Just letting you know, the back panel isn't removable on this phone. (Unless you like voiding warranty)

It is removable, there are two screws on the bottom and the back cover is held down by clips around the frame. I have never used warranty on anything so voiding warranty doesn't bother me.

Otter Box is normally the case i would go for but with this phone i wanted to show it off!!
Would be nice if Otterbox made some sort of announcement regarding the new Sonys. Can't imagine what state my current phone would be in without one of their cases on it.

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 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 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.

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.

So my DNA was sitting on the bedside table last night and my girls cat pulled the charger cable and knocked it off of the table. When it fell it hit the leg of the table on the top left-hand corner and shattered the screen. I am having digitezer issues now and it is very annoying. Does anyone know where I can get the screen replaced? If that's even possible.
Thanks for any help.

It doesn't appear too bad to do. I'd suggest getting a "frame" and the adhesive as well. Separating them seems to be the hardest step.
Also get a tool kit.

bought my Fit at Best Buy and purchased the protection plan. i generally dont do that but for 2 years it covers anything that happens to it so not having to worry about anything sounded like a good purchase. the cost was $29

I am not a big fan of Best Buy but have to say that it is hard to beat their Gear Fit insurance. No hassles of mailing, just walk into any store and get the replacement. I bought my Fit from AT&T coz of the 25% offer so I had to go with SquareTrade. Paid $35.

Usb cover is what I know it as.
Dust and water resistance is it's only purpose and you can use it without it.
They go for about 6$ on eBay for a replacement

OEM part for USB cover
Here is the original OEM part from a source other than eBay, just in case that one disappears. Simply unscrew the little retainer above the broken cover and put this one in.
IP67 fully restored.

Mine broke today. I didn't want to deal with refurbs so I don't want to replace the whole phone. I still thought I should stop at a tmobile store and see what they could do. To my surprise, they had a returned S5 and were willing to take the cover off of that one and put it on the new one. The other sad part is they said I wasn't the first one to have this issue. Apparently it's pretty common. I'm pretty disappointed in Samsung.

You are correct. They should send a permanent part that will snap shut... to everyone... for free. Seriously.
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah I have noticed that if you are not really careful with it they do tend to break easily
When opening it you need to open along the lines with the hinge and keeping it parallel with the screen and shouldn't have any issues.
'But if it is twisted above or below the phone at all or anything beyond the straight in or out it will break after a little repetition.
