cellphones are gadgets that are quite sensitive and easily brake once dropped, many times i drop my cellphone and the next thing to know is a broken lcd or picking your cellphone in pieces due to the impact, once i drop my cellphone and it goes right below my motorbike wheel and what do you expect for that but a useless and broken cellphone...how about you have you drop your cellphone and what happen next?

Hello! I've also dropped my cellphone not only once but multiple times. It's not a pretty picture imagine your cellphone splits open, casing comes off as well as the keypad and battery, exposing its bare structure. lol. But good thing my phone is not the latest model so it's quite resistant to shock that's why it survived years of mishandling by its owner. LOL.

wow that's an easy question to answer. i've dropped my mobile phone countless times. i got my current mobile phone just two months ago and i dropped it within a week of getting it. the casing i had on it scratched the cover but it was alright otherwise. i've subjected my other mobile phones to different degrees of abuse too. there was once that i was talking on the phone when it dropped and skidded across the room. i picked up my phone and continued the conversation.
the most drop-worthy phone i've had must be the motorola. i've had quite a few and they really stand up to drops very well. all lasted years even after being dropped countless times.

phones that stand such test from that impact of falling are relatively durable, of course minor scratches are not exceptions since housing are used to be changed once in a while...thanks friend for such a good response from you...

Hi! Some years back, I dropped my first ever cellphone, it was the analog type- Nokia 909, as I was reaching for it from the bookcase in my house. It fell some 6 feet to the floor, and the cellphone parts came off upon impact. Afraid that it was destroyed, I was relieved and happy that it turned on okay after I put back the casing and the battery to the basic body of the cellphone. After so many cellphones after that, am glad to say, no accidental dropping ever took place again.

My first kyocera fell apart in three pieces, faceplate, keywords and of course cell, but I was able to put it together, till one fateful day that I lost the cell phone, I could not find it, I imagine that I dropped and well whoever found it just threw it to the trash, no calls we made from it, now my I would drop my third kyocera cell and nothing happens at all.
I am very lucky with my cell phone.

I used to leave my purse on the shopping cart all the time but people around me will tell me do not do that, you might think because you repect other people that other people will respect you but it is not like that.
I finally lost the habit without losing my wallet or cell.
I am sorry for your cell lost, it is kinda depressing.

Hi, I occasionally drop my phone due to my clumsiness. But because my phone is a low-end phone it still survives every drop it makes with a few scratches or dents. Now my phone has many scratches and dents because of the many times I drop it. And the good thing is that it still works as if nothing happened! Lol! That's the beauty of those phones that are not so expensive!

well yes to that friend, seems that low cost cellphones are much durable than expensive one and not so discouraging if you happen to lose it or brake it if in case..but to loose an expensive one or break it is something that will make you sad about it...take care of your cellphone friend as others say this, "its better that your the one to fall and not your cellphone"....joke joke joke

Yes I have dropped my cell phone millions of time, but it is still working because most of the times when i drop it, it was in cover. So that mayprotect it from breaking.

if you find some protection cover suited for your cellphone, i think you must add it as one of your phone accessories so that if ever some case like this happen there is a great chance that your cellphone will come in one piece again and still working well

Hello, arnoldream.
No, I do not remember dropping my own cellphone. My mobile is always in my pocket, it is hard for me to drop it. Though, I have dropped my friend's mobile. I did a movement with my hand, and the pocket of my blouse wasn't really good. So it just flew away, hahaha. I was embarassed for having dropped it, specially because he saw it... But what can I do? Things like that happens.
Luckily, nothing was breaken, not even a single scratch. The mobile was just as new as before.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

I know what you mean a cell phones are gadgets that are very important and everyone nowadays seems to be carrying a cell phone because they come in handy especially in an emergency since they allow you to get in touch with someone if your car breaks down or if you get a flat tire,and I know cell phones are very easily damaged because of the way they are made,and I have dropped several cell phones in the past and mostly they just got damaged and did not break,but I dropped the last phone because it fell off my belt and it got ran over by a big truck and a car,so now me and my fiance do not have a cell phone.
