I dropped my phone and shattered the screen on Black Friday. The WORST day in the history of EVER to break your screen. Anyway, so in the interim before I could get to the Apple store, I put my phone in a ziploc bag. It helps to keep you from impaling your finger, and the fingerprint thingy on the home button still works.<br /><br />Then when I got a new phone, I got the equivalent to this case: http://www.apple.com/shop/product/HGMT2ZM/B/tech21-evo-mesh-sport-case-for-iphone-6-and-iphone-6s-smoke?fnode=99<br /><br />My screen shattered because it hit the ground on the corner of the phone, and this case has some good padding on the edges, so it should keep my issue from happening again. It's got good protection but isn't huge-normous.Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869878526813185698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6578996577431253756.post-57835011128290105552016-03-15T20:08:15.312-05:002016-03-15T20:08:15.312-05:00My phone has done that thing where the screen just...My phone has done that thing where the screen just shuts off.

When I saw your snapchat story I was like "oh that's funny this blogger I follow is in shreveport right now! shes at the casino!" (my friend goes to the casinos there a lot). My friend regularly calls it Shitport or Shrevenasty. So your ending footnote made me laugh out loud.

Speck give you slim and protects at the same time, plus their cases are pretty rad and unique to boot. That, and the $20 protective clear screen cover from the store and multiple drops later - no cracks or shattering. Best of luck to you on your first world problem! Also a word of advice - stop doing the phone juggle!! Especially with the damn keys. Always a disaster waiting to happen, lol.

And it's worked! It was like $40, but every time I drop my phone the screen protector cracks a little bit, and it's getting a little bit spider-weby because I seriously drop it so much, but it works!

I got an Otter Box case when I first got my phone and dropped it a zillion times and in 4 years, it has never cracked. *knock on wood* It's not a HUGE case, but it's not small either. You get used to it so quickly that you don't notice it anyone and even feeling weird without it...<br />Plus the case is guaranteed for life. If it breaks, you just send a picture to their customer service and they'll send you a new one within a couple of business days! It's like magic!Emiliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189118014197810100noreply@blogger.com
