Anyone dropped it yet?

Can't speak for the 22 ultra yet but my note 20 ultra I've dropped so many times I lost count from like 4 feet up on to tile and wood floor. I have this sleeping issue lately where I'll get up and have my phone in my hand and as I'm using it I'll fall asleep and boom down the phone goes. Tell you what I've had the Spigen hybrid clear case has saved the phone. No damage what do ever. So yeah kinda fear when I switch over to the 22 ultra.

The only two phones I ever sold with visible micro scratches were the s21 and pixel 6. Victus is not good at preventing micro scratches. So a screen protector is a must.

You advised me to change my "no screen protector" rule...and I am this time, but not because of Victus, because Gorilla glass is not all that scratch/crack resistant period. My S21 Ultra has a few tiny micro scratches, and I have no idea how. You still have to be mindful of how you treat your device. But this time I'm going to be using leather cases, in addition to my regular lineup, and there's not much to them when it comes to protection. They look really good, and I like the feel.

Corning sucks. They promise new and improved protection and it's the same as it's always been.

Lol...yep.

I went from release day to last week with my Note 20 Ultra with no screen protector, and just a few micro scratches that annoyed me, but I could live with them since they were not visible when the screen was on. I spent most of my time with very minimal cases, or just my Dbrand skin...

Of course it depends on how you treat your phone. If you need a screen protector, by all means get one. I would rather have micro scratches than the horrible FPS experience I had with the WSD; and I could not stand the edges of the screen protector interfering with my edge panel, and the horrible cutout around the front camera.

So again, YOU should do what works for YOU, but don't try to tell everyone else what they need to do.

I haven't dropped mine yet, but I've come close several times. I've been using smaller more narrow phones recently, so adjusting to this big boy is taking time.

I just dropped mine face down on the bathroom floor. The sound that came out of my face alerted everyone in the house. Lol

That sucks. Did you have a case on it? I assume the floor is relatively flat so the raisivity (lol) of the top and bottom lip would have hopefully spared the screen.

Yes I have a case on it. The phone is fine. Yep the raisivity helped. Lol

Well you did say you put it in the box until your case came! Glad it survived the fall. Good call!

I dropped mine about 3 feet on concrete with the flip case on it. It landed face first, I have a small deep scratch the size of a pin needle. I'm so salty.

I dropped mine in the toilet. Ugh. All is well tho! Water didn't get under the case. I pulled the spen no water and never got the water warning. Whew. I have never done that before.
