Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. FML

92 - Otter Box is a company that makes really protective covers for mobile devices that saves your phone no matter what kind of fall happens. So he probably broke his iPhone while trying to set up the one thing that would protect it.

I bet he tosses you around, too, to show how fragile you are.

Otterboxes don't work. I have many friends who have shattered their phones while it was protected by an Otterbox. A better option is a semihard protective cover, because it absorbs the shock of a fall.

How hard do you have to drop an iPhone for it to shatter? I've dropped mine a lot, and the most I've gotten are barely noticeable scratches.

Exactly... or did OP want to see how durable it was by throwing it against a brick wall? my phone is always in it's otter box, but I've dropped it without and it was fine... maybe if the conditions are just right...

yes but the real issue is "will it blend?"

I've dropped my iPhone a few times, too and it's fine but I know many people with a huge crack in their screen waiting for their discounted upgrade to kick in. (:

I dropped mine from standing height. It landed screen down on my bathroom's tile floor. There were cracks EVERYWHERE! I have an otter box now and have had no problems since.

Sorry OP. I always drop mine, but I hate the otter box. Now I just replace my screen when it shatters. I got a screen kit from amazon and it was like $5. Pretty cheap, and easy to do.

If it was a 4, op is screwed. Apple made them where you can't take the screens off so you'd have to buy a new one. Clever, right?

Actually, you can remove the screen on the iPhone4.

Ya, if you want to pay $200 at the Apple store. You're better off buying a new phone.

This isn't just an iPhone application. The website was here YEARS before the Apple AND Android apps. /facepalm.

yeah but most people use it on the iphone. i mean really the iphone has a way bigger market share than android. food chain of life: rebecca black < bill gates < casey anthony < batman < steve jobs < chuck norris

Are you still under warranty from Apple? If not, you should still go to the Genius Bar and state your case. You might get another one or pay a small fee.

apple's warranty would never cover something like that. they clearly state that water and accidental damage isn't covered.

31, so it covers purposeful damage?

31, it's an otter case not the animal you see in the aquarium. They try their beat, but most likely they give you a warning.
