true , doesnt matter how much i take care of it , it ends up slipping thur my fingers and falling down , but i heard the ihpone is really resistent , ive seen lots o videos on youtbue about all kinds of crash ,crush and destroy the iphone and its pretty resistent , theres more chances of ur iphone to die out of battery problems (all ipods after 1 year have batts problems, expendable) than brake from falling down
