If its total destruction your after then take off the back cover then clamp on the ground to an arc welder and then touch the rod in the earphone jack. Its really quite nice......maximum over clock lol.
But I'd probably watch a drownding to.

WTF?? Why would you even think about do that to the phone?

They dunked a GS3 into a fishbowl (fully submerged into water for at least a few seconds) along with other "torture tests" in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuq4eocS_GY

I never understood the whole making your device blend or destroying it unless it's an Office Space situation. As in it's caused you so much grief that you actually feel a sense of closure from beating the crap out of it.
Unless you totally destroyed everything on the phone, i bet some genius person could revive it.

Uploading video now. Microwave next?

Yeah, it fared really well in that video's drop test too, but I keep seeing threads in this forum about drops rendering screens useless, etc

My experience was quite the opposite--they're an absolute nightmare to install. I ended up trashing mine and went with the usual two peels one.

It was their standard screen protector that came on a murky looking paper.

I just installled the full body one and it just took me about 30 mins to installed and it looks great.

Yeah I tried to scratch it with my Keys and it didn't even leave a mark. Sometimes I put my keys and phone in the same pocket. That's how I scratched up my epic touch.

Am I the first to drop my nexus?

Damn what a night. So I went did a trade for this nexus with a guy. The nexus was sitting on the box on the trunk of my car while we were switching Sims next thing I see is it sliding off the box hits the ground and bounces. My heart dropped. About 5 dings on the bezel. The screen and back survived. So I got the Google play bumper and its good as new. Sucks Cuz I like the phone naked

No. Look at the glass threads. Tons of people dropped theirs and shattered glass before you.

Yes, you're the first person in the world to drop the nexus 4. Congrats!

No just the first top admit it. Other people say magic made theirs break.

I got my phone last night and I already dropped it today from about chest high while taking of my sweat shirt. No broken glass or anything from a hard wood floor. I think it really depends on how it lands. Oy really seems fairly durable to me.
If you average up all the thousands of sold I am sure the ones with broken glass are a very nonsignificant percentage..
sent via xda premium with nexus 7 while waiting for my shiny new Nexus 4!

Just broke my glass back -___- . I dropped into power switch made of aluminum and made several back cracks. Well, at least it wasn't the front.

ouch, i need protection! i still haven't taken off that original screen protector! i know if i drop mine the back glass is gonna crack

Cracked digitizer

So today I flipped open my case and my digitizer was cracked on my less than 2 week old N7. Won't let me unlock or anything. I have not dropped or otherwise damaged it. Has this happend to anyone else? Manufacturing defect? I also noticed last night that on black screens there were some red splotches. I'm just afraid if I try to get it replaced they will say physical damage have a nice day.

I believe it and no have not heard of this happening. If it was a drop, there would be a clear dent or shatter marking on that line before it splits into two. Just talk to google or where-ever you bought it from and try to keep calm. When glass breaks, it shatters and not produce hairline breaks like that.

get it replaced for free.

yup either that or a crack form pressure like sitting on it or having it in the back pocket and forgetting about it.
that's not a defect. it just doesn't crack on its own.

I couldn't find my tablet. Looked high an low. Sat down on the sofa and found it. My screen is worse than your picture but is the same result. No way to unlock the screen or anything. She is busted.

The tablet had slipped down the back of the sofa between the seat cushion and the back of the sofa. I sat down and it must have squished it. The cushions are super soft and I'm still not 100% sure it happened.

I bought a 32gb the same day and had it sent overnight. I learned an expensive lesson to be more careful. Flo isn't as tough as my SGSIII. These screens seem soft.

ahaha, nice!!

is Asus charging you to repair that device?

The nexus 7 has a very weak glass.
Mine got hairline crack from twisting.
Most drop test videos show it breaks on the first drop.
I have replaced first unit, waiting until local repair guy can get parts from his usual source to get first one fixed. May try contacting google/Asus about a repair but have not done that yet.

Why, their cases suck. On the defender the outside rubber stretches and fits terrible after a short time and it makes this phone massive and almost unable to carry, at least thats how the note 2 case was.

There's almost as many 1 star reviews for the Spigen as 5 star, sounds as though the cutouts are mis-aligned on some of them and there have also been 2-3 week shipping delays reported... so be careful with that one.
I ordered the Supcase on amazon and I like it. The original one they sent me was missing the cutout for the top noise canceling mic but they sent me a replacement which is good.

Check out uag cases they have it available already its cool looking and serves its purpose without the bulk I had it on my note 2

Just order the seidio surface for my phone it seems like a really sturdy case, they also have an active version not [email protected] moment but to me it seems like a slimmer more appealing version of the otter box defender Series, you should check then out.

Just so you know Otterbox only covers otterbox. if you drop your phone with the case on and the phone breaks, you're out a phone. They'll replace the case for free though!
I'll prolly get defender since commuter would make it a little awkward in my pocket. Plus I can get them for cheap

I received (finally) my Neo Hybrid yesterday. The fit is great and the look is nice. I like the case a lot. I also think that it could take a drop. That being said, the case is incredibly slick. So much so, that I'm not sure if I can feel comfortable using it. I would not recommend. Way tto slick.

I just ordered a case that says it's for the N9000 model. It should still fit the Verizon N9005 right they are exactly the same right? There's another case on eBay that looks exactly the same as the one I bought and it says it works with the N9005. Just curious.

I was an otterbox fan until I discovered seidio. Much better product and company. Went with a neo hybrid with this one and I love it. I agree that it is too slick though.

I liked otterbox for protection. But like was said the case stretches in short time and looks horrible. Ballistic makes just as good cases that are easier to take off and put on. And don't stretch. Gonna try a Trident (different company) case this time around myself since I think those will be available first.
