Getting in nick of time, i guess!

I was at the shores of lake Michigan last weekend and the storm clouds over the lake looked so inviting that I got too close to the water and was trying to take a picture sitting down. My buddy unawares that i had my 3GS in front me tried to push me into the water by surprise. Long story short, I threw the iPhone in the sand before I went into the water and my 3GS is safe! 🙂

In reply to Cihan Aksoylu . I'm sorry that this one couldn't be extended outside the US, sometimes that is just not viable for us. I hope we'll be able to offer other contests in future where there is not a US-only restriction. Also sorry that you feel you no longer want to visit the site.

I got a bodyglove generic vinyl case with a clear plastic window that I can slip my iPhone into. It has an inner back and top with a drawstring. It is awkward to get the phone out of the bag to answer a call. The one plus is that I can slip my earbuds in the case behind the inner back.
I would love to try a case that is purpose made to keep around an iPhone while in use, so Here's my hat in the ring for this contest.

I would like to win a new case! 🙂

iPhone near death experience: Hmmm….I'll pick the most dramatic, and it might helps someone avoid the same traumatic event. I plug my iPhone in to synch and charge. Even if I hung the cable, it often ended up dropping. The cable dropped and I found a design flaw in the iPhone connector, that I imagine Apple did not consider. I had a plug that had come loose just a bit. The narrow, but wide, iPhone plug slipped in, contacted the two prongs of the plug, and the electricity arced across it. I have a black and melted spot on the plug, and needed to get a new cord. Any new cord contests? 😉 Luckily the computer survived.

i had just gotten my 3GS …it was a rainy day and i was rushing to open my umbrella and get into the post office before they closed. I thought i put my phone in my pocket. as i stood in line i was scrambling through my pockets trying to find my phone, and then thought "well maybe i left it in the car".

i leave the post office and go to my car, and something white on the ground caught my eye…my brand new 3GS on the ground, in the rain for at least 5 minutes.

thankfully it still works, with just a few scratches. but i was more thankful that no one saw it and took it for themselves.

I was coming back from the store and I had 2 12 packs of soda and my phone in my hand. I was wearing basketball shorts with no pockets. I was caring them, one in each hand and my phone in my right hand. I was walking and the iphone was slipping. I don't have a case on it so I was trying to grip it. I squeezed my hand and made it slip out like a bar of soap. As it was going to the asphalt ground I kicked my leg out to try and stop it from a direct hit on the ground. I kick it out the phone landed on my foot and stayed on it. I dropped my foot to the ground very slowly and pick it up. I saved my iPhone from a possible shattering.

My iphone death story is similar to many others – Let the lesson be learned, do NOT put the phone on your lap in a car! As soon as I got out, DOWN it went….Glass side first onto my concrete garage floor. The phone was just in an invisible shield, not in a protective case, and amazingly it did NOT crack (it should have). I sure learned my lesson that day!

Would love a chance at one of these beautiful cases, my invisible shield is falling off after a year of use, so it's time for something a little more durable. Thanks for running the site and the contest, I'd love to try one of these cases. Thanks!

Got a case currently, but not really happy with it, that Seidio case looks really nice.

My Iphone almost went flying, quite literally: opened up my car, put some stuff on the car roof before leaving (had to reorganise some junk before boarding). Finally finished, started the engine and started travelling. Then realised I had forgotten to take my Iphone off the roof! Amazingly, it was still there, and I was able to retrieve it. Thank goodness I hadn't gotten very far before I remembered, otherwise it would have been byebye Iphone :s

My friend, who's much shorter than i am jumps to try to touch the basketball rim. I try to one up him, actually touch the rim and do a pull up and lift my knees up… well my phone fell outta my pocket. Guess who was having the last laugh. Glass shattered and I had no protection on it. 🙁

Gave my incipio case to my boss because he had the UGLIEST case in world on his 3G. i sure do miss it, it was definitely my favorite case. But seidio looks even nicer. Would love to get my hands on that one.
Well i'm an avid boater, so over the years I have let many a phone, and a 2G go swimming. The best had to be me standing up near the back of the boat as my friend took off!! Needless to say I went head first over the back fully clothed…phone in pocket!

My near death experience involved an AT&T Tilt, a hot cup of coffee, and a stairway. Needless to say, I was thankful for the Seidio case it was in. Protected the phone down 8 steps of unforgiving concrete. Worked fine after the drop. As such, I won't buy a device until I know that a quality case exists. Seidio covers most of my stuff!.

Looks like nice cases to me! Would of course like to win. 🙂
The near death experience was a trilogy for us. We went to the beach and set up on top of an embankment high above the water. Unforunately there was a high wave event. I told my husband that water looked close and then a wave came in and touched the tip of our blanket. "We're fine" he said. I moved our stuff back several feet. The next series of waves proceeded to wash over where we had been. "wow" he said. The water still seemed closer to me. "Were fine now" he said. I built a small berm with sand to "protect us". "were fine he said". Water came up to my ridgeline and washed it away. "See it works were fine" he said. The next wave/flood came in without warning and i watched my shoes the blanket and various other belongings wash out to sea. As i screamed my husband barely grabbed my gadget bag before his chair washed away. Silence.

Both of those do look nice…

Not my story, but I did have a buddy who drove around block with his phone on the roof of his car. Didn't notice it was gone until he hit a stop sign. Fortunately his rubber case held it on the roof.

I have, on multiple occasions, been in the restroom and when I went to flush the toilet, my iPhone has slipped out of my grubby little hands, plunging in slow-motion towards to liquid bowl of death. Only my cat-like reflexes and well-studied ninja skills have saved the day.

Count me in!

My first gen iPhone I had last April died horribly – I was getting it out of my pocket and I fumbled with it, and it went plop on hard cement. The seconds I saw it in the air in front of me and I couldn't catch it in time to prevent it from falling were the longest seconds of my life. It fell face down and when I went to pick it up, it was shattered on the screen in spiderweb form, starting from the lower right corner, where the impact occured.

Saddest day of my life. Didn't last four months, even.
