Cracked!

“I don’t like the way it looks now.”

“It feels too bulky.”

These were the phrases I uttered when trying out different cases for my iPhone. Maybe it would’ve protected it from this:

I dropped my iPhone one too many times.

On St. Patrick’s Day, my iPhone took a 4 foot tumble from a counter top to a concrete floor. To its credit–it still works perfectly. The touch screen itself has not been damaged, only the outer glass. It pinches, it slides, it texts, and otherwise works as new, but it has a deathly pall hiding its ingenious beauty. I’ve watched a YouTube disassembly video, ordered the requisite case-removal tool, and am waiting for a replacement glass from Hong Kong, hoping with everything that it fits.

I’ve dropped the iPhone a few times, I guess this was the last straw. I will definitely protect my next one (or repaired one) much better. Surgery video to come soon.
