After using this phone.. Has anyone tried looking at a flat phone and see the corners bending backwards? I know they're not but the flex has made my eyes seem like the corner of other phones look like they're bending away from me.
Give me some of that stuff your smokin. Hehe

Omg I thought it was just me! For a while, every time I used my Nexus 4 it looked bent to the back until my eyes got used to it. With a case on the Flex, (or at least my case) the curve is less prominent so it helps if you switch to a flat phone every now and then.

I haven't noticed the bending backwards, but when I picked up my wife's iPhone 5s, I couldn't believe how small it is! I was afraid I was going to break it. Pictures looked bad, because they were so small, items were hard to click on, it was horrible!
Heck try using a iPhone 4 it blew my mind almost thought it was fake cause it was so small.but any phone I look at not beside the flex seems to look like its bending out

I told this to my friend when I was using his note 2. The corners look like they're bending out and theres a ball in the center. So weird. kind of like convex and our phones are concave

Yes that's right my less than 24 hour old one is broken. There is a hairline crack that runs from home button to heaphone jack. By the home button there is another small crack too.
The phone was not dopped at all and has been in otterbox commuter, and pretty bc much in my hands all day. I was holding the phone and all of the sudden it cracked. I'm really just at a loss for words and dumbfounded at how this happened.

I understand it sounds ridiculous, I ran a phone store for many years and heard stories and saw things I wish I didn't. One guy hands me his phone said it doesn't work, I asked if it got wet and he tells me that his cow ate it and then threw it back up again. We go through a lot of purell. I've never had someone tell me it just broke while holding it and trying to take a screen shot, but that's what happened.
I love the phone, it was running without hiccups all day. I don't want a different phone, but I don't want to be looking at a long road of replacements either and I think most of us can agree on that, so I had to share my experience.

The way the crack is so hairline and straight it does seem believable some freak pressure point could have caused this. I have a good feeling we won't be seeing any more of these stories though =P

I'm pretty sure it was from pressing the home button, I was having some of the issues with the home and back not working properly. If you are having those issues too I would try to get and exchange while you can, hopefully this is just a freak accident.

That's not a crack in the screen. It looks like a line of pixels went out. Who's replacing it for you? Sprint? Walk into a store and tell them this happened out of nowhere. If you're still within 14 days, they have to replace it.

It is the internal LCD that is broken, not the outer glass. Sprint is giving me a fight but they will replace it, just sucks waiting and getting the run around. The more I use the phone the worse it's getting.

From the picks it doesn't look physically broken at all, it looks like, what someone else said, like a strip of pixels died. So, that could be a bad flex cable or a screen defect. maybe the otterbox was warping the phone? was it a snug fit?
I hate to be that guy, but I'll be the second story of "my screen actually did break and I have no idea how".
I will admit, the phone did take a drop off a couch on to tile; but no screen damage was done, just a slight scuff on the landing zone. That was 2 days ago.
Yesterday i'm out with some friends, doing some gardening at his place, and I pull out my phone and there's a hairline crack from the volume buttons to the home button, I'll update with a picture when I find my camera. And now today, when i woke up, I was using my phone and noticed some stuck pixles on the middle top of the screen. I bought the phone on the third and I'm not sure if this kind of thing should be covered or not; if it's even worht calling or going into sprint?
EDIT: LINK TO ALBUM HERE
I couldn't get the pixle since they are so damn small and i don't have a macro lens for the camera.
I don't even know how it could have happend while it was in my pocket or from the fall(last picture) since it wasn't broken at all that day.
I reveretd to stock rom without SU but we cannot removed the tamper markings if i contact sprint what do i do about that?
I am going to agree and say that is a pixel issue. Glass does not crack like that or a LCD screen unless it is intentionally scored.

this is what I was going to say... I wonder if the case put some kind of pressure on the phone that damaged it or messed with the ribbon cable? or just bad QC
Welp broke the screen on my second phone now. Man if you drop these phones on the corner, the screen Is guaranteed to break. Anyone else have a similar experience? I do have a case on these phones by the way.
ive been lucky, dropped mine a few times and its still good, case is pretty beat up but rather it be beat up than the phone.
That sucks man! I guess I have a good case, I've dropped mine a bunch.....first few times I kinda freaked, now nothing happens, and I pick it up! Sorry for your loss.

I have a Otterbox Commuter on mine, and it has seen the concrete floor at work several times without consequence. Invest in a better case.
I spilled bong water on mines and my girl scratched it a little with my keys over top speaker other than that no drop damage and trust it's seen it's fair share. #TOUGH

Yea even a thin case around the phone will prevent this from happening - it will absorb a lot of impact since its a compressible material...
basically w/o a case if u drop it on the front corners it will likely crack the screen
This is because the impact is abosorbed by the metal- which will not compress, it will just push all the force down to the glass screen and crack it.. if they just had a little bit of rubber or plastic between the metal and the glass it would alleviate the impact enough so that the screen wont crack as easily.
I power slammed my phone and the screen broke. HTC makes crappy phones. I'm buying a iPhone

Hey everyone. Just wanted some opinions on whether your going to put a case on this device or not? I am usually a case guy, but I think I'm going to find it hard to cover up such a gorgeous phone!! Also, do u use screen protectors on this device? Haven't used a protector for the last few phones I've had, GS4, LGG2.

I am having the same problem, too slippery for me to feel comfortable without a case. I also have big hands, so it is a little small for me to hold comfortably without a case. I also find I really miss the kickstand that my previous two phones had, so I am thinking about getting one of the cases that include a kickstand.
I always advocate playing safe cell phone, so I wrap it up. However, with my M7, I will take it out of the case while at work because our floors are carpeted.
One thing though: I'm waiting for the silver M8 to come out on Sprint before upgrading because self-proclaimed "careful" people in the unlocked One forum are reporting scratches on the gold and gray versions. The stock silver One has no coating to scratch.

For the first time since my HTC Hero (which I ended up getting Ghost Armor on), I'm going without a case.
Didn't HTC say they would replace a broken screen for free within the first 6 months too?
I never had a case on my M7, but I went through 4 of them for different malfuctions, and each one wound up having a dented corner or scratched up grill. So considering this one is even heavier, I know the damage will be worse.

I feel quite relieved to see that video, but want to see tests by people out there too (and want to put a sock in Bendgaters).
Apple needed to justify there poor design so tried to take some heat away and mock Sammy for a gap which I may add is on most phones to allow for glass to fit in between the frame. Good to see Samsung showing the phone is of high build quality and proving it scientifically. Apple messed up but will never admit it as well.as all the isheeps. I love my Z2 but isheeps are very worrying people. Almost like a cult.
