still looks like new.

I was recording a video on mine and a friend waved her hands frantically, and catapulted my sensation out of my hands where it landed about 3 or 4 meters away on concrete. Not a blemish on the device and it actually managed to continue recording video throughout the trauma!

I went to a friends party and we were comparing phones, he has the mt4g, and we were both pretty drunk. We both somehow accidentally dropped our phones and my sensation, with no case, had no damage at all. His mt4g, with a case, has a completely shattered screen.

I have the creak issue and it changes where it creaks each time I take the back of the phone off and put it back on again.

i haven't had an accident with it but , i don't know, to my eyes it looks fragile. but hey i come from a hd2. you can kill a man with that MOFO. lol

I dropped mine from standing on the asphalt, and it has a pretty good size chip in the paint, but other than that nothing. Dropped my mt4g from lower and cracked the screen. Pretty sturdy imo
