Droid maxx durability

[johnnyshinta]

How durable do you think it is? I'm constantly getting pounced on by my dogs. Think it's durable enough to handle that for 2 years?

That's the selling point of the Moto Droids, in my opinion. Kevlar and Gorilla Glass 2 or 3 depending on who's telling the truth make it one durable phone.

Whether you have pugs or bull mastiffs would be good to know. If it's more similar to the latter, I would just get a tech skin for the screen. For extra protection a case will make it pretty bomb proof (if you want to go that far). But the build quality by itself is pretty tough.

Good point. They are each 20 pounds

Option #2: Train the dogs not to pounce on you.

My 90lb lab tried that once as a puppy...... once, and only once.

That's good. They jump on us a lot so it was a concern when I had the gs4. Had to have a case but I would prefer not to use one with the maxx

I just brought one home and it feels as durable as my last two maxx's. I never have had a case on any of them and I've never had any issues. I did buy a bumper case for this new one from Verizon. I really like it. It adds almost no extra bulk but looks like it would help it in a fall.

I returned the bumper case. It did not feel premium and cheapened the over all experience of such a well built handset. IMO

My dogs are always jumping on me or bumping my arm really hard while I'm using the phone. Sometimes they bump the actual phone.
