So I got a S7 Edge... I liked it, pretty cool but I was being frugal and planned on getting a case for it later since Verizon jacks up the price for accessories a lot...well I go to the pool at the gym and what do you know it falls out of my bag onto the concrete floor and shatters the screen and back...
This really made me angry, especially when the shitty insurance Verizon uses refused to cover it... I really hate how we use something that is made nearly of almost complete glass. LG, while their phones have some flaws, at least have a metal frame.
Up until the S7 Edge I had never broken a screen on a phone or any other device.
The phones being made of glass in and out is my gripe with Apple and Samsung....
Thats tough.
Yeah, its a sad reality, spending a shitload on some of the most beautifully designed devices out there and it ends up just being hidden by a case...but I can see why they opted for glass though, the S5 was all plastic and people panned it for not being 'premium'.
But, If glass isn't your thing, LG/HTC and other OEMs offer metal/metal-plastic designs that look good and are durable.
