Re: I should sue htc/sprint this velcro case suck
Count me in as one who had the phone open out from the velco case and slid across my concrete drive way... *sigh* It slid a long time too and the corners are now all roughed up. At least the screen didn't get damaged.

But yeah, on a complete serious note... Its happaned to me more times than I can ever count. Usually happens to me within the first 24 hours of purchase. I guess I am lucky like that. Get the scratches out of the way early. Listen to this... BRAND NEW mogul in box... Had it replaced beacuse the soft keys were really scratched and stopped working. Dont know how ;c) Get home... start getting out of car with phone on my lap as I was loading up apps after flashing it in the VZW parking lot to my Titan ROM in sig block.... Phone lands at about a 91 degree angle to concrete... Just right to hit those same damn buttons... Scratched them all to hell and they stopped woprkign again. I was about to sue VZW then I remembered that I had another to arrive the very next day via fed ex (yeah, I always call 800 support then march into a store, tehn keep the best of the two on a replacement). Boxed the one up I just freshly borke and kept the refurb.... Which had a bad backlight.... So I sent that back too and got a vouge... Then I sent that.... anyways... The point of the story is... S!@#t happens. Its not worthign suing over, or even wasting a post IMHO. I have no sympathy for you op. Been there done that, replaced it and did it again. And again... And again.... I have learned my lesson about cases. I just use my left pocket. Dont ever put anyting in it. Have a routine... Keys and change in left pcoket. Wallet in back pocket. Phone in right pocket. ALWAYS. No variation unless I am wearing a coat then I put the phone in the inside pocket. Last edited by scrosler; 01-18-2009 at 10:03 AM. Reason: edited for readability |

Re: I should sue htc/sprint this velcro case suck
Well could be a few factors. I have some velcro that's just super strong. They are working fine after a few years.. The other is that I have three pets and while there are some pet hair in the velcro I didn't think it would be enough to lessen the effect of it. Then again, I have some pet hair in other things with velcro and the strength of it is still good..
In the end, all I know is, I had it closed and when I was I took a little hop off my front step and then next thing I see is the phone fly up and out of my holster, sliding across the driveway with me getting a sad look on my face as I watch it roll around with the stylus and battery flying out. |

I'm still laughing........!!! I have had vz service since dumping Sprint (best move I ever made), but I really hate the way vz does business. I don't understand what they gain by gimping out a nice phone (do they buy them that way for 1/2 price??). It also irritates me that they have the highest rates of any company & STILL want an extra $10 a month for GPS service on top of that.... I stay with vz because I want a service that works correctly 99% of the time & vz gives me that, but when it was time to buy a TP I bought a Sprint TP off ebay & converted it to vz service for all the reasons you stated........ ~John |

Oh no, heh I wasn't taking it all serious or anything.,
![]() Yeah I saw the way VZW was. When I was at CES the Microsoft booth had a lot of their WinMo phones next to each other. The Touch Pro's from all carriers were lined up next to a Touch HD. I looked at the VZW one and I was disappointed for VZW folks in terms of memory. Quote:
