It's your fault!. My phone just slipped of my hand and flew about 2 metres!

At least now I know that the spigen neo hybrid was a good purchase :p

The day after I got it. It slipped out of my pants pocket. Cracked lower left corner and scraped the upper left.

Alas.

Now I have a case on it.

When I bought my nexus 7 bought the case right along with it.

Thrice in last one month, third was just this Monday, was searching for the phone, scrambling under the clothes on the table to find it, and bam, it was somewhere between them and flew on the concrete floor from almost 5 feet of height, i think my neo hybrid knockoff just saved the day as the drop was pretty scary.. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calmlikabomb:
pfff

Just broke mine yesterday morning... dropped on the floor made of stones front face... screen shattered! Phone still working.... but screen is falling appart, piece by piece... need to buy a new LCD + Digitizer...

Did anyone bought it? Which one?

I don't use a case and I've dropped it a couple of times. Granted not from high up but a decent 2 feet drop, I do use a skin though, only the back has popped off. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alissa7:
My Nexus has been dropped pretty much every day (my 1 year old daughter loves to play on it, then throw it when she's done). I've got a Spigen case and no screen protector, and so far, no scratches, dents or hardware issues. Granted, each fall is from only 3-5 feet, on hard wood floor or sometimes tile.

I love my Nexus too much to continue to risk it tho, so I bought her a $20 Android phone of her own!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerdann11:
Try a skin if you don't like case bulk, it will help from scratches and stuff like that and it will keep the ur nexus really thin. But it will not help with high drops. I love my skin :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sagar Khanapurkar:
So many are talking about slim armor case.. Doesn't that case makes the phone tooo bulky ??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rieconley:
The first time I dropped mine the back came off a bit and freaked me out before I just snapped it back on. I've dropped probably about 6 or 7 times without a case hasn't done any lasting damage to it. I have a Quicksand cover on it and adore my cover.

Dropped mine where it really scared me maybe twice once it was in my lap while driving forgot about it and it fell as I opened the door on pavement face down no scratches or damage thank God for greatshield case that I got on it only the case has minor damage
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crayonhead:
Mine was second hand, but I asked the guy who sold it to me.

"second day, fell off my desk onto the concrete floor."

Since I've gotten it, I've dropped it three or four times, but I have a huge case on it (Ballistics SG case), so the damage was minimal.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorCX:
I have the case. And yes it spoils the nice look that the phone has when naked.

So far, three times.

I keep placing it on-top of my closed laptop, forgetting it's there and opening the lid. It does the oddest flips in the air, very acrobatic for a phone. Thankfully, no damage that I can tell yet, so that's good.

I'm using Best Skin Ever on the screen with the Ringke Fusion bumper.

Atleast once a day... At this point I've dropped it only about every surface imaginable beyond into open water from heights of 1 to 4ft, generally from 30inches (desk) or a bit lower (sitting on my leg when operating equipment with no desk/pockets. I'm a klutz with my phone for some reason. Still it works flawlessly and has no signs of damage. I use a Ringke Fusion and a tempered glass protector, I think it was Armor Tech from Amazon. There are some light scuffs on the polycarb back of the Fusion, but nothing you notice when I have a design in the back and you aren't playing with the angles under a light. I've always used cases and screen protectors simply due to my job putting it at risk of taking some hits and abrasion every day (process/manufacturing engineer). Also, I don't like the round back so having a case to square it up feels better in my hand.

On a trip, getting out the cab from the airport to the hotel, it somersaulted through the air and onto a metal grating, dented the phone's metal bracket and cracked the screen:mad: At least it didn't fall down the grate, but had to take vacation photos on a backup Lumia 630, not exactly a good camera phone. Back home now, going to see how much this is going to cost.

I had it in my pocket while riding my bmx bike, pulled a wheelie without thinking about the smallish pockets in my shorts. Kept going for a half block until I noticed it was missing. It was on the ground face down and scared the crap out of me. Phone was perfect, corners of my ringke fusion were a bit battered
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChimneyBoy:
Dropped it on the pavement a couple of times while it was naked. The top left corner is pretty damaged and the screen lifted a bit which is noticeable due to light bleed. It fell from the couch to the floor while i was napping and cracked the screen on the bottom right to about halfway up the middle of the screen. I got the screen replaced and now carry the phone in bubble wrap :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
I've had mine since early November. Dropped it twice. Both on concrete. No cases or screen protectors.

First one it fell of my lap while getting out of my car.

Second time I accidentally threw it when I lost my grip while running.

So far no cracked screen or chips in the plastic. Only minor scratches on the screen from general use. It actually looks almost new

I'm really impressed at how well it has held up.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopSpiiiiiin:
Yay, first post!

Thankfully I only dropped it twice since I have it (got it mid November).

The first drop happened in school when I was sitting at my desk and I dropped it from knee height, nothing to be concerned about because it was only like 50cm and it had the Spigen Slim Armor case on. The second drop was in a parking garage when my mom clapped my on my shoulder and it flew out of my hands because I wasn't holding it properly, though thanks to my quick reactions, that rarely work, I was able to catch it from mid-air before it came even close the concrete floor.

many times!

I work construction/engineeringI've dropped it from my hand and pocket probably 30 or 40 times. Few times I dropped it five feet from where It sat on top of a water heater. When it hit the ground the phone rolled to 6 ft away. On concrete. I use a acasse supperleggera phone case. It is a very nice looking case and strong.

I have dropped it twice.

Now in my opinion I find the phone to be almost impossible to drop. It is very nice in the hand not slippery like some say.

Hence, I use my N5 nude (no case). Oh those 2 drops not even a mark. The first time it landed on hardwood floor, dropped 3 feet. The second time, it fell on carpet from from 5 feet, I intentionally dropped it that time. XD

then sold replacement for white, dropped from moving car, dropped from desk or drawing table heights on tiles or hardwood many many times while charging (cats) i'd say over 20 times 1 time real hard from a 12 foot mezzanine unprotected on stone floor! Really believed it was toasted but turned out I only had to change bezel and screen (the whole chassi)

Since then then I used a variety of cases ranging from real Google thick as **** TPU real and fake spigen's to big decorated chinese foamy goofy cases but alway came back to cheap TPU skins with high edges around the screen and tempered glass protector.

Got a red one 2 months ago dropped while talking once and flew down a set of cement stairs no damage but broke my tempered screen protector.

I remember the first time I dropped my N5. About 2 feet off of tile, it shattered horribly. I got a new one, and I couldn't even tell you how many times I've dropped it. Garage floor, tile, asphalt, anything. This one doesn't shatter. (Hopefully I didn't just jinx that.)

I didn't have a case on when it fell the first time, or any of the other times I dropped my second N5. Today, I came across my Spigen SlimArmor case and decided to put it on.

my beautiful virgin white nexus 5 slid out of my pocket in a high curve and landed straight on the white back. contact with the asphalt = what a dull sound :D

now it looks even sexier, with this beautiful scars on this sexy back. The metal ring (is it aluminium?) around camera glass lost some if his black color, and the glass (this isnt saphirglass?) got some excoriations.

i have luck, camera field of view isnt affected, all fine.

Many without a case.

I've dropped it a few feet several times on my wood porch sitting down/falling out of the pocket usually fine every time. Dropped it once on the kitchen floor (but it was more like a angle fall so it slid, not straight down). Got a super baby size scuff on the top left, otherwise phone is unaffected.

I'm happy with the quality of it, nowadays I have the neo hybrid on it to protect it but also because I find the phone easier to use w/ a case. (When my thumb reaches all the way across the screen I frequently always hit the bottom of the screen with the base of my thumb). With the case, not a problem for me.
