Do you let others touch your phone? I'm extremely anal with mine and I keep it naked, I hate when people with dirty hands want to touch it

It's not a ***** gameboy!
 
Of course I do. My friends are cool people and respectful of other people's things. Wipe it on your shirt if you have to, jeez.
 
Yeah I let them but they seem to get a lot of satisfaction from it. It's practically the females new bestfriend.
 
I only let people I really trust hold mine. Otherwise, I don't let anyone touch it. I'm super possessive.
 
If someone wants to see it I let them. My neighbors daughter played w/ it for half an hour the other night and I let the guy at the gas station fondle it too. :eek:
 
Calm down dude. It's just a breakthrough Internet device.

A breakthrough internet communication device* (as SJ calls it).

Surprisingly not many people have asked me about my iPhone 4 but of course I'd let them have a go on it if I knew them.
 
Has it come to this?

Mine's naked and no one has had the audacity to ask to play with it.

Guy: Is that the iPhone 4?
Me: Yea. (walks away)
 
kinda on the fence about that...last time I let someone hold my iPhone it was a chick who was supposed to be putting her phone number in my contacts....long story short she dropped it and put a dent in it...this was in 2007 with my original iPhone...no one has ever touched any of my later models, unless they understand that by taking it in their hands they accept responsibility for any damage that might occur...and they must sit down while holding it using their lap as a means to "break the fall"...and they must understand touchscreen technology...one chick was trying to put her number in but was clicking the screen with her nails...I immediately took my phone back
 
I hate to say it, but I have no problem telling everyone they can see it, but only in my hands. I refuse to put my phone in any ones hands. You never know what could happen. I'm also a big germaphobe... I don't shake hands either. If any of my friends were interested, they would have one.
 
It's a phone with a value of $600. If it was a Rolex I could understand, but if your friends are worth less than a phone to you then there are other more serious problems for you to attend to. :rolleyes:
 
I usually take off my case when anyone asks to see it, just to show off how thin and shiny it is. People are amazed at how beautiful it looks. I just make sure they don't hold it over a great height. :D
