I miss my Note Edge.
Dropped a dozen times with no case and not a crack. Stupid all glass design.

I've dropped my note 8 in a cheap Spigen case several times without issue.
all depends what surface it drops on and what part of the phone hits the ground...

Motorola once had that phone that the screen was unbreakable, its crazy that in 2018 screens are still breaking - probably because they make good money off people cracking them...

Just like they make good money off sealed batteries due to planned obsolescence. People kept their Note4s for far too long due to being able to get a new battery.

Screen repairs run in excess of $300.

Going to try a $7 screen protector and hope it will prevent the cracks from spreading.

If it indeed spreads, then I'll decide then what my options are.

It's crazy that a $1,000 phone should be so fragile.

Can you send a link of which screen protector you are getting? I haven't found a good one yet.

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Looks horrendous.
2.8 stars is probably because it's a $2 item they are charging $25 for.

59% 1 star reviews is not a product I'd ever buy.

In a Samsung store it should be much less than that
