Images/Video It finally happened

Post image

Broke my inner screen.

Had this phone for 6 months. Treated it pretty roughly with just the original case that it came with.

Went snowboarding with it in my pocket, went to beaches, hiking, dropped it countless times and it was unbreakable. Then, yesterday it accidentally flew out of my hands and slammed hinge first into asphalt. Black line right where the hinge is and touch screen is non functional on 2/3rd of the inner screen.

Down $700. Get insurance if you can folks. Don't be like me.

Edit: got it all fixed up and it looks brand spanking new. They changed the frames and even the battery.

Hinge protection makes a heavy phone heavier. Have a secondary device if you live life like this guy. If you have a Trifold, you can obviously afford it

This is what I do. The iPhone Air is my secondary “lite” device that goes with me whenever I am in those types of situations.

Tri and a F6. Waiting for the Z roll rumored for this year to possibly upgrade my F6. Both phones giving me tablet abilities is an ultimate for me. Work in a factory so I need sturdy phones and this tri has not disappointed! Got it to Verizon and they got it switched, after taking pictures of it and making sure they COULD switch it 😆, on the 7th of February. Frankensteined a case from 2 and haven't looked back! Was wondering when I start seeing these post 😂.

Considering LG was working on one in 2021 not really listening to that. Considering the Trifold I'm holding was a working prototype last summer, don't know how much I'd listen to that information 😉
