- I want lots of monies too!!!!! Pick up the phone with your hands and not with the nails.

Then one day I was walking along, pulled out my phone and for whatever reason it decided to slip out of my hand like butter. It bounced off of a couple of concrete paving slabs and scuffed the hell out of the otherwise perfect finish.
After two years of keeping it looking like a new phone it was all gone in a split second. Since then I've always bought a case for my phones. Something as expensive (I consider it expensive) and as good looking as a Blackberry Classic... I'd be mortified if I dinged it off a curb or scratched the rear camera lens. Cases all the way!andy957 likes this.05-14-15 04:10 PMLike 1 - Phone drops suck. I will at some point drop this device. Posting always leaves an opening for a reply. I am happy with the phone, quality of materials and assembly.
Every time a case question or post comes up, I read this and smile:
So yesterday I made a comment about how the hot woman at the office doesn�t use a case for her phone and how that turned me on because I do the same thing. Well much to my surprise people actually thought that was crazy. And I�m not going to lie, I expected far more out of people. I expect some women and old people to do this but men from 18-81 should never under any circumstance use a case on their phone.
You think Steve Jobs made the iPhone for someone to put a case on it? Well yeah because it's a piece of ****, but that�s not the point right now. You think I want to cover up that cool chrome/metallic look? You think I want to hide the reflective apple? Well yeah because it's a piece of ****, but that�s not the point right now.
You think I want everyone to think I own a Nokia or a Samsung like some gross sales person? **** no. I need to feel my phone. Skin on metal. When I drop my phone I want it to hurt, hurt bad. That split second when your phone slips out of your hand and you know there is nothing you can do about it?
That�s the most exhilarating moment in my life. It's like putting a bet down on the roulette wheel waiting for the ball to drop, dropping your limit on pull tabs, twice. Pure, unadulterated,* Adrenaline. Why would I give that up? If you had a choice to use a condom or not would you wrap up? What about if someone offered you a fork to eat a slice of pizza? Would you take it? **** no.
Putting a case on your phone is subtraction by addition. *If you're worried about breaking your phone then you can't afford to own it. Putting a case on your phone just announces to the world that you're living outside your means.
And I know people are going to say this is me being a hardo. That it's the same line of thinking as not using a*shopping cart, or being awesome at spreadsheets, but it's not. This is about being aa adult and taking care of your possessions. About having consequences when you **** up. You think it's a coincidence that every single girl on planet earth uses a cell phone case? Its chick mentality. Whoops my phone slipped. Oh my god I dropped my phone, how silly! I left my phone in a cab for the 2,382th time last night LOL.* O.M.G. I dropped my phone in a glass of wine! **** that. My phone and I have an intimate relationship. You know that kid in college who was clearly fed everything on a silver spoon growing up? Scared of minorities. No life experience. Never changed a flat tire. Soft baby hands. That�s what a phone that�s been in a case is like. Just a soft *****. The world is a ****ty place. Life sucks. Why have your phone think any different?
So go ahead and put a case on your phone, just know some folks are judging you as a person. You�re weak and irresponsible. And that�s not just me talking, that�s the whole world.

So at the end of the day, it's not a build quality issue so much as a utility issue. This isn't something that was overlooked. You weren't using a case (I don't either, and I understand the risk involved in that), and you dropped it on the plastic chin at the bottom. You shouldn't be surprised that there is some cosmetic damage.

FYI? I have ovaries and a ****** and carry two phones...neither with cases. And that includes an iPhone 6+. Do I own cases? Sure. Do I use them? No.
If you seriously judge people by what cellphone they use and if it has a case, it says more about the kind of person you are than what kind of person they are. Hint. It says nothing good.eji930 likes this.05-15-15 07:13 AMLike 1 - I have dropped my bold pearl 8130 down the stairs of the subway (when I was with a CDMA carrier), it did not have a case. ******* is rugged. Then my BlackBerry bold 9700 screen down (fell off a fence, my stupidity), replaced the screen, always used a case and holster since that happened.
BlackBerry Bold 9900 (lent to a friend) has a case too. My Q10 has a $3 case from ebay, and it fits snug in a BlackBerry bold Era holster. The classic however, i'll be waiting a mere 20 days for the case to arrive. Haven't gotten a holster for it yet, but it fits in the same holster my Q10 does, but it's 1 inch over the sides and backing.
I rarely drop my devices, I hate it when it happens. But I wouldn't replace it if it did get a scratch. Also, screen protectors are your life saver!
