same thing happened with my samsung captivate a couple of years ago but it died instantly :( ... no insurance.. i called ATT and begged for help..they did $125. for a new cappy at the time... i just told them i dropped it ..can you help... :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] randaddy:
You might have some luck getting it repaired at a local AT&T Device Support Center...couldn't hurt to give them a call.

Ensquared was offering the $58 for 1 year with a 30 day waiting period for claims. I got it. I never waste money on insurance, but they cover theft and loss. I would do that if I were you and just wait it out. They're insurance. That's what we pay them for. I wouldn't say immoral, Just business that they offer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
Thanks sent. I called them, got the local office, he said what they do is to replace one phone for another under warranty. In my case, he called "pressure crack on the display", is not covered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] orangekid:
How much is the deductible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] buckwheat.phd:
I've just got the att insurance, which claims a 24hr replacement for loss. Not sure how they deal with fixable damages though. I'd better look into it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
I have had them in the past, never used though. :(

However, I know they can ask for your wireless bill. If you don't use your phone, THAT phone, for 30 days, it will show. Then they might decline coverage, and you're going to have a lot of free time to fight it. Totally possible, but not for me.

Plus, it's 58 plus deductible, I think it's $75? So I'd be looking at $125+30 days (plus uncertainty), versus $250 for the replacement and the satisfaction of doing the right thing yourself?

The only bad thing on my plan is that the display is not available anywhere I looked. It'll take a month to get my hands in one, I fear (esp. if shipped from Korea). :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] edaley:
The same thing happened to my friends Razr Maxx...glass is fine but screen underneath broke...i hate getting insurance but it looks like i might have to sign up for ensquared.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
If you are a long-time customer they may still help. I've never had insurance. Had a phone about 7 years ago that just suddenly stopped working in the middle of a call. Called them up to see what they could do, they replaced it for $50. Exactly a year later in almost the same place my wife's phone stopped working (dropped in water very briefly, didn't trigger the water exposure strip). Called them up again, replaced her phone for $50. I think they forced me to re-up for 2 years each time. I vaguely remember thinking the 2nd time that it wasn't really a 2-year extension since we already had an additional year because of my phone replacement.

Can't hurt to call and ask. I've had the same account since 1994 so I'm sure that helped.

So you move your sim to an old phone and use that for a month. I've already tried my new sim in my old phone since my old phones ARE my insurance plan (to get me through until I can get a subsidized phone again) and it works fine. So they could never prove you didn't use your damaged phone by looking at your bill.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
I don't think so, just two years in my case, and currently I have my tablets insured by squaretrade (via ebay). But thanks, it pays to be a loyal customer sometimes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
There's doing the right thing, and then there's doing the right thing cause it's the right thing to do.

Big business does not always do the right thing. And we, the consumer, suffer the consequences and price hikes.

Since you can still do the ATT insurance, go for that. They made 4 billion in profits this year. Just one way for the consumer to fight back. Just my opinion. Good luck in your quest for a fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Robes1:
I did the same! I'll never buy another phone directly from AT&T again!

Sorry to see that. I was just thinking this morning I should cancel my Black Tie protection and get my $170 back. Now I'm thinking I won't be doing that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
You are correct but they inspect the device prior to adding...at least that's what they've done to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thinguy:
Check with your home/renters insurance agent you may be covered under that policy and realize it.

Check with the credit card you used to purchase it, they may have it under that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nash2000:
Best buy sold me on their insurance a few years ago when my buddy and I were getting out first (and last ) black berries. They displayed a fish tank with a razor impaling the gravel in the bottom of the tank, there was a label on the tank that said "does your insurance cover this" i was like wow, it'll cover water damage, they said yes and they also said i can smash my phone on the groud right in front of them and they'll replace it, sounds great right...wrong. my buddy that was with me got his phone wet and it stopped working so we brought it back. The clerk told us "sorry but we don't cover water damage" he was pissed like you wouldn't beleive. They went back and forth for an hour telling us what we read and was told was false. Just as we were getting ready to leave i said wait a minute! I walked back to the manager, pulled out my phone, opened up my picture galley and said "what's that" i took a pic of the fish tank. His jaw dropped and er walked out with a brand new phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
Try for coverage via your credit card, often they have purchase protection, yes.

But do NOT make a claim on your homeowner's policy. Make a 2nd claim and they'll drop you. Only use it for really big stuff like a tree laying on your roof.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tactical45:
I got lucky. I dropped my note Tuesday. I got it out of my tool box (about 4ft high) and it slipped out of my hands! Landed flat on its back then flipped onto the screen. The back cover came off. The shop has a hard concrete floor. I don't know how it survived but it works and the only scratch on it is the back cover, and just a small one. I don't know how it didn't break.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
Amex gold seems to cover it. Let's see what happens. Opened the case, waiting on them to request "documents".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Sorry about the phone. There are places around here called Dr Cellphone which could probably order the part you need. Do not know if you have them in California.

I applaud your ethics. I have ensquared on my International GNote but not my ATT model since I am waiting 30 day to see if I keep it. They do ask that you certify that the phone is in perfect working order when you sign up.

Despite what others are saying (they can rationalize all they want, what they are saying is unethical), I applaud you! If you lived in Dallas, I would try to hire you if you needed work!

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

WOW! I forgot about buyer's assurance! I used my AMEX to buy my GNotes also! Hope it works out !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 4ktvs:
Well i don't like outter box any more so I would not say to do that. it's a sad story ending with a def case failing me and now there is a Scratch on the case that went into the phone too. (car keys) My s2 was in the same spot and it never Scratched like that many days I have had it.

But any way: 3FT and it did that. I droped my S2 from about 5.5-6FT (My ear) to the hard unforgiving driveway and it lived and has a small ding on the metal part.( I just about yelled Nooooooooooooooo like in the movies. I was still sad that it got dinged, but glad that it lived and still looks good.)

I hope you can fix it and don't drop more phones that cost 300-700.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dave*228:
Problem with ATT insurance is they have a $200 deductable on the Note. It may be cheaper to have it repaired than to use the insurance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Looks like you have some sort of case on. Did the screen break with the case? I suggest a cheap TPU case on Ebay no more than $5. I have always used one. It's really thin but just "soft" enough to stretch and absorb some of the impact force. Gosh it's like high school physics all over again. Trying to remember the formula.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] over2land:
You talking about the old Force=Mass x Velocity formula?

And, what's all this Otterbox talk in here. I tried to find one when I got my Note, and couldn't. Are they selling them out the back door of Area 51 or something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
Yes, I had the thin elago case. Same brand/type worked with my iPhones for years, dropped at least twice, into concrete, chipped the left top, no breakage. Won't do the same mistake again. Going to look hard this time.

I agree about the tpu protection efficiency, my kids use the Samsung tpu case on the 10.1 tablet, soft rubber around the screen, dropped many times and the 10.1 is still going strong.

However, wouldn't a tpu case hard to remove from the pocket, if it doesn't remove itself from the device in the process?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Fernandq:
In most cases they can tell what phone you have. I have 5 lines in my family account. We do a lot of cross upgrades where line 2 gets upgraded but the phone is used on line 4.... I think I am the only one that upgrades straight. Yet in my only account review all phones icons are correctly attach to the line they are using and not the line they were upgraded from. Further, my stepson broke his phone 2 month before his upgrade date. I let him use one of my old blackberries for the time being and not long after that he started getting a text message saying that smartphones require a data plan and they will add one automatically... So they do can tell...

To the op, as someone pointed out, there is a $199 deductible so he might as well fix it himself.

Also, that insurance is NOT provided by AT&T.... other than that, I would have used the insurance, they never loose money...

I posted a quick review on the one I got. It's a perfect fit. Snug enough where you won't remove it from your pocket. It's like a mix of rubber and hard plastic but closer to plastic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] californiarailroader:
Those are all 120 (San Francisco) to 300 (Fresno) miles from me, not much of an option for this area. I also got the BB Insurance, and have a case (the folding one from Samsung, and a belt case to carry it in from PdaAir) and screen protector (SGP) on my Note, I don't like to tempt fate. :D

I have replaced the glass panel on a Dell Streak twice. First time it was hard and the panel was expensive. Second time fast and the panel had dropped to < $40

eBay showing replacement glass and full displaypanels for G-Note. Glass alone looks inexpensive. Full display and digitizer quite expensive however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] californiarailroader:
WOW, I think I'll pay the $9.99 for the BB Insurance thank you. :D I mean, I'm a techie, I haven't bought a pre-built computer in over 15 years, but that just looks like WAY too much work, with too much of a chance for error that could permanently destroy your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
So Amex asked for a repair estimate. I called Samsung, they can give an estimate over the phone. It's going to cost $197.02. I asked if they would answer Amex insurance investigators the same if they called to verify, and they said, yes, provided they give me the same IMEI. Not too happy about this, I bet Amex will use this as an excuse for "lack of documentation". What do they want me to do, send them a bogus estimate from an unreliable vendor - which then I'd have to commit to do my repair? What if it they don't work out well?

I also asked a couple of what if questions, and they said that if the display, glass, both, digitizer or whatever else is damaged, it's probably going to cost me the same $197.02. It would take in all about 6-7 business days.

I think that's a great deal, if you ask me. If I had used my previous ensquared insurance, I would have lost $125.00 ($58+75 deductible) and probably would be out of luck for a year (since my year limit would be $1000.00-$700), because as I understand, you send in your phone and they replace it, meaning YOU spent ~700 of your allowance. Looks like a good business to have, if they send you a refurb and they themselves repair with Samsung...

I don't quite get if this is going to work that easy though, so I'm not sure. When I have the phone in my hands, and if Amex pays me back the $197.02, then we'll see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] samic:
I would try the credit card purchase protection. Last time my camera's LCD cracked and I filed a claim and the CC company covered the cost of repair. A month later (talk about bad luck) I dropped my notebook and they also covered it.

But check the policy first, mine only cover 90 days after purchase but since your Note is so new I don't think you'll have any problem making the claim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
Thats what i am doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
The more protection the less pocketable, generally. I have a TPU case and it is harder to remove from the pocket, but still not bad. Not sure how much it would have helped in your situation. I am waiting on the seidio cases and probably try the combo and try it on the belt with a holster. I have the surface combo on my skyrocket and have used them on all of my phones and dropped them several times without a scratch. I see the active case in under development but that may be thicker than I want. Hopefully they will also make the surface combo.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] samic:
Sorry didn't see your last post...

Yes sometimes credit card company need a proof of work in order to underwrite the claim. You can get the estimate first and let Samsung get back to them,

Or, in my case, i have to paid out of my pocket first to repair first and then submit the claim.

They shouldn't reject your claim even lack of information. Just send back more info (for example pictures) you should be okay.

The worse case is you need get a affidavit from a notary public and they MUST take your case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rboone18:
This is why i bought radioshack insurance i have used it before and like it more then att. Covers anything but lost or stolen and its 7 a month and covers 3 cellphone accessories bought with it. After 10 months ill be getting a new battery for free. Deductible is 100 if abused. Last phone was replaced with a brand new one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captivated:
Add me to the list of broken phones. :( Dropped from about 6ft onto concrete. Had a cheap rubber case on the phone but it didn't help. Outer glass is fine with no scratches but the led panel cracked up nicely. Phone still works but the screen doesn't display anything. It only recognizes the spen, touching with my finger does nothing. So sad/angry. Back to my too small Captivate for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
Repair will cost you 198.00 at Samsung.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captivated:
I'm sending it to Samsung for repair. I bought it with my amex card so I'm going to file a clam with their accidental damage coverage. In the meantime I bought a new one and am waiting for it to be delivered. I called AT&T and they gave me a $50 credit which I thought was funny.

Edit: I noticed that you wanted to use the American Express protection as well. If i you did use it, how did the process go? I have a shipping label for my phone to be sent to Samsung, but I don't want to send it yet if it will cause an issue with the American Express accidental coverage.
