chevysoldier Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Jumped on the bike to go out to eat with the fiance and had my Droid DNA clipped in my font jacket pocket. I turned to my left check my blind spot and it gets blown out of my pocket. SHIT! I saw it hit the ground in my mirror. When it landed, the case went one way, the phone another, just not sure which was which. I pulled over immediately, ran back to see a truck heading toward one of the black spots in the middle of the lane. I'm hoping he straddles it, which he does. When I get there, I see the clip landed in the road and my phone just over the fog line. I pick up both and to my amazement, only a few scuffs on each and not even that bad. Phone was still on and it perfect shape. The clip had more scuffs since its hard plastic unlike the case that has a rubber cover. Plugged my headphones back in and hit play, no issues. Off to dinner again. I'll never have a phone without an Otterbox again! Money well spent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I drop my otter boxed iPhone about once every two days. Definitely a good investment, especially when you buy them on eBay for half what they are at Wally World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a good investment, especially when you buy them on eBay for half what they are at Wally World. Got mine at Verizon for cheap when I got my phone. When I was running to get it, all I thought was thank goodness I have insurance on this phone! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twowheelsnake Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I used to cover my 3GS with an otterbox but when I got my 4s I said "no way". Why take a slim phone and turn it into a big, ugly hunk of plastic? I have a visor shield on the front of my 4s and clear, thin shield on sides and back. You can't tell there's anything at all on my iPhone! And guess what? I've dropped it MANY times and it's in one piece still. It's insured for a reason and it still fits in my pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Ty Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I has same experience with my Blackberry in an Otterbox when I hit a deer. Yes it takes away from the "thin",, Butt saving/protecting yourphone so you can call for help is immeasurable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baptizo Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I guess I'm lucky with my ip4...it's been dropped and thrown a few times but not at speed on my bike.....it stays safely tucked away in the inner jacket pocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tall_tracy Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 That's awesome. My brother-in-law gave me an otter box cover for my phone and I never really knew it was such a good product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually removed the plastic screen protector. I hated how it killed the touch sensitivity. I was always screwing up swyping texts because it would stop mid word.
