    I have dropped my 3gs and had it tumble (bounce), but I have a skullcandy cases for my phone - The only damage that has occurred to my phone is around the top inner rim of the headphone jack (a little piece of plastic chipped off)

    I do tech support for iPhone and some of the general questions I ask people is;
    1. how they break their phone, and
    2. if they use a case

    ...I have yet to get a call about someone who had a case and had their screen break

    true, we have the extended service agreement (APP) but all that gets you is 2 years of hardware LIMITED warranty+Phone support, Limited meaning NO accidental damage/water damage/lost or stolen phone

    That's why apple is selling the bumper case for 30 dollars because they no the phones glass will shatter if it falls. Plus I believe that the windows in trains are thicker and stronger. It's all about cost and maybe a flawed design. We will see soon

    Am I the only one who knows about squaretrade? I've got their warranty on most of my products and whenever I use it inhale no problems.

    The iPhone could have been bullet proof and yet I would still go get myself a casing, Ivyskin that is... I'm hopping that they will make a case as good as the one for 3G[s] Protection all over (front glass and back cover full protection).

    I was actually surprised with the durablitity of my 3g-3gs. They where my first smartphones and I droped them total 10 times and never broke the glass or chipped the plastic. Maybe a scuff but all ok. I also never used a case just a invisa-shield.

    i dropped my 3gs many times with nothing on it and its never caused the screen to crack
    the only time ive broke the screen was when i had a bottle of cologne in my back pocket and set on my iphone (the cologne bottle was thicker and i weigh 150 lbs) but that is understandable
    i think the new phone will be fine

    My wife keeps hers in her bra. we were at disneyland and she bent over, the phone fell out, and cracked the screen. I took the phone into the apple store to a 'genius' and asked for their one time courtesy repair. The guy did it for free, replaced the broken screen.

    I find it hilarious how 'Unknown' is annoyed for people deviating from the topic yet he himself has deviated from the topic haha. Idiot.

    I wouldn't dare throw mine at my wife, she'd throw me at the nearest moving car!

    Am I the only 'Non-Clumsy' fuc*er here then?
    I'd rather chuck my wife than my phone :-)

    Seriously though (on-topic especially for unknown) I carry my Gs everywhere, including battlefield, and I've never ever dropped it. Rather drop my weapon than my phone!!

    I rekon that 'repair company' are just Bandwagon Jumping, end of!! If they go chucking they're spares around for fun, what the **** they going to do with a phone??
    Them: "Sorry sir, your home button problem repair caused a few dents and cracks, oh, and you need a new screen too"
    Me: "in that case, allow me to pay you with my entire 23rd Regiment out of Chelsea"

    Stupid Fucking Repair Shop!!!

    Seriously though, they didn't say it was unbreakable lol! ifixyouri dropped it twice and the phone survived. Who would drop their phone 3 times in a row? I would think if someone dropped their phone once, they'd be extra careful.

    they should make it out of the same stuff that the black box in planes is made out of so it can survive anything, or maybe out of leftover space shuttle tiles, they can withstand being dropped from orbit...

    I was hoping this article wouldn't get publicity. :(
    If you really look into it, it's a fake stunt to get website hits.

    Some guy even noted the specific areas on the screen where you can tell they used something to crack it, not a drop.

    News is so hard to trust anymore. :/

    ive had three 3g. one the screen broke (had a cheap silcone case) when i was sitting on it. The other a leather case (dropped it) the housing split apart. The otter box is by far the best 40' fall off the scaffold, nothing wrong with the phone (speaker hole slight ding in case). Im learning the iphone was not made for contractors, just office monkeys.
