Help DOES DROPPING OR THROWING ANY PHONE ON BED AFFECT MY PHONE?

Welcome to our AndroidForums, @AiGamer

I would think any verb matching "drop" or "throw" with regard to a smart phone or tablet should be avoided at all costs
.
I'm sure the manufacturers do drop tests that involve hard surfaces that would be way more damaging than a (hopefully soft) bed would be.
So: "probably not" would be the answer, but why take the chance?
Cheers!

It does, even in a case. My HTC 10 has had a case on it since I got the pre-order. Hairline scratch around the upper right corner from doing the bed thing in a case. Still though, the stuff I see the young folks doing with cracked screens these days make me think I may be overreacting.
Function wise? No problem, but scratches. EEW!
Geez I hope not! Every night walking into my dark room I toss my device on the bed before I turn the light on 
So far no issues.
Once in a great while, it bounces off the bed onto the carpeted floor and I semi-cringe, but being as most beds are soft, I would think there shouldn't be an issue.

No carpet here. I think you may have hit the nail on the head.
Seriously; Can you spell target?
Otter Box doesn't have a case for the HTC 10. So,
Well the otterbox would be nice if they made one for the HTC 10. Looks stealthy to me.
Not really that pricey, either.

So a drop from 10 inch on a prettysoft bed does not affect it right?Geez I hope not! Every night walking into my dark room I toss my device on the bed before I turn the light on

Are you trying to win a bet with someone?
I don't think anyone can say definitively one way or the other. Too many variables.

No, it certainly should not.
If it does, it was prone / meant to fail early anyway...(i.e., very cheap build...)
Only if it's a water bed... with a hole in it.
Well in one post (s)he described the bed as "pretty soft", so I think we can safely dismiss the first two.

It is a good thing to get glass protectors on phones.... Keep it a lot more safe indeed!!

If you were to hit a zipper or anything else than soft it very well could hurt your phone. I put glass protectors on mine, plus a protector for my phone, that way it has extra protection.... I would not make it a happen to throw the phone though,it could bounce off and damage the phone....
I don't think it was the drop on the bed that scratched it, it was the drop from the bed to the wooden floor. I've got a semi-firm mattress. It was firm when I bought it but it's been quite a few years since I got a new mattress.
