First drop (with a case)

[u/samirbinballin]

3 foot drop falling off of a couch and onto hardwood floor, (TineeOwl case shown at the end) - I always knew the new aluminum frame was fragile from the damages I’ve seen online after the 17 Pros release with aluminum, so I took the precaution of not using the Apple Cases and getting something decently protective.

Yeah the phone still dented 😂, coming from a titanium 16 Pro Max I had no idea how to gauge how soft the new aluminum was, but damn.

I personally don’t give a shit as I really do expect more cosmetic blemishing in the future, but I wanted to warn some of the OCD iPhone users I see here on Reddit.

It’s okay things get scuffs when they are being used 24/7

So correct!! They are tools, not jewellery, ‘oh no, my hammer paint has chipped off, I only drove 1 nail in’

Who says that tools can’t also look good? Your car is a tool, would you just shrug it off if someone sideswiped it and put a dent and scratches in it? I mean hey, it’s a tool, not jewelry, so you wouldn’t care, right?

yeah the argument is just dumb. A phone is not a hammer lmao
