Your first drop

Well I had mine today.
I knew it would come as I started to use this tab more and more for my only device. I was trying to get it into a coat pocket that was a bit tight and wham, before I knew it I saw it crashing onto a sidewalk FACE down.
I cringed as I watched it bounce. I didn't hear the screen hit the ground even though it bobbled around face down a few times so i was a bit relieved, but I was still worried picking it up as it hit a corner first.
Happy to say it came through scratch free.
I bought a simple cheap case that does not add much in size and has good grip.
Here it is if anyone is interested. The stylist doesn't work that well and I haven't put the screen protector on yet, but after today I will.

I dropped mine on day one as I hadn't put it into my pocket properly, small ding in the corner. I was not happy.
I managed to leave it on the car roof the other day, it fell off & got ran over by 2 cars before it was retrieved, the case mostly saved it, a bit of the plastic on the other corner is damaged, but it still works fine and the glass is unmarked. A bit of touch-up and it's not a big deal.
Good build quality!
my 5 yr old dropped it 2x times already but its taking it great no scratches or anything
Just like my Galaxy S, the Tab too has been on "Extreme Adventure's"!
The SGS has been seen to slide off a kitchen work surface onto a stone floor and shoot out of my car window (after leaving my dashboard at warp 5.0) onto the road....
The Tab has shown great tenacity in following the SGS enduring 'blind maneuvers' by being sat-upon, knocked off a desk and found in an argument with one of my dogs (my grand daughter had been using the App 'Talking Tom' and put the Tab down to then come out and join me in the next room but left Talking Tom waiting for the next voice to come forth.... It did in the guise of Rags, one of our dogs who took an instant dislike to his barks & growls being played back by Talking Tom the Cat)!!
Thank goodness for Gorilla Glass and the Ebay case's I purchased....
I've decided to get the Otterbox Defender case to prevent any accidental drops and hating myself afterward!

I've dropped mine around 4 times so far - the worst being off a shelf around 4 feet high onto a fairly hard bathroom floor. So far it's survived intact - unlike an iPad one of my kids dropped and which now has a nice dent in the aluminium. Maybe plastic was a better materials choice after all....

What case are you using for the times you plan on dropping the case on purpose.
Sorry couldn't resist.
Dropped mine while on a call, it had a gel skin and screen protector so i though it was ok, continued the call but the other person said they could not hear me very well after the drop. I was devestated and thought it would have to go for repair.
Looking at it after the call i noticed the case had come apart near the microphone, i carefully with light pressure snapped the front and back casing back together and now everything if working perfectly and calls are clear again. Phew!

I don't believe this.
I dropped mine on my way out my front door the other day. Luckily it was in a padded sleeve that I had just bought the day before from Walmart. No damage, but it got me thinking about what could have happened if it wasn't in the sleeve. The only protection it has when it's in use is a Zagg Invisibleshield and Zaggskin. Great for scratch protection, but there's no shock protection. So I've ordered an Otterbox for it. I'm sure it'll be tested at some point.
Dropped mine once and ordered the otterbox

Same here - is there any source for spare parts already?
Dropped mine glass side down on the corner of a metal box. Destroyed the antiglare cover.. my heart was in my throat while I removed it to see if there was permanent damage and to my surprise not a scratch.
Very resistant device
Scratch on the frame
Dropped mine first face down on a tiled floor. No problem. The Gorilla glass is great. Second incident was not so much a drop as an unforseen injury. My Tab was naked in my big old Samsonite wheel bag for a longhaul flight while I slept and the top edge of the frame was pushed by the other stuff in the bag against a metal rivet head inside the bag. The result is 2 little patches of scribble in the coating near the head phone jack. I can confirm the frame is aluminium.
Any reccomendations as to the neatest touch up?

Pimping The Otter Box

Just pimping the Otter Box Commander case, I put it in the sink to make it louder while i was in the shower, my roomate came in and turned on the water and it hit the Bionic but all the water sheeted off the phone but it hit the speaker on top. Because the case is so well built, there is no water damage to the phone. +1 for the case.

Waterproof/Water Resistant Case

Are there any cases that are water proof or water resistant? The Otterbox Defender case says that it is not protective against water.

I think something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Waterproof-Case-Pouch-for-LG-G2-Transparent-EX-/200968408213?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item2ecaa68c95 is going to be about it for now.

I've used this kind of waterproof pouches and they really do work flawlessly, they are incredibly convenient for trips to Sea World, Disneyland and Waterparks, however they're kinda disposable after using for a few days!
Word of caution!
No matter if you use them in water parks, pools or sea and wash them thoroughly after each use, they will eventually leak after just a few uses. So be careful and use common sense. Don't submerge them more than a few feet. They work best for splashes, pool area, rain, etc, but not under water!
Tip: Try not to take your phone in and out many times during each use. Remember, it's just a glorified sandwich bag, it uses the same kind of Ziploc (TM) to seal, but the corners (where both sides of the ZipLoc meet, degrade quickly).
Cheers!

My G2 Nano technology screen protector

Hi, a few days ago I bought and applied this nano technology screen protector on my g2
Anyone has try it?
Is it really scratch resistant up to 9H???
I just bought it because it seem convincing,
and many of my friends use it too
And they scratch their screen with keys to prove it to me....
And it really had no scratch..
I'm just curious
This curiosity killing me'
http://www.liquid-kristall.com/en/home/1-0.html
I'm not promoting. I'm asking...
I had my doubt, and curious badly..
Maybe I should try scratching my G2 glass with key to prove it...
Hahahahahaha
You promoting or what? Can you show the demo please..

Looks like they are made by a japanese company and they have some crazy s***! I saw a screen protector that literally looked like it was made out of water. They tried scratching a phone screen protector with a brillo pad and also with a steel wire brush but the screen protector just "formed" back like it absorbed the scratched.
This stuff looks like the hybrid nano ceramic car paint sealants you can buy. They basically form a glass layer over your paint that makes it extremely smooth and water resistant.
However, although very hard its also very very thin. Its resistant to minor scratching from grit and sand under low pressure, but it wont protect from a drop onto gravel like a plastic protector will.

thanks for the insight...
so it's still better to use plastic screen protector..
what brand that can you recommended for me???
This looks neat
This really isnt going to protect very much at all. All it does is make the surface slick so that most abrasive things slide rather than dig in.
All ive ever used is cheap screen protectors from eBay, packs of 5 or 10 for a few $ or £. Expensive ones are no better and the wet ones are hard to fit, sticky and wont protect any more anyway.
I think unnecessary, just advertising ..

KAMII Waterproof case?

Has anyone used this case? It looks a LOT like a Lifeproof case, it says it is IP68 waterproof.
http://goo.gl/j2GtpI

Comes with a kickstand on the back, free your hands with horizontal viewing when watching movie. Make it more enjoyable and sound quality can be more clearer

I have used this brand before (the chili pepper is familiar not the name), with my Note 3 last year and it works, as long as you are still careful with your device and don't RELY on just the case. The waterproofing works fine as I shot video and captured sound under water both in great quality; however, if the case takes a hit or two, the corners cracked for me, potentially killing the water proofing...I never tested that out tho
To add more information to the post; even the dots on the side of the case were a nice feature as they are rubber and added a slight amount of grip to the case. The plastic used was very stiff and felt solid, but that was its weakness as well. It was air tight, but like I mentioned earlier, it wouldn't "give" or withstand a solid blow to the corners, resulting in a thin crack, which compromised the whole case. I was careful with the case and took my phone kayaking many times so I would give a thumbs up for the water proof part for sure. Hope this addition helps!
Note: This is basically a review of an identical case for the note 3, I have NOT tested this exact case.
