I dropped my phone in the toilet. Fully loaded. Quickly removed, rinsed - also quickly. Removed from case, towel-dried, seemed to keep working but screen jumpy. Couldn't turn off for a while, finally got it off. Now sitting in white rice in a warm oven. Send good vibes. :facepalm:

I dropped new iPhone in OtterBox Defender case in Crystal River after snorkeling with Manatees. It was in the river in a foot or so of muck under a dock. My guide dove in and miraculously found the phone.

Although at least 10 min in muck/water, it worked perfectly after I dried it off.

Needless to say, I’m an OtterBox Defender junkie. Even bought one for my iPad.

Still working flawlessly 3 yrs later

Otterbox cases rock. I have stained concrete floors and I drop things. Sometimes they land in water.

No damage to current and previous phones.

I've dropped this one plenty, have had otterboxes, this was my 2nd Spigen case. This time the fates were aligned. when I stood and turned, the phone slid from my robe pocket, bounced on the rim, and entered the sour water like Mark Spitz. Without the crack, I doubt there would have been issues.

The guy at Ubreak-Ifix looked at me sadly as I entered..."We don't have our systems up, since yesterday, I'll take your phone, but don't even have parts for it."

I let him know that fit...and left it with him without throwing one.

Hi Ho.

@FireMonkey @LnzyHou
I've heard good things about Spigen, though a friend of mine had one and it fell from about 3 feet and cracked the screen.

Though maybe, like Otterbox, it depends on which case you have?

Otterbox cases extend outward from the screen so there's some screen protection there.
