It’s kinda shitty that ABC ran a picture with the recipient’s name unobscured…
I just wanna know what brand of phone case was on that phone.
Some phone case company is about to get some serious free advertising
Typically whenever you hear about stuff like this, it brands like uag (urban armor gear) and otterbox.
I have one called Beetle Defender and it's been even better than the OtterBox cases I've had. The Otterbox's silicone part would always get stretched out and become loose over time, with the flaps no longer closing or the corners coming off.
I used to have a otterbox too, but I recently got a uag case and those are some of the most duarable cases ive ever used. The only problem is they are expensive.
+1 to otter box - love their rugged cases
the fact that "the phone wasn't locked" surprised me more than its surviving the fall 🙃 then i realized the discrepancy. i should stop reading posts in privacy communities 🙂
Some people are sane and use cases and glass screen protectors. Phones dont have a great enough terminal velocity to damage the internals. People get cases and throw band new iphones out of apartment buildings
I don't feel the need to get a case that would allow my phone to survive an incident that I wouldn't survive.
I want evidence of my gruesome death to be posted online for internet clout

Also if it landed on grass or fell through thin tree branches, there is almost no chance of damage.
My case has saved my phone screen so many times. Its raised edge keeps the screen from smashing into the ground.
I always use a glass screen protector, my last phone (Galaxy A71) only had a case, dropped it 100's of times, one time there was a little pebble on the ground and that shattered my screen, for $10 you can get a 3 pack of glass screen protectors. Well worth it IMO
I have yet to understand the "discrepancy". Which brand doesn't default to locking the phone automatically after a short timeout? I've never had a smartphone that stays unlocked.
Users can change that setting. One of my friends doesn't like having to unlock his phone, so he turned off locking
Just knowing there are people out there who do these things gives me anxiety on their behalf. WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT
they are proud of their butthole photos and want everyone to see
You know you aren't forced to put a password on your phone...
It was still in Airplane mode.
That's why it survived the landing.
God damn it. I envy the effortless wittiness of some of you.
Airplane mode engages the parachute
Surely you can't be serious?
(Oh, wait, wrong Airplane....)
I am serious — and don’t call me Shirley.
Damn, this ARG stuff goes hard.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
