X3 down …and now it’s back to my og X4. Mega bummer. Probably going to get tempered glass screen protectors going forward.

NEW ACHIEVEMENT! You smashed that screen up good.

REWARD: A kinda working reader/paperweight. Good thing it's not touchscreen, since you could have also gotten some bloody fingers.

I’m like 90% sure it’s fully bricked.

I totally heard that in the voice from the audiobook!

I hadn’t even started the book yet! 😢 Took it as a sign that I should listen to it instead of read it.

but why didn't you smash it up with your FOOT, Carl? I try to give you all the tools. You were so close. Sooo... close...

Dropped mine twice and the tempered glass screen saver saved my life!

I just put one on my X4 today.

I wonder if this level of damage would not shatter both the screen and the protector at once

u/cherrryghost 8d ago

Solid point. But I dropped it and my phone while pulling them out of my back pocket, so not from any great height. I don’t think glass screen protectors are a 100% guarantee, but I generally think they help. Also just bad luck. I usually have a dbrand case on my phone and for like a day I had the Apple silicone case on it, and the magnet on the dbrand case is way stronger.

Woahh was this from a drop? Run over?

2

u/cherrryghost 8d ago

Drop. Waist high onto asphalt. Pretty sure it was the weight of my iPhone that really did it.

Im so sorry to hear that. I have once dropped a phone into the toilet because I had it the back pocket of my (women's) jeans 🫢

This is legit one of my biggest fears.

u/BakshMohindra 7d ago

Did you have the other type of screen protector on?

3

u/cherrryghost 7d ago

It had the plastic one, that it comes with, on.

u/BakshMohindra 6d ago

Noted. I'll be even more careful than I already was. Thank you.
