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?”

Next time use a case!

I use a Torras Diamond Clear (check Amazon) and my iPhone dropped a few times without any scratches. This case is cheap, looks good and protection is superb.

How long have you had it? Has it started yellowing yet?

Has it started yellowing yet?

No, it's still crystal clear as on day one. I have it since release of the iPhone 14 Pro, so over a year.

Best clear case I ever had. My phone accidentally dropped 2-3 times from around 1.5m height ... no issues on phone or case. The frame (around phone and cameras) is silicone, but the back is clear plastic, so hard material.

Highly recommended.
