That is one tough phone. I ordered a few thin cases for the phone but since seeing these videos they are probably not necessary. A case would ruin a beautiful phone.
The camera is recessed in the North American version about a mm into the case . Just be vigilant where you set the phone down. I am thinking no case is needed for this phone.
No case or screen protector for me
that's impressive...I wouldn't try it with my iJunk

LOL!
Just be warned that if it hits the screen the right way, your screen is dead. I'm using a tpu case with a lip to protect the screen a bit. I'd be fine without the case though...
I am still trying to think what the screen reminds me of. The bubbled out effect.
Its like an old product....
omg lol that's the first time i've watched one of these and cringed. that is one tough phone!

Damn, I hate the feeling of going over to wipe a "smudge" from your screen but finding out it is a scratch. Worst part is, I bought screen protectors but haven't put them on yet :'( . Am I the first? What would you guys do if you were me? Go exchange in store? Call and make them send me a new one?

Any clue how? I keep my phone in my old G1 nylon sleeve but have no protector or shell/skin/etc on it otherwise. It's either in the sleeve or in my hand, though.

I think I left a plastic ball point pen in my pocket with my phone for a few minutes earlier today. Maybe the tip is metal? Also I keep my keys in my other pocket but MAYBE, SOMEHOW my keys got put in the same pocket as my phone (which I severely doubt). Because My keys are the only things I can think of that would have scratched it =(. I'll do a bit my investigation later.... It sucks too because if I exchange it I'm afraid I'll get a phone with lint under the screen. My first mytouch had lint under the screen so I exchanged it for my current one, which WAS perfect. Gosh, I'm so pissed right now..

Damn. That sucks. I just took my screen protector and my gel case off. I hate he added bulk of the case, but hate trying to get it in and out of my pocket even more. And the lint it collects is super awesome. Just takes away from the aesthetics so much.
Also, I had a screen protector I got off amazon... 5 for $1.99 delivered. They are identical to zagg except for less surface texture... but, still rubbery and tacky feeling.
Has anyone found a full face screen protector that is the rigid glass like type?

make up a story about how you have a hardward issue and you have tried to master reset the phone. then they will send you a warranty replacement.
i always do this once my phones get too beat up
just call 611 and say your (speaker phone or track pad or anything) doesnt work and theyll have you do a factory reset once you say you finished reseting the phone and tell them it still doesnt work theyll send you a new one under the 12 month warrenty
lol watch out it gets addicting :/ anytime i dropped a phone id just return it lol ive seen over 20 G1's pass through :/ only thing you they dont replace is back cover and battery

So I was answering the phone while shutting the car door last night and lost grip of my G2x. Heard it hit the ground and initially was pretty pissed especially when I seen that it was laying screen down. I picked it up and inspected the screen and to my surprise Gorillas Glass lived up to its name and the screen doesnt have a scratch on it. There were some scratches on the battery cover that actually rubbed out using my finger and finger nail. There are couple small scratches on the phone it self but since their not on the screen they dont bother me. Heres some pics of the aftermath.
Glad it's still intact...thanks for the pics.
Good to hear, thanks for the pics.

No im not into making my phones bigger than they are, I use a leather belt carry case and just a screen protector which hasnt came in yet so thats why it was dropped completely naked.
Would anyone have a extra unused screen protector that i may have? :/ i dont want to buy it locally for $6 and i dont want to buy it from china because they usually make it either too big or too small. Thanks.....

Yeah exactly, that's the reason I dumped Invisible Shield. That's why I get the cheapest ones from China. No gimmick to em, they're just clear plastic sheets that fits perfectly, so that I don't lose the quality of the IPS.
Why even use a screen protector? It makes sense if you're working in a very dusty or greasy environment, or if you walk around with rocks or screws in your pockets. Aside from that, I see no reason for it.

I agree. I think they're more of a hindrance than a benefit. I've tried some before and never found one that didn't degrade the screen clarity.

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 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.

I have this case myself and bought it for $10 used. The sides by the power and volume buttons do tend to "warp" a bit, but maybe an 8th of an inch. Very slim and durable case that will take a beating. I highly recommend it, my wife wants one lol.

I stopped using it and put my "old reliable" (a Diztronic TPU) back on. I can't get over how it honestly feels like you're about to snap your phone in half when putting it in or taking it out of the case.
The case is pretty fantastic. Scary if you need to take the phone out for a battery pull. Feels like I'm going to bend my phone and break it getting this thing off lol. I scored this and a Moshi screen protector for $5 too. BEST SCREEN PROTECTOR EVER. Anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, I'd pay full price for another one.

Just put a Moshi on my Rocket tonight. Quick, easy install. Considering how thick it is, I'm not sure that I should be using tight-fitting TPUs anymore (very concerned they'll damage the edges), but since I've got a new non-TPU case on the way and have plenty of the looser-fitting mesh hybrids lying around, I think I'm set. My wife wants one for her Rocket, too. First screen protector I've tried that she's ever gone, "Whoa, I want one of those."
