Question Does anyone crack their back glass once a week like I do?

[mustangtim49]

I've gotta ask, does anyone crack their rear glass constantly? It doesn't matter case, no case, I order a new back glass every Friday because I crack mine once a week. I'm not being rough or even dropping it. I still have my original screen and I've owned the phone almost a year!!! It's freakin ridiculous! I love the phone, but what's up with this paper mache' rear glass?

Hi you do something wrong I assume
Never cracked the backglas once
The spigen cover is well made and not too thick, dropped the phone several times nothing happened


Greetings

Ha...same as you. I'm pretty good handling my stuff but I have cracked mine 3 times. I always have a case on and it doesn't matter. I'm getting good at replacing it.

Aftermarket glass for most phones is just ordinary glass, thus quite easy to shatter. Either get a case or find original glass (salvaged from dead phone). Sometimes you can find even plastic aftermarket "glass" (makes phone lighter and back-shatter-free, but looks like meh).

I use spigen rugged case. I have never cracked any glass while spigen is on, any phone. Hundreds of drops across multiple devices. I finally cracked a 7TP5G screen when I took the case off to fit my Gamesir F4 Falcon triggers. They don't fit over cases. Instead of playing without a case again, I trimmed plastic out of the triggers to make it fit the phone with a case. So far I've been lucky. No breaks yet


What cases are you using? Are you getting new glass from OnePlus or aftermarket?

 

[more_than_hater]

I use bundled case, no cracks so far, 1 year and 2 months. Great case.

Ive got a Ringke case and ive used factory and aftermrket. Like i said, Ive never cracked the front, never dropped it for that matter, this happens in my front pocket, layingit on the table, its happened a bunch of different ways.

Using Supcase and never had any issues....

 

[AndyC76]

Using ringke x fusion case, never had an issue.

Which case are you using?

 

[mustangtim49]

Weird, since there is one other guy that experiences the same problem, I know its not just me. I guess we'll see if anyone else is experiencing it.

You use the factory seal?
Is the frame straight and level?
Any pressure points?

I've been an auto collision tech for 37 years, so fixing stuff is my thing. I've checked numerous times, it is straight and level. The glass comes as a single piece with the 2-sided tape already applied. It's not rocket science, razor blade to remove the old one, clean up any tape residue, line it up and lay it down. Hell, I've been replacing digitizers since eclair!

lol..eclair! I agree it's not like it's that difficult. I'm a little OCD so I know it's being but on straight.

well i have tried to be more careful with these phones since I know there is glass on the back etc. unlike the V20's we used to run. Those were pretty freakin rock solid with UAG cases on them and I've been a UAG bigot for years. But a review I saw on flimflamazon of a UAG case for the Oneplus 9 Pro showed the phone it was in cracked all to shizz from dropping it and a horror story to go along with, so I didn't bother with a UAG. Tried one other that looked heavy duty, a 2-piece snap together puzzle piece thing but it was a joke.

Ultimately settled on a Spigen Tough Armor. It is not a heavy as the UAG's I used to use but it works well and thus far, about 8 months into these phones, it has protected my phone well. Including a couple of drops. It also works with the OnePlus 50W Warp wireless charger, although I do sometimes "lose connection" (blinks red til you remove and replace) on mine. My wife's with same case doesn't ever do that on her Warp charger. *shrug*

EDIT PS: This case also works very well with the Whitestone tempered glass screen protector kit

I just got another replacement glass Friday, put it on yesterday, woke up this morning and by the time I was about to get on my motorcycle to leave for work my back glass was cracked AGAIN!

Had mine over a year and has not cracked yet even after dropping several times. But I do have it in a hard rubber case kinda thin one

Probably excessive frame flexing*. This doesn't seem to be a problem for most users (Google search it). Maybe a defect in the frame or replacement parts...

I never carry or place my N10+ in my front or rear pockets! I use the thigh cargo pocket in my bdu pants instead. No damage in over 3 years and it doesn't fall out. Vest pockets can work but more it's likely to fall out.

*it's also possible that something internally isn't fasten to specs. This includes the battery. Maybe missing adhesive pads, glue, screws... something.

Sounds like someone casted dark magic on your phone. Could be possessed too. Better call an exorcist.

I'm starting to think it's a temperature thing, like with the nexus 4. I didn't touch my phone all night, it pretty much cracked on its own. I do believe it's cracking in the same place, I'm gonna order like my 20th rear glass and really check out that area of the phone.
