    This game is simple. All you need to do is list what crazy things your cell phones have made it through.

    My phone has been left out in the rain, gone through the washer machine, dropped down three flights of stairs, and has gotten stuck in a revolving door.

    My old phone once went into the sea with me because we were on a trip and somehow though it would be funny to wade in fully-clothed. The phone was in my pocket and I forgot. Haha. Funnily enough I think it survived...

    My phone has survived being accidentally flung across a concrete parking lot a few times. Not a single scratch on it. (And, no, it's not a Nokia, it's a Samsung Intercept. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: )

    I used to slam my old flip phone on the ground when I got really pissed off and it survived 2 years of that but eventually broke in half. My phone now has fallen out of my car and off my bed numerous and I have thrown it a couple of times and it's still good as new and it's a touch screen phone.

    My good old Nokia 6220C once fell down from one floor of our school to another while I was running which made it even worse. It still worked, but then it started getting out of order... :frowning2: I really miss it, that phone had an amazing camera <3

    It survived falling on and sliding across a sidewalk, being dropped on the floor many times, and getting wet.

    Of course, its protective case helped in all these instances...

    I had a Samsung S25, the first ever to have 3 different colour display. an old brick if you ask me, but it went through hell and back with me. It once flew out of the window of our car while I was driving and talking to my folks at nearly 120km/h. that same phone, when i experience car trouble and phoned my dad to ask him what could be wrong, was crushed by the bonet a few time (i even tried to slam the bonet to get it closed and only a few seconds later saw my phone was the problem. it was in the sea several times including the toilet once.

    I was so sad to replace that phone!

    This current phone hasn't been through too much, but I've lost 4 phones in weird ways before.

    1) Being dropped from a ladder
    2) Being stepped on by an ox
    3) Being dropped in a bucket of paint
    4) Going through the washing machine


    Yeah, I ask my friends not to lend me anything they don't want destroyed...

    I dropped my old phone out of a moving car. I was surprised to find that it still worked. I killed that phone by leaving it outside in the rain.

    dog got ahold of it and by the time i got it back it was covered in Silvia.
     
  14. ...which phone?
    it seriously depends, I have had several and most of them were TANKS.

    I washed one in the pocket of my jeans.
    I had one run over by a car.
    I've dropped them from all kinds of heights onto wood,
    I've dropped them in half full tubs or sinks of water.
    I've dropped them in puddles.
    I've accidentally launched them across the room into walls.
    I've left them on buses and on the floors of various people's cars.
    I've accidentally left them in snowbanks overnight where they fell from my pocket.

    So many more things have happened to my various phones...I don't even remember it all, but it seems like it was always something.

    My phone has been rooted by me... and it has fallen from my pocket like a million times at the gym.
