S6/S6 Edge VIOLENT drop test

[Inders99]

And yet one of the reviewers from the Android Authority (I think it was them, not 100% sure tho) had his phone just tip over from a resting position and cracked the camera glass.

This year, I'm not sure if I'm going with a case. I've never owned a phone without a case.
Went from the Big OtterBox cases down to the slimmer ones.
presently have the Spigen Slim Armor
Want to use the Charging pad.
That really appeals to me.
Really like carrying the phone with no case. Like the Feel. See a lot of people doing it.

Will probably transfer the insurance from the OL phone to mine.
If I break it, I will just go get another one.
It ain't like I've never broke anything before.

Very impressive. Still not rocking mine naked. But good to know it can take some bumps.

Someone needs to find out who that woman is, so everyone knows to never EVER give her their phone to play with...

Not only am I going case free, I'm not even gonna be careful with it.

 

[MaxPower203]

Meh. Wanna impress me? Drop it on one of it's corners and see how it fares. XD

I'm imagining all kinds of situations to associate with this video and its too funny

- Found out her boyfriend cheated on her
- Found out she didnt make the cheerleading squad
- She read on Samsung Magazine app that Justin Beiber cancelled his tour
- She just realized she forgot to eat breakfast this morning
- She realized that she got the S6 Edge instead of the regular S6

...and if the original video was in anything higher than 240p, perhaps we could actually see what the damage was!

I'm not even close to being careful with mine. It's been dropped/thrown more times than I can remember, all that with a thin case.

According to Andrew in his Q&A sticky, cases even like the Defender should have no issues with wireless charging or NFC/MST.

so powerfull. but i will not try it...

Did anyone else cringe watching this? I can't believe it didn't crack at all. Seriously, though. I'm still pained by watching it.

You might not be better off watching the Corning Gorilla Glass 4 youtube video.

Not worried about dings on corners with a Defender case. Remember it is aluminum not steel. There are bound to be dings.

At first, it looks edited, but watching it again made it seem more real. The video of her picking it up the second time is fluid. Good to know, but, as Android Authority apparently learned, the camera sticks out and it is NOT gorilla glass.

I rarely have a case in my S5,but I was going to on the 6 due to all the glass. Maybe not now, maybe just a bumper to protect the metal from dings.

...and that plastic camera wart is HUMONGOUS. I mean big. Really big. They should have used sapphire on the wart's glass. I think Apple uses sapphire on the 6/6+ blister.

Rugged cases like the Defender mitigate the wart.

True. ...but how many wanna put an ugly (just my opinion) Otterbox Defender on such an otherwise nice looking phone? There are plenty of other choices for nice cases that are protective enough for most.

Totally agree. Just partial to the Defender. Hopefully, in the next iteration the wart will be flush with the back panel which I hope is GG or aluminum.

Agree...I'd pay for a few new phones before I lug around a clunker. To each their own tho, that's why there's so many case options out there.
