How beat up is your Droid?

I dropped my Droid today. Going up a flight of stairs, it jumped out of my inside jacket pocket and hit the stairs ... then fell through a crack (about 4 ft) and hit the ground. I was like Noooooooooo ... and it all happened in slow mo. I jumped down and ran to my phone. A lil ding to the body but everything is good. AND it happened the night I decided to take my case off of it :rolleyes:


Think I can swap it out for a new one? Im still within my 30 days.

I keep my Droid naked. Proud to say I dont see any scratches on the phone or the screen. On the other hand I have a pocket/belt clip that covers the screen and it has its fair share of dings and such. Guess count it up to being lucky? Anyways I am very hard on phones and this one seems to hold up just as well or even better than the old blackberry curve I had. That thing was a beast.

I don't have any pictures of it, but my Droid took a nice fall from my bed to my bed frame when I pulled back the covers one day. The edge of the screen is a little nicked but the actual screen is untouched. :D


What are you doing with your Droid in bed with you? Someone has a little fembot!! :eek:

Mine is flawless! It's been in a hard case and screen protector since the minute it was programmed at the store. I occasionally remove it from the hard case to wipe off any excess particles that get in there between the case and the phone, and I can't have it uncased for too long before I start getting paranoid and snap it back in, nice and snug.

I keep mine completely naked and there's only one small nick in the bezel at the top near the headphone jack. I have no idea how it got there, but it's hardly noticeable. I don't carry anything else in the pocket I carry my phone. At this point, I'm probably not going to worry about getting a case, but if the battery cover keeps popping off I might get that Innocase just to keep it on.

Haha!:p But I was getting out of bed and my Droid was on top of the covers, when I hopped out it went flying...

--^ Umm, way to be on topic. I was waiting for him (you?) to drop it off the table. Didn't happen.

I dropped mine like a week after I had it. Luckily my years of soccer have turned my feet into an extra set of hands and I was lucky to catch it before hitting the concrete. It still looks new, and it's rocking a screen protector.

lol lol :D ok ...so to please certain people ^ How beat up is your Droid? ...

Not very beat up...in fact is almost new :p
