Just my luck. So now it has a small gash on the top of the body, will that void my return to Verizon within the 30 days? It is not visible at all when I put the Body Glove on...
Uh, I have 30 days to sign up for insurance I was told?
Insurance doesn't cover cosmetic damage if the phone still functions.

To the OP, I have had a few holsters and I always end up ditching them. They are unreliable unless your a slow moving person who sits still all day lol. I use pouches now and just pocket my phone, a decent puch with some padding will cover about 95% of your phone which is way more then ANY case can offer and almost the same as a closed holster.
But it does make me consider ditching the body glove holster and just placing the phone in my pocket. Whats your opinions on this?
You have to be a little bit careful with a phone in your pocket. If your pants are tight or even moderately so, certain movements can compress the pocket and put tension on the device (squatting down, for example).
With a phone this thin and a screen this large (relative to previous generations of phones) I have to assume it's a matter of time before we see some "OMFG MY SCREEN CRACKED, it was in my pocket and I didn't do anything!!!!111" posts. I'm actually surprised we haven't; the Nexus One had lots of reports of screen cracking from the get-go. I think a lot of these incidents come from people moving about in their daily routine, performing some sort of maneuver that puts too much stress on the screen, and not realizing it. Then later they take out their phone and the screen has "magically" cracked "all by itself."
EDIT: You said you're a cable tech... Personally I wouldn't keep a large-screen smartphone in my pocket if I had to move around a lot for my job.
I never said I was definitely returning it. The scratch is not even visible when the Body Glove is placed on it, so its no big deal. But it does make me consider ditching the body glove holster and just placing the phone in my pocket. Whats your opinions on this?
holsters and pouches are lame anyway. why not do this - get the VZW store technocell black and red gradient case and put it on the phone. this accomplishes two things -
1. hides the scratch so you don't have to look at it.
2. protects the phone from future accidents.
good luck.
Ok, I guess I'll return the Body Glove tomorrow. I want that Gradient red/black case. Would you guys be as annoyed as I am with a small scratch on the phone? Even if its not visible with the case on?
Enjoy and use your things and realize that they will inevitably get banged up, dented, and scratched in regular daily use. This will not be the first or last time such things will happen. Your only other option would be to lock everything in a glass case at home. But then what good would it be to you? Ain't much in this world that's flawless. Lower your anxiety level and relax. Many times nobody notices such things but you. It will not matter to you tomorrow. In the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal. Shit happens. You leave marks as you go through life. It's only fair that life leaves marks on you. That is the cost of pleasure.
