I dropped it...

Have had a case since Day 1, but just took it off when I realized it was almost impossible to take off due to Zagg shields on both front and back, I decided it had to go--I had to wreck it to get it off, anyway. Got a scratch on the phone near the connector for my troubles, too! At least it's not really visible. Love going naked, but I"m nervous...

The thing is: when we have a case on, are we more likely to drop it?! I think so, but I'll soon find out for sure. At lease the Zaggs are there for scratches.

Similarly, I accidentally pulled on mine while it was connected to my laptop. It flew into the wall. My screen protector took the blow and cracked, but I overnighted a cheap case from ebay right after that

LOL... my kind of fail. I was going back upstairs in our somewhat steep staircase the other day, and I lost feet. My phone flew from my hand, smashed on the wall beside me. There's a kind of flat edge there than runs along the stairs, until about two stairs from the bottom, at about a feet high. My phone slided on it all the way downstairs on its screen, then flew about two feets before hitting the tile floor on a corner. I was like, WTF! There's carpet on the stairs, in 99.9% of similar accidents it would have landed on it and stopped there.

40$ for a case and screen was the best investment I made on day one... No scratch or dent whatsoever.

Sorry for you man!
