I am so mad at myself! I've had my phone for two weeks now and I love it! It seemed to be very tough, as I've dropped it a couple times (nothing major, just on the carpet but it hit the wall or the metal on the bed on the way down) without showing a single mark. Last night we were out doing fireworks and I had a Roman candle in one hand (not lit) and my phone in the other. It was just one of those things where I lost my grip on it, and my phone went tumbling down onto the cement. Of course it couldn't have landed on its back... That would have made things much too easy for me. Instead, it landed on its face. Miraculously enough, the screen still looks perfect. No chips or scratches. But the outer casing is all messed up. All along the top there are scratches and scuffs, there are a couple minor scuffs on the sides, but the bottom is the worst. On the lower left corner the casing is bent inward, which pulled the surrounding areas away from the body of the phone and now there are small gaps. There is also a very good sized chip on the screen directly next to that. It doesn't affect the viewing part of the screen at all or the menu buttons at the bottom because it's so low. But it looks like crap. My pretty little phone is all beat up. 
I don't know how it got that messed up. I'm pretty short, so it didn't have that far to fall! It looks more like someone actually threw it onto the cement really hard.
I can't bring myself to do an insurance claim right now since I've only had it for two weeks, money is a little tight right now, and it's still working just fine. So I'm thinking I'm going to just buy a case for it (if I had just done that in the first place, this would never have happened!) to try and cover the marks. I found one online called Trident Aegis that looks kinda cute and seems to be very durable. I'm not familiar with this line but it looks like it's a two part case. The first is a silicone cover you put on and the second is the polycarbonate shell. My only concern with it is that it will make the phone too big and bulky. I don't want that since this is such a nice little lightweight phone. Coming from a Thunderbolt, I don't think I'll ever go back to a brick-like phone again. Does anyone have any experience with these cases? It looks like it will cover all the areas that I need covered. Trident Aegis Case for HTC DROID Incredible 2, Pink AG-INC-S-PK - HTC DROID Incredible 2 Protector Cases If I don't get that one I'll probably just go with a regular silicone gel skin. It may not cover everything but I just hate those plastic snap-on cases.
