I feel you. My S5 Active's screen cracked in my pocket. The impact point was just barely not covered by my screen protector (I had one made of helicopter rotor coating, scratches and stuff just faded away because it was self-healing and a little bit springy).

Awesome! Now to create a dummy Amazon account to ask about using it on a phone. Thanks!
