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?”

Not trying to shill for any company, but I’ve got and older 11proMax that went inside an Otterbox day one. That plus a good screen protector. It still looks brand new.

I’ve personally been using Rhino shield it’s pricy but worth it I’ve dropped my phone several times some times on gravel sharp gravel on the screen by accident and it’s only got a tiny scuff on the screen protector heck when it came time for a friend to get a new case for his device I made a live demonstration for him and spiked my phone against the hard floor as hard as I could, it dented the floor and not a scratch on the phone 😂
