In case : repeatedly, but no harm done..
Wothout case: Only once, and it got scratched on the front near the Bluetooth led and near the answerbutton below.
No errors !
dropped it once. the point of impact was directly on the yellow/red led which pushed the led inside the XDA2. no errors occurred. but i'm pissed!
you're all lucky buggers, i've dropped my xda twice in the last year. First time it cracked the screema nd had to replace that, and dropped it again this morning and the screen's messed up but not cracked, how do you lot get away with it, i didn't even drop it from a great distance and it was a capeted floor
Why i am asking the times you dropped it, beacouse mine was dropped a miniut ago. i was so nervous and worried. but there is no scratches or errors, when the time it was dropped, it restarted and search for something i found bad, but there is nothing bad happens, still i am worried and nervous.
if there's nothing obvious just after you drop it, chances are you're lucky and it'll be fine
Dropped it 5-6 times (Im not clumsy, really, Ive had it for 10 months now ), always in the standard case, which offers little protection on the sides, resulting in a number of scratches to the device on the sides. No errors however, seems like a tough enough device. If I put on a new cover it will be as good as new
Surur
i dropped my device once and a little peace of the black plastic is cracked.
Who knows where i can get the black peace from the back site of the phone? I have search here in the Netherlands but doesn't find it yet
Dropped the XDA I in its case dozens of times, no real damage. Unfortunately, I have been carrying the XDA II in the old case, and it fell out twice now and hit the pavement naked. No functional damage, but sure scratched it up.

The crack in the black plastic was probably not from the drop. A buddy and myself had the crack develop by the power button and then aother to where it made the piece fall out. Neither of us had dropped ours at that time. Since then only twice in the case. One no damage, second hit the corner by the voice recorder button. Drop on the pavement from about 2 1/2 feet. No functional damage but the silver part is definatley got the marks to show...

seriously, how do you buggers get away with scratches when mine always gets damage i have to pay for, i'd give anything to know taht if i drop if it won't cost me a penny
I have quick reactions and have always managed to stick my foot under it to cushion the fall.
lol, i have steel toe capped boots, i think it would be slightly worse
I dropped mine on concrete . . . no cover . . . naked. The antenna cover (black plastic) cracked diagonally up from the record button to the top of the back and then back down past the external antenna connector. It seems to be holding fast and working perfectly - but at some point I am going to want to replace it.
i dropped mine of a roof and its still works just damage to my case on the corner next to my green light so if anyone knows how to get a new one please let me know
a roof? this get's better, mine fell off a bed and it's buggered

Please be advised. I dropped my phone from the side of my bed. It went face down on semi hard wood. The front screen is cracked. No joke. I have had the phone for 2 weeks only. I saw all the youtube drop tests, and I can assure you that they were very lucky to have their phone screen surviving from pocket and shoulder drop. Get a very good case and screen protector. Do not use the phone without it. Just trust me, from the side of my bed (one food and 3/4 high). I may have been unlucky, but there will be other circumstance of unluckiness. Just get a case, a very good one and a very good screen protector. They can replace the screen for 350 plus tx, but you loose the water resistance after automatically.
This situation sounds exactly similar to my Galaxy Note 4 as well.. I left it on my bed and not sure how it landed when it fell off (1-2ft high) off the bed. Cracked through my glass screen protector and left a small hole on my screen. It looks like someone took a screwdriver and stab my phone really hard. I didn't have anything hard particular on the floor and my only assumption it probably landed on a powerbrick.
I work as a mechanic in a shop and by mistake, I put my phone on the bumper of a customer's car and put the garbages on the sidewalk like usual and forgot about my phone. After a few hours, I realized that my phone was missing thinking it must of felt in a garbage box and that box was gone in the garbage truck. So I called my provider to suspend my sim. The next day just before lunchtime, a cop pulls in to the shop and asks for me by my name, and takes my phone out of his pocket and hands it to me. He said the someone found it in the middle of the road on main Street and brought it to the police station. My phone spent a complete day in the middle of the road on a rainy day, I don't know how many cars drove over it, but the only damage on the phone was the tempered glass screen protector all smashed up and the phone has small dents on the back like something heavy drove over it. The phone is in perfect working condition and the screen is still intact, not a scratch on it. Personally I have never seen a phone that is made this strong but this phone still amazes me even after 6 months of using it
I am trying to decide on making the switch from iPhone to the Pixel 3a. All of my devices have been waterproof, but the 3a isn’t.....so I’m wondering how much of an effect would rain or even a few drops of water while at the beach would have on the 3a?

I've used it many times in mild rain but haven't ever dipped into water.
So if you are talking about that, it'll be good.
i doubt drops of water hurt. i have a skinomi screen protector which was a wet application and they give you small tube of soapy water with a spray nozzle to wet the screen. i spray the soapy water on the protector to clean it. seems to me the only problem would be an excessive amount of water entering the headphone jack. like if it was dropped into water and went under water..
mine fell into a puddle once and was submerged for about 5 - 10 seconds. It was fine after.
I dropped my first one into a toilet full of water (after it had been flushed). Grabbed it out and turned it off w/in 15sec.
Left it off and tried it 2 days later. Screen probs (multiple phantom touches a second).
Ended up buying a new one and leaving that one in a drawer. Actually just tried it again for the first time since then (maybe 3/4 months) and it's totally dead. No lights when plugged in to charge - no response otherwise.
So yea - be careful w/ water. At least it's relatively inexpensive to replace.
My GF left hers in her pants and I did laundry. She asked where her phone was as the washer was filling up. I don't know how much water got in it by the time I pulled it out, but it was DOA and had some water pour out of the charging port and speaker grill. Insurance replacement through Fi wasn't too bad. $50 no questions asked. Pretty much told them. "Water damage, it's dead, Jim."
Normal things like rain are fine, but if water gets in the charging port or bottom speaker grill, kiss it goodbye.
I am normally super careful when handling my devices, so this really hurts. I did put my phone in to my jeans jacket front pocket and as I leaned forward to tie my shoes it slipped out and hit carpet!!! from no more than 2 feet. I am waiting for any protective case to arrive so the phone was completely naked. It must have hit the corner of the front screen directly, the crack is right above the factory applied screen protector. Is this front screen fixable? Is there a Samsung repair center in Los Angeles area that I can go and get estimate? They used to have store on Wilshire blvd, but it's not there anymore. Guys, get protective cases, this was really no more that 2 feet drop to carpet. It sucks. No damage to inner screen, fortunately.
My nightmare was solved faster than I thought. Bravo Samsung experience store in Glendale, CA. Called them at the time of opening at 11 am and booked appointment for 4 pm ( even if their web site had earliest service opening for November 5 - almost 11 days fully booked ) and after 2 hours waiting and $154.00 from my valet my front screen has been replaced. Z Fold 2 customers have priority. Good to know. No factory installed screen protection anymore, but surprisingly the screen feels much better and even snappier. Very happy with the Samsung customer service in USA. Not happy that still any good factory made phone case available as of now...
samsung store in glendale.

That just sucks pal, sorry to see this. From the tear down videos and fact phone not waterproof should be a reasonable easy fix.
Oh man that's a bummer. I've had mine for 2 days and my case won't be here for another day or so. I actually got Samsung Care+ because I'm so afraid of dropping this thing.
