So i just dropped my phone from head height onto a concrete floor
It slipped out of my hand while i was talking as i bumped into someone.
.

.

It survived! no marks, i'm not sure how it landed, but it was screen down on the floor when i found it.
Has anyone else dropped theirs and how has it managed? I'm sure we'd all like to know how much abuse it actually can handle.
same happens here...
and it dropped exactly the same way as yours did..haah
just like yours, no scratch and yet nth bad happened yet
Would have been even funnier if u were the one i bumped into lol
I think the cut off corners on the back really help. The back is heavier due to the battery and if it falls on a corner it seems to fall on the back cut off corner.
What a nightmare
i had 2 accidents. one of them "bent" the soft aluminum in the corner. still black and still working. the second one was so powerful that dissembled my diamond in 3 pieces: diamond (lol), cover and battery. i found the battery 2 meters from the disaster scene. this PDA seems to be a sturdy SOB..
any way, don't try this at home folks!!!1
Oh my preciousssss...

Nice to know it can survive a few knocks! It must have been one of those oh **** moments. Did the guy actually stop to apologise, I would have probably thumped him one, not that i advocate physically attacking someone LOL
So was it rough concrete, like paving stones, or something smooth like a tilled floor?
I sat in a recliner chair outside the other day and lay back. My diamond slipped out of my pocket onto a concrete floor from about a height of 30-40cm. There's now a small (very small) dent in the aluminium bit, bottom right, near the stylus slot.
It's hardly noticable, but I was gutted at the time!

lol, it was my fault actually.. i was to busy talking on the phone and not paying atention. It was a smooth concrete floor thankfully!
not a diamond but...
Twice now I've had accidents with my Polaris on the running machine. The phone was resting in the slot on the machine while I was running. I must have knocked the headphone cable or something because the phone got yanked from the slot, dropped (about chest height) onto the treadmill and went flying back into the wall behind. Not even a scratch!
OUCH!!
<10 chars>
dropped mine from waist height....
my waist is probably higher than most of your ears lol JOKE lol again but anyways I got a little tiny scratch on the stylus....I guess thats why they give you 2 of those puppies....I love it. You know its a little heavier than most pdas from the metal frame but yes its a tough SOB and also I heard that the screen is made of some kind of really special plexiglass to prevent cracks. I heard you can drop it from a two story building and the glass will not crack!!! I would definately not try this at home but its what I heard....
I dropped it on the way back from the pub!!
The metal bezel now has three deep lines in it on the front side under the hardware buttons Fortunatly its still black
The top of the bezel on the front also has 3 scartches which have exposed the silver metal underneath.
what a disaster!
You remember that James Bond Movie with the evil guy having Diamonds in his face?
Well, my device slipped out of my hands , glided a meter or 2 on the parking ground and has now similar small dots (diamonds) on the lower part and casing.
But no worries, I gonna let "tune" paint & polish my Diamond.
They ask 150 NTD (5US) for refurbushing a PDA phone here
You guys gave me the creeeepssss.
Hmm i thought it was just me at first, but i've been checking all day, and my touch screen has become ALOT more sensative since the drop.
I actually had a phone call and while trying to fumble to pick up the call i dropped the phone. When i picked it up the touchscreen wouldnt work. After a reboot it was fine again. Now the lightest touch registers on the screen. Very wierd, but the scartches almost seem worth it to have it working so well.
I hope it doesnt die on my now :s

Was at a football game last Sunday & dropped my phone on the ground. It must of fell out of my lap when I jumped up to cheer. Now that hurts! I've been babying it too. Oh well, it was bound to happened sooner or later.
Now my Tilt has scratches on the left & right bottom corners. I was thinking about taking a fine grade of sandpaper & sanding it down. Has anyone tried smoothing out a ding on there phone before. If so, what did you use?
I just recently found a small nick on the top corner of my Tilt. I'm assuming I got it the same day I dropped it. That means my phone must of cart wheeled before falling on its back! *OUCH, That hurts literally!*

Thanks for the link! It's good to know that they sell the OEM casing. It's not cheap though.
I dropped mine for the first time on Saturday night. I almost cried, haha. I have one ding on the bottom corner, towards the back, by the stylus.
I've been doing really well, considering that I usually drop a new device a day or two after getting it.
Last week, however, I was showing off the camera album feature to my sister-in-law and she just had to have a go herself.
Cue my lovely Vario III hitting the ground a second later.
No damage at all though, so I've forgiven her!

How funny that's where mine got scuffed up too, right next to the stylus. I was hoping the stylus was the one that substained the damage so I can chage it out. Mine also got scuffed up on the bottom left hand side. It bounced around first before laying on the ground. For the weight and size of this phone I was expecting more damage from the fall.
I guess the more your carefull not to drop the phone the more prone it is to happened.

I dropped mine couple of weeks ago... I was doing a research paper for my university, and papers were all over the place... and sadly my TyTN II was between two papers... so when I pulled one of them... the device flew in the air and landed on the floor... fortunately there was a thick carpet on the floor... thus no harm is done... but during the next five min while I was checking if my phone is still working... I was so pale and scared :s
Man! I hope this does not happen to any of you guys...
Cheers
dropped mine after 2 weeks of having it - i was jogging to the bus at the time - fumbled it out of my belt ouch and dropped it - i accidentally stamped on it at the same time, on rough knobly tarmac, face-down - i skidded a bit on it too, sort of like a sktebaord - i was like 'omgomgomg' picked it up and by some sort of miricle the screen was untouched - fascia is a bit knacked but it all works just fine, only thing is the tilt mechanism is a bit loose now though its still sturdy (ie i can push the top right side and the screen bit will angle slightly against the body, but only by a few millimetres)
Coming Soon...

This will cover any damage to the case and protect it.
I was running into work in a heavy rain carrying a large laptop bag, so I was running fairly spastic, and my Tilt popped out of the case, slid face down on the sidewalk into a puddle. The battery popped out, as well as the stylus. I grabbed all I could find (had to go back later to find the stylus) and shook it out. Then I used a heat gun to gently warm the unit up. after 2 hours, I put the battery back in and it powered up fine, except the touchscreen was dead.
I then left it on my desk on charge with bluetooth, 3g,Wlan and screen full bright on, to generate as much internal heat as possible. After another 2 hours, the touch screen would randomly activate items on the today screen, every minute or so. After watching that for an hour with no real response from the touchscreen yet, I power cycled the phone, and to my surprise, the touch screen worked. Been working ever since.
Luckily the battery poped out otherwise I would think the device would have got fried?
Well, as idiotic as it may sound, I did put the battery back in and power up the phone while it was wet. It seemed to boot up just fine, but I pulled the battery after 15 seconds as to not push my luck.
My Drop . . .
I was running up stairs in my office building (concrete with metal stairstep edging), when something (my Tilt OMG!) suddenly clattered onto the stairs - apparently I had not made sure the magnetic flap on my case was firmly connected - it popped open and the SIM card holder popped out - I fearfully picked it up and inspected - can't find a scratch on it! and it works fine, and nothing seems loose! I'm shocked, surprised and pleased, but will be more careful in the future, obviously (in almost 2 years with my Wizard, I never once dropped it!).
Try to burnish the scuffed areas with a smooth piece of plastic. Start slow and it might kind of fill in by smoothing the rough edges. Kind of like a good paint job on an auto, get it flat as possible and it will shine like a diamond in a goats A*s.
Dropped my 8525 a couple of times and fixed it as mentioned above. Dropped my tilt the first day and it missed the concrete by a fraction of an inch and landed on carpet. Lucky for me only the back flew off and my great little toy is unmared so far.
The older I get the less my hands seem to be actually connected to my body and under my control...
Did I mention I love my tilt and this site?

What kind of plastic are you using?
I tried using some Brasso Metal Polish, but it didn't do anything for it. The Brasso would work on scratches, but I have chunks missing from the plastic on my Tilt & dings. I'm willing to try anything as long as I don't harm my baby! I already feel like she's been abused! LOL!

Does AT&T do exchanges on accidental drops. What about if its passed the 30day window from the say you pruchased it?
Did you guys notice there is a crack on the upper face of the phone right above the ear speaker and the small camera?
Well the thing is that if you carry your baby around in your pocket then its highly probable that a lot of crud and dirt will get stuck in that little crack.
So cleaning the crack at least once a week with a needle or something would be great maintenance.
Cheers boys.

Ummm - nope! No crack here. None that I can see with my bare eye, at least.
Cant see no crack on mine either...unless your talking about the gap between the body of the phone and the screen??..if so thats normal, every Diamond is like that and i suppose in time it will gather some crud and dirt there but then you can either clean it out or get a case that would cover that part.

mine shoot of my fingers today while walking my dog
luckly mine was in a Crystal clear hard plastic case...
which broke but saved the phone
have ordered a silicon case for it
had one on my trinity and never dropped it once
you have been warned...
the diamond is one slippery bugger!
one time, slipped out the htc leather case, barely any marks. i was quite supprised when the device hit the pavement, it sounded soo solid and didnt fly apart like every other phone when its dropped.

I created a safety net in case I drop the Diamond.
I use an invisible fishing wire to connect the Diamond (through the lanyard hole), to my jeans' belt hole.
The wire is 1 feet, which gives all the extension I need for comfortable usage.
I have a BT headset so I don't need it to reach my ear.
It's really slippery. For this reason, I'm holding the Diamond differently than any other phone when I'm carrying it around. I always have my index finger holding the top while I have the rest in my palm. It's tough to describe, but it's the only way to stop my salary from hitting the pavement.
Dropped it twice. Nothing happened to it. Will order a case for it soon though

Cheers boys (Saturday, time for beer)
Got mine on a long lanyard around my neck after a couple of small drops to a carpeted floor form the sofa! It is light enough not to break my neck.
I think a bungee elastic would be better than fishing line, so I've made this one.
Now when I drop it, it springs back up to my ear, and I can carry on talking
I'm also working on a small app which uses the g-sensor to detect if it is falling to the ground at 150 mph, and if so it will automatically text my supplier for a new phone to be sent out, and all my contacts to say that I'll be unavailable for a few days.
mine slipped from my hands but luckily before it hits the ground, i held on to the phone strap i attached onto it.. saved my heart from shattering together with the jewel.. keke
I applied a fullbody InvisibleShield, it ain't slippery anymore.

I always "think" before I pull out the Jewel.

Few decices can pull this offff!!!
I'm 5'7"ish, and had the phone held around my chest. Slipped out my hand and hit the floor, carpet. Would any problems occur from that drop/fall?
You tell us, does anything seem to be wrong?
Personally I've dropped this phone a hundred times on carpet and it's always fine. Hell, it's had a few run ins with pavement and it's good. More than I can say for my iPhone RIP.

Due to the gforces of the sudden deceleration, a problem may occur where the once seperate chemicals in the battery cell may have combined. There is now a very high risk of explosion.
However, there is a fairly simple workaround. While holding the phone upside down in your left hand, hop in a counterclockwise direction singing your country's national anthem backwards while hitting yourself on the head with a shoe. Hope this helps.
I've done worst with my stolen diamond...
I can remember it clearly as yesterday...
The Diamond was brand new: one of the first phone with G-sensor, so I installed the mighty app that turn is in a lightsaber!
Well, after 5 or 6 swing it slipped from my hand hitting the highest part of the door and then falling to the ground...
Not even a scratch!!!

Thank you sir, for starting my day with a bellyful of laughter.
Otoh, if it works, do a reboot and check it out again, if its ok, then I guess its ok. I fumbled in catching my phone thrown to me from the first floor, fell and hit the gravel/mud berm/sidewalk of the driveway. Slight unpeeling of the black enamel of the aluminium bezel at the top left corner (on the front side) just near the headphone socket, but still working for almost a year now....

Speaking of dropping the phone.. I had dropped the phone from bike and it has scratches around the front side black panel part.. and I wish to replace it.. Can the cover be available?? I mean like the complete black part??
The incredible S is very durable and you shouldn't be too afraid of dropping your phone Im not saying that you're need to drop your phone all the time.
I had dropped it on concrete road , and its still fine though with few scratches

Well, I dropped my phone a few days after I bought it, and the light sensor went caput.. The guys at the service center replaced it with a new phone for me though. Of course, I had not rooted the phone then - not sure if they are ok with replacement and stuff if the phone is rooted..

I dropped mine a week or two ago on a ceramic floor while sitting down. My heart stopped beating as I hopelessly saw it fall to the ground but was rejoiced when I saw it didn't even have a ding!
I've dropped phone alot. The worst scenario which happened was 3 months ago.
I was waiting teacher on 4th floor and sit on bench while touching phone then i put hand on stair's waiting and hands were little sweaty and it dropped. I was like wtf?! Surely it's on first floor and burst into little pieces (I did get mini heart attack). Instantly i went downstairs and phone was laying on 3rd floor and seemed to be in one piece. Then I pressed power/sleep button. Everything worked. it did get a little scratch on it's drake, nothing major. It's still a mystery how did the phone get from 4th to 3rd , probably a 1/100 epic bounce and it fell like 3,5m to concrete stone floor. Even battery cover was attached. Seriously it's as tough as Nokia 3310. So that's my story, I'm very sleepy, and It's all true amazing, uh? Using Nik rom for now and I'm typing this on my HTC Incredible S
So last night I dropped my phone for the first time. There was this pan sticking out from the table that was very hot and I moved my hand really fast away from the pan and my phone went flying out of my and the worst part my phone hit the floor. No cracked screen Damage wasn't bad but I have these light scratches on the screen and one little scratch on the top left conner of the phone. The drop was bad and I'm surprised the damage wasn't greater then it was. Anyone else drop there phone yet? The scratches are so light I think i can buff them out with wax but will that mess up the coating on the gorilla glass? What's everyones input or stories?

Let's hope it never happens to you such a beautiful phone to have digs and scratches.
I dropped mine last nite. I was sitting on a chair on the patio smoking, and I was asked to do something. I forgot that the phone was in my lap and stood up. It flew across the patio landed on cement, slid, and I cringed.
Picked it up and not a scractch. SOOOo happy.
I spent like 20 minutes going over it with a fine tooth comb too.
:fingers-crossed:
At least it didn't crack! The first drop is always the hardest. But hell, its a phone this won't be the first scuff/scratch/ding you're gonna get on it.

Anyone know if I buff the scratches out with wax if it will mess up the coating on the gorilla glass? Cause right now the finger prints don't show but I'm guessing its the coating.

Bro that looks good! Honestly theres noting wrong with damaging your phone as long as its not too bad. Before you could re sell phones but with this starting out so cheep I doubt it's even worth being extra careful with it. Whats the point of having the inconvenience of a case for an entire year when you're probably just going to move on anyways? And like I said, that is minor damage, I wouldn't hardly stress it.
That's not that bad! Though consider yourself lucky as there are people who have cracked/shattered phones and they have no idea why...
Mine slid off of my desk twice yesterday. Which is strange because I never thought my desk was slanted.
dropped mine from waist height onto hard wood floor, no marks.

Mine slid off of my desk twice yesterday. Which is strange because I never though my desk was slanted.

Not only is the nexus 4 a smartphone, but now you can use it to measure levels!! That's innovation right there

So last night I dropped my phone for the first time. There was this pan sticking out from the table that was very hot and I moved my hand really fast away from the pan and my phone went flying out of my and the worst part my phone hit the floor. No cracked screen Damage wasn't bad but I have these light scratches on the screen and one little scratch on the top left conner of the phone. The drop was bad and I'm surprised the damage wasn't greater then it was. Anyone else drop there phone yet? The scratches are so light I think i can buff them out with wax but will that mess up the coating on the gorilla glass? What's everyones input or stories?

Imagine that! Some people ate getting cracks from placing then shown softly. Others are getting started that apart out of nowhere. You actually drop yours and the glad is totally in fact and fine! I don't know how that weak gorilla glass could stand up to it! You should post this in that weak gorilla glass thread.
Seriously though, I am glad your phone did not sustain to much damage. I know even a small ding hurts but think of how much worse it could have been.

I dropped mine twice yesterday. First it slid off the arm of a chair. Then I pulled it off my night table with the headphone cord doh! Not a mark on it though

Doesn't look bad.....
You can sell it on eBay for $550 and buy a new one.
