Clearly you know nothing about phones. The SG3 is possibly the biggest piece of shit quality wise. Even android authority said the iPhone is light years better than the SG3. The iPhone 5s design is very well made and its a lot better than previous models.
Fragile Cell Phones!!! GRRRRRRRR

I agree though, it's ironic the OP talks about sheep when people who buy iphone are seen as such. The iphone is a great device, i'll give it that but it's not the end all be all that most users make it seem.
Motorola Droid Razr Maxx here. I use the otterbox commuter case and I beat the crap out of it with zero issues. I am a fireman and it stays in my pocket under my gear every day. Been in plenty of fires with it, had it launch off the roof of my car one day onto the street when I forgot it was there, and no problems. The phone seems decently made but I really attribute it to the otterbox. I think it was money well spent. I want to say it was somewhere in the 20-25 dollar range off Amazon.
+1 I have an iPhone 5 with an otter box. I've dropped it on concrete multiple times. The case is a little banged up but the phone looks and works fine. That said, I like the iPhone but I will be going back to droid after this phone. My old droid x was indestructible. I used it for two years without a case and it took a beating but was far more glitchy than the iPhone.
Link?
We have site PM's with iPhones with otterboxes as well. Clumsiness needs massive protection.
it wouldnt be as necessary if the iphones glass edges were recessed into the silver bumper.
I rock one of these:
Samsung Galaxy SIII S3 TPU Case Gel Cover Glossy Smoke Tinted Candy Skin Lux | eBay
ive dropped it 3-4x now on my shops concrete floors and havent caused any more damage than I initially caused from running one without and dropping the phone 12" onto a concrete floor and it landing on the perfect edge and cracking my screen. I have a new screen but waiting to install it sometime in the future. Shit happens, even recessed it cant save a perfect angled drop.
That's why I won't buy one. I have a 4 that I drop daily. Still going strong.

You do realize performance wise the iPhone is far superior even to the quad core SG3 which isn't even available here.

I have kept all my iPhones in otterbox defender series. The case has a lifetime warranty that I have used a few times. Phone has been dropped off the top of an 8' ladder and water has been spilled on it. Phones have stayed protected. The otterbox is bulky and can be a pain when it sticks in your pocket but in my work environment it makes it worth it.
Ignore the silly iPhone naysayers. They be jealous!
Back on track. I've dropped my iPhone 5 a number of times (and my old iPhone 4S) a distance of maybe 3 feet with absolutely no damage. I did have a $10.00 thin edge case (I don't like bulky Otter cases) that helped for sure. I now have a more expensive (but thinner) case that looks better, along with a leather Splash holster case. The plastic case is just an ounce of protection should I accidentally drop it.
No cell phone is invincible. They will break if dropped hard enough.

Damn man - I dropped my iphone down the stairs, into puddles of water, onto tile floors all the time, and even onto the grill once. In spite of the faint char marks on the cheap case it's fine. Hell some drunk guy stepped on it at the Georgia game and put an indentation in the screen too:shrug:

I thought you were an adult. Accept responsibility for your actions and move on. I have a note 2 and I take care of it.

my note 2 demolishes the iturd 5. Not to mention my rooted droid razr was equal to an iturd
I dropped my old iPhone 3 one time from my pocket. Completely shattered my screen and had to replace. Dropped my S2 and S3 a few times over the years and never any damage to the screens.
Drop tests are dumb. It's too dependent on how it lands. You can't make it land the same way every time.

An attorney that I caddy for found a way to put his on his homeowners insurance, said he's gotten it replaced twice at no cost to him
i totally agree. the otterbox i had broke after a fall from pocket level. hit the corner where the plastic meets the rubber and shattered the case. saved my phone but in the end it was $30 wasted.
i hate my iphone, its such a POS. my EVO4G was a beast and held up to everything i put it through. im on my 2nd iphone in less than 6 months while i only had one evo for over 4 years.
android plastic :rockon:
Probably because 99% of iPhone fanboys jump right out and buy the newest apple product even if its on a minor change. Most phone companies are coming out with 2 brand new phones per year while apple is doing a minor update and calling it a new model. Most, if they tried out a new phone will be hooked and see apple isnt as great as they thought! Apple was innovatiive when they came out with their first phones, now days they are way behind the curve and rather than being innovative, theyre trying to sue their competition out of the market! That and greedy... Iphone 5 has a new connector because other patent ran out and they couldnt get royalties on each anymore so they change the connector juzt to be able to get a piece of every sale! Theiving bastards

Some of you guys are brutal on phones... my phone goes with me everywhere, I use it in the rain, it goes with me into burning buildings, freezing cold, extremely hot... I guess the only thing I don't do is drop it but damn... I've been an iPhone user since 2007 and have yet to break one. (I do use a generic $5.00 bumper... full disclosure. haha)
FWIW the Samsung fanboy thing is getting old... they too will break if dropped. Also who cares if my iPhone is just a minor update to the last one if I'm happy with the damn thing? (I laugh at the term minor here... compare a 4 to a 4s and then compare a 4s to a 5.. it's not a minor difference unless all you do is compare bullet points on paper)
