I knew it would happen one day, it flew right out of my hand and bounced across the floor. The back cover fell off , the s pen and battery went flying but.....

Not a scratch!! All ok :)

Has anyone else dropped it yet? It's such a worry with a
 
I have dropped mine twice with no damage.

I guss ruggedness is all it has goihg for it. I am not an Apple person, but in all seriousness, at least their phones do not crash no much.

Not dropped mine yet, but my phone is completely stable. I have only had to reboot it once this week to restore data connectivity, other than that it was rock solid with heavy use (doing things an iPhone cannot do). I am completely happy.

I could imagine that various combinations of apps could cause stability issues (since I get the feeling that apps are not tested as well as before entering the Apple app store) but this is a function of Android and not the Note.

I've dropped mine 3 times. 2 times while throwing my jacket over my shoulder it flew out and landed from about 6 feet in the air onto tiles floor.

Every time it landed on the side, and the back cover popped off almost all the way.

I have 3 cracks now on the inside of the lcd, and one scratch on the outside glass but, everything still works fine.

So, overall i am pretty impressed that it hasn't died on me.

I have to admit I don't care if it dies. I've used it for about 4 months now and I'll go back to my other phone as soon as it does. I am just not a fan of Android. but that's another topic.

anyways the back cover design of the Note is great. I wrote a review somewhere about how the flex of the back cover, with the cheap plastic sides actually is a plus as it keeps the stress of impact off of the front glass.
 
I've dropped mine a couple of times now but I also have a pretty substantial case on it...

yeah, if you thought the Note was big before, this makes it REALLY big! Now it has rubber bumpers at the corners and really doesn't like being slipped into a shirt pocket --but it eventually gives in with some persuasion... As troublesome as this case makes the phone, I feel it is worth it to protect my investment! I am on a ladder about half of the work day so it's almost a necessity for me!

I agree. Once my phone bites the dust I will not buy another android phone. Mine performs poorly. Most of my freinds say the same thing.
 
Perpetualjon,
Nice looking case. I have the Otterbox, but this looks way cooler. Who makes this case? Does it have a belt clip?
