dropped my 6 plus on the floor earlier and the glass separated from the aluminum casing on one side. i simply snapped it back together and the phone is no worse for wear.

has this ever happened to anyone, should i look out for any long term implications?
 
No pics as I was scared ******** and snapped it back together instantly. There is seemingly no damage, just wonder if I should try and exchange while I am still in 14 day window.
 
I was surprised it separated and just snapped back so easily. At least it didn't bend (yet).
 
Geez... Do you guys ever use a case on your phone? I get tired of reading these posts of people dropping their new 6 & 6 plus iPhones and breaking them. When will you people learn to use a case? They have that new Tech 21 case that is thin but protective that I thoink you can live with... Are you not using a case because you want to show others that you've upgraded to the 6/6 plus? If so, no one really cares. Protect your investment and use a case....

Or get a case like this. Protects the phone yet shows the apple logo so the best of both worlds 🙂

 
This happened to an iPhone 5 that I had. It had been dropped and just scuffed very slightly. I got out of bed and it fell to the wood floor and the entire left side of the screen popped out of the body. I popped it back in and continued to use that same handset with zero issues for a long time (in smartphone time) before exchanging it for an unrelated issue.

I know it's a different model and different body, but figured I'd share my experience anyway.

If a case is required for the phone then it should be included with the phone 🙄

C'mon man... Why should I protect my investment? It's all about showing off my phone.

I picked up a babe at a bar Saturday night... she told me the only chance I had to get laid was if I was using an iPhone 6+. If it was gold she would stay all night.

Luckily... I got the best of both worlds. I removed my case and scored.

Seriously though, I agree with you. I laugh at all the "I don't use a case and dropped my phone shattering my screen" threads...

Nobody cares what kind of phone you use. I know I don't. The only people that might are those that will rob you to take your wallet and your phone.

Maybe some people have a case on order that has to be made, like me. I'm not wasting a penny buying some cheap ugly case I don't like for the interim when I have apple care. I don't care about showing off my phone - but I don't settle & purchase things I don't like & I don't think anyone else should either.

I also used my last phone naked - some people prefer that - especially now that phones are bigger & cases make them even bigger still.

Judge not - and FYI plenty of phones have broken in cases.

Ah, yes. Another, "Oops, I screwed up but I'm in the 14 day window, so maybe I should make Apple responsible for my mistake" thread.

Man, I love integrity these days. It's so easy to justify my own lack of ethic by remembering that the company has more money than I. 😎
