I'm not even sure how it happened, as I only noticed it when I turned it off to clean the screen. Yes, I dropped it several times but none were more than waist level. I inspected it after being dropped and didn't see any visible damage. It appear to have cracked by striking the stainless steel edge of the phone. I guess I'm glad I bought the insurance so I am only out $175 to replace the phone. Wasn't going to get a case, because of the reports the fingerprint reader won't work without touch the metal edge, but I have 2 on order, now
Follow up: bought a gel case to protect the metal edge and was surprised to find that the fingerprint reader still works
