My girlfriend's father ran over his beloved iPhone today. It fell out of his back pocket when he got in the car. Then he heard it get crushed and got out to see what the noise was. It was the phone, unforutunately.

It had one of the Otterbox cases on it so if you were wondering if these cases can protect the phone from you running it over with your car, they can't.

I thought this might be interesting for some.
 
lol.


my buddy actually ran over his 3G with his Volvo, but he was a little luckier than this guy. his screen was still pretty cracked, but readable somehow.
 
Take it to Apple and see if they will do out of warranty exchange for $199.

I'm sure they will. My coworker left his 3GS on his car, started driving down a 50MPH street, heard something fly off. Found it in pretty much two pieces. Phone, then the screen. Replaced it for 199. Hell of a deal.
 
Wow hell of a spiderweb you got there... but hopefully a nice new replacement is in order.
 
You should take it in and tell them you have no idea what happened. You just woke up and it was like that and you want a warranty replacement. Would love to see the look on their faces.:p
