    Put it in a case, otherwise you could potentially cut yourself on that glass

    It is safe as long as you put a case on to prevent the glass shards from piercing your hands. However, it is advisable to get the back glass replaced, especially because there are people who use a laser to remove the glass and put a new one on for cheaper than normal

    Get the back replaced. I could never live with it. Risk of cuts etc. short term just put a case on to keep it enclosed

    I’ve dropped my phones so many times but the worse damage I’ve ever done was some dents. No idea how people get these phones look like this

    Personally that level of damage I would just get the back glass replaced. But some kind of waterproof case like a lifeproof one should work too as I imagine any level of moisture in there will fuck that phone up

    A friend of mine used to work at a repair shop. He told me that if the phone is used with a cracked back glass, small pieces of glass penetrate the battery, causing the battery to swell up. Same thing happens when the back glass is replaced sloppily.

    With a case, yeah can’t see why not. Probably best to replace the back though.
