Top tip: Don't drop expensive phones!

I originally posted these over at WMPowerUser (and they have now seemingly become popular images) so I thought why not get the word out a little more?
Basically, I dropped my HTC HD2. Big mistake. Now, I have to get it all repaired!

Don't drop your phone, it's rather fragile (even if it can take a knifing).

Bummer, do you have a case for it's protection?

I have the one it came with, which isn't much use if you actually want to use the device!

I'll be getting this Aluminum Metal Case for HD2 when it come to the States w/3G:

Yeah, ouch. My friend dropped her G1 on it's back, and it cracked the screen.

Man, I'm sorry about that. TBH I cringed a little when I first saw this on WMPoweruser.com. This seems to be a problem with all glass-screened phones, as about three friends of mine (all with iPhones) have had them replaced at least once due to shattered screens. Well, I wish you the best of luck in getting it fixed

Ahhhh i'm on the safe side... I have a HTC Universal and even if it drop down nothing happens to the screen... big advantage of having calmshell design.....

No no no...you have it all wrong!!!!

Sorry about your HD2, hope you can get it fixed

I highly recommend over other brands!

I was thinking of getting the BSE instead of the Zagg but I ended up getting the Zagg, huge price difference but in the past I've had better experience with Zagg. BSE is def. great though for the money.
Awesome pics too, looks like you did a great job applying it to the device.

The other day I spent like 3 hours searching for a anti-fingerprint screen protector.. There are so many that I don't know what to buy and juat when I thought I found the right one Immediatly found a bad review about it. Overall I think there aren't significant differences between them.. I am also a pretentious guy and I literally want the best quality I can get. If only there was some kind of exclusivist brand. Fingerprint free, clean looking, smooth touch.

Nice job Sugarmouth...you did it well. I ordered one too...

Wow great pics!

I have order one for me. price is very good

Just ordered 2 full skins. FYI they are having a Buy 1 Get 1 Free sale until the 31st!

Hey so there's no protection for the chrome rim around the phone? Is it easy to scratch anyways?
(I don't own an HD7)

The painted surface is very nice. It's very nice.

The kit comes with protection for the chrome areas, I just preferred to not install it.

So is this a thin hardcase, or is it one of those "you have to take pentazemin to ensure you don't **** up putting it on" kinda protector?

Anybody else try this?

I got sick of waiting for my case from ebay...

Thats one way of doing it. And much Cheaper.

Like the NC isn't heavy enough for reading. Good job though.
Lifehacker had an atricle about using book binding materials to make an Ipad case. It would be neat to make one.

I've always wanted to hollow out a book for something - just thought it would be kinda fun. Looks like you did a good job. Only thing to be concerned for is dropping the "book" and having the NC come flying out.

Putting my Nook in a book would ruin part of the benefit of using a Nook for me: I don't have to hold something open to be able to read; I can just lay it down and be done with it. This is definitely cool, but for me, if I have to hold it open it's not worth it.
Peter

looks heavy, I saw a guy do the same, but remove all the pages and cut material to replace the book binding and make it look more smooth, I gotta try it too, thanks for all the ideas
looks good though, noone would look at it twice...lol
great way to hide it

Looks like it would be heavy, and a lot of work..

You missed an opportunity to do this with a Sarah Palin book.

This is going to be very useful in prison....but how will you get the NC into the pen in the first place?

Decalskin.com 3M Vinyl skin for the Nexus S and 4G.

I'm not much on "phone-bling" and this is the first time I have even thought about putting a skin on my phone, but while perusing e-bay, I stumbled across this skin and really liked it. It was only $7.95 shipped, so I figured why the hell not.
Once they arrived (Got one for my dad's LG Ally as well), I was pleased to find they are made with the 3M Controltac vinyl and not some el-cheapo stuff you find on other skins. The skins went on without much fuss and (to me) look very nice. Decalskins, of course have several different designs to choose from, but this is the one I liked the most. They also allow you to download a free wallpaper to match.
The skin works fine with my clear snap on case as well. All-in-all I'm pretty happy. Of course it goes without saying, this doesn't offer much in the way of protection. But it does make the phone less slick, and as I said above, it works with the clear cases you can find on Amazon and eBay. NOTE: It does hide the bottom touch key lights, so this probably isn't of use to those running BLN. But it doesn't affect operation at all.
I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, and that's fine, but I figured I'd throw a quick review up for those interested.

I bough one from geliskins and I though it will make it less slippery but it was the opposite. Is it any better?

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with Gelaskins, but I can tell you, this skin is a lot less slippery than just the stock back. I swear that thing can be used as a non-stick baking sheet.

Freaking dropped it!

But it took it like a champ. Brand New AT&T LTE 8.9. I was taking it into the AT&T store to get a sim card, and while getting out of the truck, I grabbed the box, but the opening was facing away from me, and the Tab simply beat me out of the truck. Face down onto the pavement from about 5'.
Thank GOD it still had the protective plastic still on the front and the rear. All I ended up with was a two chipped up corners.
I was sure the screen was going to be cracked when I heard it smack face down. First time EVER dropping a tablet.
Update...

A couple chips sucks but much better than a cracked screen. These tabs look to be pretty solid as far as i can tell. Maybe pick a case up that'll cover the corners.

Yea, doesn't bother me too much. I'm just very picky when it comes to my electronics. I like everything pristine!

i know what you mean. i can be pretty anal about mt electronics too. glad to hear nothing bad happened though.
