You made sound like you did it on purpose o.o. jk jk Oh well, we hope you phone gets a speedy replacement :)

Kinda close. I've been wanting a new not so dinged and scratched one and I was finally lucky enough to have it break on the, (not kidding) 75th+ Drop face-down on concrete.
I had been amazed by how much damage this phone seems to take, and used it as a square card reader at a busy farmers market in DC. This phone dropped on concrete, asphalt, brick, and cobblestone; more times than I could even keep track of in 4 months.
I used a case at first, but when i realized that the only real damage i had to worry about for heavy and abusive labor and retail, were the scratches on the screen, I quickly took the case off and let it free from its bulky housing.
Just a testement to all the people who own this phone; it has amazed me in its build and integrity; even considering the screen runs all the way to the edge with no raised bevel in the housing. This phone takes A LOT of abuse, and just keeps going; it took quite a bit to break it.

One tough trooper you had there. I like to takcanhe case off of it to see its true beautiful of a phone. I do worry alot about breaking it only because it's very slick. But at least when I drop it a few times, it won't leave a big giant dent don't the phone like on my evo v 4g. (Which I only kept for 6 months). Hopefully there will eventually be great ROMS and a complete MMS fix for this phone. So I can keep this phone for a while. (I don't keep phones very long)
