Do any of you guys know if I should get a case for my new iPhone? I just got it a couple days ago and have almost dropped a couple times. A few of my buddies say that they are strong and are hard to crack yet I've seen multiple broken glass cases with other people. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.
 
I've dropped mine a lot and it has never cracked; most of my cases are for show like the bumper one. Unless you're a construction worker or a total cluts you don't need one. In case you do get a life proof or and otterbox

Actually I was thinking of a Tech 21 case. I saw them at the apple store the other day and they aren't as expensive as otterbox's and life proof. What do you think the best one is? I heard L.Ps are really annoying and otterbox's are too large.

Otter boxes are extremely huge and annoying, life proofs don't look bad and they are water proof I would recommend getting that one.

I may want a lifeproof but I heard that it isn't for the person who likes to listen to music all the time because they always lose the little screw.

Just go up to the store and ask for the warranty or whatever so if anything happens they will replace the phone and the case;don't buy it off of amazon or whatever
 
I cracked my 5S today. Dropped it on concrete.

How high was the phone when you cracked it? Or did it just land at a weird angle.
 
Get a case and a screen protecter. IPhones are easy AF to crack and you don't need a big otter box you just need a light case that takes the hit when your phone falls.

Waist-level. I missed my pocket when I attempted to put it back in my pocket and it cracked in the top left corner. Just an unlucky circumstance.

Wow:/ I assume you did not have a case on while it dropped?

Nope. Naked is better my friend.
 
Apple products are made to be replaced often. I keep cases on all of my devices aside from my tablet.
 
both my girlfriend and i have galaxy s4 and honestly the otterbox is NOT that big i always leave the clip/front protector off and it makes fitting in my pocket easier. My girlfriend has bodyglove from walmart only costed 20 bucks and it protected hers from many of falls so its really your preference

I picked otterbox because of a few reasons:
it has many layers of protection:
1:the plastic sturdy snapon casing that looks ugly
2:the rubber and solid part that goes around it (which is really nice in hand them other cases are just as slick as the phone itself the phone never slips out of my hand now)
3:the screen protector
4:the extra protection of the clip/face cover that back also be used backwards so the screen is facing out...ALSO the clip can be pulled out to serve as a phonestand!
 

The galaxy s4 is a monster in general and I would never buy that phone.
 
IPhone are really sensitive. So I would recommend a case and a very good screen protector. You don't really need a otterbox
