His Nexus arrived pre-cracked. What luck! Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm going to go ahead and call bs on that.
crazy, but weird that the phone is already setup and everything.. no plastic on screen. I dunno, first time hearing something like that.
Yeah that's not a crack, that's shattered.
I'm gonna call bs on that too.

i wouldnt be surprised..ppl at UPS ground throw packages and stuff..i used to work for fedex ground so i know
Why would he set it up tho? Hard to believe imo

This is the eerily familiar like the Nexus 4 thread where the guy claimed the glass shattered while inside his pocket.
Sigh.
So he pulled it out of the box, saw the screen was shattered, and decided to go ahead and take the plastic off and set up the phone any way?
Bull****!
But it is all logged in with the sticker off? Yea....

Yup total BS, you don't take the screen protector off a cracked phone
Impossible lol. I bet he dropped it then tried to be smart by blaming google.
im sorry but this is hard to believe! It looks like it was dropped! The point of impact looks like the bottom left corner!
I don't know him to be a dishonest person. Maybe somehow he got a unit that had been tampered with?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Still think its hard to believe! Why would you take the protective plastic film off, if you notice the screen is cracked? Also these phones are shipped in a decent retail packaging and then you have the actual shipping box filled with either peanuts!

AFAIK back in the day, the UPS practice was to "build" a "wall" then just throw ****(parcels) in behind it...
...so... I dunno.. BS or not, but the package should CLEARLY have shown signs of being beat all to hell and back... -> refuse delivery, or photo and claim it...
yea not buying that one nice try bro
I call BS too! The way my phones where packed there was no way that they would have cracked like this. They are in a molded box inside a box wrapped by a box inside a box with airbags.

That's sort of how my dell streak 5 felt and it too had gorilla glass.
Gorilla Glass is chemically altered to allow it to flex which helps absorb energy and keeps it from breaking as easily.

Fantastic threads like this start up. Yes the screen is technically glass. Do some research next time maybe? While you're at it why don't you try pressing down harder on your screen to see what happens. To the guy who commented on Samsung - They use the same glass.
Stop getting high kids, it takes the wind out of your sail.

I agree with the title of your post 100%!. But I think he was making a joke/reference that samsung makes cheap plastic phones....
and stop getting high? hahah maybe your next post should be even more condescending
Not trying to be a ****, but it would have taken less time to find out the phone has Gorilla Glass than it did for you to post (and then monitor) this thread, which would have saved you from the snarky replies
It's plastic. Glass doesn't have this much flexibility to bend and absorb pressure.

It was in a case as well. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584765&page=3)
Unfortunately, the top edge is not protected in this type of case. In a gel case that covers the top edge as well, it would probably have survived unscathed.
So much for HTC's theory that this phone does not need a case!
Dude that is soooo unlucky At least its just a chip and not a broken screen...
Get some protection on that bad boy !!! I never take my phone out of my pocket unless i am stationary lol, I find the One S hard to grip without a case...
Holy ---- If that happened to my One S I would be flippin.
sucks. i dropped my g2x many times with and without the case and pretty much have zero damage

Could it be restored with some kind of paint? Of course it will not be perfect but could masquerade the scratches.
or just keep dropping it until the shell becomes grey then you have owned both devices

Yeah, i did the same with my Sensation XE... CD/DVD marker will do the trick for a couple of days at a time.. But it wears off, so you have to do it 2-3 times a week if you want it to stay hidden..
Ahahah, I thought exactly the same.
My son has just throwed to the wall (2 years old baby...), and I just finished to paint with a permanent marker, ehehe.
The worst thing I've ever seen
They had one and they destroy it while I'm waiting for my device
I do not have to mention that the device those boys used is a dummy, do I?

No its not supposed to come apart like that. It's heavy duty double sided taped together and it came apart. If I put it back together the plastic falls off while the phone is in my pocket. Also when I called google the guy said its not supposed to come apart EVER! So no I'm not trolling but thanks!
Also the power button fell off of the plastic so thats pretty cool.
its suppose to come apart..
Wow, that is how you put it on the phone. U take the ring off, pop phone into the plastic part, the push the ring back in till it snaps.

lol yeah its definitely not supposed to come apart.
Correct, it does not come apart. I had two of them and both were pretty much solid, meaning not apart.
It seems to be that many people are confused on whether it comes apart or not. I, for one, would not want a product that falls apart in such a way and I, too, would make Google replace it.

The same thing has been bothering me a lot as well. Usually if I wipe it down with a microfiber most of it goes away but there are still similar specs to the ones in your picture. I just tried using paper and it didn't work too well. I ordered a small pack of the cyber putty, I think that should work better. @rootSU do you think the small 2.6 oz bag will be enough to clean a keyboard as well?
Toothbrush / Paint brush does the trick for me each time!
