It's very small and is in the upper right hand corner. Is there a possibility of it disintegrating after a while?
My 14 day exchange ends a week from tomorrow so hopefully I won't need to relock the boot loader for one little particle but will if I have to.

Ugh, I hope that isn't an issue. I was constantly getting me Evo 3d replaced because dust got under the screen. It never went away.
Say what?!?
Well, I am a carpenter and Work on a dusty environment. I was always getting dust under the screen. Hasn't happened on any phone since that pos though.

Basically I finally got my rma email today fit my extern deportation issue in the top upper left corner. To my luck I got a scratch on the lower right side of screen.
Should I ..
A: just suck it up and live with minor screen creek in corner and scratch. Next time install screen protector!
B: send it in for my rma based on the screen lift issue and hope they don't reject based on this scratch. What's the penalty/cost for getting a rejected rma?
Im pissed because google took their sweet time at getting back at me so I couldn't install screen protector. Almost sure I am going to get a warranty from square trade now and getting a pelican case. Oyyyyy veeeyyy

There have been so many posts about broken glass and mysterious breakage, etc. Because of this I feel it's only fair to have a thread where people can post close calls where the glass did not break.
Last night my phone feel off the top of a beauro onto cement! Was in my basement. When I heard it land I did not even want to pick it up because I was sure it was gone. I had just taken the case off to clean it after getting some dirty fingerprints on it. I had a flash back of reading all those broken glass threads.
I picked it up and I could not believe it! There is just a very small scratch that can barely be seen on the chrome bezel. The phone was laying on its face when I picked it up and was covered with dirt and sand. I was careful not to slide it at all and instead of wiping it I went into my garage and blew it off with the air compressor. I then cleaned it as I usually do with a lightly damp cloth, the ones you get for cleaning eye glasses.
I literally spent 15 minutes going over the glass and the entire phone under a bright light to look for damage and there is not a single scratch on the glass.
I am usually very careful but there have been a couple times I have had the phone in my pocket with keys and one time a metal flashlight even and still not even a small scratch on the glass.
I have had other phones and have had an iPod touch, other tablets without gorilla glass and all of them had very minor surface scratches that could be seen under light. This glass is durable and pretty awesome at stopping scratches.
I think one simple way any phone can be scratched though is either when cleaning or even using the phone with dirty hands. All it takes is some very small sand particles on your finger or on your even when you clean it. Make sire your hand are always clean and the screen too and you should have no problem with scratches. As for breakage, I have had 3 drops so far, 2 of them fairly bad drops so I guess it just depends on how it lands but overall I have found this phone very durable despite being made of glass.
Anyone else want to share?

I dropped mine twice on hard ground. I had a bumper though. People are just neglectful and unwilling to take responsibility for their own actions.

Although the glass didn't break I think it's structure is somewhat damaged. In many drop test I have watched, it usually shatter at the third times.
Mine have dropped twice without damage to the glass but I think I better be careful from now on cause the third time may not be nice like the other two.

Yeah I saw that video a couple weeks ago and thought the same thing. For it to basically be an all glass phone it held up well. That was the main reason I decided to just use a bumper instead of a back covering case. I figured if it can hold up to the back and side drop like that, a bumper should be fine for me (I'm not rough on my devices).
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The front panel is mostly glass but the back is made out of plastic and covered in glass. What is amazing is if you take the phone apart you can see just how thin the rear glass is. Crazy thin!

Out of curiosity, which bumper are you guys using? I am using the official bumper btw.
I had kept my phone for charging on a table(unfortunately close to the edge ) about 1m in height . 3 missed calls later it was on the floor(tiled floor) and I heard the sound when it fell down. It was on its back with the front facing up and I thought it had cracked for sure. Turned it around to see no damage at all no dents on the chrome too . all I had on the phone was the glass protector for the back that comes with the phone.

... All the negative posts here about fragile glass are from Apple shills spreading FUD.
Every time a new nexus model arrives, there is a flood of suspiciously similar complaints threads that have no real bearing on reality. However it usually does the trick and achieves their aim.
I have dropped mine a couple of times from a couple of feet up and I have no serious damage to report.

I was lucky too. I just got to my girl friends house and had my nex4 on top of my nex10. I had placed them on top of a table on a balcony in the second floor of her house. Her little sister came running and grabbed my nex10 and the nex4 that was on top flew away to the ground from the second floor. And absolutely nothing happened to it. Maybe cus it landed on grass. But still there where rocks that it could gotten really badly damaged.

my phone also took a nice hit, the diztronic hard shell cracked right open. not a single scratch on the phone!
Wow!! Your n4 was mating with your n10 and took a drop from the second floor!! You are so lucky it landed on grass.

I just dropped mine from chair height was sitting down it slid of my lap fell on tiles and cracked the front screen the screen no longer functions so sad' back to the gs3 .... I miss pure Google I miss my nexus 4 I'm waiting to see what this Motorola x phone is and if I don't like it I'll get another nexus 4. I'm happy you all had your ones survive but I'm shattered just like my screen, I'm going into the shower to curl up in a ball and cry.

Dropped mine from about five feet onto marble. There is a 1/4" dent in the chrome bezel. Front and back glass still look new!

i dropped mine down the stairs and onto a concrete floor and mine didn't break
Background: I owned the Nexus S, and Galaxy Nexus as daily drivers.
This is my first glass backed phone - but not until I finally removed the plastic film from it recently, did I realise how problematic it is.
In short:
DON'T LEAVE THIS PHONE ON ANY SURFACE NOT PERFECTLY LEVEL.
I mean, the slightest incline and your phone will slowly make it's way to jumping off the edge.
I had never dropped my phone in the few months since release, and the week I take off the plastic, it has hit the floor 3 times.
Once it did it over the course of a few hours in the middle of the night, from the flat night table next to the bed.
The other day, off a counter ledge in the bathroom.
Just now, from atop the microwave in the kitchen.
Each time, nothing was moving or near the phone, and it fell off seconds or minutes after putting it down. No vibration or anything occured either, which would surely expedite the falling.
If you put this phone down on a not-level surface (ie, anything that would cause a ball to roll) you can watch it ever so gradually slide and move around. I can't even put it on a short stack of 6 pieces of paper on my desk without it slipping off before long. I'm telling you these are surfaces that you wouldn't know weren't level if not for this phone treating it like an ice skating rink. Nothing has ever fallen off of them, previously.
I hate it. I wouldn't change the phone to another, but still. Frictionless glass backing SUCKS.
Oh, and luckily no cracks or damage. So far. But I've learned my lesson and now have to wall it in with other objects it can't move past.
Now i know

Whilst I recommend a case for pretty much everyone else I know, I'm careful enough to go "naked" and appreciate the phone as designed. It's just an adjustment in this case, and I don't anticipate it falling ever again.
A stupid adjustment I shouldn't have to make, but there you go.
Your physics concepts are fu**ed up,if there is no friction,the phone would be slipping away from your hands every seconds already,go back to school to study man. In your situation,it is called lesser friction.

In other news, walking on gravel without shoes hurts and standing outside when it's snowing will make you cold.
Yes, it's got a shiny back and yes, funnily this makes it more likely to slide off things.
If it bothers you, get a bumper. I did and it doesn't slide around now. I also bought shoes for the snow and that fixed my feet too.

Hahaha yeah my physics are just so CRAZY. It couldn't merely be my writing, you know: using a word that conveys the relative amount of friction, rather than scientifically correct terminology. Get over yourself.
And whilst we're at it, unless you were somehow holding the phone only by its "frictionless" back, it wouldn't slip out of your hands, now would it? Oh, the irony of your terrible post.

New moderator?
We had plenty of rant threads, no need to open another one.
So yes, thread locked.
It literally appeared today. At first I thought it was a dead pixel but it's not completely black it's gray and also I looked at it with a magnifier and it's not square it's like a blob.
Is there any way to get it out or something without taking the phone apart? Since it got there randomly today and wasn't there out-of-box.

Dust shouldnt get under the screen so bring it back.

It's miniscule and they will probably think I'm crazy what if they don't give me a new one, no solutions?

They way the screen is manufactured should prevent any dust form ever getting inside the screen. There is a special "goo" that is filled in between the gap of the lcd and digitizer. Any dust in the screen was left there in the manufacturing process. I had the same issue, I just went to the place I bought the phone and exchanged it. Now I am happy.
I actually have a speck under my screen too. I've only had my One a little over a week and I noticed it a few days ago when I decided to check for dead pixels since a few people have had them. Thought it was at first, like you did, but I see it with my screen off. I'm on AT&T so are they known to try to brush off a little spot like that? I know they really shouldn't be able to professionally but I just don't want anybody to try to give me any lip for complaining.
If there is a potential opening for dust I sure as hell don't want any more and muddy up a beautiful device. Sounds like I should exchange mine too, huh?
I really hope this isn't going to be a problem, the sensation was plagued by this issue, but it had no where near the level of build quality of the One. I sent my sensation back to htc and they replaced the screen. If it gets worse then send it back.
I havent tried bringing my phone back yet for the dust but this is the second One I've had because the first kept shutting off by itself so if anything you could fib and say it keeps restarting itself randomly on you cause then they'd had to excange it HAHAHA I have AT&T too and they can be **** heads when you try to get replacements
Good luck!

Anyone else have a sunken screen on the left side of their Moto X? On the right side, the screen is perfectly fused with the lip resulting in a pretty non-noticeable transition, but on the left side, I can definitely feel the lip is raised above the screen.
Mine isn't like that and neither is my mom or dad's that I convinced them to upgrade to from the sprint GNex. I would return that asap for manufacturer defect

Mine is sunken on the right side and the plastic lip has started to pull away. Is getting pretty dirty between the screen and the lip. Will probably try and get this swapped
