Its simply a cosmetic issue. I can still use the phone 100%. I was using the phone and dropped it from about waist high. phone landed face down on to hard concrete. there is a spot where the cracks spider from and I am assuming there was a pebble or something on the concrete that hit it and then cracked the rest of the screen. Fortunately, i found replacement glass screens online for about $50. much better than the $90 that verizon (asurion) wants me to pay. Replacing it will, however, void my warranty. but its still cheaper than getting one through insurance.

Besides the point I forgot I had my Droid and not a ball in my lacrosse stick when I attempted to throw it against the driveway and have it bounce back to me. Instead I realized I had my phone and the battery and cover flew 20 feet away and the phone made an evil thud. I thought the worst, but when I picked it up it turned on fine and there were only a few minor scratches on the corner from impact.

Man, you should have that sample sent to Corning. With all those crazy demos they did at CES this year, I'm kinda surprised you managed to pull it off. Did it land on a diamond spike or something?

For those of you comparing it to drops of your G1, Dream etc... the Droid is very dense. Lots of weight packed in that size, and no free space. It is therefore much harder on it itself when it falls. Cases and covers look honestly, dorky. Invisishield looks kickass, but I don't want to lose the nice rubberized texture on the back. Warranty is the best solution. $8 / mo is not really that bad to replace something with what? $300 of parts in it at least? It happens…
