Tips on keeping your iPhone safe, and what happens when you don't have your LifeProof on your iPhone...

Yep, we've seen it a billion times before, but you never think it will happen to you. You usually see it when you're on YouTube, or at a store, or from a friend; but, you never expect it to happen to you. Believe it or not, it's pretty easy to keep your iPhone in control most of the time, but there's always that one time that you couldn't do anything about it, and splat happens. A good few tips to keep your iPhone Safe.

1. Please iPhone responsibly: Put a LifeProof case on. LifeProof cases are currently the leading case in the world for complete 365 Degree protection for any iPhone 4/4S you might want to keep safe.
2. Instead of trying to grab for it while it's on the way down, try and project your foot to where it might land, and stick it there as fast as possible to break the fall. If you can, though, with lightning fast reflexes, both put your foot out and catch it before it falls, you should be fine. Hopefully, all will work out properly, and you'll save yourself hours of pain and a new phone. 
3. Don't be careless with your iPhone or try to rush for it. It's one of the slipperiest things on the planet when naked. (without a case on) If you can, be as slow as you can when you're pulling your iPhone out of a tight pocket, and handle with absolute care (unless you have a LifeProof case, then this matters nothing). The slower you get it, the better grip you have, and less of a chance of dropping it inadvertently. If you have a different type of case (Mophie Juice Pack, Speck, Incase, or other variety, etc.) you still should be careful, as most of these leave the front of the iPhone vulnerable to destruction. Even though the  tough for drops OtterBox is a better option for protection from drops than previously mentioned generic cases, it's still not waterproof. Let me make that perfectly clear: the only case that offers complete protection, from drops, spills, and water/dirt, is the LifeProof case. The choice is obvious.
4. Have some type of warranty for accidents/insurance/protection plan. I personally trust, and use Best Buy's Geek Squad Black Tie Protection. Yes, it may be a bit pricier than other options like Square Trade warranties, but I say it's worth it because you go to a location and you don't have to do anything else yourself. (Will be posting a full GSBTP review later on) The only option I can think of, for those of us who actually do live near an Apple Store, is AppleCare+. Downside for that is, some of us don't have an Apple Store nearby. Also, Black Tie isn't limited to only 2 replacements, and it does not have a deductible or $49 whatsoever. Hence, if you're prone to accidents, I'd recommend Black Tie Protection, by Best Buy's Geek Squad.

Ok, so, now to the good part. Here's the video of my destroyed iPhone just as promised... Enjoy!
