Why no bumper? I dropped mine just twenty hours after purchase on my way to get a bumper and cracked the screen. The screen doesn't have sufficient protection from the bezel. I don't even think the bezel is metal.

you think so ?? I went to best buy they told me I have to wait 2-3 weeks to get a new one -.- no way I want to wait 2-3 weeks since its back order and they don't give me a replacement I have to give this one in , where can I get a new glass or call Samsung ?

Curious if it has a case and did it fall on concrete. Bad luck that it happened

Ah, that sucks man!
Mine is still holding up fine. I'm considering buying like some sort of liquid glass and applying it over mine, since it's so small, perhaps filling it in and hiding it. I really can't see mine at all unless I'm looking so I'm trying to avoid making a drastic decision.

no case just like that and 177.56 to get a new one off Samsung.

Here is a link to a video. It doesn't really look all that difficult. Just need to be careful.
EDIT: I watched a vid last week where a guy replaced just the glass. Used a heat gun to remove it from the digitizer.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30227964&postcount=9

Dropped my phone for the first time and look what happened. Only from about two feet off the ground.

My thin elago case literally flew off, lucky for me I only slightly screwed up the screen protector and scuffed one of the corners. Going to invest in a big tpu case...

I feel bad for all of you who've broken your phone, but at the same time some of you are the same one's who give me crap about putting an otterbox defender on mine and ruining the looks. I've dropped mine twice now, once getting out of my truck (approx. 4 ft) and the other at waist level. Both times zero damage, my case is a little scuffed but that's it. It's worth it to me to "ruin" the looks and not break my phone, even with a warranty you still have to pay money and wait for the new one.

Lol, last week my dumbass somehow slapped my phone out of my hand while transitioning from sitting to standing. And this happened twice within 3 days lol. Luckily I had my powerskin on.

Yep, I hope Samsung doesn't do this again. The original and the S2 both had good screen protection from the bezel on the edge where it really counts.

The S3 isn't very forgiving when it's dropped in any way other than flat on its back. Mine feel from my bed down to the floor hitting a dumbbell making contact to the bezel, leaving a dime sized dent. However, it managed to survive a swim in the lake this past summer!

Mine fell two feet onto carpet, landed on its back, about a week ago and my heart stopped! A couple days ago it got flung off my bed and hit the corner of a plastic stool with its screen but was fine. That picture is going to make me even more paranoid. It looks like its JUST the front glass though. I'm starting to consider ordering a just-in-case replacement glass...

How is that case? Do you like it? Is it too big?

One of the first victims.

]+My phone fell off of my lap onto the ground. was probably a foot and a half that it fell. I think that it hit on the most unlucky spots. Touch screen stops working if the screen cracks.

Replacement should be here Tuesday. going to the sprint store tomorrow to get a otterbox case for it if they have one.

This. I'm terrified of this. I have yet to buy a case because I haven't been able to find one. I'm being so careful.

yeah the sprint version doesnt come out until tomorrow so I couldnt find a case yet. I will be buying one first thing though for my replacement device. I never dropped my last phone at all, but this thing is slick.

I was terrified this was going to happen to me the first day I got the phone. This thing is very slippery. Definitely will be investing in the Otterbox case as soon as it's available. Anyone know if it's the same price in stores as it is online?

Mine has fallen twice onto tile and once onto concrete. Lucky the concrete fall landed on the bottom of the phone. What I'm noticing is that because the back is covered in glass, it slides VERY easily out of my pocket, off my lap, etc etc. Every time I go out, I check in with a store to see if there is a case. No go so far. I did find a bumper for it online. I am thinking about doing that and getting some protective screens for the front and back to go on first.

Not available in South Korea yet. waiting patiently, though. Got a freebie-cheapie from the shop where I got my phone.

well the sprint stores around here do not have any cases at all for this phone. so I'm ordering a tpu case from ebay.
also, I got an email from the insurance company saying that the phone is on back order. Sucks that I will be waiting and stuck with a Galaxy S until it gets here.

Yup, but the sprint Otterbox won't fit the AT&T Optimus. I know. I tried. I can't understand why Otterbox would release it for sprint but not AT&T..

Because the sprint version is basically the same size as the international version... At&t is the odd sized one.
May never get an otterbox for it.

Are they actually different physical dimensions? I find that hard to believe, and if true, an astounding error on LG's part. I understand there ae differences in hardware (camera, microSD, etc) but the chasis/ body should be exactly the same overall dimensions, no?

Yup, the Sprint version corners are actually square and the width of the device is about an eith of an inch less. The AT&T version has rounded edges and wider of course so the case won't even go on correctly. Plus camera placement is a little different between the two. Holes don't match up.

Still waiting for my replacement. Hard to believe this phone is back ordered like this. I did go pick up an otterbox for when it arrives it can go straight into a case.

Just got the tracking number. new phone will be here tomorrow!!! well later today

Smashed...

Well... you can add me to the "dropped and shattered" list. It was a good drop too. The kind where you almost save it but bobble it in such a way that you actually send the phone a little higher in the air just before smashes to the ground. Filed claim... received email stating phone is on back order... no eta.

That sucks. At least you tried to ease the fall.... I think people should practice bobbling things and trying to catch them every now and then. Maybe old or dummy phones would be good for practice.
I'm loving my TPU case though. The rubbery feel of a TPU is just so much easier to grip. Doesn't make the phone any bulkier in the pocket except it helps trap pocket lint where it meets the screen. I keep my pockets cleaner now :laugh:

Sure you 'fumbled' it...
j/k ... bittersweet i guess.

Well when my original note 2 suffered the tragic Left Corner Of Doom break it was in a leather pouch that fell off my hip and hit the asphalt just right. I think the issue with these phones are that the size of the screen makes them more fragile. Its easier to break a full pensil in half then a half pensil in half. Makes sense?

I have one of those slim cases that snaps on. I had one on my OG Evo and there was no way the phone would contact the ground during a fall. This isn't the case with the GN2 since it is so much larger the case doesn't wrap the corners as well. Right now I am ultra aware when I grab for my phone and it will be awhile before using it becomes automatic. I once dropped a loaded pistol with a round in the chamber inside my gun cabinet. It fell about 3.5 feet and it felt like an eternity since it fell straight down and I was hoping the firing pin would not strike the primer.

Do you keep a lot of loaded guns in your safe? I mean, I keep 1 loaded revolver, but I think it would be about impossible to drop it hard enough to engage the firing pin with it not cocked. My other loaded firearm is typically on my hip/bed and is cocked and locked. It isn't good on your magazine springs to keep ammunition always in them. Not to mention the safety hazard of having loaded firearms. Glad no one was hurt.

This isnt a fact, magazines today have springs that are treated to remain compressed and not suffer any reliability issues. There have even been case of original colt 1911's with original magazines and ammo still firing when the trigger was pulled.
I love guns more than phones.

I just took a look at my Evo which survived many a fall with a slim case. It seems like its softer plastic around the glass. As far as keeping loaded guns in the safe. If I didn't have 3 kids there would be loaded guns all over my house. I also keep a couple of AR15 mags ready to go just in case...
Front and center is my carry piece that fell. Extra points for the person who can tell me what make and model it is.

Who is going to be the first to try NeverWet on their phone?

There is a new product on the market, sold at Home Depot, called NeverWet that promises to make everything waterproof. Check out the video and towards the end they waterproof an iPhone. This looks like some pretty amazing stuff!
http://youtu.be/DZrjXSsfxMQ

Looks awesome. Just don't know if I'm willing to try it on my $800 Note II. Luckily I have a old E4GT that I don't care about. And its in stock and & only $20 at my local Home Depot. Will post back with my results.

Just got this amazing stuff today! Tried it with shirt first, its drying right now. I'm going to try my shirt first then my shoes and then a couple of old cellphones before my G2x and finally if i see enough i will attempt the Galaxy S4. This is soo much cheaper than liquipel.

Looks like some crazy stuff. I saw their video on the Chive a week or two ago.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I just tried this on my LG G2x and i can confirm it work. I dod not submerge my phone in water, i just splashed the circuit board with some water. You have to completly coat the parts you dont want water to get to. Best way is to create a seal so that water wont get to parts where you dont want water to get to and cat neverwet it.
I can confirm that NeverWet does NOT conduct electricity. I sprayed the battery contacts and i had to scratch the NeverWet off with a knife. My phone would not turn on with the NeverWet coating on the battery contacts.

The thing I want the most from next generation of phones is for them to just be tougher. I want them water proof (liquipel pretreated) , shatterproof (flexible displays) , and power strong (next gen lithium ion batteries).

This definitely looks awesome. I think I am going to test it on my back cover of my note 2. To make sure it doesn't affect the paint or anything. I can always get another back. Can't wait to try it. May post a review on here or probably a video. I will also try it on my seidio surface case. Too bad can't do it in the screen or front of phone. Probably no point in doing it to the back in that case. I guess we'll see

I wouldn't... The stuff does not dry transparent from what I've read. If it isn't transparent enough for car windshields, color me a skeptic at it looking good on a smartphone
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

want to try this so bad, just not a fan of dissecting my phone into pieces, wish we could just do the exterior and protect it from getting into the inside of the phone, going to buy this stuff tonight and use on my shoes and stuff, and maybe one daring day ill do it on an older phone i dont care too much about anymore.
plan on using it to protect my shoes during the warrior dash.

Interesting the video shows a phone but the instructions in the package state NOT to use on electronics.

I was thinking the same thing. I have an old 4G EVO as well and it should be put to good use.

After reading more info on this I will not be trying on my phone. I'll stick to using this on other items though. But if anyone uses it on their phone definitely post it here. It's still a cool product. This would be awesome on a tent or umbrella.

Just got this and some Duster spray. For 28.35 from the local home Depot.
Hope it works. I've been doubtful but now I got the supplies so I must complete this project.
I want water proof ness so I can play under water.
I took apart my gn2 once before to reassemble the power button
so I'm not too scared but I am a little nervous.
Pray for me guys.

Be careful, never wet is known not to be very permanent. It scratches off easily.

Tried this stuff on my shoes and a shirt and a plunger before id mess with on my device happy I did so.. didnt work on shirt like on the ads. Shoes only worked on one of them...plunger worked good. Not to everyone and else not sure if its said in any ads but I dont believe it protects against running water but it seems to work best in water thats standing still like puddles and what not.

I bought some from home depot last week put it on my work boots. I paint traffic controll markings and the neverwet doesnt even repel our water base paint we use, sticks right to it. Also it rubbed off in about a day or two. I tried putting it on my seidio active case and it dried frosted looking and almost white in some spots and it wore off in about 5 minutes, from taking it in and out of my pocket. I would definitely not try it on my phone it might work a little while but I wouldnt trust it. I would only buy it to mess around with it has almost no real practical use cause it rubs off so easy.

I have an old EVO 4G I could try it on. Will report back.

For all those times I talk underwater or in rain storms...oh wait

hair line crack...

Never dropped my note and always on a case... so I clean it off today and I notice that hair line crack by the s pen slot.. anyone get this?

Could be a stress fracture. If you ever carry your phone in your jeans pocket and sit down, it could have stressed the bezel enough to crack.

It's part of the chassis, you'd have to literally remove every single part from the phone, including the screen/glass, to replace it.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OEM-Hous...lePhoneAccessories&hash=item19e3905929&_uhb=1
The display/front glass assembly is glued to the chassis so if you try to remove it, you'll likely break it, or at the very least get tons of dust under the screen. Sucks, but you just gotta live with it.

Yeah I ordered a main frame... as for the screen its sealed in so no dust will be going under that as im not replacing the screen part.. replacing most of the part is easy just the screen part will have to take it easy.. I have the tools to do it.. I have taken phone my iphone apart so I have no fear lol

I would call TMo about it, there is no obvious sign of abuse, looks like a manufacturing defect to me. Whats the worse they can say?

Idk about that as I bought it full price no contract on tmo and using it on ATT network, but I will Be going back to t mobile this year. .

Yeah, but you did buy it from T-Mobile regardless of payment or where it's used. Call them. Again, worst they can say is no, but maybe they say yes.....

I have one on mine, same spot

There was a thread just like this one and a few people had the same crack and said it was never dropped. It looks like it may be a stress point and just a weak point.

I do. I use one of the strongest cases which are the UAG's. Ive only dropped the phone once without a case by falling off the bed onto a tile floor. No noticeable damage to the phone aesthetics other than the line near the spen. But I don't think that little fall caused this.

Doesn't bother me. When I first saw it I thought it was apart of the phone. But I will however trade my note 3 because my proximity sensor has been broken for a month now ?

Wish I saw this post yesterday when I went into my rant about build quality...

What I didn't mention is this happened in a t-mobile store as I was trying this case on during my lunch break. Went back to store and they said there is nothing they can do, even with the manager there I pleaded. So a hairline crack will not be taken care of unless you feel like paying your $175 deductible or whatever it is.
Samsung can't care less, and left another angry voice mail with incipio.

Not buying another Samsung until build quality improves
