Abuse at 40

[mslpp]

Well, it's hard not to love my 8220 today. Last week I set it on the roof of the car (in search ofbetter reception) and promptly forgot about it. At 40 km I hear a dionk off the back window and then the trunk and then see my flip seemingly explode into pieces as it smacked into pavement. When I got back to it I realized that all the pieces were, were my 2 piece case, the battery and battery door. I put the battery back in and it has run flawlessly since!

That's what I call reliable!

The problem is you forgot to duct tape it to the roof! :-P

Speaking of tape, if you want to replace your road-rashed flip cover, buy the acrylic cover, 5mm 2-sided tape, and a case separation tool from cnn.cn. The acrylic cover is simply taped to the flip lid with 2-sided tape, and can be carefully pried off with the case tool.

Edit: cnn.cn technically calls it an "outer lens".
