First cracked S7 Edge!!

[EvanWasHere]

A friend of a friend cracked his phone already.

It dropped out of his pocket when he sat down at a table. Fell about 2 feet onto a cement floor. Seems to have hit the corner.

What sucks even more.. is that his case for his phone arrived a few hours later.

I'm the poor soul who cracked his phone. I sadly didn't feel it sliding until it was too late. I'm now waiting to see what T-Mobile can do since the phone just freaking shipped for some.

Moral of the story don't buy a Samsung doh. Lol sorry Samsung police had to take a joke. That royally socks!!

 

[Biker1]

That sux. Great promo ad for Samsung's durability lol!
I didn't know these Samsungs crack so easily after seeing some video drop tests where the S6 Edge did pretty good. I guess it depends where they hit. Something about a phone sandwiched between 2 sides of glass makes me wonder though.

T-Mobile is back ordered and Assurant wont have stock for a few weeks. The two Samsung reps weren't much help. They didn't know what the cost would be or how long they'd need it.

Make sure you keep these phones in a case, lol.

Ouch, just stick it in a case and never take it out, and pretend its not waterproof anymore.
Its like holding a stick of butter.

I guess gorilla glass 5 is no stronger the the 1st 4. Probably the same glass they just add a number every new phone cycle. I think they all scratch at 9h anyway and obviously a drop is outta the question

Has Gorilla Glass 5 even been released yet? If so, Corning doesn't know it.

I wasn't going to use a case. I just changed my mind.

Gorilla glass 4 not 5.
Also gorilla glass can't make glass into metal, it can only harden it a bit (usually against scratches) dropping it on concrete still will shatter it (incidentally it would have scratched and bent metal most likely).

I don't like glass on the backs of phones, but it's better then metal for some things (wireless charging). I prefer high quality plastic but the market says it's not 'premium' enough, so we get glass or metal.
