I keep my iPhone in a belt case and (like today) when I wear a shirt not tucked in I have the headset down through my shirt, plugged into the iPhone with the earbuds coming out of my shirt collar opening. They just hang a little or I'll stick them in my shirt pocket until my phone rings.
Sometimes the cord will pull back down inside my shirt and I'll tug it a little to get more slack.
Today I feel something bumping up against my leg... what is it? It's my iPhone hanging freely from the headset cord swinging in the wind over a very hard floor. Scared the heck out of me.
My first thought? I'm glad that cord/plug is so sturdy/tight, my iPhone didn't fall. My second thought? If that cord wasn't so sturdy/tight it wouldn't have pulled my phone out of the case in the first place.
I still have phantom images of the iPhone falling to that hard marble floor.
Plug your headset in and lift the iphone with it (over a table with your hand under it), it will not come out unless you pull it out.
Good or bad? Not sure.
Imagine your headset getting caught on something and taking the phone with it instead of the plug just coming loose.
Really tight engineering. I wonder if the recessed plug has much to do with that.
