SGS2 durability and hard plastic case

[kayne5]

Hey. I would like to hear your stories about phone's durability against falling from around 1 meter, let's say out of pocket or from table...

I dropped my handset 3 times already on the flat wood surface floor and seems like it fully survived those falls.

How do you guys think, what impact had my plastic case in preventing my galaxy from being damaged ?

I have something like... http://i00.i.aliimg.com/photo/50323..._Crystal_Hard_Plastic_Case_40610604_.summ.jpg

below is a short two-minute video of what happens to a Galaxy s2 and an iphone 4s when dropped from various heights onto a concrete sidewalk. I have dropped my phone onto a table screen side down and it survived without any damage whatsoever. Also, I took off my case, let iphone users hide their phones.

I have the original samsung clip on extra back cover. It is slightly rubberized and vented.
It gives a better grip on the phone so there is less change of slipping and dropping it. If you do drop it, it gives a bit of added protection.

I also had the Samsung back case but for a change I got a very cheap (99p) case off of ebay which is like a black rubbery one. My friend passed to phone back to me (under arm throw from about 5 feet away) and I missed it and it hit wooden floor and survived without a mark. I was very impressed.
