Top tip: Don't drop expensive phones! - Off-topic

I originally posted these over at WMPowerUser (and they have now seemingly become popular images) so I thought why not get the word out a little more?
Basically, I dropped my HTC HD2. Big mistake. Now, I have to get it all repaired!

Don't drop your phone, it's rather fragile (even if it can take a knifing).

Bummer, do you have a case for it's protection?

I have the one it came with, which isn't much use if you actually want to use the device!

I'll be getting this Aluminum Metal Case for HD2 when it come to the States w/3G:

Yeah, ouch. My friend dropped her G1 on it's back, and it cracked the screen.

Man, I'm sorry about that. TBH I cringed a little when I first saw this on WMPoweruser.com. This seems to be a problem with all glass-screened phones, as about three friends of mine (all with iPhones) have had them replaced at least once due to shattered screens. Well, I wish you the best of luck in getting it fixed

Ahhhh i'm on the safe side... I have a HTC Universal and even if it drop down nothing happens to the screen... big advantage of having calmshell design.....

No no no...you have it all wrong!!!!

Sorry about your HD2, hope you can get it fixed

HTC Two Toned Hard Shell Case

I did a search, and didn't find anything about this. Does anybody have the two toned hard shell case from HTC, as seen here: http://wsf1-shopamerica.htc.com/accessories.htm?prId=36999? If so, do you have any pictures? Any color is fine. Thanks!
I haven't seen that before it looks pretty cool im wondering the same thing!

Yes, the Amazon ones are the same HTC offers. I was hoping that it wouldn't be the case based on the photo on HTC's website showing that the bottom is connected, but I was wrong.
I am sending it back and getting a refund. The case does not stay together very well at all and the gap on the bottom makes it worse. It could've been a lot better if it came together at the bottom as well. Don't bother with this one guys.

Here are the pics as promised though. You can see how on the bottom (on the back) it barely stays together.

I want to know if you could remove it and let the phone like new or if it have some waste.. Also tell me the quality of it, because I live like 10.000 kms from the US and I want to buy one

good quality build, pretty sturdy ive dropped it several times but it hasn't scratched or anything, yea you can take it off and the phone looks good, i bought a different one since they just added about 40 more skins -.- and there was no residue left on the back, i only put the back on since i have a screen protect on.
Pretty easy to apply you can easily pick it off if you mess up
will post a picture right now....
ok, thanks.. I think next year Im travelling to the US so maybe I can buy it there brcause its difficult to send here.. Waiting for picture..

Anyone tried the mesh hard case?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-MES...sesPouches&hash=item3f0cc4473b#ht_2287wt_1140
looks cool
you can get those cases for extremely extremely cheap on ebay. Even cheaper than that link, and I'm sure the quality won't be that much of a difference. I considered briefly getting it, but the lack of protection on the top and the bottom metal parts of the phone was the deal-breaker. Those parts I dent the most after all.
It looks good on the phone... but you have to remove it occasionally to wipe of the dust on the phone. The phone gets quite dusty because of the holes.

you can say it is thanks to the popularity of this forum and probably Wind Mobile
the XT720 was pretty much unknown before these 2 came together
that just shows you the power of XDA forum
I have yet to see anyone with a XT720 when I commute every day xD. Oh well, makes me feel that my phone is more unique.
This phone has become like a rare gem among bland and boring iphones everywhere. It IS the only phone out there with this shape after all, along with the XT701, XT711.
and the stainless steal matt finish.

anyone else getting triggered?

anyone else getting triggered when you go look for any reviews or anything, they're titled for the s10 but it's actually the s10+?
Nope ...
It's suggested that the S10+ is the most popular of the three but I'm not sure how accurate or by what standards that may be measured against. In any case, clicking on a video that I thought was for my phone's model and turning out that it's not is not something that will greatly upset me. To me that's just a minor nuisance. Nothing for sensible adults to get overly upset about, IMO.
It's the reality people! Majority of folks like big phones now, popularized by the Galaxy note 1 and a bit later by the iPhone plus
I'm getting triggered over not having an S10e device forum here on xda :/
Never been "triggered" in my entire life.
I don't even know what "triggered" means! ??
It is even worst as I am getting the 10e and you see almost nothing for it.
WTF is Triggered?

Recently I had been wondering to the about the water resistant capacity of this phone. So was checking out the externals.....I noticed this small cut on the right edge of the camera bump. Not sure if this is normal (in every handset) or just in mine. Anyone has any info on this??

I got in touch with the customer care after this thru insta, they have confirmed it to be part of phone design....
Dipping the camera module even slightly under water is not an option it seems.
Even I was concerned when I saw it but its a part of the design. NOt sure what purpose it serves.
It's a mic, quite a few of the newer phones with the big camera bums have this also.
