Did you drop your Bionic yet?

[tevansny]

Haven't dropped mine yet. I did put it in an Otterbox defender case before i even booted the phone the first time. Do not want to take any chances.

The guy at Verizon tried to sell my a case and a screen protector.

I pulled out my OG Droid that I've had for 2 years and showed it to him, which looks new, and asked why I needed a case.

Then I took my keys out and tried to scratch the screen.

He shut up after that.

I can tell you first hand this thing is not nearly as strong as the OG.

a few close calls, a few catches inches away from the ground lol

Agreed, its all plastic. Except for the screen which I hope is the same quality.
Og Droid basically had a built in case!!

I'm on my 3rd Bionic already, and I had my OG from day 1 until I received my first bionic (Sep 8th). I dropped the first one (my fault) and the screen had a little scratch, but just a few hours later it turned into an entire crack from side to side. I then received my new Bionic and noticed a few days later that the camera lense is cracked...I'm guessing that is not Gorllia Glass. I had the new bionic in a huge Otterbox for 90% of the time, and I never dropped it, sat on it, or misused it. My new one should be in the mail today, and I'm scared to even use it.

I dropped my phone the day i put in an otterbox defender. Best money I have spent. I also have insurance on the phone incase of hardware issues.

The OB Defender does the job, but it's damn big. I hate the way it fits in my pocket, but I'll keep using it until I find a better case.

Exactly how I feel.

dropped mine day 2. wasn't wearing the otterbox defender that I bought with the phone (doesn't play well with extended battery, and is huge with it on). didn't spring for the insurance (i take extreme care of everything). dropped it on asphalt. it skidded about 2 feet on the glass.

when I felt it slip from my grasp, my sphincter was clenched so tightly you couldn't drive a sewing needle thru it with a sledgehammer. picked up the phone and saw no sign of damage on the screen. boogered up the lower left corner of the phone, but nothing serious

That was difficult to read.

Yes, difficult and hilarious. Well the description of your reaction was at least

I've dropped mine 3 times. Twice on concrete, once on carpet...all on the same day. Good news is there's just a tiny nick on the corner which means the case is somewhat helpful. I think I want a new case though because each drop was out off the case not my hand. Im using the slider clip they sell at vzw. It gets hung up on my shirt when I holster it which doesnt allow it to click all the way. don't like otterbox because its a bit too bulky but I moght have to do it

 

[BBBay]

Which brings up my next question.
I purchased the costco package which came with a case it has a metal clip. I would like to remove it and carry my purple gloved droid in the leather case. I will never where it. I'm thinking hacksaw any suggestions?

Just go naked, no clips to miss, no fat skins and the phone is the size it was meant to be.

I haven't dropped a phone in just over four years. The day I drop my unprotected Bionic, you'll read about it in the newspaper.

I paid $700 for the phone with tax and shipping but picked the cheap insurance. I wonder if I can still upgrade insurance.

Mine fell off of my bed. Even tho it was only a 3ft drop, my heart still skipped a beat I paid full retail for the phone.
