So I thought the gorrilla glass in these new phones are supposed to be top of the line? Or you would think since the front and back are both glass (correct me if I'm wrong).

Anyways the first time I drop my S7 I get a hair line crack about an inch long going right over my back botten.

I dropped my Note 4 (previous phone) over 100 times and the only thing that happened is i dent the metal frame a little bit.

Is it a pain to replace the screen yourself on S7 since the back is none removable?

Sorry about the crack but...over 100 times? Why do you think that happens so much?

Gorilla Glass is made to resist scratching, not dropping the phone.

I just came from the HTC ONE m8 which also had gorilla glass screen. The glass is made to resist scratching as was previously already noted. Dropping it will still Crack the glass, go get an otterbox or urban armor gear case. I bought the otterbox defender for my M8 and the few times it got dropped or knocked off something, it never had the slightest Crack or scratch.. I bought the OBOX commuter for my S7 it's very durable I didn't need the belt clip that comes with the defender...


Also maybe quit dropping your phone just a thought :D
