What did you expect? For it to stand a nuclear explosion? Don't believe everything you read, especially when it comes up buying products.
no. I think he just expected it to withstand a five foot drop. if he expected it to withstand a nuke, he'd have simulated that. notice how he didn't simulate a nuclear explosion.
That's just ridiculous! Everyone knows that no phone case can protect a cell phone from a nuclear explosion! You'd have to put it in a lead lined refrigerator to protect it from that! Sheesh!
I have a $35 Speck Candyshell and it could withstand a 10 feet drop undoubtedly. My main point is that Americans are marketing geniuses and somehow coax you into shelling out more for a fairly useless product. And if they call it 'invincible' then it should be. In Europe it wouldn't be allowed, and probably be renamed ultra tough at best.
America has false advertising laws too. I guess marketers just find ways around them. I find it hard to believe that European marketers never sucker people, especially since many of the products are exactly the same.
haha nice ^
I'm from Europe - the UK and lived in America for 2 when I was little. Now I'm in Aus. When you buy something (UK), the total price is included as opposed to America's just stating the price and not the tax. We also don't have to tip. Yes the products are exactly the same, but it costs 2x more in Europe, 3x more in Aus - but at least we don't get suckered. But fair play, American marketers are geniuses and innovative :)
The total price is given in the UK because the UK has a 15% national sales tax which is automatically applied to everything sold, unlike in America where sales tax is determined by the individual states, if the state chooses to impose a sales tax at all, but it's usually only 6 or 7 percent if it is imposed. I too was born in the UK and lived there until I was six when I moved to America. My mother is American and my father is English, and I've visited England several times, where I payed a ridiculous exchange rate for everything I bought. I'm quite well traveled otherwise, and I can tell you that if you think you can't get suckered, wherever you may be, you probably get suckered a lot.
Why would you think anything that cost $80 is invincible? Shit, even Super Man turns to human putty in the presence of Kryptonite, and I bet he'd fetch far more than 80 bucks if there was super human trafficking.
He actually came pretty cheap. Not many villains wanted a super hero who only did good, so I basically got him on sale.
Yeah, but I mean, you HAD to have spent more than 80 bucks on The Man of Steel. Shit, I know if I had Super Man, I wouldn't let him go for less than 100.
32 thats probably cus you find him attractive
Not to mention useful! "Super Man, I seem to have fallen off another sky scraper. Be a dear and catch me before I turn into human pizza, would you?" "Super Man, a tree seems to have fallen on my car. Be a dear and bend it back into shape, would you?" "Super Man, a nuclear explosion appears to be fast approaching. Be a dear and shield me from the impact and radiation, would you?"
Truthfully, the only reason I keep him around is so that he can pop the lids off pickle jars. Oh, and he's awesome at fighting off the dust bunnies.
I don't know about you but I would rather have a Wonder Woman. She makes me super bacon!
Given the cost of the case in contrast to the cost of many phones, I'm tempted to believe, and certainly hope, it was an iPhone, even better if it was an iPhone 5.
22 Well aren't you just a little bit evil there! That's really mean to say, especially about someone who has never done anything to you. Sorry OP! Some people are just evil and rude. Don't let it get you down. Shit happens and you learn and move on from it.
Otter boxes r the case to go for if u want shatter proof. I have slammed my phone on the ground and dropped multiple heavy things on it.
*a multitude of, if your going to correct someone use correct grammar
57- if you're going to be rude, pay attention :P
And on otter box isn't $80 :)
This was much more entertaining when I first read it as "explosive paperweight".
Whenever I see that something is "anything-proof", I always see it as a challenge. "Ah, I see this is childproof! Here Junior, see if you can get the medicine out of this bottle."
Inconceivable!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Sadly, at least two people have never seen "The Princess Bride." That's the real tragedy. :( And what meme is that? I've never seen an "inconceivable" meme.
Yea, I'm gonna have to agree with everyone else...it was pretty silly to purposely drop your phone. And I'd have to say even sillier to spend $80 on a phone case, but maybe that's just me. When I had my iPhone 3GS I had a $15 case that held up to a 6 year old and a baby!
Clearly YDI. Why people always think that cases are 100% safe is beyond me. I work in a shop where we sell cases like that, my favourite moment is when customers are adamant about a rubber case as 'it bounces'. Yeah, right!
At first glance I thought it stood invisible ...

Sorry, they're not dumbass proof...
Reminds me of when I was 6 and I snapped a 'shatterproof' ruler...
