Broke my screen this past weekend :( - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Yep, broke my screen this past weekend.
Oddly enough, the LCD screen itself shattered, but the outer glass and digitizer were unaffected.
Swinging with my daughter at the park on Saturday, and forgot I had my phone in my back pocket until it was too late. Hopped off the swing and pulled the phone but it was too late

I do have to say that Corningware makes one heck of a glass (Gorilla Glass)! I would have half expected the outer glass to crack before the LCD screen!
Already ordered a replacement front assembly to the tune of $219. Using my daughters re-possessed iPhone 3gs right now, and it's horrible!
An expensive lesson learned.

Im sorry to hear that! I was under the impression we didn't have gorilla glass?? Maybe I was wrong?

Mine did the same thing back in December. Digitizer was fine, but the lcd was all cracked. We may not have gorilla glass, but what we do have sure is tough. Mine was from a drop about waste high. Since the Digitizer survived and the lcd did not, I dont see that the gorilla glass would have made any difference.Do these phones have a drop rating like an hdd does? I doubt it since it has glass.

Interesting. After hearing that Samsung doesn't use Corning's materials, I did a bit of research and seems Samsung has their own variant of hardened glass.
Call it what you will, but it's tough as nails

Yes that is true Samsung has that and it is being used on the sr

I also have the same situation with the phone, cracked LCD but outer glass is fine. I'very called samsung direct galaxy s support (877) 392-4252 and they quote me for around $160.. anyone can confirm they received the same? The tech told me it's 3-6 business day turn around.

I've got a single tiny scratch on mine and I've basically thrown it on accident >.< Tripped and rolled my ankle once and it flung out of my hands on to concrete (what makes it worse was I wasn't looking at it at the time).. but I do have an otterbox (without the stupid screen protector). I'm glad that it seems to be pretty durable.

I belive it. A cat survived a 19 story fall not too long ago. Some guy lived after a 500 foot drop some years back.
This stuff happens all the time. But I wouldn't expect my cat to make a 19 story drop. Nor would I make future plans facing a 500 foot one.
.

I'm interested to know, how much does Samsung charge to repair our phones? Or is it cheaper to buy the LCD/digitizer and repair it ourselves?

Holds it like a teenage girl with his head/shoulder and it slips? Someone I know dropped it by accidentally missing his pocket and the screen cracked.

first to break one!

so heres the story. it was on my kitchen table. my cat jumped up on the kitten table. the phone fell OFF the kitchen table. it landed on my wood flooring, and BAYYM. shattered like a christmas orniment. i can say the screen is fragile.. very different from my Galaxy S phones, which have been dropped numerous times, landed on concrete, and have dropped inside of a machine at work (lol). guess this is why samsung desides to make those "cheap feeling" light weight builds..
sigh. already ordered a replacement screen here

It also depends on where the phone fell, screen first w.e , and and the energy when it hit the ground. The must have been hard.

Ouch.
Yeah man that sucks. I dropped my Vivid the exact same way except it was outside on concrete. I am assuming you didn't have a screen protector on? Some screen protectors are said to spread the impact and protect it better.
Is it easy to install the replacement screen?
Also $45 isn't bad at all. My wife recently did the same thing to her Samsung Infuse and it cost $150.

I really wouldn't say "fragile" as much as I would say it just happened to land in a manner that would cause it to break.

Correction, you are the SECOND person to break one. I beat you to it when I had it in my pocket when I went to the pool Sunday. It didn't enjoy swimming as much as I did.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think the LCD and the glass are fused together...

You weren't the first to break one...HTC was the first to break it when they released it.
This is relevant to my future interests. Did you successfully replace the screen? Is it true that the screen is laminated/glued to the LCD? How did you pry it apart? Can you post instructions on how you did it after the deed is complete?
Keep us in the loop!
Mine fell off fbe olyptical this morning. Bounced ariund. Cracked the blue HTC plastic case. Nothing physical to the phone at all. A faint rattle inside the phone that may have been there before. You can only here faintly when shaking.

If the rattle is around the camera area, don't worry about it, there's somewhere in a thread in here talking about it and if I remember correctly it has to do with the camera and is present in all of the devices.

Does it sound like its near the camera lens? Mine does it and its never been dropped.
It does appear to be by the camera. That makes me feel better!
Either way I still decided to add the best buy protection plan in case it were to happen again.

The one thing I notice is there is nothing under the glass so it has the opportunity to give more...like in the ball test shown as opposed to having no room to give....I am sure the glass is stronger butility from my point if view that ability to give and flex helps with the resistance...I could be wrong but that's my 2 cents

Probably just people trying to scratch it on purpose and say it scratches easy.
If you're worried about scratching the screen, just get a .50 cent screen protector.
Always be safe than sorry.
I have a protector on mine but I've heard ppl complain they didn't do anything and it got scratches, they said the gorilla glass 2 is not as durable/strong as the 1st version, my x2 has gorilla 1, never put a screen protector on it dropped it couple of times, never got no screen damage, I've seen the test on YouTube when they drop any phone with gorilla glass 2 it cracks, shattered, got damage, versus any phone with gorilla glass 1 held up more, took more of a beating? Look at YouTube videos judge it yourself.

Well I guess it depends...
here is the Always on SG3 torture test... (check out @ 4 min and 6 min)
I'm pretty sure when people say they "didn't do anything" and it still got scratched, that that isn't quite true..
I didn't bother with a screen protector on my SG3, and I haven't had any issues..

I usually never put a screen protectors on my phones because I'm generally pretty careful with what I do with them, but about a week in I already have a light scratch on my GSIII, nothing too noticeable but also not done intentionally. Going to put a VZW protector on it just because I'm OCD when it comes to that stuff.
I always have my phone in my left front pocket and only money/receipts and soft objects will go into that pocket, anything else like change and keys goes into the right.
Lol that video was sick

I heard that when you drop the ohone, the screen may break easier because the glass is attached to the display directly, which also means that if the glass shatters, the screen is dead, too. As opposed to the S II where they weren't attached and the display would be fine even when the glass would shatter.
The reason they attached them is to, make the phone thinner or something.

Got a new screen on order. 250. Will be getting a bigger case. But not until I put in the screen and its working. I figure why waste more money if I need it up.
The sell the screen and bezel/frame so it's a little easier to install.

Best thing to scratch your screen - a credit card

Somehow i didn't learn my lesson when i scratched my gs2. I had to do it again
Put my phone in my pocket with my card facing the screen. .result ? tinny, almost invisible scratches.
For me is like the grand canyon... they are there. Almost no one could see it, but those fuc**** are there.
So guys. . attention to those cards touching your screen..

Credit cards can collect very tiny deposits of quartz and other hard substances from being swiped in card readers and used in atm card trays.
This makes it not only relativley dirty... but dirty with very hard materials that can scratch GG.
Always wipe your credit cards clean before you pocket them with your phone... or... dont store anything at all in the same pocket.
Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk 2
I learned my lesson when GG2 first came out. I never saw any real scratches but when looked at under a light at an angle there were a ton of micro scratches. Here's the protector I use; they're on sale BOGO right now. They are wet apply, easy to put on, and dry so tight you really can't tell they are there. They also don't yellow or pull up over time. I'm still using the original set I put on my N2 last November.

Here's one on a One X...
Its not the credit card... its the sand (quartz) and dust that constantly rubbed against your screen while you were perhaps walking. Check a few videos in you tube where they tried sand paper on gorilla glass, it still got scratched.
GG is not scratchproof... its scratch resistant.

if you buy a $600+ phone it might be a good idea to get a screen protector for less than $.99. going back to the hd2 days when GG was said to be scratch proof which later we found out it wasn't. this is now 3rd gen GG and it still scratches. if you like to take care of your expensive "toys/work instruments" it doesn't hurt to protect. the value of your phone does go down after a few scratches but again its preference just like you said.

[Q] Metal trim like the N4?

I'm trying to figure out if the Edge will have metal trim around the sides like the N4 or plastic like everything else before it...
Anyone know?
It has a metal trim , it has been confirmed by numerous sources .

Cheers~
Thanks, mate... I fingered an Edge last night at a Samsung kiosk. The phones were all warm so I couldn't feel cool metal. Asked the Samsung rep and he didn't know. In fact, he whipped out his phone and googled up a story on android authority that said it was plastic.

I have the phone and can confirm it is metal sides like Note 4.
i have the N4 right now and planning to get the Edge (give wife the n4). However, i am not liking this metal business as it scratches (hairline and small knicks) FAR easier than the plastic used in note 1,2, and 3. I have not even dropped the n4 and it has a bunch of hairline scratches. I used the note 3 for 9 months and it was pristine. ARGH!

Same here. Mines is in a silicon case.
I just got word that my screen protectors ship form amazon. I should have them by next friday.
There suppose to cover the whole front. I had to return the other ones i brought because they only cover the flat part.
Unfortunately scratches on the metal trim are somehow unavoidable, especially with some tight fit cases like UAG.

yea if you take the pictures and do a 1:1 that one will be bigger.
I wonder if they will come out with a tempered glass version. I don't like plastic screen protectors.
I spoke to Iloome and they said the tempered glass flex screen protectors will be coming sometime in January.

First cracked S7 Edge!!

A friend of a friend cracked his phone already.
It dropped out of his pocket when he sat down at a table. Fell about 2 feet onto a cement floor. Seems to have hit the corner.

Moral of the story don't buy a Samsung doh. Lol sorry Samsung police had to take a joke. That royally socks!!
That sux. Great promo ad for Samsung's durability lol!
I didn't know these Samsungs crack so easily after seeing some video drop tests where the S6 Edge did pretty good. I guess it depends where they hit. Something about a phone sandwiched between 2 sides of glass makes me wonder though.
T-Mobile is back ordered and Assurant wont have stock for a few weeks. The two Samsung reps weren't much help. They didn't know what the cost would be or how long they'd need it.
Make sure you keep these phones in a case, lol.
Ouch, just stick it in a case and never take it out, and pretend its not waterproof anymore.
Its like holding a stick of butter.

I guess gorilla glass 5 is no stronger the the 1st 4. Probably the same glass they just add a number every new phone cycle. I think they all scratch at 9h anyway and obviously a drop is outta the question
DAMN SON!

Has Gorilla Glass 5 even been released yet? If so, Corning doesn't know it.
I wasn't going to use a case. I just changed my mind.

Gorilla glass 4 not 5.
Also gorilla glass can't make glass into metal, it can only harden it a bit (usually against scratches) dropping it on concrete still will shatter it (incidentally it would have scratched and bent metal most likely).
I don't like glass on the backs of phones, but it's better then metal for some things (wireless charging). I prefer high quality plastic but the market says it's not 'premium' enough, so we get glass or metal.
