iPhone Lovers BEWARE!!!

[Schweppy]

It dropped out of my pocket from at most, 30cm of the ground!

Any ideas would be great...

when i cracked my screen i sent it here

Very good service and fast turn around aswell.

 

[JaseCat]

Ouch!

Do you have insurance?

If not, i know that on the 3g version the glass can be replaced unlike the 2g one as it was all connected.

Good luck!

Im glad i bought a case for mine!

 

[Schweppy]

No insurance....absolutely gutted!

Hopefully it can be replaced easily enough although Apple want £170.

crap phones anyway

Thanks dude! They are charging £160 for the whole screen replacement, I only need the glass replacing, everything else still works.

Thats just what he wanted to hear G4Z.

LoL, i'm beginning to think so too......!

I have dropped all my phones from head height before and they have been fine. This was literally just above the floor!

 

[makavelli]

mine fell out of my pocket from desk height onto a concrete floor and there wasnt a mark on it!

still bought a little case now just to be safe lol

 

[timmmah]

I got one of these on my iphone and insurance.

I'd hate for it to break.

Tip:

Don't drop it.

Maybe it landed on a funny angle, I've dropped mine a few times and doesn't even have a scratch.

 

[Schweppy]

I'm so pissed off....LOL

 

[Bluebeard]

Get a screen and do it yourself.

Ouch.

I thought those were tough.

 

[Schweppy]

Ouch.

I thought those were tough.

So did I!

No joke, dropped from less than a foot and a half!

Thats my letter to Mr Jobs sent!

Any ideas where i'd get just the glass from mate?

 

[matt|H]

Ouch.. dropped mine looooads of times but luckily no damage like that... just covered in scratches.

Best bet is to contact the guys on iFixIt and they should put you in the right direction. You can get all the original iPhone parts but not the 3G parts from them just yet.

Seems like you were unlucky when you see these tests: http://www.pcworld.com/video/id,852-page,1-bid,0/video.html

 

[SoA2k6]

Really? I dropped mine from more than that, it bounced, landed and fully sunmerged into a puddle. Works perfectly, except for a nasty dent on the side.

 

[Hayley]

Some insurers aren't replacing like for like on the iphone anyways, they're replacing with *gb 2g ones (even if you have a 3G)

 

[Rich]

Ouch

 

[sneeks]

I dropped my iPhone this morning but thankfully the case it's in saved it

 

[182-racing-blue]

I just dropped my Apple on the floor and its bruised. Might cut that bit out or have a sandwich instead.

You must have hit the sweet spot. 1st gen were more robust, i dropped mine loads of times but it looks like if you hit the corner of the new ones then bam!! smash!! wallop!!!

 

[gaz_5103]

get insurance quick... it hasnt broke yet, well not tell anyone.

[182-racing-blue]

[sneeks]

[Schweppy]

[DaveLiquid182]

Thank god for the rubber case. I just dropped mine Perfectly unscathed.

 

[Rasclart]

Iphone lovers beware if you have butter fingers and drop your phone on a hard surface it MIGHT break. Shock horror

 

[sneeks]

I upgraded in store but phoned 2302 from my iPhone yesterday and arranged the insurance with customer services.

 

[timmmah]

I done the key test on my screen yesterday to show off to my friends how tough the screen is.

Luckily it is as tough as they say it is. Not a mark.
