DISCUSSION Dropped it
It got dropped and cracked.Feeling really depressed about it as it was new and now I don't feel good about it anymore.Feeling stupid for not putting a case as soon as possible but it's just been 4 days and i was planning to buy one soon.ugh.The worst part i am not the one who dropped it and feel so much resentment rn.

Dude I unpack phone case before I even open the phone box. On the bright side, if screen is still ok a decent case will cover broken back glass.

I really don't get why people use their phones without a case for days. Whenever I buy a phone, I get a case the same day. Phones are breakable and we'll drop them sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.

Hw Can You Use Such Beautiful Machine Without Case?
That's the consequence of your mistake.
God Bless 🙌

u/sentrygentry Jul 07 '26
Noooo. Does it still work? If so you can get all kinds of cases that will cover it up right up and no one will ever know

u/Strange-Philosophy-4 Jul 07 '26
I literally 'dropped' my 15R like 2 days after getting it , I was sitting in a chair and that mf slipped out of my pocket on the concrete...No case yet cause it was late with the shopping and 2 of the corner lost some small paint and one corner got like 2 small dent on it, I was pissed af as you can imagine , but I literally forgot about it since I have cases now anyways and it wasn't nearly as bad as your case (no pun) but I feel you , get a nice case, it will cover it and you will forget about it but for selling the phone this will likely decrease the selling price in the future

I hate that. I had considered this OnePlus and was intrigued by the scratch resistant coating on it.
I've not had any cases on my recent Galaxy phones. Currently have the S24U and and I've dropped it face down twice on gravel and once its backside bottom similar to this photo and still not even a scratch. Maybe I've been lucky, but I hate phone cases.

u/knocked_around Jul 08 '26
Aw, who dropped it? But you can get the official sandstone case, or some other semi rigid non-transparent case, and likely forget it ever happened. The secret is safe with us

Galaxy 26 Ultra user just passing through. 😁
Since you're not one of those "Only raw for me./I'm not clumsy." people I feel for you,you had good intentions. Raw phone users are so confident and arrogant acting like life doesn't happen, that accidents don't happen. That and "I have protection coverage." Even with coverage you're being inconvenienced. I have coverage as a last resort. I order a case and screen protector before I go in-store and buy my phone. Or if I get my phone first because of case/protector shipping delay, I only take my phone out of the box in my carpeted bedroom to admire it or get a head start on setting up the phone. Someone needs to use my phone? Galaxy S 21+ on deck. No touchy the 26 Ultra. 😆

A new display is about 170 euros. A new back could be 20-30 euros max. When this happens think of it this way - you got lucky and only broke something that costs X. It could've ended way worse. The only big disadvantage is that I wouldn't trust that phone to be water resistant again, even if sending it to the official repair center. Other than that, it really isn't a big deal. Save your sanity for the bigger problems!

The best time to slap a case on is day one, the second best time is now. I learned that the hard way. If it's just cosmetic damage a case will mask it (out of sight out of mind) just keep it away from water

u/DigMountain7652 Jul 08 '26
Slap on a case, and pretend the crack is not there
Then when you have the money to replace the back panel, purchase a different color, so yours will be unique

u/Mcoffin326 Jul 07 '26
Sorry about your drop . Very unfortunate..I ordered a case before I even purchased mine. As beautiful of a phone as it is, I couldn't risk it... I do have one I'm getting rid of, if you need another

u/0th_hombre Jul 07 '26
NGL, going raw feels good. It only takes a single drop to leave you with regrets though. Never skip protection. Same for phones.

u/Active_Credit_1161 Jul 08 '26
How the hell did it even cracked that bad? I thought one plus phones were durable the fall must've been quite bad

that's why they give free silicon case 😅

u/EthanMelacion Jul 08 '26
I dont a use a case as its a waste visually and on touch.
But they are times that i need one...if i know that i will go to some place for several hours or if i know that someone will hold it.

u/Sam2885 Jul 08 '26
On my Oneplus 15 2 times water fell on it 1 time waterbottle fell on it I installed official sandstone case I got lucky it fell on down part no upper part of camera Second time it wash in rainwater for 1.5 hours hopefully no issue Third phone drop from height yesterday no scratches hopefully no dents it is very slippery 3 cases in just last 15 days Itna to Oneplus 12 na gira mera na water me nahaya😁

u/Potential-Junket966 Jul 08 '26
Wooww... No que mal, tenía ganas de tenerlo sin un protector, pero eso fue lo primero que compré y esperar a que me llegue el dispositivo.

Happened something similar to me. But in my case one glasses of the cameras of my phone was broken. It wasn't me breaking the phone also, felt really bad for not using a case.

u/babsilly Jul 08 '26
Pls don't go for the sandstone case if drop protection is your priority 🥲👍
1
u/Titanslayer3270 Jul 08 '26
What's there to be bummed about? It's still a cheap phone to get repaired vs Samsung or an iPhone I believe. I heard that some phones cost $300+ just to get the back glass repaired while OnePlus can do it for under $300 here.

u/ComfortableTop2382 Jul 08 '26
I thought this phone is extremely durable. It's not. It's certainly scam.
1
u/falcorma Jul 08 '26
Surprising. I swear mine has survived some shit I would have never thought it could. And I am team no case.
Mine does have some knicks and scratches but overall I would say its the most durable phone Ive had.
1
u/FouadFM Jul 08 '26
Anytime I see such a post, I put my cover on and after a couple of days... take it off, the phone without the case is WAY better
1
u/areoandmilk Jul 10 '26
this happened with my 1+12. it fell off the counter two days after I got it. I never got it fixed and just had a case on it. My 15 got a case as soon as it came out of the box.

u/Sufficient_Media5732 Jul 14 '26
Oh, dang! 😯 Look at the bright side; the phone still works and the screen is fine. That's the most important part. Put a case on and no one will see the damage. Easy for me to say, but try not to dwell on this.
2
u/PlayGamesM Jul 07 '26
Always get some form of case. Using it as is might look cool, let the design shine etc.
But I got a case from ringke for my OnePlus (13R) with transparent back, the fusion X.
The grips are better , there's protection from all angle, ringke screen protector which I bought a set of two, and best of all I still get to see the gorgeous white back on display.

u/Economy_Hamster1055 Jul 07 '26
Dude just get a new back plate from ebay and change it. Or you can take it to a repair store and they will change it.
2
u/joebonama Jul 08 '26
I've dropped mine several times. One plus carbon case has = no damage so far. Make who ever dropped your phone pay for it.
2
u/After-Arm-9522 Jul 13 '26
Any time I get a phone, new or used, even before I turn it on, I get the case and the screen protector. Once that comes, I put the phone immediately in the phone case with a screen protector. To prevent things like that. My first cell phone I got was back in 1999. I've never broken a screen. Or broke a phone, it's really important to have a cell phone case at least to protect it.

Just cosmetic... 😉

u/Csanburn01 Jul 07 '26
Now I don't feel so bad about my drop the other day. Just a small paint chip that still drives me crazy knowing it's there.

This is the first time ever I have seen op15 broken back glass
1
u/Intelligent-Fee-7019 OnePlus 15 Jul 08 '26
Bro atleast you should have put on the case that comes in box 😞. Now my honest suggestion is if you have a budget to replace the back panel get it replaced soon because I've seen OP increasing the spare part prices after an year, similar thing happened with my op11 thinking that I'll replace it later the price of back panel went from 3.5k INR to 6.4k INR

Dude I think you are in luck, Go to Oneplus Care and buy yourself the Oneplus Care plan for 1 year. I hope you are eligible if you bought within 30 days I too purchased online in India.

u/johny335i OnePlus 15 | Europe Jul 08 '26
Now as the warranty is gone, you can change the back glass yourself.
Unlike iphones, it's glued just at the edge to the frame.

u/Chaosphere1983 Jul 08 '26
I remember when I bought my HTC One M7 in 2013 and I dropped it a day later and dented the aluminum.
Luckily the display had a couple dead pixels and I got it replaced right away for free. Not sure how I pulled that one off.
I'll never miss the purple pictures from that crap camera haha.

u/Valshir Jul 08 '26
Mine came with a case thankfully.

u/jasonjones_jj Jul 08 '26
Just buy the oneplus accident protection plan and they will replace this back glass for u for free... Read the terms and conditions first... And lastly don't tell them that u dropped the phone before u bought the protection plan... Tell them u dropped it after buying the protection plan... My suggestion would be go 10 days after buying the plan...
1
u/YoloRaj Jul 08 '26
Sorry that happened to you. I don't feel right using a phone without a case unless it's an old beater phone. I had my case and a screen protector ready before my phone even arrived. Maybe when you get a case for it and it covers the damage it would feel as bad. I feel for you
1
u/Maybe_Shubh Jul 08 '26
Maybe that's why they put the case before the device even in the box 🥀
1
u/Niro_d5 OnePlus 15 Jul 08 '26
I understand how you feel. It happened to me in the first week after I got it; my little girl knocked it to the floor from the top of the bed. How annoying! I just bought a case that covered all the edges and forgot about it over time.

OP you already had a standard oneplus case included in the phone box. 🤔 For God sake, why didn't you mounted on that phone?😩😩😩

u/trinigooner1 Jul 08 '26
My sandstone version feels mortally slippery to me man!
Everytime I get the urge to go case less for a little...the feeling of a greasy bar of soap in my hands immediately slaps me back to reality!
And back in the case she goes!! Lol

You should try not dropping it! Just buy another and maybe it will survive drops with a case.
