Droid Does ..........................Fly, bounce, skid, slide, then dodge

so in the middle of hooking up a trailer today i received a phone call. answered it quickly then threw it on the toneau cover of my truck and kept hitchin it up. When i leaned over to get my tin out of my back pocket and didnt feel the tight brick in my pants i quickly did a vehicle search and it hit me driving down the road, i look back and see a toneau cover .... with no droid. i flipped around and drove back towards home and sure enough about 4 miles back in the middle of a 4 lane highway was my droid laying faceup, slider open, crying. I jumped out and grabbed it before another car got the priveledge of completely destroying it. found my battery about 50 feet past the phone. never did find the battery cover! But with crossed fingers i popped my battery in and she fired right up. been using it all day without a hitch. It has some serious battle scars, but the screen, camera, and slider all work as if nothing ever happened!
Droid does ... i'm a believer
 
yeah my first moto razr was a tank. dropped out my dakota cant count how many times. still worked w/o a problem. I love moto phones.
 
Photographic proof of the batt cover I will send you

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!

It's not fly, bounce, skid, slide, then dodge...

It's dodge, duck dip, dive, and dodge!!

Can somebody get this man a battery cover? He's been through a traumatic experience.

lol no kidding!
 
That's a great story! This phone is pretty durable.

Can we get some pics of the Droid that survived this endeavor? :)
 
your the man CRPercodani for throwing him a spare cover.

this story is great. you should take a nice picture of it on a white background and photoshop an ad of Droid Does on it.
 
lol yea ill get some pics with my gf's phone and get em posted up ... ill see if i can take it with a white background and someone else can photoshop the droid does in it
 
Ya know I think this is a great testament to the Droid. From day 1 I've loved the feel of this phone. It just feels substantial and gives the impression that it is a tank and just aint gonna give up without a fight. I've dropped mine once and pieces went everywhere and she didn't skip a beat. (Although not nearly as dramatic as this guys was) Loving the Droid
 
'It's too heavy'.. 'it's brick like'... 'it's clunky'.. YES and it survives! :D Great story, I would wager that not one other forum here has a comparable tale!
