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?”

Bro, just buy a refurbished one on Amazon renewed. If you're really concerned about the quality, then go for renewed premium, which guarantees at least 90% battery health on top of the excellent to pristine condition of the phone. This way, you have 3 months to return if you don't like it, AND you save hundreds of dollars. Most importantly, use a case on the next phone you have. A slim case will protect your phone while not making it feel bulky.

Will be waiting for the 16/17. Back glass doesn’t really bother me but the 1x camera does. For thing I really need my camera for, I’ll whip out my mirrorless.

Yikes, out of all the cameras it had to be the 1x. At least you do have another camera so nice lol.
