Oh my god I know...

 

I took my case off earlier and just had it next to me on the couch. I moved slightly and it slid into the abyss of couch cracks. I didn't hear it slide and had to search for it.

I'm totally with you on that. That's why I bought an Otterbox defender for my phone. I'm too paranoid out of my head that I might break it, so bulky case it stays in.

I have went caseless for the longest time and been exceptionally lucky, I guess. That might end with the next iPhone I get. If I go to the 6 I may get a silicon case for basic usage.

My first iPhone 3GS got wet because I was careless and caseless, the replacement got wet because I was being stupid. My LG Xenon years ago got a cracked screen, and had to replace that because I threw the phone into a seatbelt out of anger. Now I'm so overly cautious, but still clumsy. I'm just glad I haven't broke an iPhone screen ever.

Went to the Apple Store Saturday morning with my Dad to get him a new phone. He upgraded from his Space Grey 64 GB Sprint 5S to a Space Grey 128 GB Sim-Free 6 Plus. Had to get a new SIM card from the Sprint store though, because for whatever reason the network wouldn't let him activate his phone with his old SIM. It's been working great since! When we got it home and restored it through iTunes it came up and said "Congratulations, your iPhone is now unlocked!" when the phone booted into iTunes. Bet you never thought you'd see that coming from an iPhone that was activated on Sprint, did ya? :)

I got he same case. Popped out the built in screen protector and put on a zagg protector. With three young boys this case has already saved my phone on two occasions.

I have always been a 'case man' but not after getting the 6+.

 

 

Had a case on it for for a month or so but it felt too bulky - even with a slim case. It has slipped out of my hands once or twice but never out of the house. Has landed on concrete once and survived. Has also landed on wood and carpet.

 

If I do drop and break it - I'll use up one of the AppleCare replacement deals. :shrug: I really enjoy being case-less now.

I'm usually super cautious but yesterday I was sitting in the car I had my phone in my lap and I just forgot it was there cause I had other things in my hand. I already told my mom she said I gotta wait so until then I'll be sitting around with the crackle jackle iPhone 6. I'm kinda embarrassed to have a cracked 6 and I only had it for a month.

 

Ironically enough it landed right on the concrete and there's not a scratch or scuff on the back or the sides. The screen took the full load of damage, and tbh it didn't even crack that bad either. I think my thick privacy screen helped a little, but now when I get a new screen at least the phone itself won't look mad ugly with scratches and scuffs.

This happened to me twice (the sim card issue). The first time I got a new 6 for the camera issue, and just recently when my screen was broke. It seems to be a new issue, which is most annoying...

I was caseless as well - well, I had a dbrand skin on it to help with scratches and to give better grip, but essentially caseless. Saturday my 1 year old swiped my phone out of my hand onto our tile floor. It landed on the upper right corner, cracking the screen. It was just a slight crack, but a crack nevertheless.

 

Rewind to a few weeks ago I had read that there's a manufacturing defect with the front facing camera and that it will slide out of position, creating a slight crescent moon shape. Because it's a manufacturing defect Apple is replacing the screen at no charge. Sure enough my phone has the problem - it didn't impact the pictures at all and was barely noticeable so I didn't do anything about it...until I cracked the screen. I set a genius appointment yesterday afternoon citing the camera flaw and they replaced the screen at no charge. I think had my crack been larger or more noticeable they may have challenged me, but they didn't ask a word. I was in and out in under an hour.

 

Side benefit: my Touch ID was previously always hit or miss; I just thought it was how it functioned. Since the screen has been replaced my Touch ID has been flawless. Needless to say I'm back in a case and I just had a Zagg Invisible glass put on the new screen last night (Best Buy price matches Amazon, so I got it for $15 with free application).

Most of the time if its just a hairline crack, they will replace the screen at no cost. "its not supposed to do that' they say.

Hmm so you think If I were to go in and say the front camera was displaced they'd do a free replacement.

Not with the a screen cracked like you say yours is. When my brothers camera was misplaced he had a slight hairline crack at the bottom. Luckily I knew the Apple genius personally, so he said will just pretend that I didn't see that and get you a new phone. He said if it hadn't been him, they probably would've charged for a new screen.

I looked at that case with several others.  Ended up getting the Symmetry case.  I have a tendency to put the phone in a front pocket so the Defender would have been too much.

Man, I have a hairline crack the extends across the screen and then splits into several vines near the middle.

My phone going in a case until I get it fixed and after that it's staying in one while outdoors. My house has a lot more softer safer places than the outdoors

Has anybody heard of Sprint's 50 dollar a month Iphone 6 plan? Is it worth it? I've considered getting it when I upgrade but the price seems to good to be true. I'm worried about Sprint limiting my data if I use to much. What are your thoughts?

The plan is solid. I am not an expert on that plan so I have no idea. But I do know that your data will really only limited if you are in a congested area. And if you have b41 available, thats not likely to happen any time soon....

 

Where are you located?

I'm located in columbus, Ohio. There is a tower right next to my apartment that just got activated with LTE. And it is pretty fast. And yeah it is with the lease plan. I don't want to lease though I would rather just use my upgrade

      T-Mobile to acquire UScellular

      By iansltx · Posted

      A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      By iansltx · Posted

      Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.

      Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.

      What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
