  • my iphone x slipped out of my pocket a few months ago and because of how it hit the concrete i had a big long crack all the way down 

    it's a good thing i have apple care because without it i would pay 350 to have the screen repaired, with it i paid only 29

    In the past, I've dropped mine in the toilet and put it through the washing machine. A couple days ago, I left mine on the playground at an elementary school as well. Goodness only knows what fate might have befallen it, but I realized it was MIA about ten minutes later and went back for it.

    Dropping it in water. If this happens, put it in a bucket of rice. The rice will attract Japanese, who will fix your technology for you ...

  • I've dropped my phone on concrete from about 3.5' about 100 times and no problems.  I dropped it the other day on a wood floor from 1.5' and the screen cracked. -__-

    on my older cellphone, the screen was all cracked and miracle, one day it all peeled off in a single layer, and the screen wasnt cracked no more... its like the phone had a second screen under the cracked screen.
