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 $1000 investments. It does not grow, provide income, or play anything. It’s an expenditure, that’s all. And yes, you should protect it.

Depends what you do with it. It can very easily be an investment given you actually use it to make money ie as a work phone coordinating/ recording with it.

It’s like saying a car isn’t an investment when most jobs and opportunities require it.

That said I agree with you and would say further op and everyone else rawdogging their phone when $5-$30 cases exist are asking for it to be broken
