Unlucky man

Last year I smashed my nexus 4 first day i got it lol

 

I didn't want to take a chance with this phone. I have it covered with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case

 

I used mine for a week naked before my screen protectors and case arrived. It was very daring, but I was extra cautious. Now I have 2 different cases and 5 extra screen protectors just in case. [:

 

Shit man I feel for you
I dropped my gnex once while taking it out of the case to replace my screen protector it scuffed the corners and pissed me off

I have the spigen slim armour on my n5 and have dropped it once from about 4 ft on to hard floor no damage thankfully and it landed screen down

 

Omg.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Ouch! Sorry to hear that!

 

Great case, that's what I've got too.

 

What's the procedure with cracked screens and google? Because if you take your smashed iphone to an apple store and it's under warranty they fix it for free, according to a couple of my friends who have done this.

 

Oh no! Sorry to hear that.

It's the bane of smartphone ownership.

Once it happened to me, short of using the biggest ugliest case on the face of the planet they still sustain some kind of damage.

 

I don't actually know that you are wrong, but I would be very surprised if you were right. At least in the US, for as long as I can remember, cracked screens have never been covered under warranty, although you can buy insurance that will cover them (Apple Care might do this for iPhone, but again that is extra $$). In general, warranties are not aimed at wear and tear, only manufacturing defects. If the cracked screen is due to a drop rather than material defect, they won't cover it.

 

What color did u go with? I went with Champagne.

 

silver!

in an electronics store some guy working there was more impressed with my case than the phone lol

 

Exactly why I insured mine for accidental and water damage the day I got it

 

Yeah most warranties don't cover cracked screens. I know specifically LG does not cover cracked screen, or any physical damage for that matter, because I read the warranty in the booklet the Nexus 5 comes with. They only cover malfunctions due to manufacturer defects and faulty hardware. Also, Google doesn't cover your phone with a warranty, the manufacturers do. I feel for the OP. My advice at this point is trying to obtain a new screen and DIY fix.

 

ouch.. sorry to hear that..

i guess im one of the few that run my phones naked.

all my devices have never had any kind of case on them, and i have been lucky and/or careful enough to avoid cracked screens.

good luck with the repair, moto x, or whatever device you decide to go with next.

 

Next time, look into getting SquareTrade. For $99, they insure against everything.

I never use a case; I like my phone as thin and non-bulky as possible. I'm pretty careful with my phones (dedicated pocket, etc.), but I figure I'll upgrade to the SGS 5 next spring, so I'm not too worried about tiny hair-like scratches.

 

You aren't. I love my naked Hammerhead.

 

Ditto!

 

I bet u can still get a couple hundred on ebay for it. At least it will cushion the blow of a new one.

 

Read your post, had to register just to reply.....couldn't help but laugh. I'm in the exact same boat. My Nexus 5 is sitting on my counter. In my room.

Which is locked!

Waiting for 4 more days for my ArmourDillo Hybrid Protective Case for Google Nexus 5 case!!!!

 

Sorry to hear it. Been there, done that.
Check the credit card that you used to buy it. Many have 90 day buyers protection. Mine did...too bad I broke it after 180 days.

 

Sorry OP, most of us have been there.. The only phone that I cracked the screen on was an iphone 3gs. Never cracked my G2X with multiple concrete drops with no screen protector or case. Nexus 4 also stayed crack free but it had a case but no screen protector and I only rocked it for 6 months. Now on that Nexus 5, case no screen protector..
