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

Today, I realized the $40 iPhone case I bought to keep my new phone from getting scratched, scratched my iPhone. FML

Today, I bought an $80, "invincible" phone case. One test drop later, my phone had turned into an expensive paperweight. FML

Today, my friend told me that Otter Box phone cases protect the phone whether it's thrown or just dropped. I disagreed. He then threw his phone across the room into a cement wall to prove it. The phone's screen was completely shattered and now he thinks I owe him a new phone. FML

Today, I bought a new phone. It's shock proof, water proof, you name it. Just not kitten proof, it seems. That's $400 down the drain. FML

Today, my fancy rubber phone case did its job and saved my phone from damage when I dropped it on the bathroom counter. Unfortunately, it was rather useless after the massive bounce it took before landing in the toilet. FML

Today, I was showing my new iPhone case to my friends, saying how it was scratchproof, shockproof, and waterproof. I demonstrated it by dropping it on the sidewalk from about 5 feet. It bounced onto the road. Apparently, its not truck-proof. FML

Today, I dropped my 400 dollar iphone, that's been through toilets and 6 foot falls, on a walmart floor and shattered the screen. I managed, however, to catch the 2 dollar macaroni and cheese before it hit the ground. FML

Today, I dropped my phone. I'd only just bought this new phone last night. It barely survived 12 hours. FML

Today, I found out that the little bumps on the child seats in the Wal-Mart shopping carts are spaced just enough that they can crack my brand new phone's screen past its screen protector in two places. FML

Today, I realized that with all the money I've spent on repairs for my iPhone through the months, I could have bought a phone that doesn't die horribly whenever I so much as give it a mean look. FML

And how did you discipline your over indulged, spoiled, horribly mannered little angel for this? A time out?

YDI for being an unfit mother and conplaining about your child. Children are a blessing from god and if you want to complain then your kids should be taken from you, period. so tired of ppl like you

Yeah, because you're never allowed to be disappointed by something a kid does.

#65 I like how your name is "proud liberal", and yet you spew conservative bullshit everywhere. It's a neat trick.

No clue as to why the comment I posted previously disappeared, at least on my end.. but, eh. As I'd said in it: Dude. I'm just saying I don't see the point: Things like that can be accessed elsewhere, not worth like.. $400 extra bucks in the OP's case, in my opinion.

YDI for not taking care of you're expensive belongings. If you're gonna spend that much money on a phone, at least keep them in a safe place. Did you expect that a case would really protect it from everything?
