Poll: How many people have dropped their iPhone 4?

[Petey-ed]

And has it survived the "drop". I hear horror stories on here about there cracked screens, but now that we have a couple weeks of use I thought I would throw this poll out to see how well it's held up.

EDIT: POLL IS SUPPOSE TO FINISH WITH THE SENTENCE, "AND DID IT HAVE DAMAGE AFTER YOU DROPPED IT?"

Poll meant for only people that have dropped their iPhone 4.

I dropped mine from my lap getting out of my truck. It hit the asphalt and I expected the worst, but didn't have a scratch on it. I have an iFrog case from the AT&T store while I'm waiting for Vaja to hurry up with their iPhone 4 cases.

Edit: I don't really think your answer options make sense, you can still drop your phone if it has a case on it.

Your poll's a little confusing. They should all say YES and then continue with their sentence.

For example, "Yes, but it survived unscathed." Or "Yes, survived unscathed but had a case on."

 

[Petey-ed]

I screwed up the poll, its suppose to basically only "poll" people who HAVE dropped their phones and whether it cracked....

Where do I edit the damn poll?

So far mine has only slid off the couch onto the carpet. But I used to drop my 3G multiple times per month. Just a klutz I guess! I have a case for my iPhone 4, but it's really not as rubbery as I'd like. Still, it's better than nothing until something better comes along.

 

[iMrNiceGuy0023]

your poll is dumb, No I didnt drop it, but YES it survived a drop with a case is what the 3rd option is saying

I got lucky, dropped onto a wooden floor, survived with no scratches or damage.

 

[sheppy1]

I dropped it within 5 minutes of taking it out of the box, I put a screen protector on it and then it fell off my lap and went sliding across the floor, the screen protector was covered in scratches, lucky I put it on when I did

I dropped it again last night too, again I had it on my lap, I stood up and it fell from my lap (About 4 feet) and landed back first on the hard wood floor, no damage to the phone at all, think I need to be more careful with my iPhone from now on though lol

Wow buy a table!

lol +1

 

[daihard]

I haven't dropped mine yet, but I'm sure I will pretty soon. I won't worry about it too much. iPhone or not, it will break when it breaks.

lol I have my computer desk which it sits on when I'm not using it, it's just the cables not long enough for me to have it plugged into the back of my PC then up the back of my desk to somewhere I can connect my iPhone into it so I just plug it into the front of my PC and rest it on my lap while I sync it

Over the years, I've just learned not to put my phones on my lap. I always forget that it's there when I get up.

Where's the option for just "No"?

Mine dropped out of my shorts the other day; sat in an Adirondack chair (where one's butt is lower than one's knees), crossed my leg as I was about to enjoy a nice cup of coffee by the water, and next thing I hear is my phone dropping on the cement Wrapsol front/back/sides installed, no case. It must've fallen on a corner, because the plastic (?) trim between the metal and glass got slightly gouged (or is that part of the glass?), as did a tiny part of the metal. I'm guessing it would've been worse without the Wrapsol protection, and I'm extremely happy my glass didn't crack.

I bought a Belkin Clear Vue the next day. Had to remove part of the Wrapsol to fit, but happy with the combo I now have.

Sorry I wasn't clear up front. This poll is only for people that HAVE dropped their iPhone 4. The poll is to demonstrate if survival rates are good with or without cases.

 

[puggles]

Dropped it from my bead a couple times...no damage

 

[iDabble]

survived a very short fall from my pocket with no case. i was sitting in my chair and it slipped out of my pocket and fell probably a foot and a half onto the floor. no cracks, no visible damage, very impressed

 

[Maverick1337]

Your poll is rather odd. A no is a no lol, where is that option.

 

[jav6454]

There is no option for a complete "No, I haven't droped it."

 

[Ronnoco]

I think there have been more dropped phones than dropped calls...

 

[tigress666]

While it is too bad you messed up the wording (I figured it out before reading your statement saying what you meant), thank you for posting the poll because it helps put my mind at better ease (cause you only hear on this forum those who have dropped it and it had pretty bad damage. It's nice to see there are many people who even dropped it naked and it was fine).

I've dropped mine (twice, once on hard floor, once on carpet) but it had a case both times and the one on hard floor it only dropped maybe a couple a feet if not less.

 

[Petey-ed]

I just dropped mine last night ironically. On concrete and it hit HARD. Only some small scuffs on the edges on the back, barely noticeable. Debating a bumper today, but impressed the beating it just took.

 

[DeePeezy]

I dropped mine on monday. The floor is tile and it probably would have been just fine but it hit a metal shelf on the way down and chipped the cheap plastic black frame surroung the screen and a scuffed the steel band. Very minor but it still pisses me off. I decided going caseless with my IP4 was a bad idea.

 

[skunk]

Dropped three times onto concrete from 3' up. Landed on the bumper corner each time. No damage at all.
