Greetings,
I just want to share with you folks about my story of having OCD about my iPhones, which can be expandable to other Apple products, but for the purpose of this iPhone forum, I will mention about iPhones.
I have used all four generations of iPhone. However, for the first three, I did not use them with care. I just threw them around, never applied screen protectors and never used a single case. That was my typical teenager's laissez-faire attitude.
However, since the first time I owned an iPhone 4, my mind has changed. I seem to be extremely obsessed with my handset, maybe because I have become an adult or because the phone somehow looks more beautiful and professional than the previous models, so I would have probably wanted to keep it in a good shape.
There is nothing wrong having OCD about a device, especially when it is expensive and of premium quality, however I think that I have moved a step further. Since last year, I have owned three iPhone 4. My first one was well taken cared of until I hurled it with anger at the wall; I was having issues with my relationship back then. After calming down, I picked up the phone, and fortunately the screen did not shatter. However, there is a scratch in the bottom corner of the plastic frame of the phone. I decided to take it into an Apple Store, sell it back to them for a very cheap price, and buy another fresh new one. The second one lasted undamaged until I accidentally dropped it on the concrete sidewalk. Well, you can guess the next part of the story.
This is my third iPhone 4. There are many minor scratches and one small dent around the phone. However, I am trying not to be obsessed with the phone, because in my mind, I know that iPhone 5 is coming soon, thus, there is no point in buying a new iPhone 4 again.
Despite going to Apple Store every fortnight or month, to buy a new case and re-apply screen protectors, I am still a tad careless with my device sometimes. This is maybe a huge problem coupled with my OCD because I just want to visit Apple Stores again and again.
That is my story. Please feel free to share yours here. If you think you cannot tell your mates about your OCD because they will yell straight at your face that you are mad, it would be a great delight if you share with us here. Nevertheless, remember to put your real but not made-up stories.
Cheerio,
Pham Duc Minh Anh

Will still use it. It is not like we are going to be buried with these things. As long as the phone is fully functional, I am content. The key is actually using it and not just looking at it all day.
