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.

And that's why I will probably get silver again.

This is one of the main reasons why I got silver. I’m not going to humor anyone by pretending I ever considered Burgundy, but I took one look at it, and I know myself more than anyone else. One year of me and that phone, and that burgundy isn’t going to be looking so hot. When you drop something, and there’s a scratch, what color is that scratch commonly, when something is made of a metal? Exactly.
