Someone asked about fragility of G Pro
jesi.james said:
Im also a bit more concerened about phone durability. I take care of my things but I want a little more cushion for when accidents happen. Is the OG Pro just as fragile as the s4? Has anyone managed to accidentally crack theirs?

Looking on it in near sight I've already noticed one thing. The glass doesn't cover full size of the phone but instead has .2mm spare space to the edges of phone. Also the glass in not surrounded by banking board. Also the glass has beveled edge, about 70° sharp.
So I presume that the glass would not crack even if the phone would be dropped from 6 feet height. Unless of course it would be dropped flat fall on screen
Another indirect proof of that is here. Watch Note 2 has cracked glass when G Pro doesn't have severe damages
If you think this device is drop proof you are delusional. I haven't watched the linked video nor do I need to. The front is glass and could crack from a 6" fall. Many things factor in here including luck.

Well, someone eventually will test it, people drop their phones here and there.
And also I'll attach here link to this topic Optimus G = UNBREAKABLE
Well no phones drop proof obviously but ive had 2 friends that had lg phones and ive had one myself and I can tell u theyre probably the some of the best built on the market. My connect was dropped, thrown, stepped on, kicked and all manner of torment and worked like the day I bought it till the day I traded it in on this. Ive seen lg phones survive multiple (so many I lost count) drops that would have sent a samsung or htc device to the scrap heap...

Exactly. My wife has a One X. She has dropped, thrown it onto a hard floor with force, and let's our 3 old play with it like it's his. It has a ton of scratches, but hasn't broken. Some were saying when it released that it was super fragile. I guess since hers has been abused it must be the toughest phone ever made. Right? No, she's been extremely lucky.

I dropped my GPro out of my lap when I was getting out of my truck and it hit the asphalt pretty hard on a corner and barely nicked it. The phone pretty much looks flawless. Seems durable to me as long as u don't drop it face first. Lol

Do not go without a case, this phone is not durable at all! This is what happens from slding out of my pocket while in a chair and falling <18" to a patio.

I'm assuming by patio you mean stone/brick/concrete/pavers, right? If that's the case, most phones wouldn't be too fond of an 18" drop.
Yeah, but I've had other phones hit asphalt from 4-5 feet high on the corner and survive with only nick in the bezel. My post is just a warning that this phone is definitely not "drop proof". I've only had the OGP for four days and already have to shell out $ for an insurance claim. Sad thin is my case I ordered is supposed to show up today.

Hi!
I have purchased Spigen sgp curved crystal screen protector on ebay. The seller sent me 2 protectors. But they are not fully covering the screen. But Spigen advertise it's a full screen cover. This screen protector height is OK, but length not 100% match. There's a little gap. Is it a normal situation?
Depends becu there are 2. The normal one and the case friendly one that doesn't touch the sides completely so that a case would not mess with it

Yeah. The curved crystal is supposed to be edge to edge application like mine does. Mine fitted well. But easily dents so i went for realook 3d forming

Well my phone doesnt look like it has SP on it. Like a naked phone as it is. But dunno why it bubbled when I used my eclipse case (knowing eclipse is only a snap on case). Maybe because of my misalignment of the realook. Maybe it should have worked well if I had a 100% perfect alignment

Those are finger marks, you're right that it's caused by games. Notice there's 3 areas affected, where the directional pad is and where I'd assume there's buttons A and B in that game. And that's why I use a screen protector. If you don't then you can get the glass replaced, not recommended as it's not 100% safe.
It's probably the oleo phobic coating rubbed out in those areas. They do sell oleophobic replacement kits online. Try it out.

I'm curious as well!
Is it normal for the screen to rainbow with pressure (force)?
I noticed a slight rainbow on the right edge of the screen when I put pressure (not light, I would say medium pressure).
I noticed when applying a screen protector and pushing bubbles out with my thumb with pressure.
Is this normal or a defect?

For a PC Monitor it is normal, but that is a solid Smartphone with Gorilla Glass.
I don't think that it's normal.
Depending on how high the pressure really is.
Do you have this effect only on one side (right) or on all sides?
You should check all sides with normal pressure,if the display springs back and for on one side.
That can be an indication that the display on this spot is loose.
If that is the case, you should talk with your distributor.
On my m8 the Display was loose on the left side.
I've checked it on my One X and on my One m7 and I don't have this effect.

It's not a rainbow, it's a grey colour that only happens with a good amount of pressure on the right side edge of my screen. Again, only with pressure and not in actual usage of phone. Does this warrant exchange?

Not only that the Screen was loosed on the left side.
On Day 10, the Display died, black Screen without backlight.
Now it's on the way back to the distributor for a replacement.
You should contact the dealer for a replacement as well.

This isn't a resistive screen, its capacitive. It should take a good deal of pressure to cause any discoloration or banding on these types of screens. When yours breaks, I don't want to see you post about it or I'll make sure to refer you to this post.

Anyway i cannot replicate it anywhere on my screen as its solid. OP should exchange as this is not normal
Mine is also the same as op but those T-Mobile dicks refused to exchange it since the display model did the same. I guess it's not too big of a deal doesn't show up unless I press with my fingernail with medium pressure. Normal touches doesn't do anything. Plus there's a 1 year warranty if it'll break hopefully it's within this period
