Just got the free vr and as soon as I put the phone in the gear VR for the first time, it scuffed all 4 corners of the front bezel. I don't really care because I'm on T-Mobile jump on demand and will upgrade soon but I wanted to warn everyone else that purchased the phone.
Never happened with mine and I've used it many times. Sounds like you bumped it.

Used it many times. Has never happened to me. Did you read the instructions on how to place it in? The space for the phone is much bigger than the phone so I can't see how it's possible.
Will phone fit with spigen case applied ?

I purchased my Gear VR a couple of months ago when I still had my S6. I now have a S7E. I used it with both phones dozens of times. The way the phone inserts and connects to the VR, I do not see how it could scuff your bezel. If that was an issue I'm sure you would be hearing about it since there has to be thousands of people using the Gear VR.

No your phone cannot fit in the VR while in a case. Don't worry it will not scuff. If scuffing was an issue you would be hearing about from more than one user.

I dropped the Nexus S down a few steps, and there are no scratches or dents.
The camera works fine, and nothing rattles when I shake it.
Are there any other internal damage issues that I should be worried about?
How dare you. The main thing you should be worried about is your nexus running off to a new owner. Lol.

I throw mine around my store all day with my seidio case just to show the durability and sell some extra cases. Haven't had any issues yet and it really takes a beating. I'm talking literally throwing it across our sprint store.

I bought that case! Yay!
Edit: to the Original Poster, just fyi, everything attached to the motherboard will survive quite severe shocks. Usually the screen will break before anything else. You may have seen phones with shattered LCD screens that are in otherwise perfectly functioning order
My cracked screen is starting to get annoying and I want to fix it. Who has replaced just the glass and how easy/risky is it to do? I also found a place I could send it to and get it done for about 90 bucks, but I'd much rather only spend 20 if it is fairly easy to do myself
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I work at a repair shop. We only do the entire touchscreen assembly. I've repaired at least 15 S3s. If you attempt to do just the glass, it will be difficult and it will probably look like ****. Note: I'm good at what I do, and it still seems difficult. Not to mention, if it's going to look like ****, why bother? Use insurance or save up enough to change the whole display.
See i thought it would be tougher than it looks. You know of a good place to purchase the display?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Its fairly difficult to do. Especially without a heat gun and such. In the past I have replaced the glass on 2 different smartphones using a blow dryer and about $5 worth of tools.
After watching several videos for the GS3 I decided to pay to have it done. I found a repair shop in NYC that promised same day service. They charged $170 to replaced only the glass. In terms of looks it looked beautiful but the functionality was a bit sketchy, so I returned there and they ordered the entire display assembly and installed it free of additional charge. It works fine now.
In retrospect, I should have returned it to Samsung and had them replace it for me but I didn't want to wait (there's a 1 wk turnaround time). At the time Samsung was charging $170(don't know how much they charge now)
It possible that the repair job I got was an anomaly but imo the way Samsung has constructed the screen/digitizer assembly it is fairly difficult for a lay person to replace just the glass themselves.
Hope my experience was helpful
I never found it to be very difficult..

Since the OP was talking about GS3 I'm assuming that's the replacement you were referring to.
Did your phone function well after the replacement? As I said above mine seemed to lose some touch sensitivity after the glass-only was replaced.

this is very exciting... having my phone come with me on missions in afghanistan with just the tpu case that comes with the 7500mah battery is making me nervous lol this is what i need!
While this looks really nice, do you think it would make my phone even heavier/bulkier?

I have one of those on my s4, the battery life is brilliant, you can't kill this thing no matter what you do before let's say 4 to 5 days.
It does add a lot of bulk though, but also makes it very drop resistant however due to the tpu wrap around.
Another downside is that when you do have to charge it, better expect 12 to 14 hours charging time...

Definitely best move made by company. ..
Now this rugged case give you unlimited choices to use with any extended battery and making custom backplate should be peace of cake ...
On other hand just go with battery and rugged case and you will have this for life ....
I'm ordering for S3 S4 and Note 3...
I'm now definitely zero lemon follower....
This company is going in good direction. ....one that listen customers and develop finally first time real rugged case&extended battery:sly:
Success is never final
Failure is fatal
Just ordered one for my galaxy s4 and can't wait to get it. Look very similar to otter box case with support for my 7500 mAh battery. And only $20 I love ZeroLemon

If you're into bulky protective cases then I'd go with that.I love their batteries too
I hope the rugged case will be available on Amazon UK soon, because if I order from Amazon US, I've to pay £9.77 for shipping not including the custom fees and the case is only £13.02
I just got it yesterday. No review yet bit I figure some pics at least. The shell feels like tpu material as opposed to the silicon rubber used by most other rugged cases.

I know this phone hasn't even been released yet so this thread is a little premature BUT hear me out.
Last year from what I can see from the Moto X 2014 threads was that there was not a single tempered glass screen protector that actually worked thanks to a slight curve at the edge of the glass. Which makes me think it could possibly be the case this year also.
I know one tempered glass screen protector is actually now available to pre-order on Amazon ... although it does have a in stock date of Dec 2015.

Has anyone tried them out? I just purchased a brown one for under $10. I figure it's worth a try for that price point. Much easier to stomach than the outrageous $49 Samsung wants. I guess the biggest concern is whether it'll make my wrist breakout.
I just received a blue one from ebay. Little difficult to clip in, but seems secure once attached. Band is a bit more flimsy than samsung bands. Clasp is shiny instead of a matte. I'm also concerned about what it will do to my wrist. So, I guess we will see.
