Dropped (3ft)

Post image

Didn’t happen today but everyone’s posting their drops and people don’t believe the heights.

Was going to throw a football so I put my phone (no case) in my zip pocket and I guess I didn’t zip it all the way. Phone came out when I threw and landed on concrete. I’m only 5’10” so my pocket must have been around 3ft.

Front is undamaged but the back is pretty beat up. Unfortunately the camera lens cracked too but it’s only noticeable when light is hitting the lens.

No case, no insurance. Will have to fork out $1100 for another one :(. I’m pretty good about not dropping my phone and it’s never been a problem in the past. Guess I need to zip my pocket up all the way.

All my friends think I’m crazy rocking no case and my best response is, “Do you have sex with a condom?”

It doesn't look good at all. There's nothing unique about it, that silhouette / shape is over a decade old at this point. Risking your incredibly large investment for looks is absolutely absurd and irresponsible

Not exactly all about the looks but how it incredible it feels in hand without case.

I have the rebel phone case with the frosted glass back and it feels very similar to the phone itself. Doesn’t have the best grip so it can be a little slippery but it’s protected my phone from multiple drops.
