I see lots of people with their phone in their back pocket. Just a matter of time before some of them break it...
No one drops it intentionally....sooner or later, some Razrs are going to get dropped, as the OP demonstrated. The silicone case will go a long way in cushioning the shock.
I totally roll unprotected. I've done it with every device I have. A few have suffered some minor bumps and bruises, but no big deal so far. I figure, insurance is $7/month plus a $100 deductible with a max payout of two a year. If I have something catastrophic happen once in a year, I will have paid about $185 for the replacement. Not too bad, but it's still an expense. I figure if I break it, I can spend ~$100-150 on an older phone to tide me over until I have an upgrade for one of my lines. It's not the same as getting a lovely, brand spanking new phone, but I've saved $168 so far by not having it over the last two years; if I have a loss in the next year, I will have to spend $252 to "break even" with insurance. Depending on how far into a devices life cycle I am, I could get a very comparable (or even the same) device for within what I would have paid for insurance.
Same here. Six years with VZW with two lines. In those 12 phone-years, damaged one phone (a dive into the ceramic throne), which occurred about a month before my eligibility to upgrade. Use the previous phone as a substitute until I became eligible for a new one. I have saved enough over those years to buy two phones at list and still come out ahead.
everyone that gets a smartt phone i tell them go otterbox you cant go wrong buy one off amazon for like 30 bucks if your cheap
