Default Best $4 spent...

So we were at walmart today and as I was holding my phone i reached up to grab a toy for my son with the same hand. Phone slipped out of my hand at over 6ft and smash. There it was laying face down on some sticky tile covered concrete battery cover and case laying beside it. As I bend down to pick it up pissed off thinking i just broke my 3 day old phone I flip it over and not a single crack, scratch or blemish. Just 1 hour after installing a new bulletproof screen guard and cheap (although quite tough and has a great feel) ebay case my phone was saved. Just goes to show you dont have to spend upwards of 60$ to protect your device. I spend just over $4 and it has already paid off once...

Don't let the price fool you. Mine fits perfect, no bubbles, no difference in touch sensitivity and got 6 for $.99.

I had a white vivid and was just shy of two weeks of ownership and it falls three feet onto concrete face down. Expected it to be cracked and it was. It sucks because the insurance company only had black ones so now i have a black one.
You lucked out. I'm jealous

That sucks to hear. I thought mine was a goner but its was in perfect shape after it fell. I ordered another pack of screen protectors and 2 more cases just to have spares. Im thinking about getting the white speck case and white moshi protector but I dont know how the protector would look on top of the black phone....
