Fragile Bird Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I have the previous iPhone (the 8s?). It bent and cracked, possibly from me falling asleep and rolling on it one night while listening to a book. Got a replacement under extended warranty and now I see the glass protective cover has a crack in it. I don’t know if it came from dropping the phone or if somehow the phone has been bent once again. I have been very careful this time around, and it has a tough protective shell on it. I can’t see a bend just looking at it. This model had a real problem with bending when it first came out but later versions were supposed to have fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S John Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Probably twice. I love the sleek look of an iPhone without the stupid, clunky suit of armor everyone puts on there. Completely ruins the aesthetic of the object. But, so does a cracked screen, and ever since I started using an otterbox a couple of phones ago I have not cracked the screen again and I drop my phone all the time.

Gertrude Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Never. I like the sleek profile of a phone without a cover too, but I'd rather have a functioning one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stannis Eats No Peaches Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Not once. I’m always mystified by how many cracked screens I’ve seen. I’m clumsy and have dropped my phone phone many times before, but it’s never cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have pegged you as the inventer of the otterbox.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Never, which, is weird, I don't have any sort of case or anything and I drop the thing all the time. (It's an iPhone 8). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 On topic - once. Have since then started using different casings. Prefer those that haven't got any hard plastic holding the phone - I've destroyed a couple of those cases by dropping the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartofice Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Nope never. I always have either a cover or a case on it and that seems to prevent it cracking when dropped But then I don’t tend to drop it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 in my experience (and i've never owned one) i phone screens must be made out of the most fragile material known to man. everyone i know with an i phone has a cracked screen. Another reason, along with not wanting to look like a souless dickhead, not to own one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impmk2 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Too many times. Couple times getting out of the car and forgetting it's on my lap, and once via a pretty epic hole in my shorts pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueMetis Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Once, though I believe it's just the screen protector that it cracked not the actual screen, haven't got around to verifying since it doesn't really impact performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argonath Diver Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I've shattered the everliving crap out of multiple phones, but all those were by my own hand, and all but one were after whatever phone was no longer working. Then again, I find it extremely cathartic to break (expensive) electronics - keyboards being the best feeling ever. I don't understand how many hundreds of people I've met with accidentally cracked phones. I've dropped phones so many times and never cracked one. My phones have cases on them? I just don't get it. Are people throwing them at walls? Again, I've done that, so I'd understand more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertrude Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Just a stray thought, but I wonder if age has anything to do with the tendency to crack a screen or not? I'm not talking stereotypes about young kids not valuing things or older people just being more careful in general. When I got my first smartphone, it was a god-damned miracle. I was well into adulthood and grew up with my Atari (actually an Intellivision console, but no one knows what that is :p) Still young enough to take to technology, but old enough to treat it with reverence because it's a fucking hand-held computer! I mean, I'm over that now and I don't particularly treat them with great care, but I do have a residual sense of them being valuable and fragile and am mostly always aware of it and where it is.
