Well, i finally dropped it. I wa sitting down and the phone was sitting in my pocket. (Small pockets+big phone, not a good idea). When i got up it slipped out of my pocket and rolled a bunch of times. Luckily, nothing happened to the screen bt the bezel is chipped pretty bad on 3/4 corners. Just wanna know, will samsung replace it? How much will it be? And is there any other alternate solution thats cheaper?
Thanks

Hey, really sorry to hear that!
Ok now i don't think samsung will do anything unless it's a mistake from their side. Still you can go and ask them and if they agree with to change the bezel then very good! I am pretty inexperienced about this thing but telling you from what I've heard and seen. If they don't agree then you might have to pay them to change the bezel.

Also, replacing the bezel might be expensive. I read that it's attached to the screen.

Yeah, that sucks
But honestly, i dont know why samsung used so much plastic on a premium device. The bezel couldve been made out of something much stronger. Look at the iphone 5, i know it lacks in software but i gotta give it to apple, they made it out of very strong and materials.

Have you not read all the bad reviews about the iPhone 5 chipping on the corners of the bezel? Just search Google

What's your honest opinion of this phone? Should I wait for something coming up? Also looking at LG Nitro HD... Thoughts?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium
Its a good all rounded fone. Its up to you does it fit your needs?
Which ever fone you do get will be surpassed by something better why keep up with the Jones..
I say go into a store and try out the handsets you have in mind and go from there...
As of now, buy one. By April or so, I'd say wait for the SGS3

The only con I've seen so far with this phone is that it doesn't have gorilla glass. Anything else? I see some good devs.

I'm pretty sure it does have gorilla glass.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I think it is advertised as having gorilla glass. It is sturdy that's for sure. You can check some youtube videos on sgs2 drop tests.
After more than half a year in the market, I don't think there is any phone that can match the SGS2 and with a healthy modding community, it really is the phone to get if you are looking for one now.

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium
honestly unless you paid a lot for the case i say just get a new one. being the type of plastic it is most chemicals would probably damage it. they are cheap enough to get new one.
Ok thanks everybody, I can try bleach but I'msure the smell would stick. No it's not expensive. Another one wouldn't be too bad. I remember something about a solution that you could spray on but couldn't find it. Thanks again!
btw hit the thanks button for you all!

Buy a black one? Or a different brand?
I know, not really a solution, but a cover that changes color within a few weeks or months ... can't be made with very good material.

I the best price i have seen for a Screen without the bumper is 249 300+ with the bumper around the screen.
its not really hard to change out either. Changing just the bumper is harder than changing just the screen, especially if the other screen is cracked and you are not trying to save it.
parts are out there though.
i have dropped mine 7 times now, and plan on throwing it against the wall here in about a month and getting square trade to give me another device, or the replacement cost.

Ha ha, well stupidity is one thing I just can't tolerate, if people choose not to educate themselves and instead insist in posting stupid stuff on xda I'm forced to say something. Stupidity is a choice!
But a straight up accident of this magnitude after only 10 mins of having the phone is no laughing matter, accidents happen and in this case I feel for the guy.

I have got the answer for you, this is what you must do,
1. Buy an S3 display + digitizer from ebay:
2. Follow this video tutorial:

So I think it's been about a year since I remember those threads popping up with white note users seeing pressure cracks around their screen. I was one of them and just unfortunately accepted it. I figured a little crack was no big deal.
But.. how many do you have now?
I'm at 16.

No pictures? I have a black one and want to see what you guys are talking about.
None on my white note... I guess I got lucky
None on mine either....
I'm up to 9 cracks on my white Note. This is the 2nd one too.
I've had an otter box on my white note since I got it went to a bar out in Oakland and dropped it down an impressive flight of stairs. I now have a nice two inch crack from speaker to front camara. Phone still works like a champ though.

If you don't notice them on yours then not worth looking for. Once you see them you can't un-see them lol.
No cracks on my white note screen but there are 2 cracks on the white plastic around the screen. One buy the volume keys and one by the head phone jack.
