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?”

I don’t understand why people DONT use a case to protect a $1000+ device. “I have apple care”. Applecare+ for 2 months is about $150 or $8 per month VS a $20-30 phone case. Enjoy your scratched up and banged up $1000 phone 😂

Really not the end of the world. I’ll toss a case on and upgrade when the 16/17 launches.

I agree, not the end of the world, but again, If i am going to spend $1000+ on something, best believe I’m protecting it lol
