Fragile Screen - Beware!!!!!
 
Howdy All,

First post here.

So frustrated. Just got my Diamond 3 weeks ago, got it all set up and dropped it about 8 inches. Screen shattered!!!!! Oh sh**! I couldn't believe it ](*,)Fortunately, I called right away and got the insurance plan ($7/month, piss me off). So I can replace it with a new one for a $50 deductible.

This thing is sooooooo fragile!!!!!!!!!!! I went online and bought a silicon sleeve for the new one. Hope to find a nice slim pocketable leather case.

Highly recommend you all find some way to protect your new toys, and for god's sake...don't drop it!

Were you using the screen protector?

what about the case it comes with.. i use that and it works just fine... although i guess it could be a little smaller.. but those silicone cases are for little girlies or those dumb iphone users...

shop around on ebay - I've seen diamond LCD screens and digitizers out there....fix it yourself.

I thought you couldnt use your insurance for 30 (or was it 60) days after adding it to your plan??

I'm embarr***** to admit that I've already dropped mine 3 times, twice on concrete. Either I've been VERY lucky those 3 times or you were VERY unlucky the one time.
Has anyone else dropped theirs (and is willing to admit it)? Break or bounce?
Myke...

If you have the 7$ TEP, sprint stores will change out your cracked screen for free. And since they probably don't have any parts in yet, they should give you a new phone, or order you one.

it's quite possible that you dropped it perfectly in a spot where the screen obsorbed the stress instead of the case taking the stress. So I doubt that the phone is fragile or it wouldn have been released with all the hype I has received.

Anyways, best of luck to you.

I've dropped my phone twice on concrete and twice on the carpet in my house, I got a lil' nip on the back and it's barely noticeable.......I only know it's there cause I can have very good eye sight but the average person wouldn't see it. This is a tough lil phone, I've had it for almost a month now.
