Video guy can afford those expensive phones but no cover to help absorb impacts?

And he must have hit it against the edge of something looking at that impact at the button...

Getting my Note 5 today...

Just watched the video - that doesn't look like a "drop" unless he "dropped" it from very high onto a solid object. Anyway - I am usually very careful with my phones. The last one I dropped I tried to catch it with my foot.

Ended up kicking it across the room into the wall. So now, I try and not let it fall.

What I don't get is people who buy expensive gadgets then end up destroying the same gadgets wilfully.

No big touch screen phone should be dropped. No matter the make or model, damage can, and most likely will occur. These drop tests that people do on phones that cost R10 000 and up is fcking stupid in my view.

i don't think he just "dropped it" that damage seems so much more significant that a simple drop onto wooden floors.... i can't see wooden floors doing that to the button

I have saved many a delicate cellphone/tablet/cups that way by quickly putting my foot below the falling object to break the momentum. Always work. But hey, everyone doesn't have my quick reflexes! :D

haha i have this friend that his natural instinct when he drops something is to kick it... not stop it but kick the thing as far as possible. Its not that he does it intentionally its just reaction. He actually broke a nokia 3315

Sometimes I get it right and stop the momentum of the falling object, but sometimes you are a millisecond too late. That's when said object becomes airborne at a rate of knots. Can't get it right all the time... ;)
