While testing out some lighting I handed the phone to a friend to see how well the camera handles different types of lighting. Needless to say it slipped out of his hands when he jumped from a wasp frightening him. Drop from a little higher than waist high, but it did slide a little. Touch screen still works, but some pieces of glass did fall off (it chipped in layers- there's still glass just seems to be missing the top layer on some parts of the crack.
Photos to be up soon just got my replacement from asurion in ~3 days (was quoted 10-14). It's also new not a refurb . Otterbox on its way also.
Most surprising part was how badly the edge got muffed up was expecting the metal (aluminum?) piece to be a little harder and not this soft.
Focus goes really bad here sorry. The next one shows the crack went all the across the screen I think it spread after a day.
This one shows how badly the bezel got scratched up.
And the phone barely fits in the asurion envelope
All these drop reports which I blame the smooth metal makes me feel good I bought a case day of purchase

It was my fault for handing the phone to a friend without any protection on it . Although the back is pretty smooth I like to blame the thinness of the phone.

Didn't have my dslr handy and couldn't get my new El Tevo to focus for its life...
They shouldn't be too small try clicking on them they're thumbnails.
Thanks for sharing and I'm happy to hear the insurance handled your claim so quickly. I am also thankful for these pictures as they made me extra assured that having a case and screen protector on is a good choice for me.
Oh and for those wondering it was a garage floor- smooth concrete no epoxy on it or anything.

$100.
I called sprint before setting up the claim on phoneclaim to make sure because I too thought it was $150. Didn't want to muck anything up by asking about the $150. But still it's amazing how the asurion guy quoted sprint (who then told me) I'd get it within 10-14 days because they had no stock but instead got it in 3.
EDIT:
Just said bye to the old El Tevo it went out to the mail today.

I wish Sprint and Asurion would change the pricing based on past usage of the program. If you haven't replaced a phone in X months/years, then you should get Y% off of your premium/deductible. I am debating another option because $11/mth is just ridiculous.

Even with a bad ESN the phone is worth something. Plus from what I've read a lot of people claim the phone as lost or stolen in the insurance claim for things like cracked screens wait ~30 days then post it up for sale or call and claim they found it and try to get it taken of the esn blacklist... Also suprsingly the asurion envelopes don't have tracking #s...

I got my 3d for free technically. My local Walmart has it for 98 bucks and at the time (i think theyre still doing this) they are giving 100 dollar gift cards to anyone that gets a smartphone... So basically they paid me 2 bucks to take it off their hands. Being that this is my second one i was scared itd be hboot 1.5 but apparently back home no one buys sprint phones because coverage is spotty at best..... So i ended up getting it with hboot 1.3
And to they guy debating on epic touch or 3d... Id recommend the 3d if you like custom roms. There are a lot more options with roms, kernels, and overclocking with the 3d. I had it and wasnt overly impressed except for the gorgeous display. Damn i love those amoleds.

Don't you have to renew your contract though? I mean it's not like you can just buy the phone for that price without renewing or signing a new contract....?
So I had to do a claim because my charger port is shot and they don't have any 3Ds to send me. I went ahead and had the phone shipped because I neeeeeed my phone, but I'm pretty upset. Am I totally screwed with a pos Samsung or do I have any options ? Buying a new phone full price isn't possible right now but I am thinking about switching carriers

I am in the same boat as well. I've cracked my second Evo 3D within 2 months of each other. I haven't cracked any of my previous phones over the past 9 years, but I've had bad luck with my 3D lol. I am also about to drop Sprint for Verizon due to coverage at and near my house, basically non-existant. I moved from Hawaii to DC because of being Military and where I am at now sucks big time. I've been here for a while and have tried the airwave thing, but my area sucks in general. I have a Verizon blackberry for work and it always has reception where my Evo and Evo3D does not. Also, has anyone else had this happen to them?

That sucks you dropped your evo. I had mine without a case for a couple days but I went and picked up an otterbox defender today.
Can anyone link to anything that says the deductible is different then $100? I haven't heard this yet. I don't have TEP on my girls Evo LTE bc I don't do a ton of deving/modding on her phone like I do my own, but with my own I carry TEP because I go through two phones a year or so and it's worth it for me... Heard the monthly fee was going up but not the deductible.

Otter Box Defender is the only way to go. I bought one for my last Evo and will not own another phone again without one. Well worth the $50, cheaper than a deductible and it has to sustain one hell of an impact to cause any damage. The built-in screen protector works pretty damn good too.
It makes the phone bigger but I think it sits in my pockets better when I go to sit down. You know, not sliding down and weighing down your pocket when you are driving or sitting down to eat.

If you never used your protection plan once then u can go into the store and have them do a standard return the u get a prorated charge back. If you used it once then u can't get a refund but the protection is good for your phone for 2 years from date of purchase.
I bought it on my phone and I got rid of it in 6 months. I ended up getting $146 back. This was before I started working at best buy.

I'm going to try the Commuter. I have a feeling the Defender is just going to make an already big phone way too bulky.
ok so i got this phone on the 5th i believe and ever since that day i have had a case on it but today i was with some people and they wanted to see how it looked without a case. so i took it off and gave it to him and while he was looking at it he turned to me and said "is this supposed to be bent?" so in shock i look at my phone and sure enough the metal bar or strip i guess you would say that is under the home button by the mic is dented toward the back of the phone. since im very careful with my phones and haven't dropped this phone at all and my og evo thats 2 years old doesn't have a scratch on it so i can't figure out where it came from.
so would i be able to take it to the sprint store i got it from and replace it? its just one of those things that once you saw it, it can't be unseen and its driving me absolutely nuts
isn't replacement only valid for 14 days ?
i had my evo 4g lte and 2 days after using it , it went dead.

Return to cancel is 14 days, replacement/exchange is 30 days
So you're going to take back what I'm guessing is a perfect running phone, cause a thin metal strip is slightly bent? Dude if you have no clue how it bent, then I'm sure eventually the new phone will probly bent at some point. Regarless I think you only had 14 days anyways and I'm sure the sprint store will blame you for the bent strip. I say put it and the case and forget it.

dropped the phone and it fell flat on it's face....my replacement came in today and I'm gonna have to exchange it as it has gap issues and the power button is flush with the phone.

**** man that really blows....
Well my note 2 don't have any issues whatsoever and personally find it to still be the best phone for me, over this one and the s4.
Maybe learn something and put a case on it....

I have to disagree the H1 blows the N2 out the agua! And I'm not going to cover up this phone with a hunk of plastic. That's what insurance is for.

the insurance plans are actually a rip off. you have a large deductible on top of a monthly plan... if you don't pay the deductible to replace it at some point you will effectively pay an extra 50% the cost of the phone for no reason. If you do use the insurance plan, you have bought 2 phones instead of one..
buy one phone, learn to take care of your one phone, and you won't be blowing money on "insurance" plans.

This is the reason my insurance plan is a Nexus 4. It's a fixed $300 IF it's needed compared to the $5-$8 a month + $150 deductible. On top of this, they send you a frikkin refurb. I have yet to damage a smartphone in 4 years. I've saved over $672 for me & my wife's phones by not paying $14/month to cover 2 phones.

Love to know how it 'blows it out the aqua?'
While the One's build quality is nicer, it isn't any faster than my N2. Now if you go off specs, I suppose so, but real world experience and can't tell much of a difference, they all feel pretty quick.
Also, enjoy the broken screens and waiting on replacements and what not. I'd rock a case on any phone and still have insurance just in case. These phones are almost as expensive as mid grade PC's, so not taking the chance. You can go right ahead and play in that pipers pit!

Seems like I hurt someone's feelings.....
But it's my opinion, a note 2 with touchwiz out the box is sluggish, it's only when you root and install a Rom is when it gets better.
the HTC one out the box feels so much smoother. I have rooted and installed custom roms every device I owned since the G1 to the note 2. But not this phone, I feel no need to.
So to me the HTC one wins over the note 2. As far as broken screens, this is my first time every cracking a screen like that, I take care of all my phone's, but I'm a truck driver and I forgot to put back my phone on the mount and the result was a six foot drop flat on it's face. I bet I won't do that again......
I waited one day for the phone asurion next day aired it for free. HTC one ftw!
