I hope not, I always take of my phones, have an invisibleshield on this bad boy, if I get a scratch I'll be pissed!

If it makes you feel any better, my glass cracked in two different places from sliding off my chest while I was laying on the floor.

I dropped mine from about 5 feet in the air onto solid concrete. It landed directly on the back side (battery cover) and hardly marked my back casing and nothing happened to the phone at all.
No screen protector or case.

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

My back also has some nasty scratches but are only visible in direct sunlight its probably from setting it on tables and desks in class

So apparently the glass on these shatter easy. I keep a commuter series otter box on mine 24/7. Would it help prevent the screen cracking? Maybe cushion it. Or do I need to invent a see thru metal screen protector?

Keeping it clean

I'm sure that others out there have had this same problem. You love your S4 flip cover but hate how dirty it gets inside. Well I just found the solution. Rubbing alcohol! I know it sounds weird but I just tried it and it worked great. I can't take credit, I wish I could. I found an article on Life Hacker about cleaning microfiber couches with it and thought I'd give it a try. Mine was filthy and now looks way better. Any cleaning (even just water) seams to diminish the color a little, but its much better then dirty. I personally had quit using mine but now its happily back on my phone. Hope this helps someone else.

Just for those wondering, the smell goes away completely after it dries.

I use alcohol swabs to clean my phone all the time good stuff most definitely gets grease and crap off the screen too and dries extremely fast. Good call man

Permanent screen smudge

Hi, I was planning to sell my n2 to get the 3,it's in perfect condition with every accessory still in its packaging, however i think i won't get much on it since i have huge smudge on the top left of the screen. I dunno what caused it but I'm thinking it's due to playing tennis game on it a bit. Has anyone else experienced this?
Any solution?

Those are finger marks, you're right that it's caused by games. Notice there's 3 areas affected, where the directional pad is and where I'd assume there's buttons A and B in that game. And that's why I use a screen protector. If you don't then you can get the glass replaced, not recommended as it's not 100% safe.

It's probably the oleo phobic coating rubbed out in those areas. They do sell oleophobic replacement kits online. Try it out.

come now, it's a phone and not a suite of armour. anything subjected to daily rubbing in 1 certain spot will show wear and tear. Your logic is disappointing

Sony ACX2 QX10/QX100 Case for Lens Style Camera and Xperia Z1

Has anyone else had quality problems with this case? Had this about 2 weeks now and it's been in my pocket on its own with nothing else and the corners have broken off and now there is a massive crack along the back of the case. Not what I expected from a piece of official kit, would not recommend anyone buying this item at all. See photos

I had the same thing happen. I didn't even carry mine in my pocket, and yet I had a corner break off within two weeks of getting it. I basically decided that this case is a piece of junk. I was also expecting better quality from an OEM case. I ended up getting this one... http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Fash...kaging/dp/B00IHT4DQS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top . It doesn't have the lens attachment, but it's held up well for over a month.

I bought one as well and it broke after a few days of use. First it had cracks then the bottom corners broke off. Don't buy this!

Has anyone had any problems with the white case or is it just the black one?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

White one is just as bad. I got one and after just few days the corners started cracking.

I got both colour
They r all the same
Cracked without colliding
And chipped off when i was pulling my z1 from pocket.

Yep its rubbish quality and always felt as though the sharp edges were scratching the Z1 upon installation or removal. So neatly cut out the attachment part and merely glued it to a TPU case, its not 100% perfect but it is better than the spring loaded jaws.
