If you don't put a case on your Apple iPhone X, it could end up looking like this!

Apple once said your not holding it right!!

Steve Jobs actually never said that, he said it happens to every phone if you hold it in the same way and he was right.

I have a Nokia 3310, this does not apply

The 3310's weaknesses are:
1. EMP
2. Nuke falling directly on top of it (survives the blast wave so it HAS to be the intended target)
3. Water damage (only if you had a battery on it, if not, 2 days on a rice bowl and you're good.)
Pretty much it. If you throw it from the atmosphere it can take down a skyscraper so heights are never an issue.

Not to beat a dead horse, but you forgot Chuck Norris.

Nope, it was a poor excuse, never happened to my LG or Samsung phones.

Which samsung phone are you using s5 s3 with plastic crap?
My note 5 fell from 3 to 4 ft and it cracked.

Are you trying to change history ?

And you actually believe everything what Steve said?
You must be a bigger than Steve!

He meant every iPhone.

That was Apple's official response after Steve Jobs told a customer," just avoid holding it that way." And, he was wrong. Just as your are on all accounts..

No it was a lie.

There is a difference in holding the iPhone 4 by the gaps vs birthdaygift wrapping a phone with your hand.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9eXYOA8TCk

There is the iPhone 4 antenna-gate video per Steve Jobs.

Watch in the video how they are holding all the other phones. In order to create the same problem on the other phones, you had to complete cover the phone with your hand. On the iPhone 4 all you had to do was cover the gaps.

Please stop lying when video proof exist.

Apple has always been a liar, even when they lied and claimed they didn't steal the GUI from Xerox.

If you aren't gonna speak the truth about the iPhone 4 Antenna issue, then you shouldn't speak about it at all.

Most people hold their phone near the bottom. No one holds a phone by complete wrapping their hand around it. NO ONE. No matter how small phones were then.

I always at the time held my phone with 3 fingers. 2 on each side at the bottom and one on the back to prop.

That's why on stage he looked like the air has been sucked out of him. God forbid he got sick and passed away.

Lying and stealing does catch up with you though. The real God of the world said so.

Nopers....what he said basically translates to you aren't holding it right.

I have a blackberry Priv and it doesnt apply!

13. Landon (Posts: 1135; Member since: 07 May 2015)

...unless you have a S8 Active or Moto Z. Then all you need is a tempered glass screen protector.

33. Bernoulli (Posts: 4358; Member since: 01 Sep 2012)

Or a Nokia 3310

40. JC557 (Posts: 1879; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)

In that case you would then need to reinforce your floors....

In all seriousness though, the most I put on my phones are a glass screen protector as the phones I buy are plastic or metal and have no issue surviving drops. My Moto Z Force suffered 3 drops (while running and the phone slipped out of my pocket after the zipper closing it off came apart)

43. f35hunter (Posts: 238; Member since: 12 Dec 2013)

I had a Sony Xperia Z1 and it suffered for four years of pure abuse and torture!
I threw it countless times on multiple surfaces (sometimes intentionally) with no single shatter of any type.

55. Landon (Posts: 1135; Member since: 07 May 2015)

That's awesome. I'd rather have a durable phone like that over a wireless charging capable glass back phone any day.

Only if you are a klutz

57. JohnR (Posts: 118; Member since: 08 Sep 2017)

Exactly. I’ve been carrying glass phones for 3 years now without a worry. These phones are too expensive to be fooling around.

62. uncle_gadget (banned) (Posts: 1050; Member since: 20 Sep 2017)

Because you've never dropped anything in your life?!

I don't need a case for my Note 8. I just use one to make my phone look pretty. /S

94. rsiders (Posts: 1641; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)

If you get a real phone made out of metal and not that fragile glass you wouldn't need a case on your phone. Cases are not mandatory if you can be careful or you have a phone like the V20(mine) or the new Razer phone. I dropped my V20 a bunch of times and how many times you think it shattered into a thousand pieces?

6. Panzer (Posts: 222; Member since: 13 May 2016)

They used the money alloted for a case to get a quick charger and cable.

63. uncle_gadget (banned) (Posts: 1050; Member since: 20 Sep 2017)

Yep because glass is cheap. But if you break it on this phone, Apple will need $550 to replace it, even if you have Apple Care.

What a crock.

I wonder how much carrier insurance replacement deductible on the Note 8 and iPhone X now.

Last time I had a device replaced, it cost me $199 to replace (Note 5). If phone prices keep going up, the deductibles will too.

I second this. Can't wait for razor time!!
