What's the worst beating suffered by your eXpo/IQ?

That's blasphemy!

The phone is sturdily built...but let's not get carried away lol 

Hey nice story hehe, I mean it turned out ok.


 

 I leave my phone in my top-box at work myself, I used to build small diesel engines, some had a hand crank starter(Gear reduction), and if you had anything in your breast pocket and the engine backfired, you stood a good chance of having that Bic pen or screwdriver shoved through bottom of chin into your head from the swinging handle, so now, only my smoke reside in breast pocket at work.

 Also seen a fella loose his mag light from his breast pocket while tuning a blown 460, fan an the mag light redecorated under the cowling for about 10 seconds then exited through lower passenger fender across floor and shot through dry wall an landed in the parts room, still worked just looked like a porcupine from the fan blades hitting it lol.

My phone, one fall, in case, leather slip style, landed on top end with power button, 2 itty dents in chrome trim, all good so far.

I was closing my car door with my eXpo in my hand and dropped (read: slung) it in the process. Fell about 4 ft onto concrete and slid another 3 or 4 ft. Almost had a heart attack lol! Has a nick in chrome trim at top and bottom on left side and a scratch at bottom left of keyboard. Still works perfectly!

Wow, nice to hear the survival rate is quite good.

Little shocked actually lol.

The first week I had my Expo, it slipped out of my shirt pocket getting out of my car in the rain - naturally, the day before my soft case for it arrived in the mail. It fell about 3 feet to the wet asphalt of the parking lot, then slid about 3 more feet sideways, screen-side down. I was horrified. 

Fortunately I had already put on a screen protector so the screen was undamaged, but the top right corner of the chrome trim, right above the memory card slot, had several scratches and one good divot (approx 2mm long) taken out of it, exposing the darker plastic beneath. Other than this cosmetic damage, which my soft case covers, the phone is still perfect, like nothing had happened at all. 

Yeah when its not done by ones own self, it's not as easy to deal with initially.

Good story, glad it all washed out for you in the end

Now that's a beating.
