Cracked screen =/

[Arbietd21]

So I managed to drop my phone after trying my best to take care of it. It fell screen first on concrete sidewalk. It was inside my jacket pocket and I dropped my keys so I bent over to pick it up and the phone slipped out.. It's in the Samsung flip case but as it fell the case opened up and the screen got it. Nothing too terrible. A small crack at the top right corner where the edge is... Of course. Couple scratches on the screen, and side bezel. Display is perfectly fine, and it's not bad enough to warrant a $200 replacement with the att warranty. Anyone else experience any drops.

That's one of the reasons I don't put much stock in flip cases, unless they're like the Tech 21 Classic Shell Wallet for the Note 4. Ouch, my friend, that would bug the hell out of me.

To prevent the crack from spidering, and considering that there's nothing to see there, mix up a little epoxy (the cheap two tube liquid stuff you can get in auto supply stores) and wipe some of the micture into the crack with your finger - just enough to hold it together. Immediately wipe off any excess. Insurance for the screen for a couple of bucks.

It really is bothering me but not enough to drop 200 on a new one haha, just got make sure I'm extra careful.

I was thinking about that actually, thanks.

Yeah I have had 2 BAD drops since purchase. But the UAG case and the Invisishield screen protector keep my stupidity in check and my phone still looks brand new

I haven't dropped mine yet, but in case I do, I got coverage from Square Trade. $5 a month and only $75 deductible... Used them before, if they can't fix or replace, they send you a check for what it cost you.

Square Trade has the lower deductible because they don't cover theft or loss of phone. I went with Square Trade anyway because I am much more likely to drop my phone.

Mine slipped out of my sweat pants twice pre-case at the health club while sitting on a machine. They have rubberized flooring so no damage. My S3 never would fall out of my sweats but this phone is huge.

I bet you started considering a UAG case as it was in mid air!

Not to throw it in your face but I swear the same thing happened to me. Dropped my damn Edge on the sidewalk screen side down. Only thing that saved mine was my UAG case. I keep stressing, if you gonna put $1000 into a phone, why not protect it? Flip cases and rubber cases NO. URBAN ARMOR GEAR CASES FOR THIS PHONE. Not once but TWICE in the same day.

I agree 100% why spend the money we have and then buy a cheap case or screen protection

Some like to ogle and molest their phones so they want them naked. Cases and screen protection for me and mine though.

Same here, I am more likely to drop the phone, before having it lost. Stolen has a $500 deductible. I know, kind of pricey, but most folks don't realize that these types of cell phones are covered by most homeowners or auto insurance.

After paying $199 they send you a refurbished phone and you send the old one back. Square Trade would cost you $5 a month and have only a $75 deductible. But they have you send them the phone, they repair it, if it can't be repaired, they replace it. If they can't do that, they send you a check for the cost.

If it works perfectly and is in new condition be happy. A tech has QA'd the phone and that's a good thing.

You would be out of a phone for how long though?

Last time it took a week. But I always keep a cheap spare for a while. But to me saving the $124 on the deductible is worth it. I won't die without my phone. Since I keep a cheap one as a spare.
