New factory housing? - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a RAZR M yesterday and shortly after that, my wonderful mother knocked it from my had. My new prize went flying, then once grounded, it began grinding across the parking lot. Naturally, it looks 100 yrs old now.
Is there somewhere I can purchase another factory housing to revive my new M?
Thanks for any input.

Watch ebay for them. In a few months when people start to break there phones, water damage them and the like, someone will inevitably selling a housing.
Have to ask, how did the screen hold up? So close to the edge it makes me a little nervous.

Yeah I'm also curious. How does the phone look? Pics? I'm running naked but will prob at least get a screen protector.

The Destruction Of My First Evo - Whats Your Story

So,
Just for fun I thought I would share my story, of how I broke my first evo. I set my evo on the bumper of my car. Rearranged something in the the bed, and forgot my evo on the bumper. 20 minuets later I'm driving and looking for my phone. Well to make a long story short, the evo stayed on my bumper until I hit a speed bump in the parking lot of my apt. I drive all the way back home, and see it right next to the speed bump face down, screen shattered. The good news I have a tough case, and even though it was run over by a car, it still works! I would love to hear any other stories about evo destruction!
Dang. That's crazy that it still works even after being ran over, ha-ha.
I've only just dropped like crazy onto concrete, floors, etc, and it only has one tiny little crack by the search button and some dings.

Personally I'm pretty impressed with the durability of the phone. Extreme damage no phone can withstand, but I dropped it before out of the case and it holds up well to some of the older phones that I have dropped.
I dropped it by accident face first straight flat fall ON the face on my hardwood floor and not one single thing was damaged.
Edit: it was about a 4 foot drop.

I lost mine over the weekend while I was out of town. I didn't even know Sprint offered insurance.
Anyone know if they'll let me buy a replacement at the subsidized cost?

They are so strict on that, they wont do it, why sell you one for 200 when they can get 500 from you. I'm surprised they didn't tell you about insurance, it's a huge money maker for them. They want you to have insurance. It sucks losing a phone

Im assuming you only use the new phone for 1 day, because the wait times to receive a new phone is crazy. I waited a week and a half for my 2nd evo...and now this one has a crack on the back camera lens.

Mine has held up really well. 5 months with no case or screen protector. My G1 did go through the laundry once, it still worked for a few days after too.

First one lasted five weeks, then went to sprint store. Second one lasted a month or so.. Next one took a week, and was stolen before I got home.. Damn fedex.. And a week later this evo, my eta from asurion is monday for lucky number five lol.

I'm on number 2. First one had the speaker stop working and the kickstand spring broke so the kick stand would flip in and it would fall over all of the time. I wasn't about to be responsible for it falling over and flying off the table so it was replaced.
This second one has been like two weeks and the kickstand spring is on the way to dying again. The kickstand squeaks - it slowly gets worse till the spring gives out. I'm sure the speaker will stop working on this one too.
With the luck I had with the first Touch Pro (12 of them in 10 months) I'm sure I'll be seeing the same crap here. I'm gentle to them, they just all fail terribly. I'm beginning to wonder why I bought another HTC phone after the Touch Pro and TP2 were so bad.
Asurion said 5-7 days for my replacement, and I got an email today saying it's been shipped and I'll have it tomorrow. Amazing...... What can I expect, a refurb piece of crap?
EVO #2 here, First one was fine except it had a cracked camera lens, Then i put it in my back pocket, almost sat down in the car and realized it was there. Pulled it out LCD was broken , Glass intact.
Second EVO - Perfect except for crack on power button. Not replacing it for that. And hopefully its my last one.

12 in 10 months, I would think sprint would just cancel you. I replaced my diamond once and never had a problem with the refurbished one I got. Getting them to replace it took a couple trips to the sprint store though, 2nd trip they ordered my new one. They must know you by name there, probably keep a phone for you in a drawer.

On my second one, it should arrive today. The assurion backorder thing is a joke. They said it would take 3-5 days, that was yesterday when i sent them the info. And fedex overnight is so damn fast. They must have a driver dedicated just to me.
In all honesty, the first one i got a big scratch on the glass, so i decided to buff it out with a whole bunch of different grits of sand paper and polish. Well i did a good job (i have done auto paint multiple times, it isn't much different) but the scratch was so deep i would have had to remove way too much glass to make it go away. So i bought a new digitizer off of ebay. Put it on, was very happy about everything and that very day I didn't have my jelly case on it because I had it off to put the new digitizer on and i dropped the SoB on the floor at work and the LCD went out. Digitizer didn't crack or anything though.
I told assurion I lost it in the trash compactor at work so that I could sell the digitizer and other parts to recoup some of the cost of the deductible and new digitizer though.
I will never remove my baby from it's case again.

I treat my tf like an abusive bf treat his battered gf. no case and no screen protector. Take it with me everyday. No scratch or mark of any kind. Don't know how you people do it.
I take mine just about everywhere but the loo, but my TF is fairly well taken care of other wise. Give or take dogs climbing over the screen and my backpack flying across the car here and there.
Watching the "Drop test" of a Galax SII and iPhone 4S, made me extra glad to have gone ASUS instead of Apple. I was especially impressed when getting scratched by my dog and the docks metal, didn't leave any thing behind but dock hair.
I am pretty rough on mine and not a single scratch

Wow, that is.. pretty amazing. Damn old people, though good for her, not driving a car to kill people. She's just using the bus to attempt to kill tablets.

Cracked screen... Twice!

Ok. I'm begining to feel that this device simply doesn't love me at all.
I got my first N7. The next day, I was walking (my N7 was in my bag)and the leash of my bag was cut (for unknow reasons). Bag goes down, N7 screen cracks. I had no case for it...
Same day, I'm buying a new one since I couldn't find any spare parts at this time. With my new N7 I bought an HTC-Flyer Case since it was the only one which could fit the N7. (No N7 cases available in Greece yet...). I thought I could wait until spare parts become available, fix the first one and sell it.
1 week after I bought the second N7, I was holding 10 cm above a table. I repeat, 10, maybe 15 centimeters, above a table and I w Sas reading an e-book. Suddenly, my, second, N7 slips from my hands, drops on the table with the lower left corner and the screen broke more than the first one.
Ok. Now I get it, This thing is very sensitive. F*ck you Asus for doing it like that because I've dropped my TF101 a few times and still working like a charm.
The thing, now, is that I can't find any spare parts and I'll not buy a third N7.
Does anyone know where can I find spare screen to repair them? I've found this site but it's always out of stock.
Please guys, I am begging for your help!
Thanks in advance.

You blame Asus?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Yep... ASUS is supposed to be there to catch the device when it falls.
Most devices break when you drop them without a decent case. Nothing new there.
Don't drop your stuff?
Of course I am not blaming Asus. I was the one who dropped the device (at least the second time) I am the one to blame.
What I wrote about Asus is just for making me feel a little better and not that I crash every N7 I get my hands on. Nothing more. Maybe it was a mistake to write that about them. I apologize if I must.
Any chance, now, you know where I can take a spare screen?

To drop one N7 is careless, to drop two N7s marks you out as clumsy and, yes, you are blaming Asus for your clutziness.
Worse, you are trying to crowd source information you could easily source yourself.
In this post from you we see Greece and why it has an ex-economy :laugh:
Hey, come to think of it .. where did you get the Drachma for two N7s ? :laugh::laugh:
I do sympathize since I have two iPads which are used mainly by two kids of 3 and 2 years of age. As you can imagine, they've dropped them from various angles and heights (one even took a tumble down a whole flight of stairs.
Neither of them have a scratch on them. They were protected by a silicone/tpu case from day one.

I've searched a lot around the Internet and I couldn't find anything. That's why I asked here. Obviously a big mistake...
Second I wish we had drachma again, but that's an other conversation which I am not willing to do here.
I know I'm clumsy. But N7 is the first device so sensitive to my clumsiness. Looks like I'm not built for this device...
Thanks again.

The screen is basically all one unit, so you can't just get the glass. It looks to be easy to replace however. I would imagine there will be parts available soon from other parties like other devices as well as replacement batteries etc...
Probably a little soon still.
There are of course official sources for parts, but I don't know if ASUS is making them available (not had an ASUS device before).

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
There were other reports by people claiming the screen itself is easier to damage. I think I recall someone saying they had their screen split just from normal usage...
In any case, I dropped my SGT7 from a few feet onto a carpet, and nothing happened. I haven't had my N7 fall any distance yet, and I played games like osu!droid, which causes me to press pretty rapidly and hard on the screen, and nothing happened to it (yet), so idk...
In any case, it's safe to say dropping your Nexus 7, or most devices for that matter can cause some pretty bad physical damage
Mine cracked too! Really dont even know how, just saw a cracl amd now my touch screen will not work.. any advice please!

Cracked Screen

Leaned over the hood of my car yesterday with the Hd Maxx in my pocket. Screen was facing my leg and i know i didn't lean too hard. screen cracked and stopped working. Verizon exchanged it because it didn't have a scratch or ding on it but they wanted me to pay full price for it at first. They said the original Razr and Razr Maxx would crack often and it eventually became a known issue where they would replace it under warranty, but until Motorola says its a known issue we are stuck paying the insurance deductible or paying for the phone in full.

They gave it to me under warranty cause the phone was like new, not a scratch or ding on it and i'd had it less than 5 days. Just posted it here so others can be careful with theirs and if it happens often i guess Motorola needs to make it a known issue.

I had my Droid X for over 2 years with no case and i would drop that thing atleast once a weak. never had a problem with it. I even dropped in the dogs water bowl twice, would just pull the battery and put it in a bag of rice overnight. The phone would come magically back to life in the morning. I used a droid charge from samsung for a while and that thing felt so cheap and the plastic back would fall off all the time.
Dang, that sucks. It's safe to say that I'm buying a man purse and keeping it in there.

I was sold on the S3 till I picked one up in a store, it easily warped several millimeters in both directions with a light twist holding the corners of the phone. And it made that characteristic clicking plastic noise as the parts slipped against each other. Tried the same twist test on a RAZR HD and was pleased by its rigidity. Looks like that rigidity might be the reason the screens shatter.
My screen cracked last night. it must have fallen off my night stand when i was sleeping. Im really upset that a fall that small could crack that screen my last phone was a droid charge which im on right now. the phone looks and feels like **** but i really abused it and had some terrible drops on to concrete where it landed directly on the corner but i never cracked a screen. I love the battery life but i hate the size and how fragile it is Im starting to regret my decision on my purchase
Maybe it just landed at the "perfect" angle? That's a bummer though, sorry to hear about that.
This thread is scaring me into buying insurance. I need to find out what it costs.

....Well (lol)

After having this phone for 3 weeks (Today literally made it 3 weeks), the phone took a fall from my computer desk and the "gorilla glass" completely cracked. So now all that is displayed is a single green pixel and a line of about 10 white pixels.
I was really happy with this device up until this point, but a fall like that breaking the screen is unacceptable. Guess it's time to find another new phone.
Must have been a real unlucky hit. Mine has fallen from shopping cart height 3 times without even a scratch. Back went one, battery another...put it all back together and all was good.
I guess I will chalk it up to bad luck and hope for better next time. Just ordered the Epic Touch, so we shall see how that goes (and this time I got a case with it, lol).
I wanted to go back to HTC, but something about these Samsug phones has drawn me in.

You could buy a bad esn epic, or a broken mother board epic and swap out the mobos, or screen if you feel like taking it all the way apart. Its really easy.

I had my phone sitting 5 feet up on a shelf, connected to a stereo through an audio cable. My manager accidentally caught the cord, whipping the phone down to the tile floor faster than gravity could have pulled it, and the battery didn't even pop out

Well I ended up losing the Epic 4g Touch auction by like $3, so I went looking for a nice SIII but in the end grabbed up the HTC Evo 4G LTE. Will have it on Wednesday.
I will probably grab up a bad ESN Epic at some point though just so I can have a backup phone (better safe than sorry). I really did like this phone and I figure the SIII would also be amazing, but I could not justify paying almost $200 more for the SIII than the Evo LTE.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, I was climbing the fire escape to get in my house, and my Samsung Moment slid out of my pocket as I was going in the window 3 stories above the ground. And it was perfectly fine. Also with my Moment, I went to put it in my pocket, but I missed and it fell on the asphalt screen first, and the glass cracked. Like what?

If were talking about dropping phones during hurricane sandy. This was at night and the rain was over and the center of the storm was heading towards Philly so I went outside to record the storms force. While standing there a few seconds late a huge gust of wind blew pushed me and knock my phone right out my hand it fell smack down on its face on to the concrete I was like O_O I picked it up no crack in the screen just a dent in the plastic part around the phone. But now I'll never have warranty because somehow now my battery has half pink on it. If I had an iPhone 4S it would of been history for that phone. The epic records good night video by the way.
