Got my phone about 1.5 weeks ago. Today I missed my pocket when putting it in, falling on the back while in the default half cover that came with the phone. This completely shattered the gorilla glass on the back. I wish the phone was either metal or plastic, as many phones I have had have survived far better than this... Anyway, its clearly not very solid when it comes to fall resistance. Now I need to have it repaired, and I wonder if there are any repair shops in Norway that has parts for the phone by now?

I think cover design is bad(they had more style in mind than protection). There is very little cover support in upper left corner, where is also weak point because of camera.
I definitely need to find new cover. Until then i will be extra careful. Unlucky drop on that corner is most likely a spider visit.

Rhinoshield (solid something) seems quite good.

Chris1I was also looking for a case + screen protector since the default case doesn't offer a lot of protection. The only option I was able to find is Rhinoshield. There are some cases on Amazon but all cases have 0 reviews, same for screen protectors. Do you have any experience with Rhinoshield? They want almost 50€ for a case + screen protector... do you know whether the quality is worth such a price? I never bought a case or screen protector at this price tag...Rhinoshield (solid something) seems quite good.
