I can truly sympathize with people who are worried about the possible "screen cracking without cause" but selling a phone because of the possibility of something going wrong with it is a little rash in my opinion. Every device out there have countless documented faults and each one of them have the possibility of failing one way or another. What's the point of selling one phone to buy another one that still runs the same risk of having problems sooner or later, albeit a different one.
I admit I am a brand loyalist and before my last phone, a Galaxy S3, all I've ever used are Nokias. I used Nokias for 13 years without fail going through at least 25 different models, some had minor issues, some were flawless. The streak stopped after I went through 2 Lumia 920's both of which were bought outright and both were defective out of the box. The first one would overheat to the point were it was uncomfortable to touch, the second one had creaking hardware issues, there were other countless issues other buyers encountered. I was a stupid early adopter and I couldn't handle spending anymore money for the sake of brand loyalty so I switched to the S3.
13 months later and I was hesitantly selling my S3 to upgrade to the Note 3 and sticking with Samsung, based on my very positive experience with the S3. Yes, there's always a possibility that my Note 3's screen might crack, or develop some other defect. But, at the very least it didn't -ship- with defects.
