I got lloyds tsb insurance and they was great. Told them I lost my phone and they sent me a new one. Iphone 4.
I also repair iphones and its easy enough.

I now have the galaxy S4 and although I havent worked on one yet I would say uts a lot easier.

Mines got a crack in the screen now no idea how. Possibly friends or possibly slightly bent due to the size. Galaxy Note 2.

I'm hoping it will be replaced as the case I bought for it has scratched it to bits.

That sucks! I've dropped mine so many times and cringed when picking it up thinking the screen had gone ... just a cheap "S line" TPU case and screen protector (it got a fine scratch on the top corner/border after 2 weeks, hence the screen protector despite having gorilla glass 2!)

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

My S3 fell out of my pocket whilst up a ladder about 9ft or so and miraculously survived completely unscathed and that was with no case or screen protector! That said,  my 2yr old knocked it off the bedside table whilst it was charging so fell about a foot and landed charger point downwards and that ended up putting two cracks through the blue plastic bezel.  :angry:

I pulled a moonie to some lads in work and my phone fell out of my pocket cracking the screen, digitizer and LCD.

£170 and 10mins worth of work and I got my phone back.

Needless to say I don't do silly things like that anymore check the security of my phone before my ass comes out!

Mine fell from a table onto a concrete floor. Even though I have a wallet type case the phone ejected from it and slid across the ground. Cringed before flipping it over only to find the crack from the power button towards the top, bottom and across the screen  :sad:

Best case for hard hits is Case Mate I've bounced mine a few times not even a scratch!

I have a case mate for my s4. Black leather flip type. Very good.
