I don't know about garbage. Look, the bigger these screens get, the more vulnerable they will be to damage that much is obvious. I cringe when i see bigger and bigger screens with smaller and smaller case frames thinking of the damage potential. Gone are the days of 2 inch 65k colour screen with 2.5 centimetres of case frame all round.

All these smartphones are vulnerable to this sort of face first drop damage. Which is why you should buy a case for them. End of.

both of those phones are built shitty. i have an lg quantum ( wp7 ) which has been dropped multiple times in multiple directions, fac, side, back, accidently thrown from my pocket, fell out of my shorts as ive gotten in the car, pulled out of my pocket and flown 6ft when i was lifting ( hand catches the headphone cord, yanks it out )......point is, its still in perfect shape minus some scratches and the back pops off often after it hits. thats it......$200 phone ( prob 50 now ) vs $600 phone....and it wins :/ something is off

Yea this is very demotivating when considering the phone. that was a big touting factor for the galaxy S1 now i gotta get a good case for the SIII. looks so fragile.
