For future reference, you can buy one of those protective cases and falls aren't a huge deal.

Been there done that LOL

That's why I now have a Droid Turbo 2 with a shatterproof screen.

And yes it really is shatterproof. I have two tiny chunks of screen missing where it hit the concrete - twice.

Hunny has his in the protective case, then wears it in another case on his belt. All I know is it is a smart phone and he gas dropped it a few tonnes. Me, I still have the flip kind that they say is indestructible & waterproof. . I am on my second one though. ☺

My phone is in the otter box case, and it really is tough. Don't want to know how many times is has fallen, but no damage anyways. The thirty bucks spent on it was worth it. My iPad went down the wood stairs inside the house, end over end all the way to the bottom. Thought for sure it was a goner, but it's one tough toy. Not a scratch, and no protective case. Doubt I would have had the same results on concrete though.

+1 on the otter boxes. I have one for my work phone and my work I pad. Drag it through crawlspaces, attics, drop it out of the truck all the time. Everyday for over 2 years now. Definately worth it.

so a smart phone isn't very "smart" after all, who would have guessed, i'll stick with my old Nokia non camera phone.

Get a lifeproof case. (and the insurance from the phone provider)...

 

[jimLE]

i had forgotten about the insurance..in which i can use my phone to get it..im not sure.but i think that i can get it for my moms phone,as well as mine..

 

[Gazrok]

I've actually used my lifeproof case to take pics underwater with no problem....

 

[jimLE]
