mrgsm021: I've considered a black one but if you got a scratch on it, it is more noticeable than a silver one.

Hollidog: I have maybe half a dozen tiny dings on the top of my phone (talking less than one square millimetre) and they are still noticeable, but yes, I can imagine the black one being worse.

Speaking of dings, case sucked up a pretty bad one the other night. Was getting out of my dads car (Toyota Prado), and I had it on my lap. Not thinking about it I jumped out and I could see my phone falling to the floor, probably from about one metre, to tar seal. Pretty good chip out of the bottom of the case, and only a little bump on the top where it bounced into the ground again.

Maybe you should invest in a helmet.

I jest but man whenever I hear stuff like that I remember why cases are so important for the drop prone. Friend of mine has dropped his iPhone out of a moving vehicle no less than three times... It's survival is completely reliant on the quality of cases he buys.

Then there's me with my naked phones and strict pockets only policy. If it breaks I'm probably disabled from the fall so it'd be the least of my worries hehe.

Remember when cameras were expensive as hell and you never operated one without the tie thing around your wrist? That could help a few people hang on to their phones perhaps ;)

UnitedWeFall: Woo, got the phone (899) from Noel Leeming.

I opened it up in the car and it had some sort of glue-like substance on the corner, plus a nice noticeable gap.

Got a replacement straight away, which had a significant dent in the metal surround..

Replacement number 3 seems to be good!

HTC really need to work on their quality control.

Enough moaning though, this phone is INCREDIBLE. I've had iPhones, Desires, Galaxy S2/3, Sensation, One X... This thing pwns them all, hands down. Speakers are amazing, screen is amazing, camera is amazing, build is amazing... nuff said.
