Doesnt make sense, you have insurance but you need money to send it???? when you buy insurance, all you do is just phone the company and ship it.

That's warranty my friend, insurance is for external damage, robbery or lost and you as the customer have to pay a for a new one, in my case $125.00 bucks would get me a new RazrHD an S3 or a Note2 cause they cost the same without contract $649.99

I've got one of those bulky otter boxes on my HD, I've seen it fall from my pocket half a dozen times and once from the second story of a home - it bounced off the garage roof and landed (thankfully) in the neighbor's bushes. Top left corner of the rubber shell has a little rough spot from bouncing off the shingles, but the phone's still spotless.

So just got home and found out the wife dropped her phone and broke the gorilla glass. It was in a Seido Active X case.
She took it to a repair center and they said no insurance, buy a new phone.
Haven't several people on here gotten this issue fixed for like $35? Contract not up for like a year, so full price not an option.

Actually, if the crack is more than an inch they dont have to touch it. I just replaced my glass and i have TEP. Charged me the $100 deductible because it was more than an inch. Trust me i went round and round trying to get it done for free.

Thanks guys. I knew somebody had gotten theirs done w/o TEP.
Wife just called her cousin's husband who works for Sprint and he said they've cracked down on replacing Epic hardware. He is gonna check to see what he can do tomorrow so I'm crossing my fingers.

tell her to live with it and think about her poor defenseless phone every time she makes a phone call.. Or worse case, buy her a flip phone..
or you could try buying a bad ESN phone off ebay and see about switching the glass.. Maybe you could find a tutorial somewhere.. Either way.. good luck
Samsung does repairs too. Might call them and see how much.

OP has a cracked screen - that and water damage takes deductible to $100 with asurion. If the phone (ie a replacement) is still under its 1 year warranty, and doesn't have one of the above 2 issues then Asurion will swap it for free.
My space bar is split down the middle (still works just annoying), my battery won't hold a charge, every now and then while charging several battery widgets showed the batter charged but loosing power, one of those 3 triangle things (where the battery is, the part that touches the gold squares on the batter) is bent.
Will I have to pay $100 or can I get a new epic free? I had this phone since February 2011 (or 2010 I forget but it was the february after the phone came out)
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Take a pick and press in on one of the ext antenna port. This will kill you signal and they will say hardware and replace it for $35. If you have water or broken screen, no luckat all. Simple.

They wouldn't replace mine when I lost it. Signed up for Sprint insurance and now it's only $100.
Its a waste of a $100. Hopefully the Nexus comes out at a good price.

Almost the same money in all ways. If you didnt brake the screen and just the glass, youll prob break it trying to replace it. Also it wont feed the same after you get it that far apart. I would say Ebay and switch the board out. Insurance if you got it. Like I said tho, about the same money. Global Direct is the best place for parts. A few bucks higher than ebay but 100% genuine and will have the adhesive made for it. PM me if you need a price, they hide them.

OK so I bought my nexus 7 thru staples yesterday. I usually don't buy store warranties but they suckered me into getting a 1yr warranty with accidental coverage for 40 bucks. He said as long as I don't activate it I can return it. Now I can say my nexus seems fine. No screen lifts or dead spots so I think I lucked out there. I'm just wondering if that warranty is worth holding onto. Will these notorious issues pop up later in ownership? I mean honestly its a piece of mind for like less then 3 bucks a month I guess.

best buy has none any more, here in Va Beach, I JUST found that out when my wife got home from taking my oldest to Best buy with his broken Epic, the forced an upgrade on him so now my wife has a Iphone ( ewwww) and my oldest son has her old HTC evo 3D, but the store manager said they told my wife that the Epic is no longer made and if I break mine I get a free upgrade, only problem in the only Samsung is the SII, other than that its a keyocreia, or a LG optimus, and another phone that I have never heard of So I guess when I do finally decide to upgrade I will have to leave the Epic for dead
Orrrrrrr...be careful and take care of it. I have my original still gotten 2 weeks after release.

Best buy also offers you the full retail value towards the purchase of another phone. So whatever it was at the time of purchase for you it may be $500 towards a new phone off contract.
Even without a case, it's still somewhat of a tank. I dropped mine at least 5 times and it's fine. And before me my dad had it while putting up billboards.

I got my Zagg invisible shield professionally installed right after I got my epic, and put it in the commuter case right after. A couple weeks ago, I had the invisible shield replaced under the lifetime warranty after a knife in my pocket had gouged it. When I took the case and screen protector off, my epic looked brand new. The only part that is worn at all is the keyboard, and it is _very_ worn. =)

It may have its shortcomings and limitations compared to other phones currently available, but the photon q runs circles around the Epic.

Sorry, it's just the facts of the matter. Newer faster technology, better screen, and I really prefer the photon q's keyboard. 'Nuff said.

You can occasionally find good phones on cowboom.com. I got into the Samsung Epic because I found it on CraigsList and the ESN wasn't bad -- but it was locked to someone else's account (gr!). Had to port it to cricket, since it was basically stolen.
Talked to a few of the cricket flasher people -- and they said you can find GOOD phones on cowboom. So, I searched Cowboom and got another Epic. The trick to getting a good one (mine said it was covered in scratches -- it was pretty much brand new) is to look for one that has nearly everything included with it as far as accessories. Mine showed as a poor quality, but it was flawless.
Search fairly often and you should be able to find one. Like the others said, get a case and a screen protector. I use a Seidio Active and love it.
