Oh really? then we should start making cars completely of plastic if thats the case.
Before the SGS4 was announced they explained why they used plastic which should have been a clue that the SGS4 was going to be similar to all their previous devices. Don't like plastic? There are plenty of glass and metal options available. Since the SGS4 will be around for at least another 15 months *****ing that it's plastic is pretty futile. And everyone considering a SGS4 can either choose to deal with it or not. Rather than complaining, vote with your wallet and buy something else.

I just don't really feel like dropping a piece of plastic and having the thing shatter into million of pieces. A little unrealistic I know, but really? I don't care if they thing plastic does the best job, it obviously doesn't. It scratches, it's breakable. Sure HTC didn't do the best job of it either, but at least they used something that feels good/amazing in the palm of your hand.

I think they didn't want to update the look so people can familiarize with the brand better. People are beginning to recognize the Galaxy s3, and it will be easier for people to know the phone if it keeps a similar design. Sure, it could've looked a little more premium for once, but it's the software that's the most important, and they did a decent job with improvements and gimmicks that actually seem to work.

Not if it comes at the expense of microSD and battery *cough HTC*cough*.
I reaaaaaaaaaaally dont get all the plastic hate, most people place their phones in cases anyway, especially if they are made out of leet materials like glass or the fancy-peeling One S aluminium, which is even more stupid.
My GS3 survived w/o a case for almost a year now btw, and because those "cheap plastic" back covers are so uhh.. cheap, I can replace them anytime for minimal cost, I actually have 4 custom back covers just for variety.
Oh and I should have added "Power Button on the side" to OP as another pun at HTC but w/e.
Who here doesn't use a protection case on their phone? Plastic is perfect. What most people forget is plastic is perfect for a phone with removable battery.

1. It's a scratch resistant, not drop proof.
2. Laws of physics. The center of gravity is focused on the front for these phones since they're so light and thin. Yes it's more likely to fall on it's front like a bowling ball on a stick thrown up.
3. Counter balance this with a case in the back.
4. Sucks to be you.

While these guys are being harsh, there is some truth.
gorilla glass is meant to be excellent against scratches, not breaking. That it cracked is not one of its features.
It sucks, but hopefully you can find a place to repair it. Would be interesting to know what a new screen would cost.

Look on eBay then
If you want something that is fall resistant buy a Nokia Lumia when having one of those things you should worry about your feet that your phone. Of course Samsung S3 is a delicate creature that has to be tendered with great care. There many fall resistant cases but to be honest the best protection is safety. I don't see how anyone would like to have a bulk that is twice the normal phone. A normal barely there casemate and a screen protector would do well for everyday usage. Thought there was another from case mate again that included a hell lot of protection. It had two parts, one rubber and the other a normal tough case but really that made the phone look like a satellite phone.
Alright sorry I thought it was break proof according to the video it looked like it. Also, it's not a big deal I still have 14 days to get warranty it was my fault and I can admit it, no need to be so rude about how it's my fault.
As for videos, I don't read much into them because those are mostly staged and does not reflect what really happens.
I remember watching a Gorilla Glass 2 video on youtube showing no scratches on one of the new Sony phones; I just laughed because they person was scratching with razor blades and hitting with a hammer; showing no damage. The only problem with that is the camera does not pick up the micro scratches which one can see with the eye (which the user shows it with no scratches in the video). Eventually the video poster did crack the glass after repeatedly hitting with a hammer.
There was also another video of the same phone being dropped in a big puddle of water and also it being ran over with a jeep...! Perfectly intact ha ha!

I have recieved my Bumper, but not the phone itself, because it was sold out, I wanted to get the case just to get THAT much closer to the N4.
It's made of some high quality metal, i'm guessing Aluminium. It's pretty light, at only 20g, it should be able to resist most drops and scratches, but the shock might travel through the metal to the phone, so I don't know. We'll have to wait for a few drop tests on YouTube, cause there's not way I'm putting my N4 on the line.

It shouldn't. If I remember my physics correctly, a magnetic field between the two coils should only occur inside, leaving no current to be induced anywhere else. Including a metallic bumper.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Ture, but while you are trying to position the phone on the mat, a current might be induced in the bumper if it is made of metal.
It can't be all metal because you won't be able to put it on, all metal bumpers consist of two parts and screw to each other.
Pictures plz
I think its rubber in the inside with a metal(ish) ring around the outside. I don't have mine yet but from googles pics that is what it looks like.

Exactly what happens when you drop glass? It breaks.
Glass backs means if you drop your phone you not only have to pay for a new screen but a new back as well.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I dropped my S3 today from 1m on a hard floor - no damage at all. I wonder what the glass would look like if it had any
Actually, the iPhone 4 (with glass back) always fared pretty well against many other phones, in the dreaded drop-test, so it's not as clear cut as that.
Funny though, that the iPhone went from a metal back in the first one, to a plastic back in the 3G, then glass in the 4, now metal in the 5, do we think back to glass again for the next one? :cyclops:
Samsung is always about utility over form. That's why we have shock absorbant plastic battery doors that everyone complains about. They also manufacture the phone to lessen the shock of a fall. Using glass would go against their phone design philosophy. They work to reduce user accidents not create them. Such a contrast with LG or Apple.

couldn't agree more, I think the back on the s3 is design genius, and another thing.....I would love to put a glass back and the s3 back cover on the scales and compare weight.......I really don't get when people say ..."oh the xxxxx feels so much more substantial"........ NO IT DOESN'T, IT FEELS HEAVY!
If the S IV has a physical home button and slippery back I will sit this round out. I would expect the screen to go to the bottom of the phone (have the screen occupy the space used by capacitive buttons) and use onscreen buttons instead. I don't really think the back needs to be glass, but there needs to be some sort of coating to make the phone not slip out of your hand.
I mean seriously a plastic back cover is stopping some people from buying the phone? You know what you can do is buy a metal replacement back cover or what ever one you want and just take the existing one off and put the new one on in 5 seconds.
I don't understand the complaining here, if you don't like that glossy back... buy one you do like!

You can probably even replace the back cover with an aluminium one, so no need for a case.

Don't forget battery life & processor
What I hate about a metal or glass phone is you have to be careful with it and suddenly the phone becomes horrible to use because you're always scared of scratching. So you get a case and it makes the phone twice as big and way uglier than the GS4 is by default.
With the plastic back cover, it covers the whole rear of the phone that it sits on, so it does it's job properly. Unlike the GS2 which has that big bump at the bottom which is the bit that gets scratches and you cannot replace easily. So you can scratch the **** out of the back of the GS4 and it doesn't matter cause you just buy a new one for a fiver off ebay. The other thing I love is I bent my GS2 back cover in half and it just sprung back and was fine, I'm guessing the GS4 is the same material.
Almost every smartphone owner I know has a case on their phone. Metal body of phones never see the light of the day.

Seriously though, I'm sure there will be better non metal back covers. One disadvantage of metal back covers is the loss of signal and NFC.

It's not most people it's just loud people, most people don't see a phone as symbol of their status and thus just want their phone made of an efficient material, you can get a Ho in the UK for around £26 pm roughly £2.50 a week more than you can get a Samsung Ace on contract, where's the perceived status in a phone an unemployed person could easily afford.

I don't know but I'm pretty weary . and also relieved I got a screen protector on mine. After less than one day of being extremely careful I noticed 2 very very minor light scratches. I wouldn't have noticed them but when I was cleaning the screen with the microfiber they give you with the Spigen screen protectors I noticed them... like I said very small but they were scratches nonetheless. I had a optimus g pro that seemed to scrape up way easier than my note2 and previous devices.. or I may have just been really unlucky. If these have gorilla glass then I guess its exactly the same and it's my fault.. or if there's something different they may be weaker.

You can ask http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/ how come they produce something that is not useful or needed and yet manage to sell it and survive on market?
If it doesn't matter why does it exist. Well you can call it delusion, but to me and millions of consumers it makes a difference
it exists so regular and less and less stuff can scratch it and to make it stronger. its pretty good at that. Your logicis flawed into thinking I said it was useless. Its not...
However a grain of sand can have a much higher hardness and thus scratch it.
No need pretending its invincible if it is not. Which is why I suggest get a screenprotector anyway

I totally agree. It's like having a vasectomy and thinking the Dr's expert opinion will protect you 100%.
I've owned all versions of gorilla glass(have several teen agers) and they all all scratch easily. Unless you never expose your phone to the inside of your pocket or the real world, you need a screen protector. IMO
My Gnex was case less, screen protector less and I carried it around in my pocket in West Texas for 2 years. West Texas blows hard silicone sand- and other bad stuff all the time. Its one of the worst weather places in the world! I also let my 3 year old son play with it and watch Thomas the train when he would get bored at Dr. office etc. I have a huge 'janitor would be proud' set of keys that I kept in my pocket with my phone. Ive drop kicked it 2 times on accident getting out of a deer stand...

Needless I'll post some pictures of it with no noticeable scratches and only fine scratches that would annoy MONK and OCD people, but not a sane normal person. Maybe I'm lucky- but I also had an HTC incredible who fared the same over the same amount of time.
Point? IDK- maybe the curved screen made it less scratch prone? I did notice 2 small very fine scratches that were on my G2 when I placed the screen protector on it. I am currently rocking the Folio case- but I've got 2 coming in the mail, to try out a TPU and a knock off otterbox. I think that in my experience the glass on my phones have been pretty tough, and I didn't notice or care about the little scratches I would get. I have a feeling a lot of people need to get some fluvoxamine and chill...
lol thats like free facial scrubs daily nice
4th day of my g2 and i havent installed covers or screen protector.. still scratchless..
Edit: i saw a 1 hairline scratch today...
Im getting a screen protector tommorrow...
