Hi everybody, hope all is fine.

I was at the gym today, and I was running on the threadmill as it was my cardio day today. Well, I placed my iPhone 6 on the device holder but whilst I was running it fell off onto the threadmill.

There are no visible damages as it was protected by the Spigen Slim Armor case. But I was wondering if any of the internal hardwares will go loose? Anybody enlighten me with good and proper answer? :) Thanks!
 
Its possible but unlikely. If the phone is working as you expect it too, then you probably dodged a bullet. :)

I have a Spigen Slim Armor, seems like a very protective case. As long as everything works ok, you should be fine.
 
This is why I still keep my iPod around. Works great for working out and if I drop it the loss isn't that big.:)

Should be okay, you had a case on it too
 
*treadmill.

Lucky you had a case on it, also lucky you didn't trample it by the sounds of things
 
Was never a fan of taking phones into gym.. Rather take an old iPod or something instead
 
Hey guys, thanks for your reply. I noticed that I have distorted sounds when I make a phone call but it does not happen on every call. Common problem or due to my drop?

I had a close call on a treadmill with my iPhone 4 back in the day. Since then, I don't use my iPhone in the gym. Heck, because treadmills are kind of boring and I prefer running outside, I mostly avoid the gym anyways. Only on the rare occasion that the weather is so bad will I use the treadmill.
 
You're fine. I've dropped my iPhone 5 numerous times... Still like new.

You didn't loosen anything. If it works, it's fine.

I'm not gentle with my phones at all... if anything was gonna break, it would've been the cosmetics.
 
Hey everyone, I headed down to one of the Authorized Service Provider here in Singapore and they refused to change a set for me. The employee said that if its an hardware issue for the distorted calls, it would happen constantly but not occasionally. Maybe Im just too conscious about my phone..
 
I've had a hard time adjusting to the taller phone (iphone 6) not fitting down in my Northface front pocket. It is just tall enough that if I bend down to pick something up it falls out. Has fallen three times now, twice on concrete and once on ceramic tile and I have to say that my spigen neo hybrid has done it's job and my phone doesn't ha e a scratch on it. Feel like I'm dodging bullets though. Going to have to remember to zip that pocket.
 
There are no moving parts on these devices. The internals are so tightly packed, it's more likely the chassis would chip or crack before the internals are damaged.

I've dropped my 6 with it's case, it's fine.
 
If anything was wrong you would know. There's no moving parts so the likely hood of something breaking is very low from a short drop. The worst thing you need to worry about is cracked screens and dents.
 
Hey guys, I appreciate all your replies. So far, I've only experienced the distorted sounds twice after I dropped my iPhone. Should I bring it to Apple for a replacement of device or am I just being too conscious?
 
My 5S flew off the treadmill(literally) when it actually fell onto the moving part on the treadmill and hit the treadmill behind me. No issues. You're fine, these phones are pretty solid. Apparently, all you have to worry about is bending, LOL!

You're definitely worrying too much about it. As long as a drop does not result in a broken screen or something similar, then you should be totally fine.
 
i was doing inclined bench presses and i decided to go 1 rep over my usual set. well.. i made it 75% through then dropped them on my chest and on to my legs.
where my iphone 6 was.
i thought i'd bent it but nope it's good
these phones are more durable than people give them credit for.

or maybe i just dont lift heavy enough weights lol.....
