I just bought a case so I don't need my zagg shield anymore.
I was just wondering if anyone wants it? I'd send my stuff in for the brand new replacement and then simply mail it to you.
You'd just have to pay for the shipping/handling that Zagg makes the consumer pay. And if YOU ever needed it replaced, mail it back to me and I'll send in the used pieces back to zagg. again, you only have to pay the price of shipping/handling.
Just doing this for the sake of not wasting a Lifetime warranty. I know it's kind of a hassle for you, but saving money, even if it's not mine, still makes me happy.
If you have questions just email: [email protected]
EDIT: I just checked with zagg, they say the shipping cost is 2.99 +tax. So you'd be getting it for pretty much 3 bucks.
I have a zagg invisishield. couldn't stand it on the screen anymore so took it off about a month ago. been debating taking the full body coverage off since its starting to et ucky and i really didn't like that it made the phone look glossy in the first place.
Anyone use their nexus one with no coverage? how has it fared? I am religious about my right pocket being for my phone only and nothing else, and regularly use the sleeve that came with it. I'm thinking if i get rid of the shield i won't have problems.. but i just know the second it comes off i'l drop it for the first time or throw it in a pocket with something hard and sharp.

haha, +1 about the right pocket. Its my designated 'phone pocket'. Honestly my phone would be perfectly fine if i didnt' have the shield on (from scratches) and i've never dropped my phone yet.
However, it's only been 3 months with the phone, and since i rooted mine, I'm really worried about someone dropping it and breaking it, which is why I bought a case.
I DO know that the shield has given me a lot less to worry about, that tiny things on my desk or dropping some coins on the screen won't damage it.
Are these things really necessary? I guess the Body Glove gel case is OK, but I don't abuse my phone and think these things might be unnecessary.
Also do teh screen protectors make it obvious that they are on the phone?
i got both just in case since i cant get insurance on my phone because i used a cross upgrade on my account and ATT wont let me...but regardless i say do it.
I'm careful as well but I slipped my iPhone one time and it bit pavement... Good thing I had a hard case.
With THIS phone I'm considering going the Insurance route and just using a bodyguardz for scratches.
Edit- after thinking about it... Pay $5/mo with a $50 deductible or pay one-time $30 for a good case (when they come out)??? Makes no sense to buy insurance, for me anyway.
I usually have not carried a case but honestly I have dropped every single phone I have had since the first gen iPhone at least once. Sometimes I can't help it no matter how careful I am. A couple times it has been other people dropping my phone.
Less than 24 hours after getting the captivate I was getting out of my car at work and the phone is large enough that I guess when I sat down in my car it poked out of my pocket a little. When I got out of the car it fell out of my pocket and hit the ground. Luckily I had a case. Better paying 25 or whatever for the case than having that 1% chance of an accident ruin the phone.

Should protect your phone but look sexy too.protect your phone but look sexy too.If you are absolutely against a case then just get a carrying case that you take it in and out of.
Screen protector is a must with touch screen if you're a guy. Screen films are not noticible if you pick a good brand. Read through the captivate accessory sub forum for more info.
Today before my baseball game, my whole team was sitting in the stands. The bleachers were like the 4x2 wood bleachers with tons of cracks and holes. Anyways, I was at the top, and set my phone down. A foul ball was hit right back at us and everyone jumped and my phone sadly fell through the crack. I saw it fall all the way to the concrete ground. It was at least a good 30 feet up in the air. When I ran down to get it, I expected a cracked screen or a broken phone, but all I saw was a small scratch on the otterbox case
I am now convinced that this is the best case out there!
Congrats on your phone surviving! I'm assuming you have Otterbox Defender? That's all I use. Sometimes the added bulk and weight are a drag, but stories like yours always remind me that it's worth it.

haha idk i actually got it from craigslist and it came with the phone
i think its called an otterbox commuter
My Commuter saved my Inspire too, there's a thread about it somewhere down there. Glad to hear stories like these
I actually ordered a Casemate Tough today because I want to have two to switch between and I'm a little tired of the Commuter's lint magnet corners and slippery back. Great case overall, though.
Sent from a telegraph station somewhere in northern Russia
Glad to hear it saved your phone. I chose the commuter over the defender because it is not as bulky. It seems safe but it is good to hear it has worked for someone.
mine has saved my phone a few times
I wouldn't get the Defender for a Lent Free experience.
The Commuter has less of the rubber lent magnet exposed then the Defender, seeing as how the Defender is completely wrapped in that lent magnet
I went with a Seido case for my Inspire due to the less lent magnet body. Can't report on durability due to no accidents .. however I can say that it feels VERY solid.
I really can't stand the lent magnet either. It smells fishy. Also it only comes around part of the year. I tried using the lent magnet before and it was Ashes by wednesday Next try will be in my Palm Sunday. Maybe I will just make a lent promise not to use my phone. Who am I kidding?
I dropped my Otterboxed Tilt 2 on a concrete garage floor, and at the grocery store with nary a scratch or damage of any kind. Otterbox... Good cracker!

I use the Defender and it's never gir lint on it. It mostly lives in a shirt pocket but has been the best case I've ever put on any phone.

While cycling I pulled my phone out to change the track and hit a bump in the concrete, the phone went up in the air, caught the front tire and shot out like it was sent from a pitching machine!
10-20 feet down the road, the phone is fine and the case has a small chip in the top corner. Otterbox Commuter saved my phone as well!
My Otterbox Commuter sadly is no more. It did its job and protected my phone, but the hard plastic outer shell cracked in two. Got caught in the spinning blades of a fan I was working on at the shop, got slung across the room and smacked into the wall. So no complaints here. I decided I would go bigger and got the Defender this time around.
i neved drop my HTC but my wife iphone 4 is jumping always from her hands....and is alive thx to a otter box defender....best case ever
I think I may have the only otterbox defender failure story. lol. I was on vacation with a few of my buddies to Myrtle Beach and we had arrived there earlier that day. So we decide to celebrate, as normal people would, and I had a few nice beverages and sat my phone in my lap on the outside balcony. I stood up, forgetting all about my phone, and watched it skid across and plumet to its doom. after falling 11 stories, It smashed the corner and shattered my screen and then proceeded to bounce into the bottom of the 13 foot deep pool. I still miss my droid Incredible to this day!

lol that sucks but at least it failed from an extreme occurrence that no one would expect it to survive through in the first place. The IPhone users are fanatical about their otter boxes I've seen people throw it against brick walls to show how tough it is.

Yeah, i know countless phones that have been thrown across parking lots and against walls. I guess there lucky they never directly hit the screen! That would definitely change there opinion. lol
otter
its a awesome case
Otterbox Commuter saved my phone too! I install cameras for rider photo's on roller coasters around USA, Canada and Mexico. I was in Cedar Point OH working on Dragster when I dropped my phone from a 25ft ladder. It hit the 6th step and bounced about 10ft away. The only damage was a crack where the power button is (the thin piece of plastic than goes around the rubber nipple).
Good case =]
My pocket was free and has always kept my expensive smart phone from falling off bleachers.

So the unthinkable happened this morning when I woke up. My phone fell from my lap and the screen cracked in four different places. The digitizer is shot, as i can't get any touch responses. Samsung really screwed us over with making it the way it is made. I am not sure if I should get it replaced, apparently I have to pay 100 bucks to do so. By the way, I think this is the most cracked android phone out there. So it now can be said it competes with the iphone on all levels. Great f'ing job Samsung. Terrible idea to use Gorilla Glass II and make it so thin that it break falling out of bed (which is about a 2.5 ft fall). Hell, I had the stupid case with the flip cover which didnt do jack.
Anyways, what do you think my options are?
1. Pay repair fee
2. Get a used phone from swappa or ebay
3. Do nothing and have no phone.
4. use an old phone while you decide.
If it was me, I'd repair the screen and then either get a decent case (flip case is probably worse than no case since it offers basically no protection but gives a false sense of security) or sell the phone for something more sturdy if you are prone to accidents.
The phone can be sturdy if you put a decent case on it. Ive dropped my phone twice from about 5-6 feet. Once on to concrete and once on a wooden deck. My case absorbed the impact nicely both times and I have 0 damage.
I would honestly just pay the $100 for the insurance if you have it. I had to use mine because my screen cracked and they send me a brand new GS3 including the battery, charger, and headphones. It's not worth trying to fix since you can get a new one.
I bought insurance through Verizon because these things do happen. You may want to consider it as it covers theft, lost, damages etc out of the first year...

i dropped mine from 5 feet and my five year old stepped right on it. no damage, otterbox defender
Hey guys,
In full, I got the nexus for my birthday from my gf, it was an amazing gesture. but, I figured I shouldn't take it out on my 21st birthday, so I kept it in the box for the night. The next day, I broke it, left it on my lap while sitting on a bench, stood up and it dropped. i brought it to a local repair shop(only because I didn't want to fudge the repair- you know, Murphy's Law) and ill have it by next week. SO, I figured that because it seems like the Nexus 4 is so fragile, I will be getting a case to put on it before I even leave the shop.
I pillaged the fourms and a few other resources, and I came across this;
http://www.amazon.com/Optimus-Nexus...SOY4M/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=AGV0KWFGZE8NK
It seems like it will do everything I need, but I can't stand how it doesn't show the front of the case. something like this is what i'd like;
http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-BLACK...NEXUS-4-E960-/390527287481?pt=PDA_Accessories
basically I'd like protection in the back, and front, something like an otterbox.
Pluses would be a kickstand, and the ability to put it on my belt.
Any help would be appreciated.
I have the case from the first link, the lip is about 2-3 mm tall and with the case on it covers all of the chrome. I does get link stuck to it if u choose a black color version. Also, after reading a thread of a guy whose n4 broke from water damage, I think the port covers are a plus. Overall very rugged, though one con is that the buttons are a little harder to press. There's a thread here on both cases.
