Motorola's infographic on smartphone cracked screens

some people .. just makes no sense
with a cracked screen, you still use it and you get your fingers cut - I simply can't wrap my brain around this  :blink:

 

EDIT: For those that haven't been following Droid Turbo 2, this is a part of their "Moto Shattershield" marketing campaign.

I have never dropped nor cracked my phone

[yannickverc]

"5% have cracked their screens while throwing their phone at something." wut?!? Do people really give 0 shits about their stuff???

[juretrn]

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. But I did manage to ruin my brand new case for my M7,on the very first day.

[Muz]

Cool news :^)

I expected Motorola to produce a solution at the end of this.

 

What a useless pile of shite.

 

It actually reiterates, to me, how much money Motorola stand to make off broken screens.  

[Paralectic]

I cracked my iPod's screen back in 2008.. And my iPhone's touch display stopped working after a drop.

Never had any problems when using a normal case.

I'm assuming the usual "my ex called me" would be the simple explanation here.

[DevilishBooster]

I think people are just careless because they have started to take things, like smartphones, for granted. I have never cracked a screen or broken a phone, and I am by no means gentle. You just have to make sure you take care of you possessions.

I wouldn't waste a 300-400 + $ phone on my ex ...

a LOT of people do surprisingly.

[yannickverc]

a LOT of people do surprisingly.

Apparently... 5% of the smartphone owners.... That's like a few 10 million?

[MrRavens]

Still haven't cracked my phone. I must have got the cream of the crop gorilla glass or something. Cause my old lg optimus 2x is still crack/scratch free. I even prove to people how strong it is by dropping it on the ground, and chucking it across the room lol.

Yeah

One of my friends got a new phone every year when he visited china

During the year he would throw it at people and tell them to catch it, but obviously they dont, lol

He just didnt care

No offence to ur friend, but that's just sad.

i just got a glas screen protector above it and i was fine. they want 250€ for a new screen on the moto x thats insane. i just waited until i broke it completely and bought a moto g

[Real_PhillBert]

I admit I have cracked one smartphone screen. I dropped my S4 a couple months ago on concrete and the screen shattered, I replaced the phone because it was only a few dollars more than replacing the screen. 

[Maslofski]

my sister broke her screen clean while in the school bag, sadly the  touchiness of the screen stopped working and a 54€ bandage is going to be applied

[MeltingPoint]

I've dropped my iP4 several times and some of those drops were pretty brutal. Dinged a lot of parts but never a cracked screen.

[Lethal Seraph]

I used and bought multiple Spigen cases for myself and my family. And tempered glass along with it.

[TheMcSame]

My Z1, a phone that apparently cracks on its own, has taken a decent beating and the screen is still fine...

 

I honestly wonder how people manage to crack their screens, some of my phones have been through a decent bit of abuse and I've yet to break a screen.

 did you really have to quote the OP

 

I mean seriously

"5% have cracked their screens while throwing their phone at something." wut?!? Do people really give 0 shits about their stuff???

I assume it means thrown/tossed onto their bed,sofa,etc; I highly doubt it means that they chucked it at the wall because they were bored.

[yannickverc]

I assume it means thrown onto their bed,sofa,etc.

Oh yea that could be a thing. They should add "3% of the smartphone owners have gotten heart attacks while throwing their phone on the bed and it bounces off."

[Wyzzy Moon]

I've never cracked the screen on my phone but I've been given, an have used, second hand cracked phones.
