Hello All !

I was at the gym today listening to my iPhone music while running.

Suddenly, the i lost my balance (details not important) and my iPhone dropped and fell and i believe i dropped it 2 times! doh.gif - first on the treadmill and second on the floor! rclxub.gif poor iPhone..

Thankfully, the was no damage- the screen was ok and no additional scratches! flex.gif
I admit i can be a klutz at times, and i hv dropped my iPhone (while it was without any protective casing) a number of times, and it has managed to be ok!

From my experience, this is a very sturdy phone.

This event inspired me to create this post. Im wondering whether other iPhone users hv had similar experiences, and whether they ended in pleasant surprises (i.e. no damage to iPhone) rclxms.gif or whether it ended in utter disaster. cry.gif

Do share smile.gif

totally correct. better go for the phone case and spend RM150+ rather then a scratch or crack on the screen and spend RM1k+.
