Can you imagine a car body made of that plastic
Damn...I had no idea how decent it was. I guess Samsung really know their hardware.

Yea, I figured it wouldn't be that brittle.

Normally when you bend plastic , it goes white at the bend point as is damaged/weakened , no sign of that here
This grade of plastic is more expensive than aluminium, and for good reasons. Im happy I have this phone and not one with an aluminium cover.
Great, I thought mine was going to break when taking it off lol
that's pretty damn impressive.
Not even fatigue
im amazed, but has anyone else tried this with theirs?

I was about to but then i looked inside my pants and realised my balls are not big enough.
Before people go trying this are we sure this is not third party? Don't recognise the logo under the camera, unless it's a carrier one?
I've tried it with mine, no problem at all.. It pop's right back to it's original state.. Did it however when temperatures were high (>25 Celcius), somehow i get the feeling that matters also a bit..
By the way.. The logo is of Anycall, it's the Korean telecom division from Samsung.
thats awesome, seems better than the SE Vivaz battery cover (my last phone)...
there's been no day i havent found something new and awesome about my SGSII =)
lmao nice one tbh first time i took it off was like omg its gonna break now i just rip it off lol but put my mind at rest im not gonna damage it
Has anybody tried bending their backcover like in the video, just in case it was a special rubber one
No way.. I wont try it
When I first took the cover off my new SGS2, I was extremely disappointed to see how flimsy the back cover was and was handling it like it was going to snap at any second..
Very nice to see that it is pretty strong, although I have no intention of testing the hardiness of my own one
Gutsy
It definitely took balls for that guy to try it on the video the first time. We can't even try it after seeing a demonstration!
I got so relieved when i saw that video xD
Got so scared the couple times i had to remove it
"Oh god, need to open the case again, its totally gonna break now!"
My thought every single time xD

Do you hate the extra bulk of a case or have an extended battery that a case won't fit? Afraid of dropping your phone?

Just drill two tiny holes in the top of your battery cover and fish this lanyard through, then wear it on your wrist when using the phone. No drop, no break, no case, who cares?
** P.S., You can also probably pick one of these up at the cell phone accessories shop at your local mall.

Hmm $1.25, cheap price. When factoring in having to give up your man card with it, it is a little too steep. Haha...jk , not for me but certainly a great idea.

yeah im pretty sure a drop would result in the battery door popping off and your phone hitting the ground...
this is great if your concerned about the battery door and not the actual phone tho !

First of all I looked over the phone quite extensively. No real place to attach it. Besides, it will just get caught on my keys when I pull it out my purse.

Guys. I made these doors.. I have a video on youtube with me shaking my phone with the lanyard.. The doors are on very tightly, better than oem

This thread is like the man pictured here:
hi guys I wanna shared this problem with all because maybe someone has an idea to solve.
I have problem when I press on the green areas of the image, I have a little Creaking, but it feels when I press a little hard, but still bothers me because it's a $700 phone, I bought my phone on ebay to a Chinese seller, so I think I'll have to find a solution for myself and I would like to know if anyone can give me an idea to solve this.
Thanks.

Nothing in either sopt for me. I have a minuscule amount creaking up at the very top of the battery door. Just have to push the battery over up a little bit and it goes away.
No creaking for me in those spots or anywhere else.
Ah, I have that creaking...but I have to push very hard. Bought mine via Expansys. Doesn't bother me too much. OP, how much pressure do you have to apply to make it creak?
Yea I definitely have the creaking when I press down around and below the camera. It's annoying b/c that's usually where I rest my finger when I'm on the phone. Is it worth trying to get the device replaced?
It always is and always will be user preference. Some people have lower thresholds for the little annoying things. Getting it replaced is solely up to you. For me, it's not a big enough issue.
No issue here. Sorry.

I have to press a little hard to hear the crunch, I think plastic phones always crackle a bit , whenever I can live with this if not worse

I just solve my problem 2 days ago, I did was disassemble the phone and remove the housing and put it back, Now I have no creaking even in the battery cover, my phone is now like a rock.

crazy video
damn,its water proff...BIG LIKE!!!
never come s3
look this http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=e3ri6vrmPbc
I'm kinda confused, a lot of people complaining about screen being prone to scratch, a lot complaining about not being gorilla glass etc etc...
As the other guy how had his one x going down from the second window floor and still working fine.
Had switch my yellowish Xperis S to th one X that arrived at home today but i'm on a trip so tomorrow is a big day, huge expectation about it after frequenting this forum for like 2 weeks now!
Hopefully no screen flex, bad screen ripple, gps or any other issue!

How can that be possible cant belive ...
Wow these videos are amazing, at least i don't have to worry about my phone too much now. Especially after that one dude on here dropped his from a window and it survived
Beat that SIII
Shock & awe!
just plain wow! Now I'm prouder with my HTC One X more than ever!
Next time I get into an argument with an iPhone or Samsung user, I'm gonna smash his brains in with my HOX!!!!
Even better, someone should do a phone fight off video, where they smash the phones against each other, like HOX vs SIII or HOX Vs iPhone!!!
One day before my protective screen arrived I accidentally dropped my work phone over the HOXs' screen. It's a heavy blackberry and I was sure it would have damaged the screen. To my surprise there was not a single micro scratch there. Nonetheless the protective screen arrive and I´m happy to have it on
My HOX got run over
So today i dropped my HOX and my mates car ran it over... needless to say i was crapping my pants when i was picking it up to see the damage but to my surprise nothing!!!!! Not even a scratch, dent or anything! I am using a plastic case and a screen protector so that would have absorbed a lot of the punishment but still very happy no damage to the phone!

I do the same thing with my rock case, don't think it's a big deal really. Makes the phone a bit lighter, plus if anything gets behind the case it won't scratch the back cover.

Looks kinda cool , only thing I would worry about is how far the camera lens sticks out and what surface you are sitting your phone on.
I feel a little bad for liking it.
Avoid dusty areas... Make sure your battery can't fall out enough to shut off either.

Looks good!! Think I might do the same thing.
Is yours kinda bulgy and lumpy, does it sit almost half way out of the phone?
I noticed mine has a few bumps and bulges where the 3 batteries are and that made me wonder if one of more of them were exploded and if it'd still work with one part being exploded and the rest one or two not being impacted by it.

Mines like that to so I wouldn't worry about it if anything they probably would maybe send you a different one

The back of mine is bumpy, two bumps where the top two batteries are then bottom battery is solid and flat but sits in the compartment rather cockeyed raising up up and out at a angle... Also I typically get a days use out of it now suddenly. Bought it used, dunno if it was defective or I damaged it by keeping phone on a constant charge more so than usual. But I thought/figured the two top batteries were supposed to be at a solid flat level, not a humpity hump level.
Bumps....yeh
Got those too....but the ZL works perfectly...g

As long as you don't like bend it or get it really really hot you'll be alright man you will notice the phone messing up and not charging stuff like that if it goes bad

Here's the battery, even the tech at the phone repair shop said that's not normal. Also the bulging got so bad the cover wouldn't fit anymore, around the s-pen slot it would never stay sealed and closed there,
