I just had the worst moment with my gs4 so far. Dropped it from pocket hieght with a cade on and the screen shattered. Obiously gorrila glass is horible if it broke with one fall in a case, my lg thrill had at least 20 drops from above my head and survived each one. Does anyone how i could get a replacment OEM digitizer online and install it without gettimg dust on the inside of the phone?

That sucks...
Ebay or Amazon. You'll start to see replacement screens there first. But i don't know of anything available yet...
Gorilla Glass is not break resistant. This is directly from Corning...the manufacturer of Gorilla Glass. I've seen phones dropped lots of times, some being my own. It all depends on how it lands. They're more likely to break from a face flat drop than from an edge hit drop. Just my experiences though.
"According to Corning, with its new Native Damage Resistance, Gorilla Glass 3 has been developed to provide improved durability to withstand deep scratches and cracks in the glass. As a result, Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with Native Damage Resistance provides enhanced scratch resistance, reduced scratch visibility, and better retained strength once a scratch occurs."
I heard the lcd and digitizer might be glued together and if thats true i would have to replace both of them. Thats messed up samsung, this phone is not strong at all

Unfortunately, the digitizer and glass is glued together, until both are released, Samsung charges 169.95.

i would not say it is weak, every drop test i have seen the phone only cracks from high drop on the corner or face down drops. that being said until a super strong glass tech comes you should get an insurance plan or a case.
You're probably going to want to be more careful with your 650.00 toy.

i also cracked my s4 screen from like 15 inches high to the sink, it cracked on the first drop!
i dropped my Note1, Note2 multi times and nothing happen!
if you dont have insurance on the phone, try to claim it on your credit card!
i just checked my Citibank, Discover, and American Express, they protected the product against theft and damage for the first 90 days!

Bad news for ya, almost all smartphones these days have the "iphone 4 design flaw" where when you drop it the wrong way without decent protection, it will break. If you are prone to dropping phones then insurance is the best answer for you. I always get a screen protector with a good case in order to skip the insurance and have my phone looking brand new for resell each year.
You dont need to replace both. It is possible to just replace the front glass. I do at least 3 s3's a week. Just takes alot of patience. Heck of a lot cheaper

Before you go bashing them, you should go read up on the product.
The retained strength has to do with micro-scratches and nothing to do with dropping the phone...

I find my HTC Sensation very a solid and hardy phone; I've accidentally dropped it a few times but thankfully it has emerged unscathed each time. I personally hate the idea of putting on a case but I'd like to hear some of your own experiences. If you have somehow damaged your phone, I'd like to hear how that happened (fell from what height, on what surface, dragged across how far, etc), and also post photos of the resulting damage. This whole post might sound a bit sadistic but I think it'll serve as a good lesson for the rest of us and perhaps it could also give us a better idea of what to look for in a case should we finally decide to buy one.
So, fellow owners of the HTC Sensation, show us your phone's battle scars!
This is actually a very good idea! I'm really curious about this too!
Well I unfortunatly thought the same about my phone after having dropped it a couple of times and it surviving unscathed. I was in my kitchen and I lost grip of my phone, sending it plumetting down to the hard tile floor. It fell about 5 feet and landed facedown on the top right-hand corner. The end result was a spread of cracks along the top of my digitizer. Moral of the story: sensations are NOT indestructable. Resilient/mostly scratch-proof? Yes. But a bad fall on a hard surface WILL result in moderate-severe damage. If you feel that you can adequately keep your sensation safe and hate cases as much as I do then the risk might be worth it, but if you hope to keep your phone completely unscathed no matter what, get a case.
You sir, are way too lucky. I decided not to use a case (AND THIS IS THE ONLY DAY I didn't want to use a case *big sigh!*) totally forgot my phone was in my pocket. Took it off to put on another pair and of all places... I was standing on hard floor. Thank goodness the screen didn't crack! The cover however, is already replaced. Thank goodness it's that easy! (I just with the antenna's werent there)
Just a bit of damage, the rest seems like dust. but there's mine

I buy a TPU case & use it since bought senny. So far after 5 month, never drop yet ^^

I don't have a picture as I quickly sold mine. I got a brand new sensation a while ago and within less than a week, I found a scratch on the so called scratch resistant gorilla glass, the worst part is that I don't even know where it came from. I've taken good care of the phone within that one week period and have never dropped it or anything. At that point, I quickly bought a screen protector and bought a new phone considering the cost of replacing a cell phone costs less than replacing a digitizer. Moral of the story, always use a screen protector if you don't want scratches, the advertising for gorilla glass being durable and scratch resistant is drastically exagerated.
Im from Serbia, and getting case for phone here is VERY hard..
I got my own Teracell (copy of capdase) for sensation. But i hate it cause my phone feels fat and big (when you are holding it in hand.. i know this sounds weird to weirdo' people ).
So i bought Hard Shell .. link.
Its not same as Teracell protection but it has better looks..
As far as screen protectors - some one told me, here in Serbia, that due to curves on the edges of Sensation screen, it is impossible to fit any good screen protector..
Can u recommend any to me ?
Thanks
@KAwAtA Ooh that looks nasty. Glad to hear the glass was intact. When it dropped the frame didn't pop out from the main phone body I assume? And looks like just scratches and no really major dents to the frame. Thanks for the photo btw!
@Laynee I agree with you, I don't see many screen protectors marketed to work specially for Sensation, and my guess is also due to the curved glass. But I have never been a fan of screen protectors (and phone cases) anyway. My previous Hero survived 2 years without visible scratches with normal wear. Pretty happy with the Gorilla Glass so far.
@Radio_Dude how was the scratch, was it actually very clearly visible? I've honestly not seen phones with Gorilla Glass scratched and I'm intrigued. My old HTC Hero had Gorilla Glass and it took quite a lot of punishment being in my pocket with various other items; the glass was unscathed but the metal frame didn't fare too well. So far so good with my Sensation!
@Marioag_0412 That sound really painful, I really feel sorry for that! 5 feet does seem pretty high. Like you I hate cases too, and dropping phones seem rather inevitable. Hopefully if it does fall, it won't be from such a height and on a rather forgiving surface.
Why people resist using cases and screen protectors is beyond me. They're cheap, and there are PLENTY that are virtually unnoticeable on the device but give better grip and protect better.
Be smart. Protect your investment with a case and screen protector.
fiz3nigma: believe it or not, it was quite noticeble especially under light. When I moved my nail over it, I can even feel the presence of the scratch. I heard that gorilla glass is especially prone to being scratched by sand (being made from silicon and all). Nonetheless, i'm playing it safe now and have put on a screen protector as soon as I got my replacement sensation.

Hey d-iivil, why don't you just buy a digitizer from the internet and do it yourself. Here in canada, there are stores that are willing to do the work for 70 bucks and buying the digitizer separately cost around 30 bucks from ebay. that's only 100 canadian, who ever is charging you 270 euro is obviously ripping you off, for that kind of money, might as well put it into getting a new phone

In reality I had to pay only 30e since the insurance company paid the rest, that's why I also didn't want to do the job myself. Htc repair changed the digitizer and lcd.

is it too early to have those retail parts...on the market...
contact htc or carrier, see if they have any repairmen plan
I've only heard of one website so far that is able to replace the LCD and digitizer for the HTC One X so far, and they charge $250 to do so... I agree with beaups, just use a spare phone right now for a month or so until they get the needed parts in the "market" if you don't want to send it back to HTC or your carrier
Gotta be within the first 30 days...try to add some insurance?
Not the most ethical thing and I don't condone it, just providing another possible option.
Thanks guys. Just got a ticket opened with HTC and will see what they charge me. Sold off all my old phones a couple days ago except for my iPhone 4, so I'll switch back to that in the meantime. That screen is gonna seem soooooo small.

The phone is gorilla glass 2 but it is also like the iPhone 4 in that it exposes the edges to impact and hardened glass shatters very easy when you hit an edge.

Yup I might be the first A-hole to shatter my screen. Dropped on top left corner from 5 feet. Completely anhiliated the screen to the point that by the impact zone a crater of gorilla glass is gone. And the bezel, well yea a piece of that disappeared as well.. Its completely my fault, but I will def be reconsidering plastic devices in the future. Could it have killed them to include a legit metal bezel... Time to go cry haha

Drop tests aren't always accurate, as quite a lot depends on where the point of impact is after the fall. Overall though, given that the S4 did survive a few of the drops is a good thing, as it seemed the S3 is a bit less durable.
Either way though, Gorilla Glass isn't meant to offer a ton of protection for drops - It's scratch resistant, not shatterproof.

Haha I most certainly am... I'll be posting pics today. I'm just most upset that the bezel chipped apart. I think that if it were able to absorb some of the impact or if there was a simple metal bezel the device would have fared much better.
Actually, the fact the plastic bezel broke too meant that even a metal case wouldn't have saved you.
Read up about "crush zones" in cars and how if the frame (bezel in this case) is crumpled, it reduces the damage to the people inside (screen in this case).
It sounds like your phone hit the corner and hit hard enough that unless you had a TPU case, it would've been dead either way.
+1. A lot of factors go into how phone damage occurs when you drop it. Five feet without a case purely on the corner is enough to damage the best of builds but throw on a decent tpu and your phone might live to see the light. Also would like to add that as long as you can replace the screen with ease, which luckily Samsung designed the phone well enough to be disassemble, it's not that bad of a situation.
At the end of the day though you should really get phone insurance. It's the best case money can buy lol

I just purchased a bunch of S3 screens and adhesive and such from them...
If you're a little handy with fixing phones and what not then you might be in luck. The glass and lcd can be separated just like the s3. Lcd which is the display has the touch built into it. The glass is just for protection. Ive done it on the s3 many times. With a heat gun and a blade. The glass alone cost $30-40. Find your local repair shop at most you should pay is $150.

Thanks everyone for the the suggestions
So every time I purchase a new phone I go through the same process.
I spend a significant amount of money on a screen protector for it then to scratch and realise it's more effective to keep buying cheap protectors.
Well..... This time is no different, £30 on this screen protector. I have placed the phone in my pocket a few times where there is no grit or anything that should scratch the screen and it's got light scratches......
Never again :')

You can try keeping a tiny piece of anything on the screen(like a piece of tissue paper) to help the camera focus on the screen!
And try a halogen background lighting or you can first try using the flash to see if it brings out the scratches in the pic!:fingers-crossed:
I also got a scratch on the glass tR which I never know where it came from. Noticed that just 2 or 3 weeks after installing it on my phone. Very disappointed. I ordered MIME for the lifetime warranty then.

Just because it's scratch resistant it doesn't make them scratch proof. I've seen a few gorilla glass products get scratches on them. You've just been lucky. The only reason I use screen protectors (along with a case) is for a higher resale value.
I have the Glass.tr and it now has a very faint crack going from the center of my phone to the sides.. I haave never dropped it. I think it happened in my pocket.. I think maybe me sitting down or something caused my phone to flex a little bit creating the crack.. which is bull.. it is suppose to be 9h or 8h.. flexing the phone a little should cause a crack.. I mean the gorilla glass didn't crack.. anyway I sent in a request for a new one.. lets see if they will do it.. my experience with spigen is they won't reply for like a week

I mean the gorilla glass didn't crack.. anyway I sent in a request for a new one.. lets see if they will do it.. my experience with spigen is they won't reply for like a week

You have it backwards, the harder the glass, the less stress it can take while flexing. Making it thinner also reduces its capacity to remain rigid, making it much easier to flex. The hardness rating is there to prevent scratches. if you want a flexible protector, go with a quality plastic.

What is the point in having a screen rotector on an anti-scratch glass? I used them in the past but since i ended with them i never got a single tiny scratch on any of my phones!

Bought a screen .004 hardened glass protector for $11 from China off eBay. Haven't tried it out yet still in mail. The specs says it can Handel a razor blade...%98 clear.

So why are people putting cases and screen protectors on the phone if HTC will replace even a scratched screen....

Because people like taking care their things. Just because the Uh-Oh program allows you to replace your device within one year despite of scratches, breaks and water damage doesn't mean someone is going to change the way they take care of their device with the idea in their head they'll get a new one for free.
Because if you ever sell it, people would like a pristine phone. I've always got top dollar on resales due to taking great care of the phone, so it is almost like new, plus, taking great photos. That combo has always got me above average prices since I just buy my phones outright.
I'm only expecting uh-oh in case something really bad goes wrong.
I'm not a fan of cases unless they are extremely thin and made of genuine leather - however Uh Oh while great won't cover your dent in the corner of the aluminum housing after a drop or a scratch in the anodized aluminum case due to some other accident.
Saw a minor scratch on the screen before I put a Zagg on it. Don't care anymore!
