That heart-stopping drop... and why I'm now a believer in 'naked' phones.

Hey everyone,

 

I just had to share this because I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I absolutely LOVE the look and feel of my S24 Ultra – the titanium finish, the way the camera rings sit flush. I've always hated bulky cases because they hide all the design we pay a premium for.

 

So, I've been running my phone 'naked' but with a clear film protector. Yesterday, I was getting out of my car, and it slipped from my lap. It didn't just fall, it did that horrible, slow-motion cartwheel onto the asphalt. I heard that distinct 'tink-tink-tink' sound as it hit the ground. My heart just sank.

 

I walked over, fully expecting a shattered screen or a deep gouge on the side. I picked it up... and it was perfect. Not a single scratch, not a single ding. The only reason it survived, I'm 100% sure, is the full-body Gadgetshieldz I put on it day one. It's so thin you forget it's there, but it clearly absorbed the entire impact.

 

It was such a relief! It made me realize I don't have to choose between enjoying the phone's design and protecting it.

 

Has anyone else had a 'miracle save' like this? What's your go-to solution for protecting your Samsung without hiding its beauty? Would love to hear your stories

This must be the default action of watching phone crashes to pavement.

I've had the exact scene myself from setting the phone so extremely safe in your lap, then 20 miles go by, and the brain erased that deadly activity.
I escaped the exploded screen scene. But corner of frame saved the impression.
Cheers

Just because the surface survived, does not mean nothing was damaged internally. You should run a full diagnostic.
