Will this cover prevent the (now famous) Samsung Chromebook screen crack?

No idea? In the last month I have thrown my Chromebook into a backpack almost every day without issue. I didn't know there was a screen issue?? I got mine refurbed, so maybe they put something better on mine? I only bought the ipearl to prevent Knicks and scratches, and it does that perfectly.

I haven't had any issues with my SC having a cracked screen. I can't guarantee that it will help. I'm very careful with my products and am always about safety. I purchased this hard cover as well as a case logic soft neoprene case.

I don't believe it will prevent the crack, but it does offer protection. Best cover I ever bought, but you may want to buy a protective sleeve for added protection while traveling. Good luck......

The cover won't touch the screen so it'll work just fine. Taking the cover off is not too bad. You gotta pry a little bit, but I haven't had any issues taking it off.

I would ask for the replacement. I just ordered a replacement Kindle 2 because I had several such cracks that ultimately led to the darkening of my screen to the point at which I can't read the darn thing any longer. I learned my lesson, bought the Patagonia case (and sewed in my own modification so that it now actually holds the device securely). No more worthless leather cover for me.

Probably the LCD element in the screen is busted. That's the bad news, but the good news is that they are easily replaceable. Kits are available right here on Amazon for roughly $50 and very good instructional videos can be found on YouTube. My 13-year-old was able to replace hers all by herself as I watched over. The Chromebooks are so thin, they just don't stand up to many bumps and bruises. Fortunately, unlike some "fruity" companies ;-) Chromebooks are easy and relatively inexpensive to repair.

Hi there, I had the same problem. The thing about chromebooks is that they are somewhat delicate and really wont survive a dropping, since their case is relatively flimsy to cut back on weight. Your screen is definitely broken, almost definitely beyond repair, and a dropped chromebook is not covered by warranty (learned all this the hard way). HOWEVER, the screen can be replaced easily and fairly cheaply, in part because of the same flimsy casing that makes it easy to break. This video is a good set of instructions on how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mgyuVTThfA his replacement screens are about $65 dollars, you can find one here: http://screensurgeons.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-chromebook-303c-lcd-screen/ however, I bought a glossy (not matte) screen for about $35 as my replacement. It worked great and was definitely the right screen, but matte would have been nice. It doesn't look like it's quite as cheap now, but I bought it from here without any problems: https://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Samsung/CHROMEBOOK~303C/ Good luck with all that. No problems in the year since the fix and my chromebook is one of my favorites of all my tech machines. It's not for everyone, but worth repairing if you've been enjoying it so far.

Yes it does. My daughter dropped her tablet and got a crack in the screen and they covered it.

Definitely, the chromebook covering is not thick at all. It will fit in the same space as it did before.

I've successfully put in my 14" Chromebook :)But in any case i recommend to use a protective cover, because inside the backpack there is no soft pads etc.

I'm sure it would help prevent further damage, but the cracks may cause air bubbles to appear on the screen, which would be likely to occur with any screen protector. I apologize for answering this question so late!

No Chris because this is just the screen lens cover nothing else this is the cover to protect the actual screen. Something might have happened to the lcd. Have you dropped it or anything. Sometimes even pressure could have done something like this even without a crack. Also you might need to hard rest which you can go to samsung. Com to go through steps if that doesn't work I would connect to kies which is also on the Web address. If nothing works go to your phone company and go from there.

No but the cover has some millimeters away from the screen so it won't get messed up

Don't think that it will prevent screen cracking, but this is the ultimate in screen protectors.

I couldn't fit my Acer C7 chromebook. Compare the thickness with your Samsung chromebook.

Yes, after about 6 months of everyday carry [as in take it with me everywhere, everyday] it cracked. However, after 1 year of use it has still held on and protected the computer as required. The cracks are in 3 of the four corners of the upper [screen] case and the longest is about 1/8" visible from the top. There are no cracks on the lower case. For what I paid for the case [especially when compared to what the computer cost] and considering that the case functions properly and still looks almost new, I am quite happy with it.

Absolutely, any cover really. This is a very thin skin that only covers the screen.

Hello friend, I do not know the Chromebook, but if it has exactly the same dimensions of the Asus Vivobook X202A, I believe it will wear well, even with a hard shell case is not bulky.

Yes. There is plastic covering it though. I'm still using the replacement screen, and it's working great.
