Screen is INCREDIBLY fragile

Look, I take pretty good care of my phones, especially when I first purchase them because I want to keep them in like-new condition until the case and screen protector I order arrives (usually 2 days). I've had this phone for about that long and I already have a pretty significant scratch and I don't even know how it happened.
I kept it in my pocket with nothing else and facing inwards towards my leg since that side of the pants is softer. Somehow a vertical scratch appeared and I am literally afraid to use this phone because of how much money it costs and how long I need to keep it in a new condition in order to trade it in for a new phone. If I already have a scratch on it 2 days in I don't know what to expect after a year and a half. Been using the Galaxy S series since the S5, never had this problem with any other phone. The S7 Edge I have with a case and no screen protector has no such scratches on it and that has taken A LOT of abuse. Multiple drops, even face flat and on the edges (with the case obviously), had keys in my pocket with it, wallet, pens, not one noticeable scratch, just very light ones you would have a hard time seeing even trying to get it visible in the right angle and lighting.
I got the phone specifically for the beautiful screen and now I have to look at this scratch that I don't even understand how it happened since I babied the phone these 2 days I've had it. Didn't think I could possibly be this disappointed with a phone.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality, extremely fragile, expensive for the quality
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Get a very good case. The screen needs extra protection. Otter box have nothing to protect it. Need a wallet type. Had the phone in my front pocket of my shorts sat down and crunched it against my tobacco
There is no doubt in my mind that this phone is the top of the line. The only negative is the price. If you can get a deal from your cell phone service provider go for it. I am not a reviewer of technical aspects of the phone. I am just a regular consumer that is ecstatic with this beautiful phone.
The only thing i have to complain about is the screen , one of the great features that were advertised was that the fact that the screen was super strong and durable. I have not dropped this phone not once , i have a case on this phone since i received it from pre ordering it when pre ordering was allowed , and yesterday (8/9/17) after having it since April , not even a full 4 months , and it cracked . While having the case . not in order to repair it is going to cost a butt load of money on a phone that i have had for not even 6 months. this is not ok. We as the consumer, after paying allllllll this money for an (outside of the screen ) is an AMAZING product , the screen should not be this fragile.
This is by far my favorite phone of all that I have had. It's fast, sleek, durable, lightweight, and has a lot of memory. I have not had one issue with this phone. I think It is a million times better than the iPhone (which I had and did not like one bit). Good job Samsung!
I normally only recommend the odd number Galaxy S phones but this the first even number that Samsung got right the first time. The performance is what I expect from Samsung, fast with great battery life. The security features are top notch. I would recommend this to anyone looking for quality phone. Water-resistant 1.5 meters for 30 minutes!!
Pros: Bright display, Built-in speakers, water-resistant, high security, integrate your gear products, amazing camera, health monitoring
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great phone!!! if i could i would buy the note but they are really expensive but worth every cent.
This phone surpasses all phones on the market in my personal opinion. The features that this phone offers is limitless and the power this phone gives is undeniably breathtaking. I highly recommend this phone to anyone who is trying to enjoy life on a different level.
