well when i got my Moment i put the body glove on it (which i don't like) but hey i wanted to protect the phone. So this weekend i have the phone in my shirt pocket and i bend over , out comes the phone it hit my driveway and the body glove flies off . The phone takes a bounce and lands on a corner and bang the glase screen is junk. My question is has any one had problems with the body glove covers and can i get the glass replaced without having to get a new phone?

imo gloves or anything that clips to the face/back of the phone are not meant for full protection but just for general pocket use to prevent scratches and possibly a small fall. The clip case for my moment lasted 1 fall and the tabs on the front part broke off. Same happened with my old phone(mogul). Now i have a full invisible shield on the moment and am more careful where i place it. Ive had my old phone in my shirt pocket and it fell out a quite a few times lol. No idea about the repair but hope you can do something with it.

I would argue that the fall from your pocket caused your phone to break.

It's my opinion that the only case which will completely protect your phone in a fall is a full-body "pocket" or slip-on case.  All other cases are simply clip-on and don't protect the screen; you have to be able to see what the screen is displaying, after all Smiley

Body Glove makes an ok-looking neoprene (like wet-suit material) slip-on case with a soft, clear window on the front.  You have to take the phone out to use it, but at least you can see who's calling without removing the phone first.  It provides a soft cushion around the entire phone, which will protect it a lot more than a hard-plastic clip-on style "scratch prevent" style case.

Good luck, and stop dropping your phone!

The screen on your phone can be replaced. I had mine replaced at no charge. Of course, I did not mention the fact that I turned my phone back on too soon after installing a Zagg screen protector... Good luck.

I want that BG phone case just for the little prop stand in the back, but it appears that it can't be used seperately with the belt clip (aka gayness), so I haven't gotten a cover for my phone yet.  Does anyone else make something like that to prop the phone up with a little wand or anything?

Seeing that I hardly see ANY lip on the edges of this phone, I don't expect any case other than something one piece (no sliding keyboard) to be able to handle a good hit on the ground.  The only way I can see those split cases staying in tact would be to use like some well placed double sided tape on the inside edges of these two part cases.
