Phone back from Samsung after repair and looks AMAZING

[Lepa79]

OP dropped his phone on concrete with a more "protective" case on. My guess would be the thin fit wouldn't care any better.

Yep, and the same case back on.

Good to hear!

If you're a person who doesn't like cases, I'd recommend the Spigen Thin Fit. I dropped my Note 8 on to the floor at home awhile back, and thanks to this case it didn't suffer so much as a single scratch. I wouldn't recommend this if you're going hiking or to a concert or anything. But for home and office it's remarkably effective, and barely noticeable.

Link of my case in the original thread. Phone dropped face down and just went flat without on single bounce. It was simply the worst possible fall scenario. I've had so many Phones for so many years and this is the 1st time I break one

Didn't even think to check that. Yep, same IMEI number so it is the same phone. Wow, I am impressed. Looks like Samsung replaced back, front screen, and sides of the phone. Amazing work. It literary looks brand new!!!!

I am beyond satisfied how this turned out. If anyone looking to repair their Note 8, send it to Samsung without any hesitation. I sure glad I did.

How long were you without it?

they would have replaced the battery as well as it is not deemed safe to reuse after being subject to the heat needed to take the phone apart, just another plus

About couple weeks ago I was fortunate enough to get my screen busted. Check it out here https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=836107

I ended up sending the phone to Samsung for repair and my Note 8 is back today. It looks AMAZING. I don't even think it's the same phone lol.

This one came all wrapped and even has the 4g Qualcomm sticker at the top frame. I had a dbrand skin on the back and that's not on the phone I got back. I don't care what samsung did but all I care about is that this phone looks brand new. Very happy with the quality of service by samsung. NICE WORK.

Now, I just need to figure out how to put armor around this phone lol.

Glad to hear that! Your beast is back!

Phone fell out of my pocket onto my wood flooring approximately 3.5 feet. Shattered. No insurance, since I've never broken a phone before. Little did I know how sensitive these infinity screens are nowadays.

I'm lucking enough to live near Samsung's 837 store in the Meatpacking District. I brought it there for repair the next day and to my surprise they only charged me $199 plus tax. I was quoted $292 when I originally called support. My receipt clearly says it was an out of warranty repair. I bought the phone about 35 days ago. Regardless, I was told they had to change the battery as well (I guess they damaged it during the glue removal process?) They definitely did replace the battery because battery monitor clearly shows it was turned off at ~80% and turned on at 15% about two hours later. The new battery wasn't listed on my receipt. They clearly also replaced the midframe since I had a thin green line of stickers on the midframe and a Qualcomm sticker that I had taken off originally. Very happy with the outcome. I probably would have paid more if I bought insurance.

I immediately bought the Tough armor spigen case instead of the slim useless one I was using.

I'm not also looking for a good screen protector if anyone has any suggestions. The Whitestone Dome looks overwhelming but it seems that's the best option?

What case were you using?

Does it have the same IMEI number?

Hasn't answered this question yet....just out of interest??

 

[mele4nyc]

Spigen Thin Fit.

Additionally, my IMEI is still the same. But again, I went to the Samsung store and had it repair in approximately 2.5 hours.
