So, I dropped my phone just now and spider webbed the glass pane. Now it looks like most of the iPhones I see in the wild. The screen and touch matrix are still functional as I'm typing on the phone now. I'm just wondering if I should sbf back to stock before I go and see if insurance will get it replaced. I'm on cm9 right now.

Insurance won't care. just pony up the $100 and they'll send you a new one.

oh man that sucks. May I suggest the otterbox defender. I have thrown mine across the room on numerous ocasions and still looks brand new when I take the case off. Also I have never used my insurance but I would sbf just in case but thats just me.
No need to sbf for insurance. Only if you bring it into a store

insurance is the same price if you told them you lost it. then you can keep it for testing roms and such before hand... just a thought.
Get the otterbox case. You can throw your phone and it will be fine

Just make sure if you told them you still have the phone (didn't report it lost/stolen) that you send it back asap or they're going to hit your bill with a huge fee.

I would just replace the screen myself. It's probably a lot easier than you think and you can get the kit off amazon for $20. So you'll save money and you won't end up with a refurbished phone.

I just compared the back of the phone in the picture with mine. The pictured one looks to be made of a cheaper plastic than mine and/or as deeper indents. Anyone else notice this?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
A picture with the phone actually ON and WORKING would help
I'd stay away from it, seems shady. The seller possibly could of found it on the floor sans battery, and attempted to sand down rough knicks from it being dropped.
Also there's ribbons for the antenna and other things that go right where it's sanded down and you don't know if that's going to affect the signal or not.

If it's stolen, and was replaced through att insurance, I believe att places a permanent imei block on the phone. If that is the case, the phone will only function unlocked on TMo, sans 3 and "4" G data.
That price definately falls in the too-good-to-be-true category. If they don't want the phone, its been out less than 30 days, why don't they return it. Very fishy.

BUY A CASE
Decided i would not have a case on my new Xperia S. Today went to pick the nipper up from nursery, normally have phone in my pocket but today i decided to be smart and hold it in my hand, along with my daughters book bag and coat. Got to the car and opened the boot to put the stuff in and......... well i think a picture says a thousand words!!!!

My x10 has fallen 4 times(Yes, I'm ashamed, as I should be) but the only damage is to the screen protector and one tiny mark on the backplate. Am I incredibly lucky or was the x10 a much hardier phone than the S? BTW, I'm 6'1" so its got a fair way to fall, and ikea carparks you'd think wouldnt be forgiving
So I generally don't start threads because I usually don't get stuck. BUUUUT
I ended up either cracking the red back plate when removing it, or when screwing it down, not sure which, and it doesn't sit right. I get wonky signal issues sometimes because the back covers don't sit right on it.
Anyone have any idea where I might be able to order that back plate? I can't imagine it cost very much, but having complete signal failure because your back cover creaked is retarded.
I spent some time on google and could find every replacement part in the damn phone minus that red back cover.
Thanks!

I work at an AT&T in Ohio and we're getting Otterbox Commuter Cases for the e970 very soon. They're in stock at our distribution center just waiting for them to come to stores!

Right, but considering the AT&T OG is larger than the Sprint version, meaning the cases won't fit each other, this is news.
Contacted otterbox and they said they have no plans to make such a case. So either otterbox or the op is full of it.

I contacted Otterbox before the Commuter for the OG was available to purchase, and the two CSRs that I talked to had no idea for which phone it's for (Sprint, AT&T, etc).

Diztronic FTW! My friend is ditching the otterbox for her HTC One X for a Diztronic case after seeing mine on my LGOG
I'm liking the diz case but for those who need superior protection or line of work requires lots of movement I move a lot of furniture a otterrbox is ideal. I got the best buy warranty so really if the front irc back breaks I'm going to get it replaced but for those who didn't get the warranty an letterbox is the best bet.

OP, update your first post//thread title so people don't get confused.
Just got this case in http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=290842834812&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=75614241091 fits perfectly.
Looks like it'll be a good alternative to the Otterbox for those that work outside.
I can post pics if requested once I get a chance.

how bad is it, you can always claim something else is wrong with it. Where did you buy it from?
It's very small. I was able to kind of hide the clear aluminum showing with a black marker. I also just noticed I have 3 dead pixels so maybe that would be enough if they don't really notice the scrapes. I got it from an official AT&T store.

Personally I dropped mine and it got scuffed a little too, so much that it bothered me. I was within 14 when it fell so I took it back and told them that it was to fragile along the edges, got way to hot (130°) which I screenshot and the headphone jack doesn't work well with FM radio and he said no problem and replaced it and that was that. It was fraud on my end, and I paid good money for a phone that I wanted to keep in mint condition. Haven't dropped the second one yet but I have gaps, which isn't too bad. My advise, go for it and it isnt fraud of there is actually a problem with it anyway.

I ended up trading it in and getting a silver one. I was completely straight with the rep and showed him the scratches which he thought was no big deal and were barely even noticeable. I had to point out the scratch locations since he couldn't even see them at first. I showed him the dead pixels and also the power button which had this awful click sound which drove me crazy. I just had to pay a restocking fee and was good to go.
