Hello guys,

I have had my SE for a month now and I would like your take on the durability of my SE and give a rating out of 10. It has undergone one drop on a computer desk, so i would also like you to see if you can find any scratches.

If you can't see the scratches, see if you can find them below:

I dropped it once face down on a computer desk so I got bit worried that I may have ruined the strength of the glass and made it more prone to cracking, there ARE scratches, they are just extremely faint, you can only see them in the last pic if you look pretty hard (the camera I took these pics is not good sorry)

As I told you the other day in your other thread, the SE is based off the 5 and the 5 was pretty tough.

A drop face down from chest height onto concrete and rock and then a subsequent accidental kick which sent it skidding on it's face did not break the screen. And again, that was one of several drops.

You have nothing to worry about.

First thing i bought my wife for her SE was gorilla glass protecter!
On top of a screen already made of Gorilla Glass? Double protection! :D
 
As far as durability of cellphones, I would rate the SE pretty high, maybe an 8 or so. However, any drop of a cellphone onto a hard surface from any height is a crap shoot!

Drop 3 foot to asphalt. Still no case though, not that noticeable at normal distance, wish they sell a replacement band for it.
