iPhone 4S vs Samsung Galaxy S2: Drop Test

[Jules]

iPhone owner rationalizations are funny. 😉

Same with android owners 😉

Wow so your response offers nothing but a personal attack. Good job, you're a winner!

P.S. This has already been discussed and talked about. And earth isn't a vacuum. So maybe I was off on it making any real difference, it would make some difference even if it was a .001% difference. Feathers don't fall at the same speed as an iPhone either.

A piece of wood the same size as a feather would however.

How do people drop phones? I mean serious seriously? I freaking JOG with my EVO 4G and pull it out while RUNNING all the time and haven't dropped it once. A person would have to be uber clumbsly to drop a phone. But since I guess there still's technically a chance I'll drop my phone once in the future and it COULD do damage I should never get an iPhone 4S.

In light of this, what's a good case for the iphone in the hands of a clumsy person?

Not that hard really. Get bumped or don't grab it right, or if your hands are a little greasy/wet that iphone can just slide right out. I've dropped mine a couple times just not paying a whole lot of attention to it, thankfully it didn't even seem to notice. Pretty sure a ip4 would have cracked on a few of the ones this thing went through.

Which does bring up an interesting point. Screen portion of my droid1 is all metal and glass with no flex in that portion, seems to have survived quite well for the past 2 years.

If you're going to drop a phone, an iPhone 4 would be the one most likely to drop. It has smooth, texture-less extruded glass surfaces on the front AND back. Set it down on a smooth surface and it will glide right across it.

I drop mine all the time. /shrug Dropped my Blackberry right in the toilet once too (almost twice), just had to dry it out overnight and it worked fine.

I definitely need the more drop-resistant phone as I am a klutz and a butterfingers.
