So.... Is there anything I can do about this? WARNING: BRUTAL PHOTOS

Today I learned that the MT4G can't take a 2.5 foot fall onto the floor of a bus. I didn't buy it though T-Mobile, and I have no insurance or anything. What should I do here?

It looks like the LCD might be okay, so it may just be the digitizer that's damaged. Those are fairly inexpensive to buy but I've heard they're not very fun to replace if you're inexperienced. Try seeing if there are any repair shops around that will fix it if you provide the digitizer.

what happened to it? it looks fine to me
p.s. digitizer and LCD need to be replace Digitizer is usually 60 dorra(attempt at Chinese accent)

It literally fell 2.5 feet out of my hand onto the floor of the bus while I was getting on. I'm going to try and scrap it on eBay to offset another one.

Get insurance on it with tmo over the phone, wait a few days and file a claim. Or just order the parts and watch the youtube video for it. It really isn't that hard to replace. Just take your time when you do it.

This phone can take drops but not flat on its face. If it landed fat its going to crack samething happen to me. I have insurance though its going to cost 130 dollars.
this is the first phone that cracked on me I advise you to get a case otterbox or Trident Cyclops.

That Trudent case actually looks pretty snazzy, but does it add a lot of bulk to the phone?

Sorry if this is the wrong time to ask but what is the Rom and theme that u have?

Not to much some but not as bad as the powerskin case good protection for Trident case. First time I bought a case for a phone the power skin case isn't no case... Didn't help my phone from breaking.

CyanogenMod 7 with the Cyanogenbread theme that is included.

That sucks man... I use a T-mobile 2 part case that's rubber with a hard plastic shell
It's taken its share of falls from my lap getting out of the car (nasty habit that I will eventually kick). The plastic is actually broken off on 2 corners. Only thing that is wrong with it is some damage to the bezel since that part is only covered by rubber. It has seriously paid off dividends though. I'm sure my phone would be mad ugly if I never got the case.

Guess its random... I just dropped my phone like three feet to concrete... no damage thank god! Anyways you can try calling customer care and complaining about the lack of durability... I know gridlock dropped his phone and it broke and he called and complained and got a new one free of charge... you should pm him and ask him what exactly he said ....

...and the tales of survival commence.
A week or so after getting the phone, mine fell 4-5 feet into concrete stairs. It hit on a corner, had a tiny mark because of it. The phone worked fine otherwise.
But...a month or two after that fall I was able to replace the phone because mine had the "bad" screen.

Awesome dude. I've been watching that case and was wondering when someone would do a review for it. Can you tell me the size after? maybe a before and after side by side? I love the slimness of the phone so I don't want added bulk.
Thanks!

It adds some bulk; nothing mayor that can't be dealt with. It kind of feels like the HTC Thunderbolt. But still, it feels like it will protect it against any fall. The pro is the kickstand.

Would you mind taking some before and after photos?

I have the Zagg Invisible shield on the front only and I love it. I'm using the Otterbox Commuter with it and everything plays very nice with each other. I'm really thinking about getting this case but it's like 30 bucks DANG! lol Zagg makes a solid product and they stand by their stuff.

What is pressing the physical buttons like with it? Power button and volume can be a bit recessed

$30.99 wow, it seems a bit high to me, but if it saves the phone I guess it's worth it.

i also have this case...and not to come down on you Hogowner, cause im just trying to help the original poster out...but it is an awesome case and it is very easy to put in and pull out of holster. Well worth the money.

have the same case..its pretty good except I would prefer it to protect top and bottom completely and also lip over edge

Yeah I love this holder. Bought 2 just in case it ever breaks and they stop carrying it.

I own this case as well and it has been great so far. Not super thick and the kickstand, while not a marvel of engineering, works well enough. I do not use the holster, just the case.

I searched for all cases with a kickstand and this was really the only one I found and I love it. Protects the phone well.

I wish there was a replacement battery cover with built in kickstand. Since my iphone 3gs I've been a naked cell user.

Same here, and it'd allow for docking on desk and car docks as well.

I also have the kickstand case and its a nice case. Amazon has them around 11 bucks i think too. They are 30 at Verizon for the case and holder.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

Like the case, hate the clip so I popped it off. Used it for about a month and had no issues but I did worry about the lack of protection on the top and bottom. I now have a TPU case from cruiserlite and am quite happy with it. I will be switching back and forth with that and the kickstand.
Just as long as it's not the verizon silicone case you'll be fine.

"Hybrid TPU" case that shows the back of the phone....

I had this case for my Vibrant and loved it. I was excited to see that it is available for the Sensation so I thought I would pass it along. I love the look of the back of the phone so it is a shame to hide it with a case.... This one is the best of both worlds.

Wow...perfect! I have a TPU case from Amazon and I love it, but this case looks to be way better cause it shows the back of the phone! Thanks!!!!

That's a neat case! I've never seen one like that before. So I was reading from the link... The back is hard plastic right? Wouldn't that eventually show marks on the back, or no? Since you've owned this case before, were there any signs of rubbing from the case or did it ever leave marks?

Nope... I have had the case on the Vibrant for months and it hasn't damaged the phone. My wife is still using it and the case still looks great. Here is the huge thread on the Vibrant forums titled "Officially the best case in the WORLD". Hyperbole aside, it is a good case.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772826
I can't speak to this one (yet) but the one for the Vibrant fits great and held up well without messing up the phone.

That looks good & shows off the Sensation well!

Nice! Thanks man. I had it on my Vibrant too and I loved it. Getting this one, for sure

I bought a similar case that looked to be somewhat clear but when it arrived it was way more opaque than it showed to be in the picture. When you receive it let us know how it looks.

I think this case looks awesome. I don't wanna be cheap but are there any like this on eBay for like 4 bucks.? I checked and don't think there are so ill just order this one.

I checked out eBay but they haven't made it there in mass just yet. There is at least one seller that has them but it works out to about the same price as the original link in this thread when you add shipping.

The back plastic is hard (not foldable).

I ended up just getting the one from tpu-cases . The reviews are great and its just under nine bucks shipped.
The ones in the op have the case covering the power button and I just rather it be open. If they were I'd probably get them since I know someone who has one and she's more then happy with it.

Actually, I think the Poetic one has more appeal thanks to price, not availibility If I wanted to spend $20 to protect my phone, Id rather get a full case. $5 to offer small protection while still showing off the beautiful back is two thumbs up and a customer
