Galaxy s8 plus Broken

[Laurentiu27]

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.

Typically phones fall because you are careless. Don't be careless and it will not be a problem.

Except that there are thousands of ways to be careless, and if you want to avoid them it helps to know what they are.

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.

I can't believe people would expect this all glass curved edge phone would survive any sort of drop...? Yawn!

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.

I've dropped the S8+ twice, both times the screen shattered. It is the most fragile item I have ever owned.

are u serious? how far distance did u dropped it? 1 meter?

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.

One way to remember. You're carrying an almost $1k piece of glass enclosed with your life and access to the world.

Viva la plastique phones.

Thats pretty funny my nexus 6p still works also fell out of my jacket pocket(stupid mistake forgot to take it out) while riding my motorcycle. Doing 50mph and getting run over at least a few times in surprised it wasn't completely destroyed.

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
