My son woke me up in the morning i bent over to look at the time knocking my HD2 all of 2 foot onto my laminate flooring..... screen has completely shattered!! this is one fragile device. Thankfully its insured through Vodafone I took it into the store today, but there doubtfull it can be fixed as it also chipped a piece of casing off as well. Now I'm a bit concerned they have no stock of the HD2 . I'll be gutted if thats the case.
Another reason why I wont be having kids...
Hi, I rang Vodafone today and I think they have a few replacement unitsleft, as they said they'd bee shipping me out one in the next few days... see my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611939
I hope its actually a HD2 they are shipping me and not another phone, fingers crossed!!
The direct replacement number they gave me was 08448540430 but I'm not sure if thats the right one for insurance but you can try it. Let me know how you get on
Sounds promising, thanks! If I get another i'll be wrapping it in cotton wool...

This is quite worrying. I mean sure dropping a phone would not be considered "normal use" but surely it should have been taken into account when designing the unit that phones do get dropped?
My Touch Pro has hit the deck on more than one occassion and it's unscathed!! I'm not the careless type either, I look after my tech but these things happen. It's worrying that a 2ft drop onto laminate could cause the screen to completely shatter.
Strange, dropped mine 6 feet onto a tile floor yesterday, i was like nooooooooooooo!, picked it up, still perfect, must have been lucky.

Your Touch Pro also happens to have a plastic screen. Sounds stupid comparing it to a thin glass screen, doesn't it? You make it sounds like it's the coming of the apocalypse because the HD2 is the first of its kind to have screen cracked when dropped. Take a look at iphones, droids, hero, etc...
People here freaked out because it's probably the first capacitive screen they've owned and continue using it like it's plastic like past HTC phones. Be extra careful. Period.
You were extremely fortunate, either that or I was extremely unfortunate. Ive been reading about the HD2 apparently theres alot of internal stress so although the screen is pretty much scratch proof its not so good on when struck. Very annoying as Ive been very protective of this phone
its actually pretty tough

I'm not saying your wrong, but things like "drops" should be taken into account at the design stage of a device such as a phone.
Your car keys are not meant to be dropped, but they'd survive wouldnt they? A mobile phone, by it's very nature, is prone to a drop or two over it's lifetime...
Your reply is very condescending and poorly thought out.
Seems like the phone is a bit like an egg. Squeeze an egg from the top and it won't break. Squeeze from the middle however...! So some drop the phone and it shocks the "middle" while others drop it and it shocks the "top". Some are lucky, some are not. Hey ho, them's the breaks! (No pun intended)

I recall at list 7 users in this forum having broken screen and so on, so it seems to be taken in consideration >> a hard protector box be highly recommended.

Seriously. I let it drop like every god damned day from the 24th to the 1rst, and it's still pristine. no scratches. I even let it drop from my height (6 feet 2) while drunk and playing with a girl who tried to snap it out of my hands, my heart skipped a beat, but when I took it up, again, no scratches. I was like, God exists!
But neverthless, I ordered three different cases. I don't want to run out of luck.
Dropped mine from 1,5 meter on a stone floor, nothing happend....
Thank god!
I've dropped my HD2 more than 6 times already (usually from holding height, so about 4 feet) sometimes with the leather case sometimes without. It is still in perfect condition. Come to think about it, it think it always landed on the ends so that may prove the egg theory. I do not have it insured so I'm not gonna go prove that theory just yet
It really must depend the way it lands, but trust me 2 foot (bedside cabinet height) was enough to write off my new love lol. Or maybe someone didnt build mine and the other poor bast*rds phones right... maybe forgot to do up a few screws haha, but anyway all I'll say is be damned careful and take out that insurance it really is worth it.

Condescending? Poorly thought out? Like how you're comparing dropping your brick of a phone with plastic screen to a thin one with GLASS screen? LOL. I'm not even going to vilify that judging by your lack of common sense and logic.
Of course it's taken into account during the construction of the phone. Some people enjoy the finer things in life, and that means sacrificing some structural integrity for form factor. I'm sure being as naive as you are, you probably didn't think about that. You see, Syphon, the HD2 is like a Ferrari F430 comparing to your Civic of a Touch Pro. It has carbon fiber exterior mated with 490 ponies strapped to the back, and like any other cars out there, it has been crash-tested. It's expensive because of lightweight material, because of exquisite engine design, and because of engineering. All this to ensure that the driver gets the most thrill and satisfaction out of driving it. These cars are well maintained and pampered due to the common sense that these owners have and to be able to understand that these toys are expensive and you'd take the utmost precaution to enjoy them. Now the majority of the people who own these cars are smart, successful people who take pride in taking care of their valuables...the kind of stuff that you lack.
Your Civic, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen...and are the stuff that junkyards are made of. They're cheap, easily to get thrown around and can be easily fixed. The fact of the matter is, your civic is nothing more but a rolling scrap metal that attracts door dings, bird poo, and a variety of things that happen to a car with as much of a presence as a piece of rock. In case you're still clueless, your touch pro should never be compared to an HD2. It's a giant slab of plastic that doubles as a door stop.
Now, I was going to stop but you made another grand of a post. In case you haven't noticed, most car key FOBs are PLASTIC. Yep. Quite a shocker huh? You know what else is a shocker? It doesn't have a screen. All it is, is a small PCB board with a round battery attached to it. Though I wouldnt expect you to understand that based on your inane inability to understand what plastic is and what glass is. I suggest having a running start and smashing your head through your car window so you'll know what the difference is.
....I should aso tell you to put on a helmet to protect that smart brain of yours.
I had an accident on my bike today... got bumped from behind by a car while going at 50 or so and lost control of the bike. Got saved by my helmet, rolling away and this fancy biking jacket my brother got me (think it has kevlar in it) but my bag flipped open and my Note went flying.
So I'm okay and thankful for that. But my Note hit the ground hard and split open... It's got two deep scratches on the glass (about 2mm long each) and a few lighter ones, plus a big scrape on the plastic casing at the bottom. This sucks so much .
Do you guys know if I could give it to Samsung to replace the glass? Will that be expensive? My phone's working fine but every time I look at it, those scratches almost physically hurt.
Its the first time I've ought such an expensive phone. Can't bear to see it like this...
Don't know about fixing the note but glad you are okay!

I pay 36 norwegian kroner/month (about 7 USD) in insurance, so I am covered if my GNote get stolen or smashed in an accident like this.

You should be happy your not injured as it could have been worse, especially when your on a bike, as for the phone...if you don't like it how it looks try and contact Samsung or take it to where you bought it from and ask how much it would cost to fix ...i'd pay £100 for it if it came to that for a phone worth so much.

I don't know where you are physically located, but in the UK, I'd expect the car driver's insurance to pay for repairs to your note (assuming you were not at fault of course!). Failing that, your household contents insurance might cover it.

Dave

What the hell dude? The retailers always ask you to insure the device when you buy it for a small one time only amount. I had my galaxy s2 insured. Didn't bother with the note though. Did you manage to get the plate number of the car? And yeah, hope you recover fast, physically and psychologically...

It's called "an accident" for a reason.
Sorry about your accident bro! All that matters is that you are ok. Last month i've changed my screen under warranty (screen issues, lines etc) and a saw that the glass is glued to the amoled, it's one big sandwich, it comes with the front facing camera, home button, speaker and the screen plastic bezel. The screen with all the parts is around 300$.
Good luck!

Hi All,
Haven't broken a screen in 4 years -first week with a bigger device slipped out of my hand when going into my pocket and the screen cracked. Weak as **** in my opinion but what are you going to do.
I contacted googlefi about nexus protect. They said they are going to be rolling out their own protection plan but could not tell me a launch date. Does anyone know anything about this?
I really can't believe this phone is that weak..

It must have hit just right. The other night I was reading in bed and nodded off for a second while holding the 6p. It hit the side table, then the hardwood floor. I'm not using a case, just a Skinomi full body and screen Tech Skin, but there wasn't a scratch. (phew!) As far as Fi offering protection, I gave up on that route and bought a Square Trade warranty instead.
Yes! Horrible phone because the OP doesn't handle it properly. Shame on Gorilla Glass and Huawei! /s

It did hit on the corner, the aluminum bezel bent right in which caused the glass to break - I have read many threads about the phone bending, I am a bit disappointed, I went with the 6p for the aluminum over plastic however this has only seemed to hurt me rather than help. Google told me their pricing options $5 / month and a $99 deductible however no idea when the plan was rolling out. They did advise I was eligible for when it comes out so now I guess I just have to wait. Phone works fine, just bothers me, I like my devices clean.

Wow, someone is a bit full of themselves aren't they? Correct, I do believe that a phone SHOULD NOT break with one drop from pocket height, I've owned countless smart phones in the past 4 years, none of which I broke the screen in that time; while I do not drop my device often and I take care of them mistakes happen. (My galaxy S4 still looks brand new). Therefore I am critiquing the build quality of this phone.

I'm not really sure what your point is, or why you are trolling. You are of no help to my thread. As I said mistakes happen, I made one, and dropped my phone. I'm not saying it is anyone's fault other than mine. I did however state I was DISAPPOINTED in the build quality as I do not believe one drop should crack a screen, especially from pocket height.
Just because someone doesn't agree with your opinions does not make them a troll. That word is thrown around WAY too many times around the here. I am not arguing with you, bud. But your bad luck doesn't mean that the phone is faulty. Glass shatters at different rates depending on speed, force, and angle. All of these phones you dropped did not drop at the same rate for these variables each time you dropped them. When the anger subsides, (and yes I get mad at myself also when i break something...human nature), just be an adult about it and chalk it up to a bad accident. Unless of course you are younger than an adult. In that case, I apologize and carry on

One drop on the corner will break a screen.
I have seen iPhones, Android of various brands break from pocket height.
All you need it the right location, angle, etc.
There is nothing wrong with the phone, you dropped it and it broke.
You can get it replaced right now. Project Fi offering one time replacements for $100 bucks
Problem Solved -
Bought my phone with AMEX they have 90 day protection against broken devices. I can file a claim with them and they will refund my purchase price.
Glad it worked out well for you...
Case comes in Saturday....slipped off my lap getting out of car and this happened.
OMG. T.T I'm sooooo sorry. Yeah, this is the exact reason I bought cases before getting my phone. I can relate to having to wait to get a case, as that's what happened with both my S3 and S6. Was paranoid AF that I'd drop the phone and damage it.
Got lucky that nothing happened before I got the cases, though in the case of my S6, the guy I bought it from included one, which he didn't mention that he'd include one, so that was a nice surprise when I got the phone. But, since then, I definitely made sure I was prepared so I'd have something Day 1 of getting my S8+.
Is there anything you can do about it or... do you just have to live with a broken back?
Thanks. I'm going to switch out the back glass this weekend hopefully. Can't do anything about the scuffs on the plastic, but better than nothing
True, true. Until then, just be careful that you don't cut yourself on the glass. Just curious, how high was the drop? Crazy that it cracked so easily. Then again... it IS glass...
Literally 2.5 feet. Im kinda dissapointed:/
I already have two cases and a screen protector, i pick up my phone tomorrow.
Sorry this happened to you
it was my own carelessness not paying attention and lack of getting a case in time... altho i honestly didnt think id recieve the phone on the 19th either.
That's why I was using my s5 outdoor till I get my spigen case :crying: I'm sorry for your loss :crying:

My wife drop her note 7 (second recall device) 10mins after walking out the store. Only crack the bad. I did a claim for it paid the $175 got a new one the next day and then 3 days later oh note 7 recalled again.
But me myself i like to have cases and screen protectors day one
I bought on 24.04 a Galaxy s8 plus midnight black and a led cover for it after exactly 18 hrs i dropped the phone and it litterally "jumped" from the case when touching the ground and the screen got broken so i don't recommend led cover as a protection i will attach a few pictures of it
(I dropped from half a meter)
Btw i sold the phone for half price and today i will buy another one
Sorry to hear that! Glad you were able to at least salvage half the cost.
Just so we can all learn from your mistake, how did you drop the phone? I find it helpful to make a mental catalog of specific ways a phone can fall, so I can take care to avoid them.

Get the Spigen ultra hybrid case with air cushion technology. . Had one on my s6 edge plus for nearly two years. Never a crack after all the drops when working.
My galaxy s8+ fell two times, first time from pocket height, 2nd time from my night stand. The back is all broken. Damn you Samsung. I love the design but this is just ridiculous. I've never used a protector for my Nexus 6p, it must have fallen over 25 times in the 2 years I've owned it and only some minor scratches.
Be warned, this is not a phone to use without protection.

You're overgeneralizing. It really depends on the individual. I drop my phone much less than once a year, and have never used a protector or broken a phone.
If I had the habit of dropping it more than once a year, I'd probably get a case. If I dropped it as often as you do, I'd probably swathe it in bubble wrap.

One would expect that the backside is just as strong (or weak) as the front side. Unfortunately that is not the case. The backside cracks easily. But apparently it's not an expensive part to replace.

I've never used a protector for my Nexus 6p, it must have fallen over 25 times in the 2 years I've owned it and only some minor scratches.
Be warned, this is not a phone to use without protection.

You should always and also use good screen guard.. Front glass should be more protected always
I always use phones without covers because It feels good when there is no covers
