After reading many threads & posts about people's Nexus's breaking so easily, I thought I would make this thread. So share your near death experience(s) here.
I've dropped mine from 5 ft, twice on a solid floor, and the only damage is a little scuff on the chrome bezel on the corner.
Yesterday my nexus was dropped into a bin (by my coworker, not me!), so a 3/4ft drop onto hard plastics & stone, and then solid plaster was dropped on top. The only protection my Nexus had was one of those waterproof bags (like when you buy grapes).
That's all. I've skid her a few times along laminate flooring, and she goes through rapid temperature changes (hot hand to freezing stainless steel bench) without shattering.
She works fine & only has a small scuff. So I guess these phones aren't as fragile as people say they are! Cheers.

My nearest-to-death experience was dropping her from 2-3 feet from my lap to the ground, which had carpet. That was more than enough of a scare for me. I do baby my electronics, though. I think I'm going to stop living in fear of breaking my Nexus 4 and start enjoying it. I just took off my screen protector last week and am enjoying the feel of the sloped glass in front. I figure if I continue to be extra cautious, I'll be good. And if I get a scratch, well, I'll just live with it.
I had a nightmare that the back was broken, woke up and I was glad it was just a dream.

The wife and were sitting on the top step of the front porch having a smoke. I thought I had a good grip on it but somehow it came out of my hand and I bobbled it about 5 times as my heart skipped a beat. I finally snagged it out of the air and it went back into my pocket. I've never actually dropped it but I know it would have been finished had it hit and toppled down concrete steps!
We took my three year old son to get his passport photos done. For whatever reason he would not sit calmly in the chair. We gave him my phone to calm him down, which helped. He was playing with it, then the photographer came and my boy got pissed off again. He threw the phone on the ground from about 5 feet up (he was sitting on a stool).
I was ready for it. Picked it up, and not a scratch. The poetic bumper and presumably dbrand skin helped a lot.
I dropped mine once off my bed, onto wood floor. Landed on the back. Didn't damage it, all it had was the stock bumper. Yesterday... I dropped it in the kitchen, between where the floor changes from wood to tile, it landed on the riser that covers that section. Bumper flew off, screen is now shattered and the digitizer no longer works. Just ordered a replacement.. Not happy about it, but that's life. First device I've ever broken. Had it since Nov. 16th of last year. Very sad...
Had one bad one so far, came home from gym and had on track pants I guess you could call them, loose fitting with loose baggy pockets. Soon as I in the door I had to pee super bad so darted up the steps which are hardwood, about 8 steps up it slipped right out of my pocket and did a bounce and tumble all the way back down. Heart stopped lol, had the body glove bumper on it, I was so disgusted I went to the bathroom first anticipating when I got downstairs it would be broke, luckily when I picked it up only a funky little scuff of the case, nothing at all on the phone when I took it out. That was like a month ago and no issues ever since.

Horrible!!
She was in my hands, waist-height. I dropped her when i was closing a door. The door's lower edge had metal on it. So anyway, she slipped outta my hands and I tried to cut the landing with my foot and ended up kicking her into the metal on the door. I did not want to flip her over. She was pristine though. Greatest scare ever...

I like to listen to music while im in the shower, so the day after I got the phone, I sat the phone on a piece of tissue (i hate sitting the bare glass directly on things) and put it on the toilet seat. After I get out, im drying off and I just see the phone slide off of the seat, it was like watching in slow motion lol. I picked it up and there was no damage, i was so happy lol

I put my Nexus 4 on top of my clothes in my work locker. By the time my shift was over, I had completely forgotten about my phone. I then opened my locker and just yanked out my clothes which sent my nexus 4 flying about 7 feet from my locker which was 5 feet high. The phone landed face first and my heart dropped, I carefully lifted it and when I turned it, not a single scratch, mark, or imperfection. I am a lucky son of a *****.
I broke my ankle seriously and had surgery in January. In March, I was hopping around on one foot to the restroom when the N4 popped out of the pocket of my athletic shorts, hit the toilet seat, and luckily bounced to the ground and not inside the toilet.

Someone once asked me if it was an iPhone...
I was at work (food processing plant) and I leaned against a sharp metal corner, right into the same pocket that had my N4. I thought I felt glass break, so I was pretty worried until I checked it at break. Phone was alright though (no damage)

They should be posting here, because they risked their life with that blasphemous statement.
This was when Ubuntu Phone's preview came up. I was one of the first to grab a copy. Downloaded the files and flashed it through adb. Had never used adb in my life. After flashing, the phone is stuck on the Google logo. Waits for 5 mins, still same. Panic really hard. Started to browse all forums - xda, reddit, android authority blah blah for any help. 15 mins passed still stuck on Google logo. Trembling I pick up the Nexus and forcefully power it down. While pressing the power button, my heart beat is so loud that I could hear it. The screen turns off and then powers back on and what I see gives me a stroke.
RED LED OF DEATH.
I had read so many nightmare stories of it and now faced. Suddenly something weird comes. I few glitch like things and then Ubuntu shows. I play Ubuntu for a couple of minutes and then the phone blacks out. Power back up and again the RED LED. Plug the phone into the computer and restore android using mskip's util. NEVER GONNA FLASH UBUNTU.
Post Mortem
So it turns out that during the Google logo a massive battery drain took place. Thats why the red led showed up. Ubuntu didn't have any way to show the battery and that's why it blacked out without any pop-up.

Damn i smashed my previous Nokia 5800 but nothing happened to it
Phone flew outta my coat pocket last winter when I started running, smashed all over the road but was still good. Then a few months later was drunk wrestling with my dog and it fell outta my pocket again, my dog found it and chewed on it, plus it rained... Had to search most of the next morning for it, recharged it still worked fine but super chewed... Then the last main thing, I was getting out of a car and it was on my lap, it landed face down with extended batt. on cement and the digitizer finally blew... I've since replaced every part on the phone except the LCD and mobo... I still love this phone and the devs that keep it more updated then then the newest phones out there... Thank God I haven't had to fish in the toilet yet:-o

I actually killed a phone in a toilet I was out partying and I was really drunk. I had to pee and while peeing I had my thing in the left hand and was trying to text with my right hand (which is extremely difficult when the letters on the keyboard are moving around ;-) ) Suddenly I drop it straight down the toilet and I was just like "whoops" and I picked it up.

Me and a friend used to send the occasional poop pic back and forth. After a morning of too much coffee I released an extra frothy concoction into the toilet and decided it was pic worthy for our chain letter. I dropped the phone into the toilet, quickly grabbed it out and rinsed it in the bathtub. It worked for about two weeks after that but slowly gave in. it was a crappy pantech flip phone. Good riddance. On the plus side nobody would ask to use my phone after that.

I was walking through a McDonalds drive-thru/car park area with my wife and we were having an argument. Out of exasperation, she flung her bag around, and her Sony Ericsson k750i flew out and hit the tarmac, a group of guys were watching not far away.
As I skipped over the get the phone, a car came out of the drive-thru, and despite protests to stop, drove straight over it wheel first. As the crunch happened, the group of guys all went 'ohhhhhhh' at the same time. It was complete dead, shattered screen, and a few mm thinner lol. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but glad I had insurance for a next day swap!
i had a sony ericcsson w580i that had a good little run around the insides of my washing machine (by accident of course - forgot to check my pockets beforehand)
the phone still worked fine, but the washing machine went on strike at that point (something about unauthorised foreign objects..)
i never tried 'cleaning' a phone again!!
Many years ago when I was on my way to work.I was talking on phone with my client. Some dude bum on me really hard accidently and my phone flew over to the road and a car ran over it.
the phone were disembowelled and I pick it up, the call still connects and I finished the call with the client with that naked disembowelled phone.
It was an old school Nokia 3310 lol.
It's not dead technically but since the chassis and keypad and screen were all broken .so

Back in high school during my stupid and naive days, my Sony Ericsson k610i's paint was peeling pretty badly. So I idiotically painted it black and went to school. Answered a call and the black paint transfered to my face without my knowledge. I took some serious ridicule that day haha. So I got rid of phone and used a spare for 6 months til contract ended lol

Hi Guys,
I just want to know if anyone of you have had dropped there Note on the floor or off the bed or off the table?
How did it go?
I know I did. I just got a call from someone unexpectedly while my Note was charging. It was one of those calls that caught me really offguard and I was near sleep at that time.
And I really was thrown offguard that I slipped the Note off my hands and into the.floor.. Oh sh*t was all I could utter.
Good thing our second floor in our house was.made of wood or else I could have kiss the phone goodbye.
Anyone experiencing the same more or less accident than what I had?
Care to share guys?

dropped it enough times (not to remember how many) on to carpeted floors. dropped it about 6 times onto hard floor (accidentally), twice hard enought to dislodge the official flip case and spen and battery but phone has survived without a scratch (once it had fallen flat on screen but with flip cover covering it on to hard floor and luckily survived the fall from about 2 - 3 feet height). once my child dropped it through the gap in the sofa bed and screen edge landed on the metal rods of the sofa bed and screen survived but small dent on the plastic like thing surrounding the raised screen glass.
been lucky so far but need to insure the phone soon.
Three months out and never dropped mine not one bit. I treat this thing like it came from my own sperm. I don't let others touch it because I'm afraid if anyone drops it, i won't be able to control myself and stab someone in the face.....

I just got my gnote today and luckily I haven't dropped it. But the Guy I alsmost bought his gnote yesterday dropped his while on the way to my place to sell it. The screen was broken as a result. Poor Guy.

4 times. One from 3 feet on rough asphalt. Bottom metal border scratched, screen intact.
The others were from 1 - 2 feet on hard but smooth floor, no consequences at all.
I have more complains about the back cover, it's getting worn out (the texture on the back is disspearing on some parts) from just resting the phone on tables.
Fortunately it's cheap to replace.
I work in a bar, wearing a tabard with front pockets where I put everything on as I cannot reach my pants pockets when wearing it.
Basicly it's always in front of me, while I keep leaning against the bar furniture with iron pins sticking out (to hang bottle openers and towels.).
I broke me 60$ watch glass against one of the pins, but haven't scratched the phone a single time, while (no kidding) I keep hitting it with all the stuff in my front pockets.
So, you might call me lucky for 2 reasons, 1. not breaking my screen or 2. having such awesome phone!
I might think about placing a custom screen protection from a dealer who send the wrong size of screen protectors for a 10" tablet who i can cut out, then use the metal cover I bought (Forgot the name, but is the one you protect the side of the phone with, 4 letter name)
I also dropped it from 1.5m high on tiles andit jumped quite far away with an epic slide, not a dam scratch
PV-
off the bed and off the coffee table. less than 10 times
either i'm lucky or the silicon case saves the day
Twice.. Had to repair the screen.. sigh

Sooo. I just dropped my Nexus 7. I had it on a piled towel on my desk "a night shower + clean its screen is win". An hour later watching Netflix, it crawled off and hit my carpeted floor from 3 foot high. I freaked out.. Something with a glass front is asking to shatter. Thank to the Android Gods I can't find a single problem. I watched a video showing SquareTrade test on abuse and the Nexus 7 did great compared to the iPad.
Have fellow owners messed up and dropped their baby? If so, pictures? Thankfully the digitizer is working fine for me.
Havent dropped mine, but there is a squaretrade video where they drop it. The screen doesnt seem to crack even if it hits concrete on its back. If it hits on the front though, you'd be in trouble.
If your case, I wouldn't expect it to crack at all. 3 feet on carpet is extremely gentle, especially if its on the back.
Dropped it twice now...
Once was off the ledge near my bed, only about a 20 inch drop, it fell flat and was fine.
Second time I had it in my cargo pants and had forgotten and was dumping my pants (with some other clothes) onto the ground and I dropped it on its edge from about 3-4 feet up.
No issues here!
These devices are amazingly tough. Even the 1st gen iPads take quire a beating being so large and heavy. My stepdad is like a bull in a china shop and watches Netflix at night with headphones and falls asleep. He's broken 3 headphone plugs by snapping off the male end because he drops it from his big belly while laying in bed onto the hardwood floor. I know its happened three times because I've had to buy new headphones four times. Time for a trip to RadioShack and some repair time to recycle the old ones.
I think the nexus 7 is more durable and lighter. On carpet I'm guessing you didn't damage it one bit. Just watch out for those wooden side rails breaking its fall, I've had that sound scare the beejeezees out of me a few times with other devices.

after i pulled my pants up and washed my hands..i walked slowly over to the phone dreading what i was going to find.

Yeah, the glass on the back, while not as slippery as the front, is still ridiculously slippery. I have to be careful what I set mine on, or fwwwooop, off it goes in slow and accelerating motion. Even things like pillows that ought to have some friction.
Really looking forward to my case, too. I'm way too afraid to carry it around and use it.
Good to hear yours wasn't broken!

habit. my hd2 had a rubber case around it and i always carried it in my hand..never put it in my pockets ever..always lay it down near me when i'm in restroom.
i know..stupid habit..but i got lucky. i stopped putting it in my pocket because the rubber/silicon cover always collected lint and if i was wearing tight jeans it would sometimes pull the cover off when pulling it out.

I received my Nexus 4 last week and have been enjoying the past few days with unlocking and rooting it, as well as general setup.
Yesterday, I was leaving the cafeteria and proceeded to drop my box of sushi. As I bent down to pick it up, my Nexus 4 slipped out of my shirt pocket and fell onto the concrete sidewalk. I was absolutely frozen. After a second or two, I picked it up and saw that both sides were completely intact. The only visible damage is a slight scrape on the upper left corner and a slight scrape on the lower right corner (the metal trim).
After reading so many horror stories about broken glass, I feel incredibly lucky. I've got a leather holder on the way.
On an unrelated note, Words With Friends no longer works for me. I have to uninstall and reinstall every time to get my games to load. :-/
