Thanksgiving Day MAYHEM..... - HTC Rezound

Are you serious? My one day old Rezound smashed. I wish it would've had gorilla glass at this point. I am so distraught right now that i've posted pics and a few different forums. While preparing Thanksgiving dinner, listening to music the headphones caught the door knob and slam right to the floor. I am thankful that Amazon is replacing the phone free of charge even though I had Asurion insurance (no $99 replacement). But the phone won't be here until Tuesday :'( lol.

Wow, that sucks. Amazon never ceases to amaze me with their level of customer care though.

what he said. ballsy! lol

Using an extended battery and Verizon didnt have a case for the extended battery. Plus I never use cases but that will change Tuesday when I get my new phone.

When did you check Verizon for a case? I picked my phone up a few days after release. Bought the extended battery and the case that fits on the same day. Fits the hand great. And has a stand on the back.

I checked yesterday and they didn't hav a case for the extended battery. I bought the dock, extended battery, and screen protectors.

No gorilla glass on Rezound for sure?
I better never drop the phone when I get it!

Yep, it's not magic, it all depends on what it hit and the angle. No matter what kind of glass it is, it can break.

Not really that tech savvy. I assumed that gorilla glass was a lot stronger than regular glass thus indestructible lol. Well I definitely learned my lesson. I'm going to buy the red silicone case and use the extended battery as needed.

There was a post on several Android forums about someone dropping their new Droid RAZR, shattering the glass on it. It even has Gorilla Glass. Unless it's bulletproof, there's no glass that isn't breakable, just scratch resistant.
Either way, sorry your phone was damaged man. Hope you get a replacement soon!

^ This. Gorilla glass probably would of shattered too from the drop you described.

Didn't you guys see the pics of the RAZR?! lol, people who think Gorilla Glass is special crack me up. I can't imagine the CSR conversations trying to explain to people it doesn't mean it is indestructible.
Your phone looks to hold up better man!

Well, the name does conjure up all-around strength for 99% of people that hear it so it's not hard to understand that's what they expect. Whoever owns it could have used another name to more closely describe its resistance to scratches, like "Diamond Guard" or something.

So you're saying Gorilla Glass isn't all it's cracked up to be? Perhaps we've just shattered the illusion of indestructibility. It's shard to keep up with all the splintered information around it. I wouldn't want this discussion to fracture into disconnected threads, though, so let's not all go to pieces over it!

Too much, man. Too much.

Anytime it says resistant, that's not proof! Like a water resistant watch is not water proof. Read about Gorilla glass here -
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/faqs
I remember the news here in Denver doing a live shot with that armored Casio phone, having people drop it and such, saying it was "break resistant". Some guy, prob 25 walked up, they told him to drop it, he spiked it into the sidewalk into pieces. Made me laugh so hard I did a spit take all over my coffee table...

Best Screen Protector?

What do you guys think is the best screen Protector for the Rezound? I've tried Invisibleshield, but don't really like the orange peel or rubber feel. I also want something that covers the entire screen and has some fingerprint resistance. Also, anti glare would be nice, but I don't know if they make those. Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

I also dislike the invisi shields. I hate the feel & when I had one on my Thunderbolt I ended up having to replace it twice.
right now I am enjoying using nothing but if I do get protectors its probably just going to be the basic cheapo ones.
I had a cheap one on my Incredible, then Invisishield, and now nothing for 3 months. I like it better without protection, personally. :-D

just like sexytime.
as Austin Powers once stated they're only needed by sailors who go from port to port.
I'm pretty paranoid about scratching my screen, but also VERY particular about the protector. I tried the ones from VZW, but couldn't stand how it changed the awesomeness of the RZ screen. Didn't like the eggshell feel of the Zagg or I'd go to Best Buy. Been using Steinheil on my DI1 and DI2, but when I checked last week, they still weren't available for the RZ. Same for Ghost Armor.
Hmmmmm.......

how much of the screen does the screen protector actually cover? can we get a close up picture of it?
it's literally the whole screen, except like a milimeter off the sides. it goes down to the bottom of the bezel and is on the top of the bezel (has cutouts fro the camera and the light sensor)
Since I hate shiny screens, I used the same protector film as I have on my ipad2:
Speck Matte :
http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Product...SHKC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1322019483&sr=8-1
I can probably make about 6 Rezound sized screen protectors from 1 sheet (the pack comes with 2 sheets...but 1 is on my ipad 2). I made using the crappy screen that came with the otterbox case as a template. Dhen you think you have it the EXACT right size, cut about 1/2 (half) a millimeter off all sides, otherwise you will get hung up on the edges and perpetual bubbles where the film catches the inner "edge/lip".
The matte film lasts long, is fingerprint/smudge resistant, and THANK GOD, its matte (not shiny).
Just be sure you REALLY clean the screen well prior to application, go slow and work out all the bubbles, and do it in a DUST/lint free environment (like a humid bathroom) or a cleanroom (if you have access to one).
god i HATE screen protectors! less than 12 hours on and this stupid ass thing has a damn scratch already. it's only been in my pocket ONCE since putting it on, and it was in there b yitself!
these things scratch if you put it on velvet. that's why i hate screen protectors lol i have a feeling i'll be taking this thing off in a day.
How scratch resistant is the screen? I had always used a screen protector with my Droid X (Steinhiel ultra clear). I hate them though but I am so OCD if I got a scratch on my screen it would drive me crazy. I would like to go without one cause the screen looks so much better.
just checked Steinheil and Phantom Skinz. Both dont have one yet. I emailed them both asking when we ca see it. They are the only ones I have ever used.
I refuse to use ZAGG/ Invisible shield

I bought the Verizon Screen Protector as a stop gap until better products hit the market. Unfortunately that was money wasted. It felt too slick and gave that rainbow effect whenever viewing anything with white background. Like oil on water, I guess because of the anti-glare treatment. I pulled it of after 1 day.
I just hope GhostArmor gets some skins out soon.
I'm looking for one that helps alleviate the fingerprints the most if anyone has any suggestions. I have a Zagg on my Bolt and I don't mind it but I want something a little less orange peel for the Rezound.

I think that the matte/orange peel/egg shell type textures do the most to make fingerprints less noticeable, but I don't know of any screen protectors that flat out repel fingerprints (oils and stuff). That would be really cool though.

Gorilla glass not so tough...

Sorry need to vent and before anyone asks, I have ordered some accessories already, no ones got anything locally. So here goes my story.... By accident I dropped my phone on a mat and it bounced lightly and hit the gym floor, I was sitting down so my phone was only about 12" from the mat. Anyways long story short I have a nice 4mm scratch on my screen...
I have had a few phones with gorilla glass thats been dropped harder and no scratches.. Like my infuse that got its housing dented and landed face down. (wasn't my fault, friend dropped it) Im so pissed right now, this thing is only 2 days old.

It is possible to scratch Gorilla Glass; Corning's marketing materials call it "scratch resistant". My Photon 4G has Gorilla Glass and the previous owner managed to scratch it.

You could have dropped it on some miniscule piece of sharp metal or something... who knows.
That first scratch is always the worst ;(
Man, sorry to hear about your GNote. I would be distraught. Everyone be careful with your new phones! AND get your screen protectors on.
First cut is the deepest
Could it be possible that the scratch happened from another incident where you wouldn't expect damage at all and you never really noticed till you dropped it then closely examined it? For example.. Sliding it into your jeans pocket while the face of the phone scrapes along the copper stud at the top of the fob/ticket/watch pocket (the small one)...
That has totally happened to me a long time ago with my blackberry, was PISSED that I had a long ass scratch on my screen and was puzzled as to how it came to be. Until I slide it in my pocket only to notice it happen again and realized lol
But, again, that was just an example of a seemingly harmless but destructful act.
I was going to say you must have a nice gym where the floor is made of diamonds...
Sorry about the scratch, tho. Your scratch looks just like mine - which I can't actually see if the display is on. Hopefully yours isn't too bad.
I don't see how because you happened to scratch your screen it equates to the device not having gorilla glass at all. Its not indestructible ya' know.

To be fair, though, your post title looks like you're trolling. I'd suggest changing it if you can...nothing wrong with venting, but spreading misinformation is kind of uncool even though you're frustrated (and I can definitely relate to that). Maybe "Gorilla Glass isn't as tough as I thought..." and then show an HD video of the vball game shot with your Note just because you can.

My Captivate is 1 1/2 years old. I've never had a screen protector near it. I've dropped the thing a dozen times, it even slid 15 feet on it's face on an asphalt covered hill. I stuck it in and out of my pocket over 1,000 times and it doesn't have one scratch on the glass.
I was really hoping we would get the same protection on the Note.
Guess I am going to re-think the whole screen protector thing. Bummer!

WTF!! Is Gorilla Glass 2 in SGS3 that easy to break???

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...ss-2-display-suffers-the-consequences_id30627
"That Gorilla Glass is pretty tough is something we are well aware of. Smartphone manufacturers know that too, which is why they use it to protect their devices' displays against every day wear and tear. This year, the latest evolution of this scratch-resistant material, called Gorilla Glass 2, made it into consumer devices offering the same great level of protection despite being 20% thinner.
Yet Gorilla Glass 2 is not indestructible, as a Samsung Galaxy S III owner found out just recently. And he found it out the hard way, unfortunately, after his smartphone fell out of his pocket face-down. The result is well visible at the photo to the right – a photo, which nerds that are weak at heart might find quite disturbing.
So, even if your smartphone has a scratch-resistant display, you still need to handle it with care. Otherwise, you might end up being in the shoes of this unlucky Galaxy S III owner, who now has to spend $350 on repair fees in order to get the broken display fixed."

Its pure luck. Ive seem gorilla glass phone slammed down hard onto gravel with no damage, others are dropped lightly and they shatter, it just depends on how it lands really. I scratched my Dell Streak dropping it onto a wood floor!
Guys please, glass is still glass, even if it is made from Gorilla or something.
My S2 dropped many times with screen facing ground and nothing happened.. It's pure look i assume..
Yeah me to, my S2 has been dropped on a hard tiled floor, no marks at all.
it depends on how it dropped..just dropping face down wont break easily [forget gorilla even reguler phones wont break]..
my guess is Impact is on edge
Not cheap either, screen & digitizer are $259.00 on the bay.
You can notice the impact on the bottom right but I think it may have bounced somewhere and fell even further. Anyway I really doubt this was a normal drop at all, I've seen a Nokia lumia 900 using a gorilla corning glass being used as a hammer and tortured with a nail and I just don't believe this story.
The S2 has a tiny lip around the screen which absorbs shock into the casing, the S3 lacks this and the edges smooth outwards with the glass making any fall damage face front direct contact with the glass. Trading functionality for ergonomics.
LMFAO! Yes of course it is! I thought the word "GLASS" gave it away. It's not a shock absorbing plastic...

The screen breaks quite bad. I don't think is a normal fall from waist level.
Sent from my Incredible S using XDA
Not surprising at all. At the end of the day, its just glass, and all glass has a breaking point.
Depends how you really landed it at the end. Thats why you should always buy a cheap case and it'll be safe
Btw, Gorilla Glass 2 is the same as Gorilla Glass '1' in strength, just thinner.
What does this discovery tell us about? Be careful, it's not indestructible
Sad for the owner, he got it that early and breaks it immediately. It's like buying a supercar and bangs it through the next concrete after three curves...
resistant doesn't mean tank-proof. Strange it has broken only fallen from the pocket.

Why S3 is like cheap toy?

Hi.
I've been my S3 from 3 weeks. In the last week my phone was dropped to the floor from 1 meters!
SIII is **** not phone because digitizer is smashed now and I must pay for repair! (30% of value phone). What I should do now? Sell this phone? Or hide and don't use?!

Listen mate....I'm going to put you straight on one point here, so you just accept a few facts.
YOU dropped your phone, not Samsung, not anyone here, accept it and deal with it and take responsibility for your actions......and YES, you do need a case for your car if you are a rubbish driver and keep crashing......see the similarity?
This is what it is made of materials that cell, S1 and S2, so many times I fell down (on the asphalt, the tiles) and it worked, and S3, and the time it collapsed!

Conclusion: buy a good quality case.
Hell my case doesnt even cover the screen and is just on sides. Guess im luckier than others.

I don't believe in cases, I've had three smartphones and all three are working to date without cases. My first smartphone was the HTC Wildfire and when i first got it i also bought a $10 Hard case for it, one day my friend accidentally kicked the phone out of my hand and on the floor, the case shattered but the phone was intact. Since then I dont use any kind of case on my phones. On the S3 i use an screenprotector and an clear skin protector for the back(because it scratches easily), I have dropped it several times from a height of 1m-1,5m and the phone doesent even have a scratch on it. Either my phone is stronger than yours in some way or I'm just lucky

I've had the 9H for 2-3 months now and mine has started to lift a little. It started last week and stretches from the upper left hand corner to the edge of the glass directly above the Samsung S.
It's no better than a $7 one from ebay and their CS is far from impressive.
Try the MIME USA Feather Glass, rated 9H and .15mm thick. Mine has been on for a couple of months and still looks brand new.

It's no better than a $7 one from ebay and their CS is far from impressive.

I totally agree i had issues with gs3 model. Thankfully amazon took care of it for me because the customer service does suck
hello. im using yoobao tempered glass protector. maybe it is not familiar brand compared to others,but suprisingly it feels very very good for me. also included in the package 3home button stickers (white,black and red).

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with this?

Reviews on Amazon seem fairly positive.
It's $25 free s/h, cheaper than Spigen and more reviews.

Flossy Carter made a review of this on youtube if you want to check it out!
I used the MIME Ghost Glass on my S4 and was amazing so I bought it for the Note 3 and I'm loving it as well. Plus lifetime warranty. It ever breaks... It's half price to replace as many times as you need to.
Thing about those lifetime warranties is that you could buy at least 2 generic ebay ones for the price of one MIME replacement (or w/e brand).
Yeah but they are better. The cheap ones a lot of the time don't add the oleophobic coating they start to look bad in a short amount of time. My S4 looks today like it did it did when i put it on back in June.
ive been using the iloome one for over a month now and it gets scratched REAL easy. then again ive been trying to see just how scratch resistant it is by sliding it around on a smooth table face down. and yeah it scratches SO easy wow. i havent tried other ones but im sure they all do.

No problems. But I do use the magnetic accessory from a spigen that holds the cover closed. The cover was able to stay closed before I used this magnetic addition, however after prolonged use (being flipped open and folded over) it would have a tendency to not lay flat on the screen. This was always a tendency of the S view cover and not due to the glass screen protector.

Im leaning more towards Mime but im not sure which to get. Feather or ghost glass? In their website it shows they both have different cutouts on top. Is that the case or are they both cut the same?

I have had this a month and it is crystal clear and works great with S Pen. I use this with Zero Lemon 10000 mAh battery. Great together. Shout out to Flossy for his reviews!
