sorry...

Oh it was an 8gig of course. I'm going to try and see if I can get some sympathy from Apple. I doubt they will do anything but what the heck. All they can say is Too bad, and sit back and laugh.

OUCH!
Good luck going back to Apple, just hope they don't' think this is a "Smash My iPhone" sort of thing.

Too bad you didn't pay with amex. it even covers acts of stupidity! They even run commercials about "what if I drop it and break it?" "well, you're covered sir".

For an encore I thought I would pull out the wood chipper and throw my iMac in it. Too bad AT&T doesn't have an insurance option...they don't, I checked.

I thought about home insurance but I have a $500 deductible. Oh well the price to pay for stupidity and pricey toys

Oh and FYI...Since the display is trashed I decided on some experiments. I took the newest key I had and tried my hardest to scratch the glass. It did not even leave a mark. I was very impressed.

Well all is back to normal. I went to the Apple store and picked up another 8gig and all my mods are installed. Life is good.

Please let us know the maker of the case, I would hate to see this happen again.

dstafursky · #28 09-27-2007, 01:33 AM

Here is a picture of the holder. There is no name on it and it was purchased on Ebay. The case is made of a metal and does a nice job of taking the hits. The problem is the top clip that holds it shut, it is weak. So it gets flipped open easy ally. I will be purchasing a different style for my new phone.

Wow, that new carbon fibre case is starting to look even better. Your iPhone might have had a fighting chance at least. In the end, you got a new iPhone, did you have to purchase it or was Apple sympathetic?

If it had been a different type of holder/case then it would not have fallen out of the one I had. As for assistance from Apple I never got around to asking them, I wanted my phone back..lol So I used the $100 credit and bought another 8gig. Didn't hurt as much this time but if you think about it I know have a $1000.00 phone. 600 the first time and 400 this time. Now that's stupid Bling!
