I drop my phone. I drop it all the damn time. I’ve managed to trick the “geniuses” at the Apple Store into thinking that my phone just died on its own three different times. What they don’t know is that I treat my phone like Ike Turner treated the fairer sex, tough but fair. No, no. But seriously, I beat my phone up. But more than that, the idea of having an ugly, bulky case on my totally rad first generation iPhone is more unappealing than breaking it and having to lie to a virgin at the Apple Store. Then I found out that for about $25 bucks, I can protect any gadget I have in a military grade film used to coat helicopter blades to protect them from damage. They have tests like beating it with a weed wacker, and tossing it around in a box of nails, and the phones all survive. It’s a cheap, sleek and effective way of protecting any of your mobile devices and keeps you out of the long line at the Apple store. (And if Apple is so much better than PC, why is there always a long line at the Genius Bar? Work on it, Seinfeld.)
