My front left pocket is my dedicated phone pocket. I never put anything other than my phone that pocket. Everything else goes into the right pocket.

Well there's your likely problem. The only thing I ever put in the same pocket as my phone is cash or something like a napkin, never any kind of hard plastic/metal, especially touching the screen.

Metal or plastic won't scratch Gorilla Glass. A single grain of sand /grit on the other hand..
 
Actually, do they make holsters for these by chance? When it's summer I can put it in my pockets as shorts pockets tend to be more loose, but jeans pockets tend to be too tight to put anything big in them especially when sitting down. Guess I can always put it in my coat pocket too. My current phone is a blackberry which has a holster so that will be one thing I'll miss if I can't get one for this phone.

Same

I already ordered a Poetic bumper (Green) off ebay and Screen Protectors for front and back

I usually don't use Gel cases (Ugly) or Screen Protectors, but I'm more nervous about this phone being covered in glass that I'm going to take extra care of it.

My One S doesn't have a screen protector and I am very careful with it (Use same rules as above, its never with anything in pocket and has never been dropped) and It has Zero scratches

Still I get hairline scratches as well. Just comes with the territory I'm afraid.
 
I put a 16 gb in the cart and tried to enter my address to see how much the total cost would be, and the POS play store wouldn't save the address!!

Google's e-commerce implementation is f**king pathetic.
 
I am looking at Ghost-Armor at a mall nearby. How much do the charge for installation? For screen only and for full cover.

I had the exact opposite experience. I was really impressed by their checkout system. Quick, simple and easy.

I don't understand it. I look into my account and it has my address repeated 5 or 6 times, but when I go checkout, I have to put in the address, and it doesn't move forward.
 
As a iPhone 4S owner, I have been looking at the N4 to get the much larger screen so my video viewing and web browsing experiences would be easier on my eyes ... that said, would the N4 be considered an upgraded experience for me?

If that's all you're concerned with, sure.
 
Especially if you're trying to watch clips of your own - be they your creation or someone else's. One of the most satisfying aspects of Android for me is that I can watch just about everything that I have as long as performance is there. There are very good media players that will play everything that MPC-HC plays on PCs.
 
My buddy in Taiwan has been wanting one so when I saw the Engadget post yesterday morning, I grabbed one for him. The wait time concerns me as he has a cousin going to Taiwan on 2/20 but I'll be out of town 2/8-2/19. Hopefully it ships to me in 1.5 weeks?

Otherwise I'll just try to sell it.
 
I am dreaming this batch of shipment is of higher-quality than the previous batches.. I know for certain that my new Nexus 7 3G/HSPA+'s build quality is superior to my first Nexus 7 that I got on its launch date.

Different Manufacturer of Nexus 7 (Asus)

What changed? Just curious.
 
I was a little surprised mine shipped from Kentucky as I bought it on Google Play Canada and Google has a Toronto address on the Receipt.

It says it will arrive Tuesday Feb 5th for me. (Prob be Monday)

I hope there is no Custom/Duty fee's on this...... It was shipped "UPS World Saver" which appears like a duty included shipping method. Better be or Google is going to get some complaining from me!
 
Build quality. Different material of physical buttons that look more durable. No hint of suspicious loose ends. Bluetooth works flawlessly on the new one while my older one had terrible drop issues.

Besides which, the serial numbers begin with different monikers. The earlier one I've got started with C09xxxxxx (assume it's manufactured in Sep. 2012), and the new one's serial is (D10xxxxxx). And believe it or not, the new one feels faster and snappier for me.

So do the new ones solved the apparent S4pro CPU throttling problem? I wonder.
