Dropping droid

no case will ensure screen protection, all will HELP though.. some are just better than others. there have been plenty of people that have dropped their droid with a case and broke the screen, and more who have managed to scratch the screen..

 

to me, a hard case is not an impact protector since any shock will transfer DIRECTLY to the phone. i would opt for the silicone/rubber ones if you are worried about dropping. Oakley makes a rubber one for the iPhone that practically makes it a tank - would be nice to see one for Droid, but i suppose the QWERTY would put a limit on that possibility.

 

Resilient to scratches-yes, impervious to drops-no. I dunno but it seems like the droids screen is a little bit more susceptible to screen cracking for some reason maybe it has something to do with the design.

Im in the same boat with the hardcase situation. I was looking at seidio but decided not to buy a hard case as I have a dock and I didn't think it'd protect against shock from falls too much, which is what I'm most concerned about. I'm trying to find a good durable pouch that could protect it from falls though. Unfortunately I haven't found any .

 

yeah, mine lives naked, always has. not a scratch on the screen, though i haven't dropped it yet. /knocks on wood

 

had my first heart-stopping droid drop yesterday at target but it survived... using a body glove case

 

I have the Verizon silicone case for now as I thought it would give a little bit of shock protection. The case is texturized so it does feel a bit more secure in hand.

I didn't want to spend much as I am not sure what I will do for a case in the long run. Thinking that the dock looks pretty sweet and it won't work with a case. But for now I want the drop protection while I get used to the phone.

 

Droped mine about 3 feet on vinyl covered concrete...almost had a heartattack....but no damage....naked too....

 

My Droid was dropped once -- cat knocked it off the desk onto the hardwood floor. No damage. I don't own a case or a protector of any kind... I carry the phone in my pocket when I go somewhere -- the only precaution I take is keeping my keys in the other pocket, just in case they might be able to scratch the screen. But other than that, I've taken no special care of my Droid, and it still looks brand-new.

 

I dropped mine 1st day and many times since. The battery cover goes one way, battery the other & dead Droid somewhere else.
Put it all back together & continue.
It has survived me so far.

At least I can insure the Droid (just in case)
