    I'm wondering,

    How often do people drop their phones?

    Let's make the time frame a year for this poll.



    I probably drop it about 3 or 4 times per year. I usually make the drop worse by trying to catch it, then fumbling it, causing it to then fly across the room.

    I'm probably at 10-15x/month. My phone holds up, and still looks great though.

    Intentionally never. :D.

    I voted for 2-5 but I have had only three phones for over a year since 2007.

    I voted 0-1 since I've dropped my previous phone once over a year and a half and the current phone once in nearly a year I had it.

    I voted 2-5 since this calendar year I had 3 bad drops. The previous year I had only 1. The bumper protected the phone completely each time. Without that case, the edges and glass would behave been scratched, dinged and shattered.

    I've had the urge to see if I can skip it across water like a stone. So far I've resisted. :biggrin:

    Just dropped my Note 3 twice in the time I've had it. I just dropped it last week while I was at a restaurant... glad I had my Tech21 case on it.
