Today, I figured out that a $40 phone case does not protect your $500 phone from a five year-old throwing it off a fourth story balcony. FML

Don't use your phone? Why would you buy a phone and not use it?

I'm 99% sure it's an iPhone with a good case. I would spent money for a case too but it's never made for 4 story drops unless it's an otterbox

well guess what does protect that 500 dollar phone? the insurance policy that you bought for it, and if you don't have insurance then YDI for sure

49 shut the **** up...so he got an i-phone, those can be very useful...the 40 case is like insurance to ensure maximum protection...no, he does not deserve it, ur just a self righteous ass hole

Well why would it? that sucks, probably should've kept it somewhere safer if it was so expensive, for example i protect my ipod and laptop with my life.

who spends $500 on a phone? thats the equivalent to about £250 or a little bit more....That is freaking ridiculous YDI for spending that much money on a phone.

p.s. a $500 phone? who would spend $540 for a god damn phone, when you can get one for about $100... oh wait hes probably a rich whiny bastard that can get whatever he wants. so in that case GET THE **** OVER YOURSELF. you probably have 4 backup ones anyway...

You realize he/she probably didn't actually pay $500 for the phone right? You can get some good plans for a smart phone. It's just that phone is worth that much.

Nice stereotyping! All those "don't judge" people lessons we learn as kids obviously don't apply to real life... Especially when you don't know the person AT ALL! Then, you're even more qualified to make assumptions about them :D
