[Ngorkes]

Call outer box and complaine(assuming the case is under its 1 year warenty)

Im quite amazed at how long this thread is actually getting with lots of the replies saying the same thing.

The original OP going quiet says enough !

PhD in Physics with a minor in Engineering says what happened was it WAS a 4 foot drop, in the persons hand all the way down, fingers under top, full weight of person on palm, fingers acted as a fulcrum shattering glass and bending the case.
Otherwise this is some kind of weird joke.

Let's see this PhD in physics for youto explain the way it happened

Do you want him to take a picture, a photocopy, or hand deliver it?

 

[Leet Apple]

You seem like the Dos Equios guy

I dropped my iPhone 4s onto the concrete about 5 feet high and only had some flimsy little rubber case on it... It didn't even have a scratch! I was lucky because it landed on its side twice before it landed on the screen. It took the brunt of the fall. My screen wasn't scratched either. I felt like the luckiest man on earth that day

If he held the iPhone in his hand on a height of 4 feet, then tripped and landed on the iPhone while the iPhone was on an uneven surface -> Plausible.

Iphone is pretty tough. OP probably went rage on the phone.

I managed to track down a picture of the OP lol

If OP simply went away for the weekend and was cut off from the Internet, he'll be back tonight or tomorrow to defend himself.

If he is of such small spirit that trolling on computer forums is the only pasttime that sustains him, then he has given up far more than any of us.

Good picture, either way.

+1. (without the phd in physics)

So you are willing to keep the minor in engineering? (just checking)

Yikes, I've dropped my iPhone in a commuter case higher then that and it's mint. That sucks.

i also on a tile floor and i fell down 4 steps with it and it like was sorta tossed out of my hand. not a scratch!!!

 

[AppleDApp]

I shot my old iPhone 3G and it's in better shape than this.

 

[ajvizzgamer101]

Should have used an Apple approved Bumper.

i think my favorite part of this is that your friend was googling nicki minaj

Cool, I'd buy that from your friend if I had some extra cash lying around. Could use a new door stopper.

Maybe it was thrown to the ground at 200mph from 4 feet. No way a 4 foot drop being pulled by gravity could cause that. Maybe he was 4 feet away from the train when he dropped it in the track? 4 feet CAN NOT cause a glass shatter that bad. A student at my school brought his gf iPhone to me. She was taking a picture and the phone fell from one floor to another. That was a one story drop onto tile. No case. It was an iPhone 4. Glass was shattered. But not as bad as this. It also wasn't bent.

I find it hard to believe that a 4 foot drop in a fricken OTTERBOX would do this.

 

[djn4eva]

samething just happend to me. walking my dog and my iPhone 4s landed flat on the sidewalk. now the entire screen is shattered!!

this makes me wonder if there is even a need for a case. by the way i dont have insurance so how much would it cost me to get it fixed or replaced?

199$ for the 16gb model depending on your country.

I see BENT-GATE is not just exclusive to the iPhone 5!

 

[darngooddesign]

My girls has chucked her Otterboxed iPhone across the room and its always been fine.

I've read every post on this thread and all I can say is bravo op. you've definitely trolled everyone to the point where you don't even have to post anymore and people are still arguing.
