Screen cracked after one week!!!

[JtothaR]

Dropped mine 4 feet onto the hardwood floor when drunk on NYE, no case, no crack.

Elsewhere in the terms, it is much more ambiguous, to the point of contradicting itself.

No matter, the OP is stupid for complaining, and it is incidents like this why I got the insurance on mine. If the OP tries this and gets caught I would laugh.

Having seen those terms, I don't think that specific issue is ambiguous. Do you have the other terms available out of curiosity?

well... you ARE on unemployment, apparently. so, technically, we ARE paying your bills.

so, if you're a man of your word, do as we say now.

thanks!

I might add that in my state and many others, the employer pays 100% of unemployment insurance premiums and the employee pays zero. When a claim is filed the employers premiums do go up as well. The I payed into it dog won't hunt.

So, I'm the kind of person that dislikes cases, and whatnot, because I like being able to see the whole phone, rather than something concealed by a case. But, after the ordeal I've gone through with a crack underneath the screen (that I don't *think* I caused, but I don't know for sure), and finally getting a new Nexus, I find myself very paranoid... Anyone know of any cases that offer a lot of protection, but don't make the phone look a lot bigger/ bulkier/ "ugly"?

Re-read my original post. I specifically said "..if you could get away with it.."

You yourself are projecting.. projecting that everyone is a saint and follows rules. I just happen to have insider knowledge that this is not the case. Insurance claims almost always have some sort of fraud involved. If you want specifics, I can PM.

On your left hand, you have a new phone from an insurance replacement company filed under a fraud claim..that you got away with. The right hand, has a new device you paid $300+tax for.. you seriously would choose your right hand? Amen to you, but not many others would.

I am not projecting that anyone is a saint. I simply have a fond distaste for people recommending and encouraging committing fraud. I'm sorry you have been unable to comprehend that very basic point.

Alot of people here are acting Holier than Thou.. if you all broke your brand new toy and it was an accident and didn't have insurance, you'd be coming up with an excuse to exchange it and have VZ eat the costs.

Verizon is worth something ridiculous like $300 billion. They care nothing for you.. they dont care if you're a good person, or a bad person. All they care about is nickle and diming you to death with stupid fee's and plan features. They lock stuff down and are generally here to take as much money as you'll give them, so why not try and get them to replace the phone?

Every single one of you here would do it if you felt you could get away with it.... I know I would.

I wouldn't. If I was foolish enough to not use a case or get insurance then well shame on me. But I guess those types of values aren't what they teach people these days.....

OtterBox Commuter. It adds a tad bit of bulk, but I love their look and they are, IMHO, the best quality out there.

Those ones disappeared right after taking pride in your work/doing every job to the best of your ability....

Consider a vertical pouch, like Sena makes. I've used Beyza and Fortte cases like this for every smartphone I've had. They look way better than the snap-on-the-back-and-sides units (I think most of those look terrible) and they cover the screen. You have to take the phone out of it every time you use it (it's a habit you develop, you stick the case in your pocket) is the difference. Only Sena has one now for the GN, but Beyza and Fortte will be on it pretty fast. You can customize the Fortte's I think.

Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking. Many people choose to do the wrong thing and I / we are not here to police or stop you. My father always did the right thing and I have tried to instill that in my kids. Now they have kids, when you can pass this type of logic from generation to generation well there you go.
While I am at it you should start your own cell phone company, invest billions, and promise shareholders a return on their investment and see how well the shoe fits on the other foot.

Interesting, I like this idea, if they actually protect the phone/ screen. Where can I find these?

I commend you for doing the right thing, honestly..

However, is integrity macing people waiting in line so you can buy stuff at a Wal-Mart? Is integrity fighting for frivilous items during holiday season? Is integrity stomping on a Wal-Mart worker while he laying bleeding to death while you rush to get the latest discounts? I'm ashamed to be an American when I read these stories.. people are more worried about plastic items than that of their fellow human.

American's with integrity are a dying breed my friend. You either have integrity and do the right thing and get walked on.. or you don't, and be the one walking on others.

It's sad but this seems like how America is now. We are turning into a country of "cover my own ass first"

Anways, off-topic and didn't mean to thread jack.

Well said.

Anyone know if the middle of the glass on the Gnex is as thick s the Nexus S? Lets try to figure out why the screen seems to be so sensitive on some peoples. We can preach morals and legal mumbo jumbo online all day long its not going to change someones mind.

 

[Confidentuno]

Just wanted to chime in here, long time reader 2nd time poster, just want to talk about a few things.

1) To the OP no offense but you broke your phone and that is something you will have to pay for, you can go back to your old and just wait till you can afford another nexus.

2) I still don't get why insurance on electronics isn't an automatic thing for people. Personally anything $200+ is a guaranteed warranty or insurance for me. I work in retail and have seen a lot of horror stories, the best way I look at is it is a protection of your money spent on the item more than the item itself.

3) For people justifying getting the insurance after the fact and saying he shouldn't feel bad because it's only hurting a "large faceless company" (Asurion, Verizon, Samsung, etc.) the days of the consumer being powerless against companies are long gone. With forums like these and information like the Hot Spot loophole all over the internet, companies are becoming targets just like consumers have been for years. So the little guy vs. big company needs to stop now.

Just my $0.02

That is all *grabs popcorn and continues to watch the moral battle*

dying breed? how so? a few stories you read or see on tv and you jump to this conclusion? if that's what you'd like to believe for your own peace of mind, then alright. but for you to just throw this out there as fact, that's a bit absurd.

and these holiday season stories of yours, it wasn't mob mentality. it was one person (or a small group of people) who acted that way. a small percentage.

i really don't think American integrity is disappearing. i think American ignorance is much more rampant, given by how much Americans use the news as their main source of information on current events. nowadays, there are very few news sources that are credible at all. sensationalism is the media's best bet. and. most ignorant Americans fall for it. of course news will only report the bad occurrences because they get more of a rise from viewers that way.

and integrity only disappears if weak minded people, sheep, let it die. they give up and say "hey. everyone is doing it...."

PREACH IT!! Amen to EVERYTHING you just said!! I'm quite proud to be an American. I fully believe all people are inheritantly good, and the VAST majority nurture and exhibit that good. Can't judge America based on the minority captured by the lens of the media.

Direct from the source--http://www.otterbox.com/. If you order now you can get another case for something else at 1/2 off. Great deal. Very personable too; I even got some stickers in my order. I haven't seen them pop up on another sites, so you may want to peruse Amazon and the like just in case.
