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 dropped my phone. I'd only just bought this new phone last night. It barely survived 12 hours. 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, 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

A tale as old as… well, 2007?
Today, I got my phone fixed after the screen had been shattered for four months straight. Then, the moment they handed it to me, it fell straight to the floor and shattered. Again. FML

Today, I shattered my iPhone screen. Pieces of glass are chipping out and can easily slice up any idiot who slides their finger across the screen. Unfortunately, I was that idiot. There's blood in the cracks of my screen. FML

what in the name of chuck norris' left nut is an otterbox and why Is it more important than your phone

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.

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.

its a iphone case dumbass. and **** that chuck norris shit. so yes the protection of the iphone keeps the iphone looking new so in some cases its pretty important.

Was it the cheap $30 one if so they needed the $50 one . Mines paid for itself countless amounts of time .

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...
Pawned71 0
yes but the real issue is "will it blend?"
sourgirl101 29
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.
iSurf_fml 8
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?
onlydrew 0
Actually, you can remove the screen on the iPhone4.
iSurf_fml 8
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.

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.
RiiOT09 9
apple's warranty would never cover something like that. they clearly state that water and accidental damage isn't covered.
EriccaLuv 0
31, so it covers purposeful damage?
clarkie007 0
31, u lie to apple and they will fix it for free
jonathan6773 5
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.
