Finally someone with a similar mindset as me. I never buy cases for my phones and the Galaxy S4 is no exception.
Galaxy phones are pretty durable and now with Samsung Warranty covering a broken screen or water damage. I don't think I'm ever getting my phone a case.

Samsung's warranty covers water damage and broken screens? Can someone link me?
It's only in the African Market at the moment. Yay for us finally!

re: S4 build quality, I was reading some stuff about people putting their phones into their front pockets, walking around, then taking the phone out and finding that the AMOLED screen (not the Gorilla Glass) had cracked. Does anybody know more about this?

ive only heard it here by one user. I have mine in my front pocket for over a month and I have no issues. I am pretty sure that whomever this happens to there are other facts left out, like skinny ass jeans, walking into wall, etc etc.
It's probably similar to the 'bending' iPhone thing a few months ago, a possible but unlikely outcome.
Make something tall and thin and your going to magnify the forces that the device is subject to.
The OLED layer has always been the most fragile part of the screen, that's why the gorilla glass bit is on the outside.
Gorilla glass is surprisingly flexible, the OLED bit is not. It's more like thin lab glass (think microscope slides only thinner).
I saw a video on how to replace the screen on an S4, and the OLED layer is less than paper thin, and extremely brittle. Maybe... some flex occurred at the top portion of the phone. That's all it would take.
I've been using S4 for almost a month, without case, just screen protector, always put it in my front pant's pocket, walk around a lot, and it's still look like new.re: S4 build quality, I was reading some stuff about people putting their phones into their front pockets, walking around, then taking the phone out and finding that the AMOLED screen (not the Gorilla Glass) had cracked.

Are there other uses for an IR controller than using a TV?
Oh yeah.. the google edition S4 is due tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see how much faster/responsive it is when all the Samsung bloat is gone, not to mention how much free space it'll have.
It will be interesting to see if they reformatted the GooS4 differently.
Odin wouldn't be smart enough to automatically fiddle with partitions if the new image has changed them, would it?
