Dropped my N2 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

So I've had the note 2 for over a month now. I don't have a screen protector or a case on. And I've dropped my phone twice and got some Nick around the side. So I ordered a case on eBay, seller is from China and of course I'm still waiting for the case to arrive. Today I dropped my phone right on my concrete drive way. ..and the screen is cracked
Get a case for your phone guys!

Man that sucks . Hope you had insurance. Once I saw glass was corner to corner on this device I didn't even really touch it till my case arrived. Sorry your phone broke.

I'm on tmobile prepaid 4g plan and I got the phone out rightso no warranty for me. But at least the crack is at the top right hand corner and not in the middle.

Ive dropped it 3 times and no screen damage. Just slight scratch on the side of the bezel. The second time i dropped it the button that you press on the spen came off and i was never able to find it though.

That's too bad. :sorry:

I never needed a case for my vibrant, dropped it more times than I can remember. No cracks but lots of dings and body scars. But this phone being as heavy as it is, is different. you NEED a case for it. Luckily the op's glass shatter didn't cover the camera so yeah, you got lucky man.

This is a reason why I bought a case right after purchasing note 2.

On a phone like this...its worth getting insurance on it

Yup im using flip cover as temp till I get case that completely covers this phone. ..looking for a tpu case but haven't found one yet. Also never had insurance on any phone but got it for this one. ..she's Too much of a beauty to risk.

you can get insurance on pre-paid.
when i was working at the store, i would not let somebody leave unless they had insurance or a case. this is exactly why. you drop something made of glass, it will likely break. until that flex composite screen is implemented on these devices, well, good luck and cross your fingers if you drop one of these things.
OP, sucks man. sorry to hear that. i have been lucky thus far and dropped many of my devices without cracking a screen. had a case on my s3, and my note II simply because they are bigger, weigh more, and therefore will hit the ground with more force.
get a case, and be careful

Bought a otterbox defender case . Dropped phone a few times since and everything is ok. Makes your heart drop to watch it bounce though.

[Q] Dropped my phone screen cracked

Phone was two feet from the floor. Dropped. Screen is cracked. Im not on any insurance currently. Whats the best and cheapest way to get it repaired or replaced? Thanks
Take it to a local repair shop. Unless your capable of replacing it yourself then Amazon is your best friend. IMHO taking it in somewhere is what I would do.

Call the galaxy s Support line. Just google the number. You will have to send the phone in. I'm not sure, but I think the 150 includes labor. There was another thread about a person who did the same thing. More details there. I'm in my phone, but if I find the thread ill pit up a link here.

does this phone not have gorilla glass? Or is that just the international version? I dropped my phone last night out of my car but luckily the leather case it was in protected it from any damage.
The gorilla glass is scratch proof, not crack proof.
I stepped on my phone and the screen cracked. What the hell Samsung and gorilla glass

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
That's why you need a soft case. It even saved my HD2 when I dropped from about 1 meter (and stepped on it!!!).
It got some scratches on the cam, but the screen saved.
Why not just call T-Mobile and have them send you a replacement?
I accidentally got candle wax on my screen which left a permanent mark that was rough to the touch. I tried everything to remove it, even a razor blade, but nothing worked. I don't have insurance either but I called T-Mobile and told them the story. After paying $120 they sent me a replacement. If you can go this route it will probably be cheaper and faster than going through Samsung. I was pretty pleased with the outcome through T-Mobile.

Every glass has its weak spots. I am running without a screen protector for 3 weeks now and my phone has been through hell (keys, dropped, etc...) The sides are clean because of my TPU case and the screen is still like brand new. No scratches at all

Wrong. It's not scratch proof either, it's scratch resistant. You can definitely still scratch gorilla glass without really trying (phone in pocket with keys for example)

All the impact and momentum transferred into making your case explode instead of making your phone/screen explode.

easy. Call T-mobile add the insurance and after like a week go to local store for replacement
You can only add insurance within the 14 days from purchase or 30 days in some states. After that you are sol.

Amzer shatterproof screen protector

I have been hearing a lot of cases when our Galaxy SIII's screen has shattered when dropped that too not from a height. Then i heard of AMZER's shatter proof series and i pre-ordered it 3 days ago. Now my case protector has arrived and it is the toughest screen protector i have ever used. I was so lucky that i bought it on time. It was dropped by a kid with face on and nothing happened. This one is really tough guys.
Check this http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-ShatterP...-for-Samsung-GALAXY-S-III-GT-I9300-P94905.htm
It's definitely scratch proof, but shatter proof?
Yes I agree with the OP - knocked my sgs3 off and it hit the corner of the table and then floor - screen first - i have cracked by display on the sensation in a similar situation - this time not even a scratch and this thing sticks right on! Solid stuff here - will post a review later on! must order it guys only 29 bucks!

If it doesn't suck completely after 2 weeks it is better.
i have the verizon protector on mine, which doesnt go all the way to the edge, but when mine cracked, it rounded it self off when it ran under the screen protector and turned around like "ohh can't go that way" lol https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/386262_10151093476528557_832449593_n.jpg

No, it cracked from about a 6 inch slide. That's the worst part about it. There's not a single mark on my phone because it was in a case when it happened. I called Samsung and they have to evaluate whether the damage was caused by me or some sort of manufacturing defect. I'm almost positive they're gonna rule against me despite how ridiculous the circumstances were.

It was just some plastic case that Target (ironically) had on clearance. I kinda regret that decision...
It mostly depend on the point of impact. If you dropped it directly at it's corner, it'll most likely crack. And I feel the screen on this phone cracks way too easily. I've dropped it once on my bed. Luckily the screen didn't crack.
I have minor scratches on my screen from I have no clue what, I've had a case on it since day one and never lay my phone on its front only on the back and it has minor but noticeable scratches. Annoying and very weak GG

Anyone not have their SIII in a case?

Just curious. I got my SIII on the 29th and haven't bothered with a case yet. My previous phone was an archaic Motorola Razr V3m that I had for 5 years and in that time I only dropped it a couple times on the carpet, and once it hit my closet door track which did put a ding on it. I'm thinking of just forgoing a case.
Only have ghost armor in mine. No hard case.
Dropped quite a few times. Usually just the battery case pops off in the harder falls. One fall left an slight dent that I didn't even notice till later.
Have dropped on sides and front. No screen cracks yet. No scratches...only because of the skin that covers the full body.

This was a common issue with the t989(s2) right out of the box it's a defect call T-Mobile and get a free warranty replacement. Probably shouldn't mention the drop although pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I'm on my second s3 and they have both had dark spots. It took me three tries to get a perfect s2

Yeah I plan on keeping mine for a while at least when my manufactures warranty is coming to an end I'll have a legit reason to get a brand new/refurb phone.
Yea those dark spots were bad on the t989 actually very bad. The gs3 is a long way from that but this is definitely the result of their amoled screen
I'm using a D30 case from T-Mobile but I have never dropped my phone, I rarely leave it out unless it's on the charger when I'm in bed. I don't get how people don't protect their devices in some way.
The glass of this phone seems to cracked too easily, so I bought a case for this phone. This is the first phone I ever feel that need a case. I had the galaxy s and the iphone 4 and both were never in a case.

I bought the GS3 at full price no contract or upgrade, I'm not trying to tell anyone how to take care of their things but if anyone is willing to just throw away 650$ because not having a case on their device is restricting then my hands are willing to catch it lol.
