Motorola Droid Scratch Test

[KBzonda]

0:15 U mad Bro ? :P

[TheTakedown987]

ive had mine since it came out, and its never had a screen protector. The screen has never had a single scratch on it. I swear the screen is indestructible. I even let my friend take a hammer to it. nothing

[Zeskents]

Nice lol

[MoBbLo0d]

Is that a Medical Marijuana capsul i see at 00:25

[elduvall7]

@MoBbLo0d actually my ibuprofen bottle :P

[McAsSF]

But will it Blend?

[ReichEnemy]

I don't know how mine got scratched... not the screen though, the shitty metal on its borders.

[MrGsDome]

or you can use sand

[KompressorV12]

people who use screen protectors are the biggest idiots in the world, it amazes me the people the fall for purchasing one.. prolly the same ppl who STILL buy EmergenC for being sick even though they were sued and publically came out saying it was a placebo

[barbarojacp]

@KompressorV12

tha big deep scratch in my screen is not placebo

[TmGino]

Son lappen, hätte gelacht wenn da voll der kratzer drinne gewesen wäre

[kingreptarrr]

you have my keyboard

[RitvarLegend]

rich pig

[harddawg2486]

One question..why?

[Malthazaar]

Stupid hick..

[niko99]

wooohaaa NICE !

[jonman456]

Buster Bluth?

[scoobiesmackies]

scoobiesmackies@gmx.de

pls add me on lockerz >FWB<... thx

[ccl18bball]

Why would you do that to your phone?

[1manwithstick]

@ccl18bball I guess he's demonstrating how over time the screen will remain reletivity scratch free...  no brainer

[MattLydon2010]

Why would u do such a thing to the best phone ever!? and how did u get droid 2 software on the original droid?

[trev0r303]

@MattLydon2010 That isnt Droid 2 software that's just what the droid on Android version 2.0 looked like. The look changed when the Droid got Android version 2.0.1

[outoftowntim]

Go Hawkeyes!

[ItsTheChief117]

Where ya'll from? I'ma cuntry boay! I tolk lik dis cuz I ain't got no gramma. How's about we go down to da rodeo? YEEHAW! lol jk

[jparkyyy]

[BabyBoyElNene260]

NIkka You Fckiin Crazy !!!! i WOuld Neva try tht shit on my Droid Big Ups Toh ya haha Lol get At meh.

[irikk3]

does the droid x have a gorilla screen?

[Ace33blue]

@irikk3 No its plastic.

[guanhao285]

@irikk3 Droid X have Gorilla Glass!

[ajiron2008]

why would you do that?

[ThaChingster]

how did you get that unlock screen?!

[scooter4life1313]

@ThaChingster Yu have to update yur droid

[oxygentheif94]

why do i feel that if i do this with my droid it will somehow crack and i'll be left with no phone :P

[steve625c6]

How do you have your "Unlock" screen to look like that? I had a Droid and had it replaced with a new one and both still have the drag right to Unlock feature.

[scooter4life1313]

@steve625c6 Yu have to update yur droid

[steve625c6]

@scooter4life1313 Updated to the current level and its still the same.

[WeTackleMountains]

my droid has fallen onto hard surfaces many times, and has been through alot, theres a tiny unnoticeable scratch on the screen that can only be seen if the light hits it's just right. so I can never even see it, this is on of the most durable phones I've ever had and seen.

[Olysses]

nice vid! ive got a new milestone yesterday and was really worried about getting scratches on its display ! Now im a bit relieved! We need more people like you who sacrifice their mobile phones for a good cause! :)

But do you still recommend a screen protector foil?

[jloyatv]

0:39 but thu sceen it's sayulf

[phoenixmar]

Okay, so stabbing at it with your keys didn't scratch it, but when I put mine in my pocket it got 2 little nicks. If I was wearing chainmail pants this would make sense, however, I usually stick with standard 'cloth' clothing. Perhaps it's only vulnerable to soft things. For your next vid, you should rub it with a kitten.

[siriusgamer]

@phoenixmar Or maybe perhaps you had a grain or two of sand or something in your pants. Glass is made of heated sand so only something as hard as or harder than sand can scratch it. The next vid should show him scratching a droid with a diamond.

[evangus]

@phoenixmar dumbass

[biowerks]

The screen does crack. But it is obviously pretty resilient, nice video. I have been rolling without a screen protector for a while now with no scratches and was wondering if it was just me being super careful to not scratch it.

[CriticismAtItsBest]

I tried this at home. I hate you.

[stack67]

Good info But I would never do that to my phone.

[XxPlayBoy909xX]

im a dirty low life nigger :] ..

[sarahauburn]

@ elduvall7 I LOVE YOU. AWESOME VIDEO!

[elduvall7]

@sarahauburn ...creepy weird people on the internet

[elduvall7]

@sarahauburn ...but thanks :)

[jenibearxoxo]

omg thats amazing (: that'll be my phone here in the next few days!!

[MW2king205]

you are a dumbass we all saw the scratch

[soccermagician17]

stop ittttttttt. its a fucking droid.

[sonkris5]

i know how to scrach it really bad....try using a titanium ring or something of that material

[ragingbull87]

hope the key was alright.

[LouisvHarten]

0:14 - I was like :O :O :O WTF ARE YOU DOING?!

But no scratches, wow...

[tylercarson158]

dude we all saw that that was a scratch

[emmaash15425]

is the droid a good phone?

[XoCharlotteXo760]

@emmaash15425 GREAT phone! I own it and have the 2.2 DROID X software OS on it... best phone out there! :)

[NIrvanasnakedbaby]

your a terrible person!

[MrLegoJoe]

dude, i have a droid and im using it to type this comment lol, and the dxtop app lets you have 5 home screens, just saying

[IamtheANTIDOTE2556]

@MrLegoJoe well launcer pro beta whipes out every other home screen app out, out their. on top of that its free

[sirnick88]

@IamtheANTIDOTE2556 and i believe when you update to froyo "home" is replaced with "launcher"...which is a lesser version of "launcher pro". this is a testament to the awesomeness of the free home replacement. :)

[XoCharlotteXo760]

@MrLegoJoe Haha me too

[CCHLsBestHockey]

buyut the screyeen itsyelf...

[041190Jarkal]

take a needle and hold it close to the sharp side. now scratch it. have fun.

my friend tried it...and has wonderful scratches on his phone. great thing

[ggoldon]

thats just redneck right there brouther

[pologna13]

What if u took sand paper and started sanding the screen

[killzoomer]

wtf hes stupid...why would u do that

[vaporny]

you are a re re dude!! but i guess that cool!!!

[cjf334]

DROPPING THE DROID ON CONCRETE DOESNT DO ANYTHING TO IT EXCEPT SCRATCH THE BLACK PAINT N POP OFF THE BATTERY COVER N BATTERY. IM REALLY SUPRISED IT IS REALLY DURABLE N AMAZING IT IS MY WORK PHONE N I DO MANUAL LABOR FORKLIFT OPERATOR N TRUCK DRIVING N I AM ON THE PHONE DROPPING IT ALL THE TIME ON CONCRETE N IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS NO PROBLEMS JUST SCRATCHES GET INVISISHIELD FOR SCREEN THOUGH

[wpederson1]

mine got a tiny scratch on it somehow, and I've been so careful with it... One day I just noticed this ominous scratch on my screen :-/

[jchamblee3107]

the droid doesn't scratch because the screen is made of scratch-proof glass instead of plastic

[realdeal8471]

As a DROID owner, I thank you for this video, very imformative. Pay no attention to the has-been *-phone fanboy comments. They are probably just mad because they have a hand cramp from having to strategically hold the new 4G to even make a phone call. DROID Does.

[Davchamp]

WOW this DROID was the shit UNTIL I PHONE 4 ARRIVED !!!!!

[yomommadigspirates]

@Davchamp Iphone is still a shitty phone regardless of how many "G's" it is. Evo > Droid> iPhone. and when the new Droids come out, then droid will gladly take it's number one spot back.

[mobcat40]

@Davchamp iPhone4 was the shit until you had to hold it like a tea cup to just to place phone calls.

Apparently Apple thought antennas were "magic" and didn't realize it's not a good idea to put electrically active tuning instruments on the outside of a phone where people will touch them.

[danielh35]

That makes us none having "insurance" users happy

[iluvboobies511]

OMG THE DROID IS EPIC I JUST GOT ONE 2 days AGO Thanks for makeing thois vid

[lolapimm]

Ok, so my wife and I were watching this and the first question was... Why in the hell is he doing that to his phone??? LOL! Is this is a test phone, your personal phone or what? Great Video bu the way! :)

[Forggeter]

Yes, glass cracks if you drop it or put extreme pressure on it. The only that can cut glass is a diamond, the hardest known mineral.

[toonygamer2004]

If you want to be silly, you can also do the scissors method :) ha ha

Although, that would be a bit messy.

[beebeeice]

the only problem about Glass is that it cracks.

[xXPwinsauseXx]

I scratched mine...

[loveer111]

i dropped my droid phone and i don't have no scratches on it but it did get a big crack on it i was so sad so know i got get it fixed for like 50 dollars and the last droid i had got a chunk take-in off the side of it so i am so getting my phone covered in ghost armor and with that 1st droid i had i had a lot of problems with it it was crazy cuz i got it right when it came out

[shui2hot4u]

if you didnt know, droid screen is made from (n im not joking) gorilla glass which is highly scratch resistant :D

[TheRemingtonman870]

jack ass its a tempered glass screen its not going to scratch as easy as a regular phone with plastic and this next part goes to 925728dragonfly: yes the screen will shatter i know from personal experince it wont brake out due to the glue but yes it will shadder and look simular to a spider web

[cris892]

the screen isnt getting very scratched at all. but each time you press that hard on your secreen its probably ruinning it more that way

[SaraEverSoClever]

Heyy wanna try rocks or a harder object next time?

thankss ;p

[crb791979]

@SaraEverSoClever Do you carry your phone in a bag full of rocks?

The guy is showing a real world example of what could happen. If you're out dropping rocks on your phone you have more issues than scratches.

[SaraEverSoClever]

@crb791979 You don't know what I do with my phone.

[masterslayersp]

why would you ever do that... people get a screen protector.

[Midnight6405]

Im thinking about the Droid it looks aweosme and like a super phone i hate apple items and i wish it would die :) how is the droid and is it worth the money to get

[tedyjet]

Why would you do this to your own phone? you dingus.

[Randollll]

why would u do that? What has america come to? :'-(

[a1u1s1t1e1n]

one day i woke up and decided to make a vid of me hacking at my $450 droid with a key... you got some balls man

[soj1984]

will it blend?

[Moppin919]

most scratches on screens even this good usually come from small particles of sand and dirt and just grit that is in a pocket. Usually keys or a lighter or anything else of that size will not damage a screen unless it has a very very sharp point. The dirt in your pocket acts like sandpaper against the screen. If you did a sandpaper test i bet you would get some scratches. :)

[Iguana93]

@Moppin919 Yes, right now I am squinting at my Milestone and cursing heavens, because when I bought it I was comforted by this very video not to buy a screen protector, and now there is a milimeter long scratch on my screen that is so narrow, that it acts as an interference aperture and messes with the light coming through it, so, especially on a white screen, it shines in all colors of the rainbow..! F*** it, I'm buing a protector now..

[DahakaMatthew]

Good video. Point well made friend.

[selfdestruct32]

should i get the droid or the droid eris????

[Bobina20]

@selfdestruct32 droid. i have had both and i took back my eris for motorola droid!

[Lovestuffonline]

Well while in Miami, I dropped my Moto droid 2 stories off a balcony, it landed on the top level of the parking garage, in a puddle of rain water about 3 inches deep. The phone slide open and there was water between the LCD and the screen it's self, but no damage besides that. That was about 3 months ago, and the phone still works perfectly...

[pruje]

The Droid has an actual GLASS screen...not the crapulent plastic ones on most phones. its very hard to scratch glass. You would literally need to scrub it with sand paper, and even that might not work. Glass is a little heavier, but as you can see, it is also a lot more durable.

[wclarknewt]

get invisible shield awesome lifetime warranty . key might not scratch it try sand paper

[moselotes]

te mamaste

pinhces llavesasos ke le diste

[blacksfell]

your a dummy

[skaterboi3773]

Thanks a bunch. I just ordered my droid and was wondering how durable the screen was. Thanks

[PrinzP228]

freak

[jo2thenah]

i was cringing while you were doing that. but that was informative! i might not buy a screen protector now. Thanks!

[100novatoxic]

@123nycgangsta ur cool keep tryn 2 b a gangsta fag!!!

[omegahuman01]

do you have enough money 2 put your kickass phone at risk like that or do u just have a warentee?

[emxdotname]

omg, what ur doin :D i dont want to do this to my milestone... :)

[Yoshi12308]

I got my droid a day or two ago. I'm a clumsy person so I've dropped it at least 5 or six times outside on the concrete and inside on my floor...(which has carpet on it...well not good carpet...I live in campus apartments...)

It's held up pretty well. No scratches or anything =)

Thanks for this tho. Would you suggest I still buy a screen protector?

[spinewhiped]

howed you get your lock screen like that?

[elduvall7]

@spinewhiped That lock screen was the old android 2.0 lockscreen. The droid now has 2.1 and only if you root your phone can you get that lockscreen back. Kind of a complicated process if you don't know anything about rooting.

[925728dragonfly]

u have a defective phone rite??

can u scratch it with a sharp knife??

see what happens

also what happens when u drop it?

does it crack into 100 pieces like the i phone??

[elduvall7]

@925728dragonfly I DID have a defective phone but not anymore. Not sure if a knife would scratch it but if you drop the droid the screen will more than likely crack/shatter due to the hard fall since the droid is so heavy. I wouldn't recommend trying :P

[925728dragonfly]

@elduvall7 thanx!

[9qwer1]

@elduvall7 haha i drop my droid all the time (not on purpose lol) nothing happens to it...

[combatCommohooah]

@elduvall7 I seen that happen to my friend. I bought the little red case that goes on the front and back, hopefully if i drop it real bad that will protect it.

[YoungLink51423]

@elduvall7 dropped it multiple times >.> on carpet and concrete D;

still running strong lol

[ShiroKado]

@elduvall7 i tried dropping it. he plactic parts got dented a bi bu the glass was fine. and note i dropped it from a 2nd story building

[Burn8tor]

@925728dragonfly i droped mine and i just got some dings on the phone but i got a cover for it to make it not noticble

[bossy12100]

@925728dragonfly hehe maybe it does 

[UnrealGlider]

@925728dragonfly The fuck you on about? Dropped my iphone about 7 times and not a scratch... Dumb kid, come back when you can afford a phone.

[openmindedkiller]

@925728dragonfly i drop my phone allot n my screen hasn't crack or anything lol

[canampwns]

thanks haha

i kept wondering how durable the screen really was i got my answer ((:

[spsjason2]

Why would you do this?

[100novatoxic]

ur a idiot why by a phone then rape it with ur keys u redneck hillbilly!!!!

[elduvall7]

@100novatoxic Wow, that's mature... thanks for your wonderful comment.

[100novatoxic]

@elduvall7 your welcome why dont u go use those keys 2 scrach those nascar cars that all u hillbillys love fucking idiot!

[SofaKingAwesome23]

@elduvall7 Dude, don't worry about him. He obviously can't even spell "buy" or "you" etc. so he must have not passed the 3rd grade. Don't worry about children. This is a great video btw!

[santaman135]

@100novatoxic fuck you inbred! Why watch this video if your only going to insult this man? Fuck off and get a life, bastard.

[kangalex]

@100novatoxic YOU'RE* AN* idiot why BUY*...... jesus kid, pay attention in school will ya?

[JacKn1feSugarTrucK]

That hurt my soul dude.

[TheFunnyFlyingFerret]

Even though I know it's defective, I actually felt my stomach lurch a little when he started going at it with that key.  Glad we could see this, though; it's very reassuring!

[darkwolfgirl]

Thanks I'm getting s droid soon and this was one of my main worries.

[snoopgawg]

I kinda wish you scratched it with all the pressure you could and just swiped across the whole thing

[ilovehaterskater]

How about we all just do the smart thing and scratch our 500 droid to see if it gets scratches

just for the fun

no worries if it fcks up the screen

it will be okay

peachy

[xNyc008X]

why the hell would you do that!! do that to a iphone or ipad..

[XoCharlotteXo760]

@xNyc008X GOT THAT RIGHT!!! :)

[Riff60]

Thanks for posting this. I hate screen covers and have been going back and forth with what I should do. You answered my question...no cover needed. Hope you were able to get your defective droid replaced without any problems.

[Misho5z]

its actually 600$ market price and not 300

[ricanzb]

LMAO Yhur a fucking idiot  .

[fondupot]

Wow ur an idiot.

[RogueKovu]

I love how retarded some people who commented on this are. He clearly says that its defective and he has another one that he keeps maintained. Read your shit youtube.

[williambrazzers]

what possessed u to do this? lol

[MrCrayonInk95]

OMG I feel so bad. You were just trying to do a simple test to show people if scratches appearon a droid screen and YOU (the one doing something nice) got scratches where it was not meant to be scratched. Sorry that that happened, good video tho.

[Buraion]

oo so its as scratch proof as the storm, thats good

[MomoKun121]

LOL I'm just kidding. But still; please don't ever do that again. I have like OCD, and am squeamish, so I can't stand looking at things like this. I am trying to get my hands on a Droid right now. But remember, PLEASE NO MORE KING KONG SLASHY-SLASHY ON THE POOR, BEAUTIFUL THING, OK? Thanks!!!! :)

[MomoKun121]

Really. That literally made me cry. You slash the crap out of that beautiful, brand new, EXPENSIVE phone like nothing, and I am having a hard time even getting my own Droid. Thank you for making me have sympathy for the poor phone. Thank you. Yep.

[holypredator]

@MomoKun121

Wow, why so emotional? I wonder what happens if you watch the "Smash my PS3 video"

[withinyoux]

Hey everybody. Got my droid, lovin it. I got a case for it, but love it without the case. Does the metal part around the screen really get scratched that much if I leave it caseless?

Thanks!

[KingDingleberry]

@withinyoux mine is a bit. dont know where half of them came from

[ig881997]

lets say i did a stupid thing and put it in a basket full of rocks and there is a scratch on it. it still does not show that much but it is anoying

[haoqh]

Let me scratch it...

[captiller]

ya lets get a 300$ DROID and try to scratch the shit out of it

[N0V3MB3RRA1N666]

hmm gots me a new phone lemme scratch at it and put it on youtube hur hurr

[iSahand]

haha

[LRBScarecrow]

oh man...if you can't handle this vid then "will it blend" vids might kill you.

[demon69120]

Thanks for risking your phone's life.

Perhaps I won't invest on an expensive grimy screen protector from Zagg.

[elijahykim]

thanks for the video. really wanted to see how strong gorilla glass really was

[831GTA]

nice lol im getting the droid just checking the stuff out before i get it thanks i didnt thaink that ZaGG thing was real

[ShadowtheHedgehog576]

I like the fact that almost all the people commenting here are materialists who go crazy just by watching this... Why would you care for what this person did to his phone? He bought it so I don't think there is no reason to complain if he wants to smash his keys on his phone...

Nice video btw. Great to know that the Motorola Droid has a durable screen :D

[gunsperson7]

shitsucker

[mhonching01]

NO NOT WITH THE LOVELY DROID :) thanks no SCRATCHES!!

Lol @ Gorilla GLASS :D

[mamal12395]

can it be cracked if you drop it even with the gorilla glass?? plz help im getting it soon

[daniggaandre]

its not unbreakable. Its just more resistant. It can definitely still crack.

[mcrcandy]

HOW ABOUT U SCRATCHING IT WITH A ROCK?

[Undefeatable117]

Wow calm down guys, its just a vid, and like he said the phone was broken

[unicorneyelash]

lol, my screen protector got scratched on my droid, took it off today to replace it with a new one. got bubbles in it. then threw it away and found out the droid has gorilla glass! no need for a protector anymore!!!

[elduvall7]

Gosh, isn't the internet filled with such nice people? I did this test because it was being requested by many forum members at the time and this droid was defective anyway... so I no longer have that droid and I take really GOOD care of my current droid. If you can't be nice, then you should probably keep your mouth shut as it doesn't provide anything worthwhile. Thanks to all of you with constructive comments!

[stix2002]

@elduvall7

Hey man, thanks for the test...i spent my money on one of those ZAGG protectors just to find out that I didn't need it lol!!

These other people should learn how to listen to the video instead of watching it with no sound...you clearly stated the phone was broken already......

[pruje]

@elduvall7 Thanks so much. This was exactly what I was worried about when I bought this thing. This video was useful.

[armoredcavalry]

@elduvall7 Ha, don't take critics too seriously, this is youtube after all. :P

Thanks for the video, it was informative and interesting. I appreciate it.

dumb fuck...
