They get broken so fast if you drop it. Hope the redesign for the iPhone 5/6 will be better.

Yep, just like the iPhone 4. Drop it once and it's broken.

Don't drop it then! I dropped mine (iPhone 4) more than once and it is still working...only a few scratches that's it. Stop complaining.

It's a phone not a football.

Ive dropped my 4 plenty of times...its not broken at all.

What exactly does this have to do with build quality? The iPhone 4/4S has possibly the best build quality I've ever seen in a phone.

Was kind of hoping they used a metal backplate for the iPhone 4S to be honest. Oh well...

Are people going to purposely drop their iPhone? No, so stop whining about it shattering. Want more protection, get a case.

Nothing. Another case of mixing up "build quality" with "durability."
