Today, I figured out that a $40 phone case does not protect your $500 phone from a five year-old throwing it off a fourth story balcony. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. FML
Today, I bought an $80, "invincible" phone case. One test drop later, my phone had turned into an expensive paperweight. FML
Today, my friend told me that Otter Box phone cases protect the phone whether it's thrown or just dropped. I disagreed. He then threw his phone across the room into a cement wall to prove it. The phone's screen was completely shattered and now he thinks I owe him a new phone. FML
Today, I bought a new phone. It's shock proof, water proof, you name it. Just not kitten proof, it seems. That's $400 down the drain. FML
Today, my fancy rubber phone case did its job and saved my phone from damage when I dropped it on the bathroom counter. Unfortunately, it was rather useless after the massive bounce it took before landing in the toilet. FML
Today, I was showing my new iPhone case to my friends, saying how it was scratchproof, shockproof, and waterproof. I demonstrated it by dropping it on the sidewalk from about 5 feet. It bounced onto the road. Apparently, its not truck-proof. FML
Today, I dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML
Today, I dropped my phone. I'd only just bought this new phone last night. It barely survived 12 hours. FML
Today, I found out that the little bumps on the child seats in the Wal-Mart shopping carts are spaced just enough that they can crack my brand new phone's screen past its screen protector in two places. FML
Today, I realized that with all the money I've spent on repairs for my iPhone through the months, I could have bought a phone that doesn't die horribly whenever I so much as give it a mean look. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Lesson learned.] Don't ever leave your phone where your kid can play with it.

Jesus Christ, who spends $500 on a phone? The phone was invented primarily to phone and text people. Need a good camera? By a CAMERA? Need fast internet access, and good games, get a COMPUTER. Want to get good video recordings? BY A BLOODY CAM-CORDER.

I do not need your assumptions. The point I was trying to make is that everything on its own is going to perform superiorly at what it's meant to do, rather than a phone which is good for sending texts and calling people when a land-line is not in range, but even at $500, the phone is probably not going to have insanely fast internet connection, nor will it have a great camera and video recorder when compared with items that are built to complete those tasks, and those tasks only. Thinking about it, although it may cost more than $500 (and added charges for the internet), in the long run, you're getting far better quality for every task than buying an extremely expensive phone that is not as good as the items that could do the tasks with much more efficiency. Also, I will admit, every phone I have ever owned had a very short time in use, before it failed - people I have known have had good phones which have broken, quite quickly in fact. Although the reliability of a $500 is not known to me, I cannot imagine that its reliability is much when compared to separate items. Anything to say?

Why the **** would you have/buy a $500 phone for? You can find another phone probably just as efficient and even about 10-25% that price, lol!
