Who has NEVER dropped their iPhone before?

Have you ever dropped your iPhone?

I can't see how people never dropped their iPhones. I am very careful and I have dropped my iPhones several times. I only dropped my iPhone 4 once and luckily not a scratch on it. By the way I only have an SGS skin on the back and screen protector.
 
I've dropped mine a few times, but I've always managed to get my foot under it to break the fall. It'll slide across the ground after it hits, but I use screen protectors on both sides so it's never been damaged. No case.
 
people who drop their phones aren't very aware of their surroundings. I know where the phone is at all times. It's either in my pocket, or I'm using it. I don't sit it on my lap while driving lol.
 
One drop, absolute brain fart on my part, shattered screen. Sent to iResq or someone like them for replacement.

Still carry naked :)

I am aware. I am aware I drink and fall down. I am aware ride my bike and crash. I am aware hand it to my wife and she drops it. I am aware my seven year old doesn't give a crap. I am aware I live like a normal person and its just a freaking phone. I am aware if it breaks, I'll buy another and move on. Life's short. I use a case and it takes care of most things.
 
I've owned a 2G which I dropped a lot.
the 3G I had for a year I NEVER dropped.
The iphone 4 I probably dropped the most of all... (It was also the only one I used with a case)

I can't beleave all these people never dropped their iPhones. My iPhone is my prized possession that I am very careful with yet it hits the floor many times a year.

Mine falls off the night stand all the time.
 
I've dropped my phone several times. Once down a flight of concrete steps, and my e13ctron protected it perfectly. I love the feel of the phone naked, but I don't think I'll ever aren't an iPhone naked again.
 
Ive dropped my iPhone probably 20 times onto all sorts of surfaces and have never had to replace the screen once. Back has a big crack and the mute button is gone, but never the glass.
 
I've never dropped it clumsily, but one time i did have a drunken idiot on the sidewalk who was asking for directions knock it out of my hand.
 
I have. Just once, though, and LUCKILY it just so happened to land on my dog's bed, which is basically just one huge pillow. And it was in its super bulky, rubbery Zcover case. But still... that's been my first and only drop and it was enough to make my heart skip a beat. I'm WAAAY too conscious about my phone these days.

So I take it no ones ever bumped into you from behind in your entire life? You've never stumbled? Never tripped over something? If you say yes, I guarantee you're a liar. I have very good spacial awareness, but that doesn't make me Neo.
 
Mine has a casemate jett black metal bumper on it with a SGP carbon black skin on the back.

I'm not tempting fate by answering the main question.......lol
 
It's tumbled down the stairs, been dropped while listening to music (headphones), been thrown halfway across the room.

Had only a simple rubber back and it's still in great condition. :p

I've done that one several times. I also dropped my phone twice in the course of several seconds onto asphalt while trying to plug my headphones in. No visible marks ever though and my phones go commando.

My bro ran his iPhone 4 over with a firetruck once...it didn't fare so well.
 
Dropped my first iPhone the second day of owning it while walking to my car. Didn't have a case at the time but phone was fine besides scratches to the edges and back. I've used a case ever since.
 
ive never dropped my 2 iphones

had an iphone since sep of 2007

my dad did drop my 3gs though once but everything was fine
 
Ive dropped mine once onto a concrete floor from 3 feet. Apparently my shorts decided to rip a hole in the pocket where I keep my naked iPhone 4. It dropped right through the hole onto the floor. Scared the **** outta me. Surprisingly, it did not crack or get scratches. I got so lucky. Going to buy a case soon...
 
Dropped it loads, never marked.

Dropped it on the face, in a marble office smashed the face - replaced it myself, but messed with the wifi reception( very weak )

then smashed the back, easily replaced.
