I dropped my iPhone 3g 51 Stories Down, Its Broken....

[siz]

Well i was testing out my otter box so i threw my iPhone out Of a friend apartment window on floor 51, When i picked it up the whole otter box seemed Intact with no damage but my iPhones LCD seems to be dodgy or broken and it keeps vibrating for no reason sometimes, i also have a pin on it which i may of entered too many times by accident but i don't have delete data after 10 tries on, i just want my iphone to work...


Half of the screen looks like a barcode.

[neesh0]

you are joking.....right?

[J*man]

If you actually did do this then you deserve to have a ruined iPhone. What did you think would happen?

[kitch95]

you threw your iphone out of the window on the 51st floor?:eek: Arn't those things just ment to be dust and drop proof? on smash proof or somthing

[LewisBeechey]

Silly, silly man.

[Moi un Mouton]

I think you should demand a refund on the otter box

[siz]

the screen has a few lines down it in black and the screen is white sometimes its the other was round, is that broken LCD?

I also dropped it 20 floors in the otter before and it was ok.

[ucfgrad93]

Wow, I surely wouldn't have ever done that.

[siz]

Wow, I surely wouldn't have ever done that.

The point is it shouldn't of broken and i cannot make calls ! :'(

[calculus]

i just want my iphone to work...



Then don't throw it out of the 51st floor window then!

And while we're on the subject of damage, how much harm do you think you could have caused an unfortunate passer-by had it hit them?

[mr.stinki]

You fraking idiot...No case will protect your iPhone from 51 ****** FLOORS!!

Otterbox says that it'll protect it from drops, not plummeting from 600 feet....

[MBHockey]

haha this is a joke right?

No joke there's the screen looks like a barcode at that side, i cannot take a great picture on my iMac due to super-bright screen which i could dim if i used my other keyboard but i'm not using that 1, anyway there's proof i'm not lying so can people stop thinking its a joke.

There is no passers by it hit a grassy area behind his apartment building that is overgrown and not in use....

[ucfgrad93]

The point is it shouldn't of broken and i cannot make calls ! :'(

Please show me where Otterbox makes the claim that it will survive a fall of 51 stories or of about 400 feet.

[zed]

Otterbox is good from 50 stories, not 51. There lies your problem.

Please don't joke about this is SERIOUS! & By the way the otter box is in mint condition.

"The OtterBox for iPhone® 3G Defender™ Series follows in the Defender Series tradition by offering stylish and sophisticated protection. First, a thin, clear membrane covers your Touch Screen to help prevent scratches and dings. Second is a hard, strong Polycarbonate skeleton that surrounds your device. Wrapped around all of this is a Silicone skin that absorbs bump and shock, protecting against the accidental drop from 50 stories*. Included with the case is a ClipStand holster."

*Please note that 51 stories is not covered under our warranty

Sorry man, had to...
:D

[rKunda]

You're right... it shouldn't be broken.*

*It wouldn't have broken if you hadn't thrown it out a window.

Your fault. Level on sympathy: 0

[ttech10]

Please don't joke about this is SERIOUS! & By the way the otter box is in mint condition.

Sorry, but somebody throwing an iPhone out of a 51st story window is a joke. How'd you even come in contact with enough money to buy one of these anyways?

[ajwchin]

Honestly how dense can you get?

People like you who treat their valuables like this do not deserve to own the iPhone or any device for that matter.

*Cough* Insurance Fraud *cough*

How on earth do you expect people not to think that this is a joke ....I mean , come on ....


Well at the very least I hope your lesson has been learned , but somehow I doubt it judging by your responses to other comments in this joke of a thread.

I feel your loss but seriously ...what did you expect ?

[ajwchin]

i hereby cast my nomination for thread of the year.

Seconded!

[PcBgone]

How do you survive on this planet?

Unfortunately, we are at the top of the food chain. We have no natural predators to eat the sick or stupid...

bit strong that IMHO.
In fairness all guns should be like this then folk who feel the need to go shoot something , can , without the rest of the world living in fear !.

[Wetworks]

I dropped mine 52 stories today after seeing this thread. So far the only problem is that one of the speakers on the bottom doesn't seem to be working. :rolleyes:

[jmann]

You deserve this for being so careless. What did you expect to get out of dropping it out of a building? Just a cool story to tell people if it did come out without a scratch? Well that didn't work. Now all you have is a cool story to tell that will make people laugh at you.


oh yeah and a f***ked up iPhone. :rolleyes:

[bbotte]

Well with no 13th floor it was 50 stories.....

[ajwchin]

Well with no 13th floor it was 50 stories.....

And here comes the ambiguity. In the thread title he says 51 stories but in the message he says 51st floor. Which one is true? Hmm.....

[dongadrew]

Yep your right my my iphone survive after being drop from a 50 stories building.:D



Seriously though what were you thinking.

[SkippyThorson]

You fraking idiot...No case will protect your iPhone from 51 ****** FLOORS!!

That sums up my thoughts on your first point pretty well.

Please don't joke about this is SERIOUS! & By the way the otter box is in mint condition.

Serious is shelling out money for a device that you're entirely stupid enough to throw out of a 51st story window. You are bar none hands down take the cake the most idiotic person I have ever met.

~edit~ Too mean. You're just a moron. Good day.

[Dr. Cabrera]

wow what an idiot


can someone see if they can get this on the front page of Digg

And I'm really happy that you didn't hit anyone. And learn the lesson.

good point!
the OP should seek some professional help. Pretty impressive that the otter kept all of the bits together I guess...:rolleyes:

I know I shouldnt do this, but can you post a pic??

[motulist]

You're all responding to a troll. This is an obviously fictional story designed to get responses, and you're all "falling" right for it.

[Cheffy Dave]

The point is it shouldn't of broken and i cannot make calls ! :'(

Buddy, you have a few geraniums in your cranium. Tell your doctor to up your meds. 52 floors and "it shouldn't have broken"???????:eek:
Damn cheap Apple crap:rolleyes: un-freakin- believable:D

[hazza.jockel]

try throwing it back up, that will probably fix it.

[ajwchin]

Hey since it's broken now, can I have it? I need a new frisbee.

[joeconvert]

I am calling trolling here, but on the off chance you aren't.... I mean come on? What is the thought process on this? Never mind throwing or dropping anything out of a 51st floor window. Weren't you the least bit concerned about damaging something or somebody else?

[joeconvert]

Generalize much?

I am too. What made you throw it out the 51st floor?

[marbles]

Generalize much?

what ??

[siz]

Just to let you guys know I took the iPhone back and got a replacement because it is under warranty, I lost all my phone data though and the backup file wouldn't work.

Thank you all anyway guys.

And they didn't realise you had chucked it out a Window?

Jesus Christ they must be stupider than you.

You don't deserve that phone at all, pay for your mistakes.

On another note, try chucking it out the Window again, lightening doesn't strike twice does it?

[trajansburton]

Out of all the things to throw out the window you choose your iPhone? Why not your old WM or your stupidness?

[pilotkid]

I can see the headline on CNN right now. "Idiot tries to test iPhone case by dropping iPhone 51 stories, iPhone hits innocent pedestrian in the head and killed him. Idiot is now in prison with manslaughter charges.":rolleyes:

[NT1440]

Why in the hell would someone think that would work?

51 stories man!

If theres no padding the iphones still going to feel the G's, its simple physics!

Sure the case may survive but all the components from the inside of the phone are going from probably somewhere near terminal velocity (51 stories is REALLY up there) to 0 in a fraction of a second.

[astrogirl426]

Alas, there is no warranty against stupid.

[xxd19]

Wow that is the Second :eek::eek: thing i have ever heard in my life the first is when my friend got pissed at apple and smashed his MB in the apple store and started swearing at them

[bsheridan]

...and it keeps vibrating for no reason sometimes...

Love it!:p

Man you should be a lawyer if this story is true:p

[mkrishnan]

Thank you for bringing this thread back to our attention. Off to the wasteland it goes. ;)
