I am creating this thread to talk about when you dropped your phone and if it survived.
So here is my story....
I went to the movies with my wife and I had my phone in a pouch and was sitting on my lab. I moved my leg and my phone slipped from my lab and by the sound of it sliding on the floor, I knew it had slipped off the pouch. I started looking for it with my hands since couldn't see anything, couldn't find it, thankfully my wife did find it.
My wife handed it to me and my biggest fear was that my beautiful shiny, screen will be all scratched, to my amazement no scratchs on the screen whatsoever, it did get scratch on the metal part, but not bad at all. So now I can really say that Gorilla glass works on concrete lol
What's your story?

I dropped mine getting out of my car face down onto asphalt and thought the screen would be demolished. Not a single scratch! My heart stopped as I saw it falling.

I know dude it feels super nice naked. I agree 100% with you
There is a protector I saw in walmart is called wrapsol and it protects the whole phone. It is 20.00 but I saw some reviews about it and it seems to protect the phone very well. Scratch protection + naked phone = Awesomeness!

I dropped mines while it was in the body glove and the stupid [email protected] opened up on impact and now I have the top right corner scuffed. The screen protector had a scratch about an inch. I dont know if the screen would have scratched without the protector but hey Im happy I had it on.

man, ive dropped my g1 from my lap countless times and its still going strong..but the feel of the mt4g kinda tells me this will happen.
Bro that's crazy.
I dropped my MT4G while I was running on the treadmill @ 7 mph, the battery flew off and the phone flew onto the concrete behind me. Doesn't have a single scratch. If it was only 2 feet how could your screen be that bad?

All depends on the drop. Back in my blackberry days I had a pearl that fell 5' in a thin silicone case and not even a mark. My wife had a storm in a thick silicone case and fell 3' and the display looked like the OP's. It's all about the way the phone hits.
Glad your getting a new one! Wish we has gorilla glass!!!

Bulky, yes... 3 weeks ago me and Infuse were playing hide and go seek... I had to go, Infuse wins, can not find it. At 30 mph, I find the Infuse, in my rear-view mirror, tumbling down the street trying it hardest to catch up to me. I knew the phone was toast, I turned around with a slight tear in the left eye... The Body Glove case took a beating, each corner has road rash, but not a scratch on the Infuse. Hollywood couldn't have written that script and be believable. Maybe it was sheer luck, but Bulky Body Glove case FTW.

Then again, I have 4 cases including the HC Ballistic.
So i got it today. I dont like it.
I got mine a week or so ago for my infuse. Paid 5.00 for the body glove and its not bad, hell its only 5 bucks. I hated the naked shield, it made the phone feel rough around the edges. I peeled it off a day or to after I got it.
I bought 3 sets of screen protectors. One from china, one from the us, one from ny. Random sellers with good ratings. Turns out the ones from us and china scratched when even wiped with the given cloth. And the one from ny had way too many bubbles (not due to dust. It was because it was too stiff?)
So if anyone has any extras that are good that you can spare, would you be willing to donate it to me? . Please and thank yous!

i actually just got a couple of screen protectors from eBay and they were pretty good. Went on nice, with no bubbles or deteriorating of visual quality. its also fingerprint proof which is really convenient especially since i use my phone a lot. check it out, pretty good price

I will vouch for the protectors BlazinHitman posted, I bought 1 while I was waiting on my G2x to arrive and I will say it is a pretty decent screen shield. Also out of sheer curiosity I ordered a set from T-Mobile and the ones I go from then were the worst ones I have ever seen. They give you these mm thick bullet proof screen shields that you can barely see through. Almost makes your display look like a old school gameboy
ahaha hows the touch screen with the screen protector? ahahah. and just out of curiosity, if we cant put the protector on with the first try, is it still good for a second go? as my hands arent very stable.

No no no, the mm thick one I was referring to was the ones I bought from T-Mobile when I ordered the phone. Those things I swear are thick enough to be bullet proof. The ones you ordered are thin, and clear. You will not even know you have it on the phone when you get it on.
cool. is it scratch proof? not totally scratch proof, i mean like scratchproof from like cards and stuff. .
and does anyone have the replacement tools to change the bezel? i ordered a bezel but it didnt come with the tools. . if anyone has extras, would ya'll be kind enough to send me a screw driver and on of those poppy thingies? thanks )). i cant stand scratches or marks on my phone so i wipe the phone everytime i take it out of my pocket. and the guy i bought it from screwed me over by giving me a screwed up bezel with dents and really noticable scratches.

I put mine on using my old blockbuster card and had no problems or any scuff marks.
And I do not have any small tools like that sorry.
yea like panowolf suggested use a credit card or something like that to smooth out the screen protector when u put it on. also make sure to clean it extra well, it comes with a couple of cleaning cloths. if you put it on correctly u should be good to go
i read that its reusable. we can just wash it?
the thing is... the crap screen protectors i got from china scratched from the credit card. (lol). or maybe i was just pressing too hard.which still doesnt mke any sense.

Yes you can reuse/wash it. Just be sure to put it on slow. Most people who put them on themselves just lay the entire protector down and try to work the bubbles out. You gotta slowly apply it and work the air out as you go. But im sure you know this already
I ordered the lifetime stealth shieldz from amazon, 2 for 5 bucks in case you needed another for whatever reason. I've only had it on for a couple weeks but it still looks as good as new, feels good no scratches and still perfectly clear.

are you talking about the sides? cause then yea i see what your talking about, thats the only problem with these, other ways it covers the entire screen lengthwise including the soft keys and up to the top by the front camera
Same question. Does anyone have experience getting the full width screen protectors?
Specifically I'm looking for either matte or mirror ones.
I guess I'm one of those people, I buy a phone and I will never buy a case. My reasoning...I bought a phone for xxx.xx, I want to look at my phone not a case!
Anyway, I never bought a case for this phone, it was sexy. I have dropped this phone in almost every angle possible, every surface I've walked. No, I'm not that wobbly, just happens over the period of time
I even dropped it screen first on a pavement. This phone remains intact, barely any scratches and with every new rom I install, god I fall in love again(or something like that xD).
Just curious, is it just me..or is every MT4G built so damn strong?
+ 1
Have owned mine since it first came out, have dropped it a million times, always holding my breath expecting the screen to crack or something crazy like it won't turn on anymore, but it just keeps taking it like a champ. No case also, battle wounds to prove it...have seen friends drop their phones (not mt4gs) relatively soon after purchasing them and cracking screens...thought I was just lucky with my drops so far but lets me relax a bit knowing I'm not the only one....

Back when I was delivering auto and truck parts, I'd keep my phone on my leg (for GPS) and forget about it when I got out of my truck on occasion. Its fallen glass first on some rocky gravel, dropped out of cars, it even has fallen down the stairs... the back doesn't look very pretty lol but my screen is still nice and responsive and everything works so that's fine by me.

I don't understand how all of you end up dropping your MT4Gs that often. I have had this phone for about 1.5 years and dropped it once, and then I got a case for it (slipped out of my pocket while taking it out). Never dropped it again.
Then again, I'm glad to know that if I ever do drop it again, it will take the impact like a champ.
yea my phone has fallen so many times without a case and has never taken any damage to the screen. My friend on the other hand, got a glacier about a year ago and the screen was completely smashed when it fell off his lap while he was sitting on the floor.

You guys will get a kick out of this then. Like others here, I've dropped it, thrown it(accidentally), all without little more than a scratch on the back. While sitting at a table once, I knocked my phone against my forehead and heard a pop. Looked at my phone and had obliterated my front glass. Must've caught the perfect spot. Haha.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
Yeah, I dropped mine a million times with nothing but misc. scratches and such. Slipped out of my hand today while checking the mail, fell face first onto the driveway, and the screen was obliterated. Fortunately, I've got a warranty exchange overnighted to me, so I'll be back up and running tomorrow
The Beast
My friend and I joke that this phone is "the Beast".
It takes a beating and keeps coming back for more. He even started intentionally throwing his phone on the ground it and still rocks it strong.
Anyone experience the battery cover peeling. I know my phone gets hot now that I am running custom rom but I started noticing that the back cover is peeling and don't know if it causing the phone to get hotter or is caused by it. and as far as dropping the phone i could only consider dropping it twice the other times have been dropped in a carpet which doesn't do much except get the battery door out. Like the previous comment this phone is a beast

Double poster! Lol.
Yeah my wife and I both are experiencing this. There is also a thread about scraping if off after it starts peeling because they seemed to have put that top layer on as an after-thought. So it's common enough.
Let's see...
Dropped face first on concrete. Replaced scratched screen protector.
Dropped face first on concrete (again).
Chrome surround came loose. Snapped it back no problem.
Dropped on hardwood floor and then accidentally kicked across the room, rebounding off my coffee table and into my end table.
No damage.
I love this phone...
Thinking of upgrading to an Amaze this fall. Going to miss this one. (Though I might keep it as a backup phone. Haven't decided yet..)

I pretty much have a lot of friends with the same phone as mine (MT4G) I've seen many painful things, my friend who has one slammed his phone on a corner desk repeatedly and yet it didn't have a scratch or bump, I dropped my phone many times too. When I herd my cousin broke her mytouch I was shocked because I thought it was impossible to break it. Then I realized she broke a lot of her phones such as the sensation, iphone 3gs, iphone 4, G1 and broke a cheap phone and dropped her last phone in the toilet. She has a iPhone4S now and i hope she doesn't break that one ;-:

That's so perfect. I don't want it to happen to my phone just to prove, but you can attest to durability of HTC One.
Yes, this phone is alot tougher than it looks (and it looks pretty tough) lol. I dropped mine on asphalt from about six feet about an hour after buying it and it landed facedown. No case, no screen protector. No scratches and no dings in the metal. HTC would never warranty their screen for six months unless they were damn sure it wasn't going to break easily. Especially since they are in financial hardship already. It's a big risk. Thankfully, this phone is tough as nails. Not like the S4. I broke three s4 screens in less than a year.
Dropped mine within 24 hours of purchase when it slipped out of my gym shorts exiting the car. Had one minor scuff on the top but a nice small scratch on the back. i was so mad, went and bought a case for it asap.
Consider yourself lucky.

Perfectly. It wasn't a big drop, just shows how easily the back can be scuffed.
Dropped mine at the gym too and wasn't so lucky. Glass shattered. My new case was sitting on my porch for me when I got home so I was about 30 min from getting it when it fell. Called HTC and they sent me a new phone overnight. I'm so lucky they have the 6 month glass warranty. I didn't even consider it when buying the phone, but now I'll buy HTC every time if they keep this warranty going.

Dropped mine on concrete from about 4 feet flat on its back. Not a scratch. Glad HTC is still building quality rock solid devices. I still put a spigen slim armor or tpu case on it though. This phone is so smooth that I know I'm going to drop it eventually

Dropped mine within 24 hours of purchase when it slipped out of my gym shorts exiting the car. Had one minor scuff on the top but a nice small scratch on the back. i was so mad, went and bought a case for it asap.
Consider yourself lucky.

Did the exact same thing but getting into the car from the gym - this is one slippery phone. It bounced a few times on the pavement which is not smooth. The left corners are both scuffed up but the screen does not have a scratch on it. No case on it at the time - I only use the case while biking as I have broke too many phones on the MTB.
I was riding my bike over a bridge and heard a *thud* behind me, felt my pocket and phone was gone, looked back and there it was sitting face-down on the bridge lol. Went and picked it up and not a scratch!! Man I love this thing.

Well, it happened to me today. Girlfriend had the phone and dropped it getting out of the car. Not as fortunate as you guys because the screen is now cracked . Took my otter box case off this morning too...

So you did the HTC Advantage route? I was curious about that. How exactly does it work? Do you have to send your device to HTC and have them fix it? Or do they just send you a new device?
