apple fragile!?!?!?

I find that samsung screens are ALOT more fragile. That is based on my experience with owning the following

Apple 3g, 3gs, 4, 4s, 5, 5s, 6plus
Samsung S4 Active, Note 3

I've broke my S4 active on the first drop... literally the first drop! My 6plus is the only apple device I've broken the screen on and i drop my phone ALOT! A weekly if not daily occurance. Sold my Note 3 because i didn't like the OS.


My advice is JB that 5s using Taig. Download iCaughtYou so you can 1. disable powering off the phone if it gets stolen 2. send a pic using the front facing camera to yourself. Not sure why iOS and adroid devices don't make that a native app. I guess thats why i don't like andorid is if someone steals your phone they remove the battery and you no longer track it. I've tracked a buddies phone to the thief's house where he called the cops. Cops showed up and they returned the phone.

I was only basing my fragile iPhone on comments from friends who use iPhone, they made it very clear to get protection right away.

On a side note, if anyone has a good condition Lifeproof nuud for the 5/5s they want to sell, I'm your guy.

I've never broken a phone screen, ever. The Otterbox has treated my S4 pretty well. I drop my phone daily.

Otterbox Defender = good

Otterbox Commuter = not so good

My S4 was facedown in a Commuter when I rolled over it on a creeper on rough finish concrete. Def not good for the glass.

Exactly correct. I have the Defender and my phone is fine. Wife has the Commuter and hers is BROKE. NEVER buy a phone case at the store. You can get the Defender of Amazon for the same price as they sell the Commuter in the store.

I've already had to refill the shot cup. I stood around some dog crap in my back yard and unloaded on some flies. Flies are FAST, so you definitely need good shots, but a decent hit stuns them enough to finish them off. Two good shots will stun a wasp enough to where you can just unload on it. What I like it best for so far is spiders. You can get a few inches away and they don't move fast enough to dodge. Usually one good shot will splatter a spider. The shot pattern is relatively tight, but the closer the better. Pretty fun so far. I've already killed probably 20-30 flies and spiders combined in about 30 minutes just because I have an abundance of both where I live.

iPhone 5s, didn't realize I had an upgrade available through Verizon, so I figured I give IOS a shot. The 5s is getting dated at this point, but I got it for the compact size. Hoping (if I end up liking IOS), that they will offer a smaller phone than the 6 in the future. Now to get a case for this fragile thing.

When I upgraded from the 4 to the 5, I was not happy with the size increase, but my old 4 couldn't support new apps and such. I too am hoping they offer a smaller iPhone version soon. I have had the "Lifeproof" case on my iPhone 5 for more than 2 years now and it's been awesome. Love that it is slimmer and lighter than the otterbox. (or at least it was at the time of purchase)

Yeah I'm just over the jumbo phones, not necessary for my uses. The 5s is just a tad small as far as holding in the hands go, so with a decent case it should be about perfect. According to the salesman I got my phone from (so take it for what it's worth), quite a few people are still buying the 5s because of size. Hopefully that's true, and Apple will offer a "mini" of whatever their next phone is.
