Shattered screen-FYI

[b14ckd34th]

So I pretty much shattered the front glass as I was getting out of my car my phone swung under my leg in my pocket and as I exited my car I put my weight down on the phone and a spring in the car seat. I wanted to cry.... SOOOOO, I called Asurion they want a $175 deductible, so I thought I would investigate and see if one of these cell phone repair places can get it any cheaper..FAT CHANCE. First off I was warned that if I let them fix it they would damage the housing beyond repair and they wanted $329 for the screen.


tldr; get a case and screen protector for this brilliant phone

No thanks.

That's a shame. Having read about other experience with shattered screens and camera lenses I was a little worried. Then my son drove over his (on a dirt road but still...) He dented the case a little and got a slight scratch on the screen... that was it.... Maybe it depends on the angle of the impact as to if they break or not. He did NOT have any protective case around it making it even more bizarre... but I still believe in them.

Good luck with it.

HTC does screen repairs for 180 USD and it will come back as if the screen never broke.

I absolutely agree with OP. Get a good case for this phone. I've already broken digitizer in my phone because i forgot to buy a case.
Unfortunatelly anodized aluminum isn't grip friendly

Sorry for your loss , I bought the case below from Amazon UK for £6.99, and it is immensely tough, the part that covers the screen is padded and i can hardly bend it, it`s so strong.

I have the glamour red version so a case would make having this colour pointless. No case for me, just a good screen protector.

I refuse to get cases for HTC and iPhones since they have beautiful designs and are made of nice materials. Now, Samsung phones are a different story

I have kids. They don't play with my phone as it is not a toy.

I can understand that. I only let her play under my supervision and with my permission. And only locked to her kid games. Once she is somewhere else or grabs it without telling me its gone. I'm not lax about it because I'm making payments on it. I agree with you there.

i dont let them touch my phone because "its for work"

so i give them my "wifes phone" instead lol

I didn't say they don't play with electronics. I said they don't play with my phone. I paid nearly $600 and do not intend on needing to send it off for repair when the inevitable happens.

My boys have a shared line on my account and use it to call and text family regularly. They also play games, search the web, watch videos and what not on their Amaze, my wife's extra tablet or her One S. Hell, I even let them use my GS3 occasionally as it is mainly a work email device.

They have also broken a G2 and a Kindle Fire and put dings and scratches on every device I listed above.

I still stand by what I said. My One is not a toy. Hand me downs are one thing but I understand that the chance of an accident is much higher with children and I choose to mitigate any risk.
