Are you just being intentionally dumb or are you just unaware that every previous iPhone could be reliably expected to survive a 2ft drop? You can watch drop tests if you want; the 6/6s is last by a long way at a task you would hope gets better over time. His point (the design is weaker and contributes to breaks) is absolutely correct.

empty baggie posted:It hit a plastic sill doesn't excuse that it went from there to 2 or 3 feet onto a very hard surface. A caseless phone dropped from a car into a gutter. What do you think would happen? If you had even a minimal case, it might have lessened the blow, but you didn't. And now you're here whining because you're too cheap to put your phone in a case. Good for you. The sill of my car (to be clear, the bottom of the door opening of the car) is at most half a foot off the ground. It's a low car. It landed there from 2ft above or less as I was using it as a torch to get my groceries. I mentioned it purely because it's a break in the fall. Had I dropped it straight out of my pocket onto the road I wouldn't even bother posting. And as I said, an iPhone 4, comprised mostly of glass, slid off the roof of the same car and fell onto the road, no case, and all it did was damage the screen protector I had on at the time. 4-5 feet drop and no damage. The 6 is a flimsy slippery mess.

Are we just going to ignore the fact that every fall is different? I dropped my iPhone 5 about 4 feet onto tiled floor with no case and it had a super minor dent in the corner, whereas I've seen people with cases have theirs drop less than half that and have a shattered screen. There's a lot more to a bad fall than just "it's a flimsy device", there's the speed of rotation, whether it lands on a corner or on a side, etc. Basically what I'm saying is, nobody cares that you dropped your phone and it got damaged. Next time, don't drop it.

I have already grown to hate the iPhone name when telling people about it: "Apple has a new iPhone coming out called the iPhone SE." "Oh, Apple is releasing a new iPhone C?" Maybe I'm just saying it wrong, but it's really annoying to pronounce, which adds up explaining it to 20 people a day. Maybe I'll just start calling it the iPhone C.

They should call it the iPhone Small, iPhone Medium, and iPhone Huge. Then we can amuse ourselves with Goldilocks jokes.

This will never happen, but I think it'd be nice if Apple conceded to making its phones a couple of millimeters thicker so they could survive falling a couple of feet without a case. I don't care much for the fact that your choice is either to conceal/dilute the elegant design of the device or risk it being destroyed from a random fall.

The apple leather cases (but especially the Brown Apple Leather Case) for the 6/6S are perfectly designed to cover the necessary. They're an exercise in perfection and any more coverage would just be superfluous.

I've been using the Apple silicone case for my 6 for over a year now and it works great. Solves the "slipperiness" problem, lets it lie flat on a hard surface, doesn't add any real size to the device, screen hasn't cracked after a few minor drops, and it looks OK I guess. A++ Would Recommend To Other iPhone 6 Users!!!
