It really doesn't matter how careful you are. Anything can happen at any moment. I was sitting down comfortably at the bookstore and somehow it just slipped out of my hands really forcefully and it careened under the upside of the table by my headphones. I was trying to save it from hitting the ground.
How bad is it?
It's within 14 days. The clerk offered me buyer protection, but I actively turned it down twice. Then she said I could bring it back if I ever needed it as long as the condition was okay.
I'm going to return it first thing tomorrow. I can already see... this phone is too light it's prone to drop, I just dropped it again. That's 5 times in one day.
I had a hard time believing that iPhone 5's scratch easily. I thought people were just being too judgmental. But it happened to me. The awkward shape of the new iPhone makes it weird to hold. It keeps falling out of my hand.
Just typing feels like trying to spin a plate with a stick. The keyboard is all the way down here and the screen is all the way up there.

Holding it in the manner this guy is holding it is like a balancing act, you will drop it.
I didn't think the iPhone 5 was easily scratched, but it really is. Which is odd because for such an expensive phone, for a build quality that is so "Great", it seems cheaper than a regular Android phone.
It might be plastic, but at least it feels durable. Every time I cross the street, I crap my pants because I know that the first drop of this iPhone 5 on cement will be its last.
I just know it.
Return the phone. BUt do not blame Apple for your carelessness. You dropped the phone. Accept the responsibility of your own actions.

This is the first iPhone I ever officially purchased, but because it is just so light, it's way eas easier to drop,
I hope Apple denies the OP's return because of the damage.
Seriously. It is a phone, a tool. If you wanted it in mint condition you should have left it in the box and only brought it out in padded room with gloves on to show your equally neurotic buddies.
Keep blaming Apple for your neuroses, I think it's working!
I tried telling them that the iPhone wouldn't sync to iTunes, but they told me to bring in my computer.
(Meh). So I'm going to try to take it to another Cricket and get the exchange.
Nothing like lying. Your mother should be so proud of you.
I have a week old iPhone 5 in black. I have it naked with no case or screen protector and it has a scratch on the top right of the screen. In the last 2 phone I've had "galaxy s3 and galaxy note 2" I had them naked and not a single scratch in 2yrs of use. I'm very very careful with my phones and have a dedicated pocket that I only put the phone in. How the hell could this have happened?? Do Apple use inferior scratch resistant coating??
I'd never lie, that's not realistic. Actually, every time I try to sync my iPhone, somebody else's email address shows up in the login popup for iCloud and then the phone says, "Could not successfully set up phone."
