Cracked Screen - Carrying Pre front pant pocket
Be careful, don't let this happen to your Pre.
I really have no idea how it happened, possibly while I was sitting in a chair that had plastic arms - and my leg pressed against it.
Looks like a soft case is needed - or maybe make certain the screen side is against your leg and not facing out.
I guess I'll find out tomorrow if TEP was worth my investment or not....
The cracks start at the button and go all the way up the screen. There are twice as many cracks as you can see in the pictures.
Display still works fine, however touch is all messed up. Bottom third of the screen doesn't touch, and a spot on the middle of the screen keeps "touching" automatically every couple of seconds. Can't even answer the phone because I can't slide the green dot up.

Damn, that sucks. Is the Pre really that fragile? Someone in another thread mention that his wife cracked her screen already.

Well, I'd live with it probably, as you can only see the cracks if you look from the side. The problem is the touch is messed up, I assume as a result of the cracks - so the device is impossible to operate properly.

Did your wife know what caused the damage? Or was she suprised (like I was) that anything had even happened?
