Sadly, it's a matter of statistics.

On the day op sent that email, I broke my BQ second time;

08/15 BQ4.5 purchased.

10/15 Fell on cement, cracked line in middle of screen - lower part not 
responding. BQ repair sevice = 100 euro, good service.

1/16 Fell lightly (on cement) and chipped the top right side (image 
attached).

Strange thing, it also killed the touch functions of only the _lower_ 
part of the screen.
From my experience with phones (and i broke a few), usually such a dent 
doesn't disturb touch on the other side of the phone.

Still, statistics, and Murphy....


At this point, I would recommend a cover:
