It doesn't look like it went any deeper, Saj. I think it'll be okay for now. It's just not "perfect" anymore
OH! Thank you so much!
They made them tough, and the screen is shatter proof. But, the screen can puncture or tear....if it hits a sharp object. There must have been a small, sharp stone or something to put that gouge in the outer layer of the screen. Mine was a jagged edge of a piece of hotel furniture, and it hit just right. The good news is my screen didn't shatter, and neither did the OP's. She might be shopping for a new phone right now if that was not a Turbo 2 or Droid Z Force. And the other good news is Moto made the 5 layer shatter shield screen with the outer layer (lens) user replaceable. So if that's all that is damaged, it can be replaced for around $30.
I will say, I'm impressed that that's all that happened. I was in full stride with three dogs in urgent need to move quickly. My phone slipped out from between my shoulder & cheek & really hit the pavement hard. I'm thrilled that it's still good, just bummed that it now has a blemish.
I agree Fox, it's hard to tell from a 2D picture. On my Turbo 2, the tiny puncture in the outer layer (lens) looked way worse if I zoomed in on it before covering the screen with a glass screen protector.
According to the Moto website, only the outer layer (they call it the lens) is replaceable by us. At least that's the case on all of their websites that I have seen; messing with anything under that 5th outer layer voids the warranty...I think.
Thats sounds like a good plan; if the phone is working fine now, why worry too much about it. I know that's easier said than done though. Once you buy the kit, maybe a friend or family member could help replace it? Hope things work out for the best for you.
