Some things never change

I finally upgraded to the iPhone 5 yesterday after using my 4s (cracked and literally held together with scotch tape) in that dysfunctional state for the last six months.

And I DROPPED IT ON THE CEMENT TODAY! Less than 24 hours!

Ooops! Wonder if it would be covered by your homeowners insurance.

I got to be careful on this one :-\........................ rofl :hysterical: 8/ 8/ I guess that wasn't so good was it >8) That sucks Angie. Did it actually break?

[Lowjiber]

I keep my iPhone 5 in one of those thick rubber cases. I've dropped it several times in the past couple of years, and it keeps on ticking.

I bet you let out a few not so nice words | Hope the phone is not too damaged.

[OxShoeDrew]

Sorry about that. As John mentioned, maybe a otterbox would be helpful.

I have the 4S and I also use the Otter Box, works great and keeps the sand out when I'm at the beach!

i also have the 4s and i have the otterbox to protect it plus a grandkid to show old grandpa how to use it good luck with your new phone dennis

[Epi-hunter]

I had the otter box on my 4s for over a year, then the otterbox broke somehow ( ) so I took it off and that's when my 4s bit the dust.

I am hard on phones... I have lost many, dropped MANY, left several on top of my car and then drove off, even dropped one in a mud puddle in pouring rain in a parking lot and then backed over it.

The otter box seems to defeat the purpose of the slimness and lightness of the 5.

Thanks for the sympathies everyone! Yes, it did crack.

Did you get the insurance...or are you as cheap as I am and went without it.....? rofl

We should rename you Epi the Destroyer.

And, of course, a new avatar to go with it.

So sorry to hear this Angie

I admit I don't use a case either, taking chance-have one scratch so far w/couple lucky harmless drops.

Yep, I agree with the slimness factor to put in pocket (don't like to carry purse)...

Maybe a design improvement is in order, shoulder straps in addition to the neck strap? Tough to keep that fashionable looking...
