here's to feelin' good all the time
what are people doing to end up with smashed screens on they drat iphones. i've had mine for like 2 years and dropped it a few times but its fine. i'm guessing with women maybe it's from being in a purse and having other stuff slam into it?

That's not real. Those kids just can't afford a new one and make up jokes and posture to feel better about it and 100% would accept a brand new phone.

My iPhone 5 fell on a beer bottle and cracked. I've had zero issues with newer iterations however.

The Seinfeld episode that your av is from is on right now.

Anyway, anytime that I've broken my phone, it was because it wasn't in a case. I had a 5 I think that I was trying to dock onto a boombox and it literally just tipped over and landed face first from a height of 0 inches and shattered the screen, but I've dropped my other encased phones countless times from absurd heights and never had a single issue.

I've had an iPhone since the first one came out and never used cases. Didn't break one until the 6 but I sure did smash the gently caress out of it, twice.

same. i've broken the glass screen protector on mine a few times (highly recommend those since they're a few bucks), and just have a fairly cheapo shell case off amazon and dropped that thing so many times in the field. i've dropped it into bentonite-slurry mud rotary tubs, down in borings, rocks, and hard surfaces from high up and it's kicking fine. iphones are some p loving indestructible devices, with a case at least.

Also one time the phone slid out of my pocket at the exact time I was closing the car door, and got smashed in the door frame. That time was really hosed up, what are the drat odds

Yup. Only reason I have a case on my 6p is it's a slippery little fucker. Dropped dozens of times, just minor dings on the frame edges.

Brother has broken or lost 24 phones. His last one he had for 2 days and it was the new iphone. We were driving back from the reserve and he spilt some Powerade on it and it was hosed. Supposedly this iPhone is water proof for 30 minutes underwater but a few drops of Blue Crush bricked it.

Literally the Wurst...

Seriously...

For REALSIES.

My Iphone broke because:

◦ I got angry at losing at some crappy micro transaction game and "dropped" it against the wall
◦ I tried to take a bite out of it to gain its power
◦ The hammer app I downloaded didn't turn my phone into a hammer
◦ Impromptu butt plug indecent
◦ Despite what my boyfriend said, Iphones apparently aren't bullet proof

I've had my iPhone 5S for almost 4 years now and it's in great condition despite never using a case and dropping it on concrete a couple of times. Battery life is starting to go on it a bit though.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
I've never dropped my phone. Not never. And if I'm outside of the house I never even set it down on any sort of hard surface. It's always either in my front pocked or in my hand.

I've had 5 phones in the last 20 years, when I got my first one. All of them are in working condition.

I mean, do you guys like go outside and stuff? That's bad for you.
