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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I dropped my phone. I'd only just bought this new phone last night. It barely survived 12 hours. FML
Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. 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 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, after calling the insurance plan for my new iPhone a "huge waste of money", I promptly dropped it in the store while trying to put it into my pocket, cracking the screen. FML
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, 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, my roommate was making a waterproof iPhone case and decided to use my phone to test it out. It didn't work. FML
Today, I bought an otter box. While setting up my iPhone, I dropped it and it is now shattered. 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?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Reminds me of when I was 6 and I snapped a 'shatterproof' ruler...

Get an otter box or life proof case. Both expensive but great cases!

Yes, because the face needs an exclamation mark.

Clearly that is a Bluetooth headset, 131. Even internet faces need to stay in touch.

You never test it out numb nuts....

Smart case buyers test drop other people's phones.

Even if it was 'invincible', or made the phone invincible at least, it may only be for the first drop, like a crash helmet, so dropping it was a pretty dumb idea all round. At $80, wouldn't it be smarter to save the money for later replacements/repairs, seeing as the phone may later malfunction or something regardless of it being dropped?

Don't intentionally drop your phone.

If this was a lifeproof case, the directions clearly stated to close the case up WITHOUT THE PHONE INSIDE and submerge it underwater to make sure it works.

...the shock of it hitting the ground is the same exact thing as a leaky case.

Should have gotten an Otter Box--it's cheaper and more reliable
