Can a Tilt survive a Motorcycle Accident? Yes it can.

Better than the bike apparently...
I was involved in a Motorcycle accident this afternoon. A Kia Sportage decided she wanted to take a left into incoming traffic even though I had the right of way.
Luckily I escaped with only a sprained wrist and some scratches on my arm (miraculously, as I flew off the bike and rolled several times). My bike was not so lucky. I don't know if it's totalled... but it isn't drivable.
My Tilt flew probably another 30 feet inside it's Seido Rubberized Case and Holster.
It appears to be virtually unscathed. The case and holster has a few small scratches on it. But until I do further testing it appears the phone is good!
I highly recommend the Seido Case if you plan on getting into any motorcycle accidents!

You're lucky that the sprained wrist is all you managed to get in your fall. Good that your Tilt is a-ok but if I had a bike accident it would be the last thing I'd be worried about! Were you wearing leathers or similar? What kind of bike were you on?
I'm a few months away from buying from a '08 Ninja 250 or an '08 KLR 650, depending on my budget. I'm a little reluctant because riding is inherently dangerous, but ah, so enjoyable, not to mention that my 11MPG truck + 120 mile commute daily = i die a little at the pump. daily.

Crash!

Certainly don't plan on it, but good to know about the durability of said items. Hope your body durability is equal. I had a similar accident once (going 70 mph when someone turned left across my path, skidded 127 feet before I hit him) - felt reasonably OK the first day, but was sore as hell after 2 days! So, my advice - get lots of rest, take lots of NSAIDS.

glad to hear you're OK; it must be a real nice case!

I am glad to know that youare OK. I got rid of my bike about two years ago after t-bone'n a soccer mom. Be careful out there and get some rest.

I also am glad you are ok with no major injuries.
When I read your post, I had flashbacks to 1976...when I had a car turn in front of me. I also flew, did flips in the air and the only reason I was OK was that I landed on someone's front lawn. I didn't have a helmut on and my Honda was totaled.
The next several days will be more difficult than today. Take care of yourself and rest. You are going to be sore--very sore.

Yeah. Thanks all for the support.
I was just in jeans and a t-shirt. so all the more miraculous how unscathed I am. At this point I'm waiting for insurance to investigate evertyhing and hoping the estimate doesn't come back "totaled" as that won't be enough to replace the bike.

Let me testify that a Tilt can survive a keg stand too ;-)

Screw the MC. I got rid of mine a while back. People cant drive anymore. They dont care if your on a MC or not. They dont even look anymore. I had a MC wreck and was lucky with minor injuries but I was sore as hell for at least a week. Once the adrenaline wears off, the pain creeps in. I highly suggest lots of Advil or Excedrin. Take the insurance $ and get a big as hell truck. That way, tho other vehicles reap the pain and not you.
Seriously, keep moving so the pain won't creep in too bad. If not, things will just hurt more.

Yeah, I refuse to drive my bike to/from work simply because I know i'll get hit... friggin people expect a bike to fly or something and they try to move right into you... even when you leave it at 4,000 rpm's and make lots of noise...

Yeah...I keep giving people too much credit. I'd like a big truck, but it's not too conducive to city living.
Luckily I was at the gym this morning and was stretched out pretty well which probably helped not strain anything else too bad.
If the bike comes back totaled and I just get a check I'm not sure what I will do. My g/f was right behind me on her bike...so she won't have a riding partner if I give it up.
Depending on how long it all takes with the insurance I might not need to make a decision until next summer.

HaHaHa, I bought a (not-so-big) truck after getting rif of my bike. I never bought the wife a bike because she could never get comfortable in traffic when two-up. Chicago is miles better that Baton Rouge though. You are sooo close to the home of Harley and people are just a bit more aware.

Thank god the Tilt is OK!!!!!

lol im just kidding. thank god your ok too lol.
im sure if your tilt wasnt in a case then it wouldnt be ok.

Seriously...My bike has insurance... but they wouldn't cover any personal property that was also damaged in the accident.
Even if the other driver is found to be at fault (which the should be...but we all know how that goes..) I'm sure the rinky dink insurance company they are with isn't going to cover it either.

glad to hear your ok..
however, if your willing to try to get e new phone... someone might lend you a smashed tilt to claim or just tell them you lost it

there is a sky for tilts??..
they can see God's tilt??
because God has a tilt (or a TyTN II) with drivers and not an iPhone.
and we should ask God for the drivers (with a little help of a dead tilt!)((then ressurecting it and Presto!))

Glad to hear that the Seidio rubberized case is such a great case. Even better to hear that you're ok. Get lots of rest Bengalih, you'll need it...

Glad to hear that you are ok, and the tilt.
But one thing I will never understand is why americans are soo fricking brainless when it comes to wearing protection gear???
Here in Sweden we have a law for it, and the insurance cost is much lower if you wear protection gear.
I my self got a Kawa ZZR1400 (ZX14-R) and I wouldn't even dare to drive it without my leather and helmet..
Anyway glad that you are OK, like the rest of them say rest alot.

Thats true. Bengalih, u have to be insane to not to wear any protection.
I once had a bicycle accident and I had scratches all over my body.
Happy to hear that u r ok and always remember: SAFETY FIRST!

Specifically, the screen on my hero. Had to wire 4 houses today and that **** got scratched up in the crawlspaces.
Any ideas on how to fill it?

Try using that Apple polish, I hear it works.

But dude, it's January. Crawlspace? You're dedicated lol.

Toothpaste vigorously applied with a qtip usually works. Make sure it's mint toothpaste, if it's tooth whitening that helps too.

can you report back on the method you use with before and after pics?

I don't have a camera, because i use my phone, but I'll try something this weekend and let you know.
As far as crawlspaces, it's actually quite warm under a house. Hell, I was putting a dish on a roof in 30degree weather yestarday. Roof was wet, cold fingers were cold.

Ok this is funny. I scratched my phone crawling through a crawlspace on Wednesday!!!! And I was running an extra Dual cable on a DirecTV KAKU upgrade... Tell me how the scratch fix works.. And you know what it is DEFINITELY warmer under a house then on the roof putting up a KAKU dish, or especially an international!!! LOL

I know how that is. I was supposed to up a KAKU and an International a couple weeks ago, but when I rolled up the KAKU was already there, so just had to get the International in. Sadly, it was a SWM setup so had to take it to SLIM and get a 6x8 in.
Speaking of SWM, have you had to do a a SWM 8 expander yet?
If you haven't, try to swap that **** with someone else. They suck.

after you fix it, just get a zagg invisible shield for your screen. they are awesome. i've dropped my phone on rocks and no damage

http://podshop.com/idrops/
It's awesome.

I feel your pain man I work in cable. Applesauce is great. Ive used Brasso on my iPod plenty of times and it works great. You can get Brasso at most stores.

Who wears glasses?

I do. Sometimes they can be a pain. I hate it when I go swimming and I can't see a damn thing.
Also, when I am laying in bed messing with my phone, I have to take them off or I'll get a headache.
Anyone else like this?

get lasik, best 3400 I've ever spent.

that you'll crash because you can't see.
edit: only teenage idiots want ricer cars.

Ditto on glasses suck. They just get in the way of everything (ie, when dressing, showering, sleeping, swimming, etc)
But actually, my nearsightedness is not too bad; only about -3.00 or -4.00 diopters. So I admit I don't have it as bad as a lot of others.
To compound my problems, I can't wear contacts. I have a fear of eye-touching. (Remember in an episode of Friends, Rachel has this problem?)
I would totally go for lasik surgery. I've heard a lot of good stuff about it.
Oh, regarding the argument between lasik vs a nicer car...that's just silly. If you choose to go with a nicer car, you should sell it to do lasik and then get a cheaper car.
Tip on swimming: There are goggles with corrective lens. They look an feel just like regular goggles and don't cost that much more.

I am relatively new to wearing glasses (just over a year). I hate it, but I'm to much of a p***y to get contacts.

What's a ricer car?

Ricer - (Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt) A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to): - Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder - Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747 - Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool - Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself - Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire - Clear tail lights and corner signals - A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine) - Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case. The "ricer" attempts to make their car "performance" by adding the modifications listed above. These ricers are not confined to any one ethnic group ...
LoL

Yea, I wear glasses, but going through about 8 different pairs I got used to them. Speaking of glasses I will soon need to change my lenses since they are so scratched up lol. I'm worried that if Ido get lasik I wont get used to not having glasses.

you'll poke yourself in the face a few times the first couple of months, trying to adjust glasses that aren't there, but for me and my 20/400 vision, it was an amazing thing.
Had procedure about 1130am. didn't feel anything other that some pushing/pulling (had valium and numbing drops).
Got home about 1300. Wife decided to do some shopping while I was passed out in the car....
Woke up in car to eyes on FIRE. Immediately went into the house and took some motrin and benadryl and passed out.
Woke up about 8pm. Looked up and could read the clock from across the room (before I could not even see that there was a big "E" on the chart from the chair. Had to walk to about 5-10 feet to see it).
The next morning I went for my post op visit and was 20/20.
Now I am 20/15 in one eye and 20/10 in the other. Like I said best 3400 I've ever spent.
Came with free lifetime correction but 5 years later I am still seeing great!

When i didn't wear glasses, i cann't see clearly! I hate!

Chicks who wear glasses can be sooooo sexy

I don't really go swimming too often, I don't picture myself wasting $100 on something I will only wear once a month

I wear glasses.....
actually i just keep 'em in my pencil case with the box.
cause I just don't need 'em. after all.
thanks to my random eyesight change... lol was somewhere 150/75 and now its 70/70
thanks OP for the thread. Im gonna see what happens if I wear my glasses all day at school next week.

yeah, i'm farasighted and need my glasses to perform any task that involves reading small print-funny,i use to have perfect vision when i was younger-i was the only sibling to not wear glasses. i don't mind,except trying to keep them clean can be a pain,lol...

Also the price of Lasik. For $3500 I'll be a few thousand away from this (camera not included) and yes, the money I spent on my photography gear can easily buy a ricer car...or a few Lasic surgeries.

I've worn glasses since I was 4 years old (I'm 17 now). I got used to it over time.
I started wearing contacts when I was 12 years old. At first, I was scared of poking my eyes. But when I really noticed how different I looked and how my peripherals were horrible, I became brave enough to start wearing contacts. Now when I look to my sides or up/down, my vision isn't obstructed by a frame (or no lens when looking up/down). I really love contacts now. It's nice not having this heavy frame on my nose.
I've actually contemplated on getting lasik surgery. It might actually happen next summer (when I get out of high school), but I'm not sure...(tough times in the economy right now).
BTW, has anyone gone swimming with contact lenses on? Or is that something that shouldn't be done? I remember swimming with some friends a few years ago and I had no glasses/contacts on, and I got smacked with a beach ball...

how can you hate glasses?! Get some nice ones and everyone around you will be jealous.. got some nice Bench. frames.. love em!!

haha lol loved this thread and guess what?
I have worn my glasses for two days and guess what responses I've got...
1.) take them off. you look like a r.tard/ nerd
2.) oh I havn't seen you with glasses before. you look weird.
what a funny to do at school for last week of term

NC Kid abuse?

Question guys and appreciate any feedback. I really want a Xoom but im holding off for a wifi version but I know once I do get one my 3 year old will want to take it over as he has already taken over my Evo. Hes a phone hog and a battery killer with all his angry birds and apps that he has on there lol (very proficient Android 3 year old). How durable is the NC? Like tough wise. Think itll survive a 3 year olds destruction? I was looking around and they can be found for $200 bucks online. This way I can mess around with an Android Tablet and the kid can use it instead of my phone or xoom once I get that.

I have one and it feels pretty solid to me. I even dropped mine from about chest high straight onto a hard wood floor once. Picked it up and it worked like a charm.
I have a 6 week old, but he's a little young to give it the proper "kid test" you're looking for.

lol .. Yeah he'll probably be stealing my tech toys before I know it. It's actually great for long drives. My wife and I drove to my parents last weekend. It's an hour drive (so not real long but still). I have the NC tethered to my Evo. She browsed the web and read most of the trip. She loved it.
I think she was pretty skeptical when I bought it at first. She quickly came to love it though. After the first week she would say, "are you taking the Nook to work with you again??" .. haha .. so I started leaving it at home. Once a solid Honeycomb port hits I might purchase her, her own NC.

Mine must not have been a good drop then. Or maybe it hit the ground just right because it survived. It was a pretty high direct drop too. I bent down expecting the glass to be cracked but it wasn't.

I can't really tell. When we drove it was at night. I've used it around an office with fluorescent lights everywhere with no problem. Glare wise it's probably about like the Evo since it's a glass surface. If I think about it tomorrow I'll check them side by side.

I let my 6 year old use mine for the read-to-me books as well as Angry Birds, though i have to remind her to be careful with it. I did get a Squaretrade warranty for it for $30 (normally $39 for 2 yrs) so that adds a little piece of mind. I'd definitely add a warranty to it if you can if you're planning to let the little one play with it.

With the rubberized back and solid plastic outer, I think the NC should stand up pretty well, but a case wouldn't hurt. Just make sure that he doesn't throw it across the room when he gets stuck on a level... I've been known to do that occasionally.

Take full advantage of magnet screen off feature!

Lol this is dorky but its actually something i wish someone had brough to my attention.
While you're sitting at your pc, or hunkered down watching a movie I found that putting my wallet on top of my nexus acts like those fancy smart cases. then i don't ever have to push a button, i just lift my wallet... SCREEN ON.... put my wallet down.... SCREEN OFF!!! obviously its the built in magnetic sensors meant for their cases, but i hate cases, and so if you have anything you carry around regularly that has a magnet, it just slightly more convenient

Hmm this seems to be interesting. I remember seeing those "surfaces" of slim magnets in a shop few days ago. If you buy those, then you just need some deco on the top if you'd like (I'm thinking of using an old T-shirt with some cool pic or writing on it), glue it on the top = custom smart case
Great find! I will try and find those
Edit: This is what I mean, but a little thinner, and of course bigger to fit the tablet. This is a magnet I have on a fridge. I can't test it however since my N7 hasn't arrived yet (expecting it in a few days).

Considering you're not using a case... I'm going to be blunt and say what you are doing is incredibly stupid. There is NOTHING convenient about that, instead of SIMPLY pressing the button on the side you now have another object which isn't even attached to the tablet to keep track of and move around, instead of SIMPLY pressing a button.
HOLY CRAP WHY!

Yes I know that, but what is wrong with keeping it covered? Protecting from dust, or for deco? I don't think anything is that useless, especially these DIY creative stuff, and yes I'm going to be blunt and say that your post is incredibly stupid and pointless

Why don't you take your nexus 7 and look at it... compare the amount of physical buttons to your phone 3 years ago. Heck compare the amount of physical buttons to the galaxy s3 that came out mere months ago. you're being narrow minded if you honestly can't see the value of anything that would be an effective alternative to a hardware button.

You know, it might be in your best interest to keep your opinions to yourself, because obviously you don't know how to word them nicely.

I'm surprised that there isn't a (decent) case (not the crap you see on ebay) on the market that makes use of the mag feature.

The sensor is under the glass... you can't see it. What are you protecting it from?
How is putting a magnet or a magnet in your wallet on your phone creative? How is that any better than pressing a button on the side of the phone? How?
Taking full advantage of the sensor is using an actual case or cover instead of having to take a i
magnet off and on it. Hey guys! I put a Apple sticker on the back of my N7, that is creative!

For the end of this: if you'd like to keep your sensor protected (and I'll ignore the fact that I was actually referring to the screen) just move away from this topic and lock your device with the power button. That is not the purpose of this thread anyway. Thanks.

I have a Blurex case for my htc flyer. The nexus version is a "smart" case (has a magnet) . You can pick it up for $15. Check amazon.
You can find reviews on amazon and in xda nexus accessories forum. If you want something high end, use smart case as your search terms in the forum.
PS Blurex has at least 2 models. I prefer the slim case.

I love my Blurex folio case. Very well made and classy looking.

If this, well written very useful thread makes u so mad that you are worried that you will get banned why don't you check out this website, it may calm you down. www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony
EDIT; or you could check out this website. www.apple.com people at this website are just like you, they don't like to do things in fun and creative ways. They like to do the same boring thing, over and over and over.

Despite the low price, I love my Poetic case. It has a good quality leather shell, uses the magnets, and has a hand strap and stylus holder. Best $6 case ever.

I'm failing to see why everyone is attacking the OP. If you don't think its convenient, don't do it. If you think it's a stupid idea, don't do it. We all live in free countries, right? OP was sharing some information, and a button- sized magnet sounds like a pretty cool idea for people who don't use cases

This was fun lol. I'd like to refer all aformentioned haters to the 4th word of my post "dorky". I knew full well this would only be helpful to a very small few people who carried a money clip with a magnet in it, or i guess those who just carry magnets out of habit. But i'd like to explain the physics behind why i though this was easier.
physical button method:
as we all know a force applied mandates an opposing force, especially to remain static. so what it comes down to is you having to pick up your nexus 7 because the button is slightly underneath the bezel, and if you have big enough hands squeezing it, thus applying equal and opposing forces to turn on your screen.
Wallet/button magnet method:
picking up your small wallet, which weights less than your tablet by many times, this reduces overall work required, is accomplished in a bit shorter time, and probably leaves a smaller CO2 footprint on our environment (i just watched a ted talk).
Thanks for all you who could just enjoy a friendly tip and not lose your heads over it. There are litterally thousands of threads just in this nexus 7 forum that are even more useless than what i poted

Also i have a strong dislike for cases on my devices, but I will admit i've never been more tempted than by some of the ones you guys shared, much thanks for the heads up!
