I dropped my phone and the screen shattered... Now with a picture.

I was in my room and I pulled my phone out of my shorts, it slipped out of my hands, it hit my carpet and the bottom of my screen shattered. Wtf. ... So cheap!

Thats funny, but still from 3 feet it shouldnt crack from good carpet.

I dropped mine on the concrete pulling it out of my pocket. Just scratched the edge it fell on, no screen damage, & I didn't have a case at the time, (I now have one).

I think that is the down side of glass screens. They scratch less seasy, but shatter when dropped.

Any case/screen protector on your phone?

wow sucks it cracked on carpet... i dropped mine the same way, maybe 1 foot less, and nothing happened. usually when people crack these screens it's because they dropped it on a hard surface. must've hit the mark. please post pics of what kind of damage can be expected if dropping no carpet from 3 feet. many of us are coming from plastic screens, so we should be aware of the damage our EVOs can take. thanks.

edit: the crackable screen is making me rethink the whole getting insurance things....... resistive screens could be dropped on concrete and keep going.
