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

Today, I bought an $80, "invincible" phone case. One test drop later, my phone had turned into an expensive paperweight. 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

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 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

It must have been an otterbox! Go to eBay and look for a ballistic case for about 8 bucks takes a couple weeks to get to u but that case is amazing and they have videos to show how perfect that case is! Life is nothing without iPhones I ? apple

Why would you spend $40 on an iphone case. Just sayin. That couldve been for a better cause

It's not the case that saves your phone. It's your own skill and dexterity. Practice handling it like a juggler or a magician. Practice not dropping it. That is much better protection than any case. The only thing a case needs to be is non-slip.
