What do you mean, the screen cracked?

This was dropped out of my pocket as I was getting out of the car... so not even from above waist height!

if you go to ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Teardown/9391/2 you can see it mentions the fact that the screen is a fused unit, will be very hard to get an "unofficial" one.

Looks like a sammy only repair job

Pictures posted. can you view them? just got that photobucket account as I am away from home right now.

I have dropped my old SGS2 and SGS from higher than this and I got a light scratch... this has made me loose ALL faith in the build quality.

How come the front and back got damaged at the same time /?????????????????????

Yeah been looking into getting it fixed. Around 3-400$ for the screen then plus the camera housing... may as well buy new phone. Hence the appeal for bricked devices on here...

Saying that, I dropped mine also getting out of the car... It didn't even scratch, just dented the plastic on the side of the screen.

The worrying thing is, the screen is exactly flush with the bezel and so is not protected at all when it falls - you might have been unlucky on how it landed!
