I've had my phone for a few weeks now with a case on it (body glove mirage). The case is really good, but every time I have to take it off for something I'm reminded how much better the phone feels with no case on it.
I'm curious, has anyone kept it naked? How well has it held up? I'm wondering if anyone who's done this now has scratches or anything on the metal back of the phone.
Thanks!
Mine has been naked since i got it on launch day - still looks new without a single mark on it. I have put my keys in my pocket with it a couple times, but i move them when I realize it.
No scratches on glass, metal or plastic.
I've got butterfingers so for me the case keeps me from tossing he phone across the room when I take it out of my pocket. Plust without it the phone almost feels too light

Hmm. This is promising lol. I do keep it in a pocket with nothing else. I used to keep my iPhone 3g in with my keys. The back did not enjoy that, though the front stayed relatively scratch free.

I've dropped phones before too, thankfully not my Captivate yet. I just played with it without the case some more and it just makes life so much easier. A lot less reaching.
It's so tough. I've never used cases before because I hate the way all of them feel and the width they add. But I also don't want to destroy my phone like my 3G lol.
If you keep it naked don't drop it! The glass is supposed to be tough and scratch resistant but the paint on the metal back plate scratches easily and the plastics get dings when it hits the ground. I droped my phone twice in one day and now have a ding in each corner. That's 2 dings each time I lost hold of it. Now it has one of those film protectors front back and sides. And I have the body gloves case that I go back and forth between.

I have also had mine without a case/screen protector since launch day. the only noticeable scratches are light ones at the top and bottom where it curves on the plastic body. other than that, the screen and back are perfect. I have dropped mine a few times, but its usually about from 2-3' up, nothing like a 6' drop.
Interesting stuff. I think ultimately I'll decide to keep the case on. Because I know that one time I drop it or get a decent scratch I'm going to be cursing myself out for not having it on there lol.
Side question: How well do we think these phones will hold their value?
I ask because I was able to sell my 3g on ebay for $130 even though the screen was dead, the camera was dead, and it was really scratched up. Not bad since I paid 200 for it a year and a half before!

That's the one good thing about buying Apple ANYTHING. It holds its value like crazy. I can tell you from experience that the 1 year old HTC Hero can still fetch 200 bucks. A Samsung Moment can get about $150.
The Captivates are selling on Ebay right now for about $400.
My 3G got scuffed on the back from pulling it in and out of a belt holster that was lined. I finally decided no more holsters.
As for value - I got $190 for my 8GB 3G. It is hard to say about these. Lots of people want contract free phones. Since the captivate has top notch hardware with 16GB internal and expandable storage, I think it is a good value.
If we can unlock them after Froyo (AT&T said they would after 90 days to me anyway) then I think I can get my $150 back I paid for the phone maybe more.
It is all about supply and demand. I am amazed someone paid what they did for my 3G - it is old hardware, but Apple has people fooled. iPhone 4 is going for $900 on eBay - crazy stuff. As long as Apple doesn't sell an unlocked US version contract free, the prices will stay sky high on iPhone. Captivate, not so much. The non-contract price is about $500 so in 2 years what will people pay for a used one?
Well it really depends which network and which phone I think the captivate being the only decent android on at&t will last a bit longer than maybe the vibrant and other variants like the fascinate or epic whose carriers embrace high end android phones

i go no case.....had my iphone 3g with no case for probably a year and a half, and now i am running a naked captivate also. I actually like the feel of a case better, but have yet to find one i feel like investing in....and it looks so awesome without a case!!
I absolutely love my Body Glove case. It's the best mobile device case I've ever used, and I've had a cell phone for thirteen years.
I kept my first captivate naked for the first three days and noticed that my "Scratch Resistant Gorilla Glass" couldn't hold up to three days in the pocket of my slacks by itself. I was just beside myself as I've had an iphone without a screen protector since the phone launched, and never saw a scratch otherwise.
Seems to me that between the iPhone 4 and Captivate both having threads and threads of scratched devices, Corning needs to rethink the Gorilla Glass formula. Whatever the 3GS screen cover was made of should be the standard. I beat the hell out of that phone and not one scratch to be seen.
I really liked the phone design and lines so I went with zagg max protection. It's just like the screen protector but covers the whole body of the phone, it has no shock protection but its virtually scratch proof.

Naked since day 1. With the exception of 2x 3"x1/4" eGrips strips I put on the back cover sides to prevent me from fumbling the phone like a wet bar of soap. Love the thin-ness and the egrips don't hinder "pocketability".
Had the Sony X10 then switched to the Captivate. I go naked just keep loose change and keys in other pocket. Love the thinness of the phone. Still searching for that perfect skin. Tried a few but just make the phone bulky. A lot of the wear and tear of a phone has to do with your job and lifestyle. Learning to adapt to how you work or play and also how soon you want another phone(gadget lust) plays a part. I tend to sell/trade a newly released phone within 6 months so I try to keep them like new. But to each his own.

been naked for about a week now and havnt got a scratch on my screen yet so i dont know u did to get your scratch. but i do still want a case just havnt got around to getting one yet and my phone is holding up just fine.
The Nexus 4 was my first partially glass constructed phone, and my last. I have had many Samsung and HTC Android phones drop, bounce, skip across the floor, and they worked like a champ still. Typically battery cover pops off, and battery falls out, but put back together, and all good again
Not so with my Nexus 4, and I LOVED this phone, but was in the washroom, set it down for one second, to wash my hands, and I slipped pushing the phone off the top of toilet, and it hit the tile floor, OH SH!T NO, picked up, and yep, huge spider web cracked screen I see phone calls and texts coming in, but can press anything, no reaction.
Luckily I still had my old white color, international HTC One X, running CM10, which I like too, but it's no Nexus 4.
But damn, that glass phone is super fragile. Not the best materials to make a phone of. Out of like 8 Android phones, over last 4 years, this was my first one that actually broken and cracked, being unusable.
I heard such incidents. I have order for a protective case. Hope I dont do the same thing before it comes
I advise all Nexus 4 users to handle this phone with CARE and protect it.

I seen some fall and not break and seen them crack like yours after falling. Just depends. I seen one drop test for the Nexus 4 get dropped 3 times I believe it was before the screen cracked.
Glass or not I don't like scratches let alone cracks. So I put all my devices in cases to protect them. I like devices without cases but I like my devices looking and working perfect more. Even my aluminum devices.

Did you at least have a bumper or screen protector on or was it naked?
Don't all half decent smart phones have glass screens? Im pretty sure nexus 4 isn't alone in that department.
Yeah, the same problem occurred with the iPhone 4 and 4S. They all easily cracked.
Well until the guys from star trek come back from the future to save a few whales and give us that clear aluminum you need to learn not to drop your glass faced phones..... .. ..
This has happened to quite a few people, and has been discussed on XDA a fair bit
Here's a thread here with several people posting pictures

hello everybody,
I just purchased a GG yesterday, after reading a lot of your posts and thank you all for it. What convinced me was the new update that brings full notifications and better battery life. So far, I like it a lot, but of course 1 day is not enough.
There are 2 things I would like to ask other owners, who might have had it for longer time.
I read the post about the IP55 rating, but I would like to know if somebody really dropped it in water (most likely unintentionally), drop some water/liquid on it, got heavy rain, ecc. In other words, something more than washing hands or sweat.
Second point regards scratches. There are a lot of posts about this all over Internet, but very controversial. I would like to know if any of you had any scracth on the glass, the case or the buckle. If any of you experinced any serious bump, drops and so forth. I read somewhere that the GG has sapphire glass, but I seriously doubt it, as usually these glasses are very expensive and are used mostly on more expensive watches.
Thining logically, Samsung should have considered these issues, as after all, it is a watch and you want to wear it, so some kind of protection shluld be there. But I learnt that logic does not always work.
Any advice/experience you would like to share will be much appreciated!!!
Thank you very much,
Roger
I am using GEAR since end of OCT.
- water resistance - rain, drops of water is OK for the watch - if You search the forum you will even find the movie with the gear under kitchen tap water flowing on it. It is NOT ok for shower, swimming, diving etc. Generally - keep it away from water when possible. GEAR build quality is OK
If You wonder how SONY watch behaves - check their forum - a lot of complains and quality issues in general like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2574988
- scratch resistance - Gear glass is NOT scratch resistant! it scratches very easy so keep it away from any hard objects, sand, metal, etc. Generally speaking- with the product life of maximum 1 year ( yes, we may expect GEAR II not later than September 2014) scratch resistance is not so important, and Samsung for sure will not use sapphire for the glass - it is too expensive.
I've had mine since day one and no problem with it whatsoever. I don't take it off when I wash my hands just careful not getting it wet.
Battery life is pretty strong as you go about two days. Don't have any scratches on it so far but I'm pretty careful when I'm around walls/tables/desks.

Same here ^^^
I have washed my hands with mine on and have gotten water on it (even into the speaker area) no problems so far. Regarding scratched, I put on a skinomi shield (invisible shield type). Looks awesome! Super clear and can barely see it's on. I got the full body which has a cover for under the watch (not too sure why you would need it but I put on since it came with it). I should let you know that with the full body cover, the charger takes some work to get it to close but it's definitely close-able. Have fun with you new gear. I know I am.
Picked up a galaxy gear with carbon fiber skin protector from skinomi and it came with a screen protector too. Bought extra screen protectors off Amazon just in case. Everything running great and not worries about scratches anymore. Still very cautious around water though.

Had mine for awhile as well. I don't worry about washing my hands or rain. Just wouldn't submerge it to be on the safer side. Scratches... The speaker clasp is pretty scratched up but I'm not too concerned about it. As for the face, I have hit/bumped/scraped on things such as desk, doors, walls, etc. So far it has held up well with no noticeable scratches. However I always worry every time I do bump it.

I know this is a slightly callous thing to say, but suddenly watches have fallen into the bi-yearly replaceable category.
No longer are they finely hand crafted devices that merely tell you just the time (and sometimes the date), they are an extension of your phone. Generally my analogue time pieces would last me anywhere between 5-15 years. This is technology though and we all know it can become out of date very quickly. It's sad and I dislike this fact, but I know that in a year or two I will want to upgrade to keep up with the Jones'. Not just that, I guarantee the Note 6 won't support the original Gear.
We're stuck in the cycle now!
My gear has me essentially committed to samsung now. I usually switch out phones alot but no more. No nexus 5 for me I guess. I wish I didn't have to use some weird workaround to get it to work with another phone

Were you able to get the Skinomi clasp cover to stay on? Mine was very difficult to get on to begin with and I could never get the corners to adhere properly. Within a couple days, the corners were full of dirt. Skinomi sent me a new one, but same problem. Is there a trick to get the corners to stay down, or is the clasp cover just useless?
I am sure you ll enjoy your gg . I just bought one purely to be used when I am out on my motorbike as it will be alot easier to see who calls etc without reaching to my phone with gloves and stuff.

Learn some basic electronics work and you'll be able to keep stuff running for much longer. That won't help with stuff that just get outdated to the point where they're no longer useful, but I don't see all that much application for more processing power in a watch. In a few years, just open it up and swap the battery with one purchased for a few dollars on a site like HobbyKing.

By the same logic, once the battery goes dead in your car, it's time to buy a new car because replacing the battery is "immoral and illegal". There's nothing wrong with trying to fix something you own.

Maybe there is a language barrier issue, but Klau1, if it is your watch then of course you can replace the battery in it with a new one. This is not immoral or illegal in any way.

To be honest with you im not gonna throw my $1000 phone on the floor to test for you xD
But this used to happen with my Note 5, whenever it was dropped the pen would fly out like a rocket.
i guess it is kinda normal because of the push release system, the shock from the fall will eject it.
it would also happen if you swung the phone downwards, the pen would shoot out, however i have not tried this with the note 8 either
p.s (your not supposed to drop your phone)

OMG! How often are you dropping your phone to notice this? Is the screen ok?
Truth is it's always going to based on where the impact on the phone occurred and at what height. My brother accidentally dropped his from the table onto hardwood floor. The Whitestone Dome Glass now has a hairline crack on it. But the S Pen stayed put in the device. I know a colleague who dropped her Note 5 phone and the S Pen actually shattered inside the Note. Half of it came out and the other half is wedged in there. So bottom line is be more careful and don't drop it!
Don't drop your phone?
lol Bit of a tall order that not dropping of the phone thing, I do understand the intent was probably something more along the lines of "be careful". I've dropped mine and the pen did not come out. I never had it come out on my previous Notes either although there were few tests as I was following the advice above and trying to be careful with them.
Flagship phones represent more than 2% of an average individual workers annual income. If you look at this from an angle of trying to gain perspective imagine instead you're talking about an 850 dollar laptop. Fairly average for laptop pricing and yet I treat my laptops more carefully than I do my phones which now have similar pricing. I think in my mind buying all those phones previously for much less than they now cost has the effect of making them seem to be something of lower cost in my mind although that reality is no longer correct. In other words my perception hasn't kept up with reality. Maybe it's just me but I do know I pay attention with my laptop, with my phone it's just there.
Don't drop the phone. Throw it down hard and the phone and pen will hit the floor at the same time. The pen won't have time to fall out.
Just be careful! DO NOT DROP YOUR PHONE!
The s pen poping out should be the least of your concerns
The 3 or 4 times that I've dropped my Note 5,7,8 the Spen has always popped out.

I droped the phone over the carpet, and s pen popped out too, using ruged spigen case. think rubber acts like an spring.
.
well if we look at the slot, there no real "lock" in the mechanism/design itself
when we pop the s-pen its actually not the s-pen poping but rather the "spring-top-parts" that poping out so we can pull the pen
when u pull the pen there just little resistant to it
afaik the s-pen is holded by small bump in the slot
thus dropping note8 can cause s-pen to pop itself, maybe yours have slot that more loose that causing easier to pop
but other than that i think normal

WHAAA??!! My brain is in there! Or I thought it was...
All kidding aside, it's an expensive investment for some. Dropping it on a continual basis means you risk eventually breaking it and if no insurance is in place, a very costly lesson in life. And the S Pen would be the least of my worries if I ever dropped it. I'd be more concerned that nothing inside got jarred or glass crack. Or worse, the pen snaps inside the Note itself. I want this thing to last at least 4 years minimum before I consider replacing it. That is my ROI expectations on the device after paying so much into it. Which also means making sure I keep it in good shape and not abuse it like a mad man. LOL
Unfortunately, in this day and age, people have become more 'wired'. I mean what's so important on the phone you still have to use it while doing your business in the john?
yes, its a major investment, and, I doubt it will last you 4 years..
that being said, considering what a major investment it is, why do people who have no idea what they are doing with it, want to root it, mod it, flash all sorts of stuff to it without knowing for certain how to fix it if they brick it?

I mean, to be fair, it is a rather large investment for many users. It's not "just" a phone when taking everything into consideration. Dropping a device like this does cause a fair amount of stress for many depending on the result of that drop. It would be cool to be able to experience these drops without any stress but that's not the case for most of us. Sometimes a damaged phone (especially one as expensive as this one) can cause some real headaches, regardless of how careful we may be.
I do remember @OP, my Note 5 slipping out of my jacket pocket as I was getting out of my car at Best Buy once. S-Pen had popped out but I didn't notice it was gone until I had gotten home. I remember thinking that it may have landed under my car so I decided to go back to the parking space in the hopes that it may still be there. There was another car parked in the same spot so I looked under and sure enough the bastard was right there. It was a bit mauled up, though. Probably by other cars entering and leaving the parking spot. It wouldn't fit back into my Note 5 properly but it still worked on my display just fine.
I ended up ordering another S-Pen directly from Samsung because I couldn't trust the ones I saw on Amazon from third party sellers. Funny enough, I ended up getting the replacement S-Pen for free due to some shipping errors on Samsung's part. So this missing S-Pen had a happy ending after all. Anyway, hope you don't lose yours the next time you drop your phone.

Without knowing the user in question personally I'd suggest it's difficult to cast any doubt. I still run into folks with 3-5 year old phones that are in perfect working order. I can see how that can be more common across the user space just as easily as seeing enough who can't keep units in working conditions longer than a year.
Every time my wife drops her Note 5 out the window of the car while driving her Spen falls out too. This is annoying as the Spens are really hard to find in the gravel on the side of the road.
....not really joking about that

You can tell it was dropped or hit by something. In the sub Reddit thread, someone even pointed out that you could see the impact and when I looked closer at the picture and zoomed in, I could see it also.
I read that post yesterday and was shaking my head. OP: "I woke up and it was like this???" And the top comment seems to agree it could have happened spontaneously. This of course is only possible on reddit.
Why OnePlus used glass black in a phone without wireless charge? Unless the 7 Pro T comes with it so they will use same glass back.

Hell I could see the impact without zooming in, looks like a sharp edge. If he really doesn't remember it he probably drank and ran into a counter.

I don't understand what these people are doing to their phones, I've had 6 phones now and not one has ever been damaged like that, my Nexus 4's battery inflated like a balloon eventually but I was able to replace it. When I hand on my phones after replacing them they've always been in mint condition. Screen protector and a good protective case, that's all you need. I think it's just the iPhone mentality..."Nah, it spoils the looks bruh"

A handful of posters that do not have the phone , posting on a thread of a phone that clearly was hit or dropped. It comes with a case. Tmo offers casemate for $20.

This is hilarious,the guy is hangover for sure,any glass phone won't break itself that bad, he surely hit something while phone was in hos pocket or he dropped it.
Btw ,today going to work i had my phone in between the car seats in a cup holder and i slammed on brakes ,phone flu hitting gear stick and landing on the floor . Nothing happened,i had the case provided in the box.
he woke and it was like that because he dropped it while he was sleeping. He just left out a few key details.
Probably passed out on a bench after a late night outing and the phone fell on the pavement / tar road. Only on reddit. Everything is possible.

So what do you think of the upgrade from 1+5 to 1+7? Worth it?

7 Pro! ...and yes, definitely worth it if you passed the 6/6T. The UFS 3.0 alone is worth it. Startup time is stupidly quick.

I upgraded from 1+5 to 1+7 Pro. This was definitely worth it and I bet it's the same for an upgrade to 1+7!
@djsubterrain @.vermilion
My 7 pro just arrived. Coming from 5. Hope it's worth it.
I've had the paint off mine come off on a little spot below the alert slider.
Do you think this is some sort of manufacture defect or just my own carelessness?
I have been using the phone with the case (the one includes in the box) since the very beginning.
Although the case doesn't cover that part, I don't see how I could have caused the paint to come off. If it's just due to some light scratching due to my nails when using the alert slider then I'd be quite disappointed with the durability of the frame, especially since it's made of aluminium.
