ive never seen plastic shatter like that. lol. not as dramatic.
Hopefully you had insurance.

Yeah it sucks. I have insurance, but i'm guessing because the phone is so new, I made a claim but I have to fax them information and do all this extra stuff. I never had to do this when I made a claim with the TP2.
Ouch, I'm known to do that sometimes leave me phone on my lap and get up out the car. Luckily I normally have some full body protection and a screen guard on my phone.
Looks like it still works though.
yeah I have a screen protector coming, will get here today (a bit too late lol). I am looking for a case, im picky when it comes to those. Not much out right now other than a limited ebay picking and the one from verizon. Which I just now found out they make in a clear color, looks like I will have one for my replacement...
I have the body glove and zagg screen, and as sad as this is to say I have actually drooped mine twice and you can't even tell. It still looks fresh outta the box. Good luck with the replacement to from what I've heard VZW is still sold out.

sorry to say, but i dont think ur the first casualty.
also insurance ftw.
I bought the silicone cover from Verizon, I have not dropped my phone yet hopefully it protects the phone if I drop it.
Hopefully Otterbox will make one for this phone like the one for the iphone.
dropped my x10 and nothing happened. wouldn't wanna try it with my incredible now

I am soooooo annoyed!! Waited almost 3 months for this stupid phone to come into stock and after 2 days, i had to accidentally drop it and it has such huge scratches on the paint work. :evil: I had the sony ericsson K750i and motorola V3 for a year... dropped it numerous times and it hardly has any scratches. Why does HTC make suck crap quality phones????
Is there a way to change the front fascia as thats the part with scratches.
hmm how did u scratch it? i keep mine in my pocket and havent dropped it once or scratched it..
Sorry to hear that mate - gutted is the word

Are you sure you can't talk to place you got it from and get a replacement?
Where abouts are u in the world? If you are in the uk one guy got his cracked screen fixed in wimbledon - maybe they do other parts see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51395
Possible you could disassemble and spray paint - see guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43381
Hope you get it sorted.
Was sleepy... played with the phone after dinner... took it out of the silly tight case with my BUTTER fingers and it slipped and fell to the stone floor.
Its a t-mobile phone I just got 2 days ago from scancom. How do I get them or t-mobile to replace it? Based in leicester. London's a bit far to get this thing fixed.

Ditch that case nearly did the same thing myself - use 2 other cases now.
I would speak nicely to scancom they may be kind and replace it as it's only 2 days (blame the stupid case they supplied that may work!)
Are you sure you have no insurance? I always get mine insured £5/month but comes included with some contracts.
which retailer would replace a brand new set for me because I dropped it? I'm not sure scancom would be that nice. Insurance may be an idea but the excess is £25 and i'm not sure if its really worth it.
anyone managed to get a retailer to replace their scratched handset based on a tight case?
i dropped mine when inside its case when i got out of a car, but it only got very light scratches on 2 corners
Have a look on ebay at Krusell cases. They look like they completely surround the phone with a flipped panel for the screen. thinking of getting one myself.
Might be wise to look at screen protectors too.
for the screen protectors i bought the boxwave antiglare
Well i'm planning to buy this phone and i'm a bit scared of the plastic build
for me to be convinced ..there is nothing more trustworthy than user-experience !
so .. who dropped the galaxy .. where/how & did it effect it ?
check this out, it will answer your question:

Plastic, due to being flexible, is a MUCH better shock absorbant than super-hardened glass.
Best case scenario for a drop would be a flat-drop on the back.
Plastic used in galaxy s is so flexible that almost every drop is harmless.

WOW our phone is amazing! it can survive all that
finding a replacement screen is easy
incredible, as long as you don't drop it from over 1.5m high, you've got nothing to worry about
I didn't drop mine but I fell down with it in my pocket and now I have a cracked lens glass on the back of the phone.
I guess the lens glass isn't as strong as the plastic back!

I launched mine on a granite floor.was trying to apply a screen protector and for some reason it just flew out my hand.The back and battery ended up about 3 foot away from the rest of the phone but when i put it back together there wernt a scratch on it,and everything worked fine.
Every time I get a new gadget I go through a period where I'm terrified (well, at least worried) that I am going to drop it and damage it. No difference here. I have tried to be so freaking careful - then the other day at work as I was getting back into my car to run an errand (work related) I pulled it out of my pocket and inadvertantly threw the darn thing into a plastic/metal box on my passenger seat. I do not know how it happened. My heart just sank. Yet it appears to have come out of this minor incident with nary a scratch or sign of injury. Relieved.
I believe that it is fairly durable... thankfully.

Why not just use a case?
I think a case is always a good idea. But sometimes I just like to enjoy my gadget(s) unencumbered.
El Mono
Dropped mine three times before I decided this phone is too slippery to use without a good case.

the most noticable damange are around the slivery chrome on the side of the phone. Other than that are minor scratches around the front and the back. The screen was protected with a screen protectors from day one, so it remain scratch free.
Edited:
The case is ugly as hell, I know. but hey, whatever works right?
Wow it's pretty foolproof! but i won't try to drop it and i always cary it with me in a pullup case!
Does anyone remember the incredible before it was released and had the red back cover instead of the black?? Has anyone seen one for sale?

That is really cool but it's up to $32.00 + $7.00 shipping now with 14 bids and 3 days 7 hours left to go!
I would love to have one but for a battery cover that's to pricey for me

Only an idiot would pay that price for a real red back.

now it's up to $63.37 with 22 bids!

That is ridiculous
It's certainly not...around $50 for a rare pre-production accessory on a popular phone? Sounds reasonable to me...
It's all about personal preference, it is rare, it should be kept and not used due to rarity, now, if your looking for just the red back door, take yours off, and paint it.
I'd pay $50 for the door, and use it!
Sold for over $100... lol
Wow I got mine for $19.95
Uh...where?
Well I got it (not the one from ebay, but he had another I made a separate deal for), and it was totally worth it:

When did they start with this box? It's adorable.
Awesome stuff
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
I got same replacement box in October.
I also got the same box with my swap but my swap was defective right out of the box (contant reboots). I sent back the swap and did a little art work of my own. I had a red saw mark across the thumb with red spray coming out everywhere (blood) and a big red "NOT" in from of all good. I'm sure the guys that received it got a good laugh out of it. Wish I had taken a picture.
Cool box. Would be cooler if it had a N2 in it made by HTC
Why does that remind me of this?
Oh, and another interesting thing, I sent it in completely stock 2.2.1 with the 4.06 radio and got it back with the 5.08, looks like they're upgrading them at the factory now.

You'd be incorrect.
I sent mine out a month ago due to random rebooted and it came back in a box just like yours but instead of the thumb it had a ribbon drawn on with a drawn on label that said 'im back.' Inside the box was my phone wrapped in a microfiber cloth with a card that said 'im happy to be back in your hands.' I thought it was a very clever touch that shows a lot of heart at HTC. My service was incredible all around.

That's how it arrived. Great job, FedEx. Luckily the precious content was unharmed.
I do have to agree on the "cute" and "adorable" descriptions
Bah, when I got mine back from HTC UK, it was in a plain padded box.
So... I don't know why this is happening, but one thing I am noticing from numerous review or information sites is that some are mentioning the metallic grey backing being, well, metal. Therefore, sacrificing a tiny bit of weight for feel and sturdiness.
Is this true? If so, anyone know the difference in weight? I don't mind a little extra heft for more peace of mind.
This is the one I ordered... It looks like it's got the metallic back.

Tiger Direct apparently. I'm actually going to have to return my Amazon one when the Newegg one arrives. I have to use the $500 credit they're giving me.
Yep TigerDirect. It may have been sent on accident. It was probably already packed and set to the side to go out on friday, and someone kicked it over to the today pile.
So... what do you think?! Worthy investment? Any gripes?!
So far.. Worth every penny.
