Default I dropped my phone

I was so careful this whole time. I never worried about dropping a phone so much until I got my iphone.

I've dropped my phone many times. Make sure you have a case to absorb future impacts. Mine still doesn't have a scratch.

Did you pick it up? Forgive me if this seems like a dumb question; but if you cant start a new thread saying you dropped it, at the very least I can ask if you picked it up?

I have a second older phone that I use for when I go out drinking. Perks of having a GSM phone I guess.

My friend works as a mgr for a club here in LA. He is finding lost iPhones all the time. He is actually honest and sends them all back to the local Apple store, where they reunite them with their owners.

when you dropped it why not pick it up? Problem solved?

Just messing man, but you should really invest in a case, I recommend the iskin, as well as a screen protector. If you have a few scratches on it the case will cover it, so yea no problemo, you never have to see them again
