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

Buy him a really old flip phone, or perhaps a Nokia and tell him you agree that the Nokia won't break

Your friend is a ******* idiot. But it was his own stupidity that got him where he is so you owe him nothing.

otter box has (not sure if still going) a guarantee if it breaks you send in your phone and them will either fix it or buy a new one

Why is this an FML? Is he threatening you in some way? Are you going to cave to his demands? Otherwise, **** that guy. Don't be friends with idiots. I mean, unless you're an idiot. In which case you should stick together at all costs.

You don't need to take the blame because your friend is an idiot.

I have an Otter Box, and my dad swears by them. We've dropped our phones a few times with that case and they've been fine. But I don't think they're meant to withstand intentionally being thrown across the room into a cement wall; they're for accidentally dropping them on hard floors/surfaces. So no, you don't owe your friend a new phone. Reasonable person standard comes into play here.

If he thought that an Otter Box would protect his phone from a cement wall, then he's kind of a dipshit. And what person thinks that because his phone got broken trying to prove a point-which failed-means you have to buy him a new one?

Yeah you don't owe him a dime. He took the risk. The probability of the phone surviving is not to be thrown intentionally with force, but only by dropping it maybe, 10-12 feet. Not guaranteed tho. Gotta register the case too haha
