Two days ago i washed my pants because i stepped in poison oak and in my caution to keep from further exposing myself to the poison i forgot to remove my phone from my pocket.
When i pulled it out it looked totally fucked. the back plate flew off and the screen was shattered senseless. I wrote it off, but just in case, i left it out to dry and didn't try to start it (i've heard that this can cause shorts to an otherwise undamaged waterlogged phone). Today i booted the thing and everything except the digitizer (touch screen) works. Holy shit are these things durable (minus the glass screen). anyhow the point of my post was to marvel at the fact that these phones are practically waterproof and the part of the screen that breaks can (hopefully) be replaced for $13. Amazing.
