My iPhone was introduced to the local creek on a kayaking trip recently. I had two bags that I had waterproofed, one with clothes and a towel, the other with keys, wallet, and phone… Stuff I’d need to have on me to get there with my class, but didn’t want to leave out somewhere.
I think you already know which bag stayed waterproof and which one didn’t.
I dropped my BlackBerry Bold on the ground in the first week I had it. It left a nice little scar on the upper right corner of the bezel.
Good news is that my bezel can be replaced for $12. I still haven’t done it yet because I need to get a good case first…and I haven’t found any I like.
If I were you I’d take this as an opportunity to get a phone that has parts that can actually be replaced. Like…a BlackBerry.
My buddy forgot he was holding his cell phone and dropped it into his coffee. He thought he had put his cell phone down and was putting sugar in the coffee instead.
I’ve dropped my Treo more time than I can count. It’s held up pretty well all things considered, but it’s finally starting to show signs that it’s going to die soon. It’s one of the reasons I’ve been phone shopping lately.
