Dropped Phone

[GrazzHoppa]

My brother-in-law dropped his Incredible yesterday. Landed right on the corner and the screen shattered. It still worked though despite the cracks....maybe a case is in order...https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ource=vb_ac&utm_medium=content&token=xATgHtQ6

Ouch!!!

Damn. I wouldn't have cried, but would have gotten a little misty.

that's why insurance is a MUST HAVE! Hey the 80 dollars is a lot better then 600

I did the same to mine.... still works till I get my replacement

my sack tightened

my sack tightened

lol you and me both..i looked down at mine and wanted to give her a hug and assure her it will never be like that

Mine fell off my lap onto concrete by my pool, thanks to the red Verizon snap on hard case it only resulted in a few minor marks on the case itself. No damage to the device itself. However it will be the first and last time this thing gets dropped ever again!

Man... Mental note to get a case made...

...And I think I'll listen this time. After seeing... That.

Ouch, I'll definitely have to be more careful with mine. I've already dropped it twice: once at work onto a carpeted floor and once on a sidewalk /facepalm. Fortunately it survived both falls unscathed.

I've only dropped mine once on a tile floor. Didn't even scratch it. That must have taken one heck of a fall!

 

[bigk]

NOOOOOO We must now call the google over lord for a replacement.

Insurance is a must in my opinion. I've had to use them on my LG Voyager and they sent me one over night.

The only thing I don't like about insurance is that there fine print says if they possiblely can't get the same phone, they will try and ship some thing equivalent to your old phone.

Im not gonna lie, I cried looking at that picture. And I though my measly little one foot drop with a case on was bad. I would have went on a rampage after this.

Damn. I wouldn't have cried, but would have gotten a little misty.

I would have cried. But not in front of anybody.

 

[FramCire]

I got a case that I will get tomorrow (even with the phone not scheduled to arrive for 2 more weeks).

Quick question: If you take the $7.99/mo insurance, do you get full replacement if you drop it/mess it up by accident?

I would have cried. But not in front of anybody.

LOL same. I fumbled picking up my baby from a high chest of drawers in the garage... luckily I was able to do some contortionist / Pel? soccer move and get my foot under it to break it's fall!

I dropped mine yesterday from waist high to the sidewalk, after it slipped out of my hand putting it in the holster on my belt. It landed on its corner and flopped to the ground. Fortunately, it was in a case that came with the holster that I got at the Verizon store. Not a scratch! Little did I know what a great investment that in-store case was!

 

[jencreel936]

Mine looks just like that. I dropped it yesterday and it was in the case with the clip that I got from Verizon with a screen protector on it. It shattered. I have insurance but they are saying it will be at least a week before they get one and I called Verizon and they are saying at least three. This really sucks!

Even though we're all responsible for buying cases/silicone skins/whatever, I would have preferred to see HTC do a better job of reinforcing the glass on these Incs.

That is one depressing pic, and it's not the first we've seen like this.
