Dropped my T989 the other day and finally the glass broke. So should I spend the $130 to insurance swap it or the $200/250 to upgrade it?

If it were me I would consider my budget. If you can afford the extra 80-130 bucks then by all me as upgrade.

Depends on how much you liked your SGS-2. If you've got the upgrade credit, I'd use it for the SGS-3. And BE SURE to get insurance for it. That thing's more fragile than the SGS-2.

OMG... I dropped my Device yesterday for the first time on my ceramic tile floor and the back cover flew off and it was face down. I can barely get the back off when I try it's attached so good. I was freaking out when I picked it up.
Luck was on my side because it left a tiny scratch on the corner where it hit the floor and nothing else, but man it must of hit with some force to fling off the back cover.
I love this device, but I say go with the upgrade if you can only do one.

Used perfect ones go for like $300 or so. The screen and digitizer are one piece that costs around $200 so.. there you go.

Yeah... its not worth a whole lot. The only thing one with a broken screen is worth is other parts that someone is in need of for replacement on their own device. No one's gonna buy it to replace the screen unless they're getting super cheap parts.
Thanks guys this is helpful I'll be putting it on Craigslist pretty soon

My phone just cracked while playing Foosball with my brother. Unlike any others, the screen was directly impacted by the Foosball stick, not from dropping damage. I'm using a Trident aegis case on mine. I'm considering buying a squretrade insurance as its the best option right now

Well in that situation the case is really irrelevant; if the stick hit the screen directly it wouldn't make a difference whether there was a case on it or not.
I believe you can add insurance from tmobile up to 30 days after getting the phone but the deductible is ridiculous, like 150$ i believe. Nonsense when the phone was 99$ in the first place.

No you can't. You have 14 days from the date of purchase to add insurance after that you can't. Unless you file a warranty exchange. That will give you the chance to add insurance. 7.99 a month. Trust me I do this everyday at t-mobile.
Wish you would have seen my thread about a week ago when I dropped my s3 and cracked the screen. I was trying to warn everyone this can happen. So add insurance!

The replacement cost of an in contract GS3 is about $650. $150 doesn't sound so bad.
And it didn't take much to do it either! Was sitting in a patio chair, slipped out of my pocket 18in down to poured concrete. My gnex had taken falls 10x worse and come away unscathed.
Be careful, this big phone is really a whimp in the durability department.
No case, never use them so it is partially my bad but I was really surprised this fall was enough to cause this kind of damage. She is still 100% operational however. I have been quoted $300 and $350 to replace. I do have insurance but am not sure how I will proceed at this point. I may just use it as is for a while versus getting a new one immediately and feeling like I need to keep it in a bubble.
Be careful!

Makes sense. More glass. More fragile.
Mines cracked too. Don't even know how it happened. Store refused to mark it as defect. Sprint is telling me to file a claim with asurion on Monday. Its not on the site yet but I'm willing to bet it's the first 200 deductible. Phone works fine and for the note 1 they sell an outer glass for $30. What to do?

you guys WILL NEED a case for this phone. How to do you guys expect a 5.5" phone (which isnt as durable as a tablet or small phone) with a stretched screen with gorilla glass 2 (thinner but stronger my arse) to actually take hits and falls naked?

As far as I know the highest for assurion through sprint is $200 at this point. I would assume this phone would be on the top tier for deductibles. That was according to the packet that I received recently, along with the increase to $11 a month.

It's tiered based off the retail price of the phone if bought outright. This is the first $200 deductible product sprint has offered.

Alright, so the unthinkable happened. Yes, I dropped my beloved Note II. Less than two weeks into owning it, too.
The drop was about 2 feet and landed on my foot, then bounced onto a tile floor (yeah, I know). The fall was light and hardly made a sound, but alas I now have a spiderweb originating on the left side of my screen. It's not too bad but here are some pictures so you know the kind of damage that can befall your phones.
It was VERY difficult to take pictures of, but it's easy to see under a light. I just thought some of you might want to know how easily the screen can be broken.
If anyone has any advice on dealing with this, It would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I'm in Canada with Bell, and have their smartphone premium care plan. I haven't spoken to anyone yet as this happened this evening, but it looks like it only covers accidental damage resulting in failure, for which i have to pay 150$ for a new phone (that seems to be the only option). So for now I think I'm stuck with a very sadly broken screen. If anyone cares, I'll update later after I talk to them.
I have same plan with Bell. You will be covered. Just have to pay the $150 on your next bill and send in your old one. My daughter dropped a 3 week old bold 9900 into the toilet and it was covered!

same happened to mine today but the damage is much worse.
If anyone has experience with repair options I'd love to hear about it.
I got mine on release day, and the guy in the store took their demonstrator to lunch and dropped it. Cracked the screen on the corner.
I replaced the screen on my Inspire and it wasn't too bad. I watched the video of replacing on the GN2 and it looked quite a bit easier, so I think you would be fine trying to replace yours. Good luck
Too funny. I did the same yesterday. Had it sitting on my wallet face down on the kitchen table and it slid. I caught it with my legs, rolled off my foot and hit the ground. About a 6 inch fall at most. Two big cracks and a chip. Two generations of notes, two broken screens Haha.
Have a square trade warranty and the phone actually functions like normal so there is at least that.

The problem is that I'm not sure if it's just the glass on the front that's broken, or the OLED/ touch panel itself (since I believe it is a single panel on this phone, right?), which is at minimum 200$ to order the part. I am entirely comfortable replacing it myself, though I don't want to pay that much if I can avoid it.
I'll take it to the Bell store tomorrow and see what they can do before doing anything else though.

If you can turn it on and see the OLED is providing images then its fine. The didgitizer is all you need to replace. The ifixit link is the best place to learn from. I replace screens on many phones and as long as you follow the golden rules your going to have a great repair experience.
1. Ask or search before you guess
2. NEVER EVER force anything. If it wont budge seems to require force. Check your sorce and ask first.
3. Double check all your connections
4. Keep a clean work space with plenty of light.
5. Stay geounded. (Usa a mat, strap, or whatever.)

They have 2 insurance options
1) $7.00 - Insurance Only
2) $10.00 - Insurance + Better CS + GPS Location Services
When I was in the store to change sim cards, the in store rep told me only the $10.00 was available. However, when I called into AT&T CS, they allowed me to chose just the $7.00 option. $200.00 deductible still applies.
I believe it was covered in a previous thread, but Best Buy insurance does not cover lost or stolen phones.

dont replace just the screen..it can be done but you risk the chance of dust getting between the lcd and glass which will drive you crazy.

In the last 2years I've dropped, water damage and bricked over 10-12 phones and just gotta wait a few days for a refurbished one
Radio Shack does it for about $80 but you are without the phone for a few days.
