My husbands Q took a 50 Foot Dive

[Geekster]

My husband was on a catwalk at work 50 feet in the air doing whatever he was doing up there. He had papers & his cell phone in his pocket & after a bit he noticed that his papers were laying on the catwalk but he finished his work, climbed down the ladder not thinking about his cell phone.
When he got to the bottom and stepped off the ladder there was his trusty MotoQ in it's protective case laying face down on the cement floor.
He picked it up expecting it to be in pieces, to hear little rattles of dislodged phone parts, the face of phone cracked, smashed .....
Nothing...
It survived the fall. No cracks, rattles, or scratch. Still works, still tells him where he has to be and when, still phones, still texts, still gets on the net.
He called and said the battery didn't even dislodge.
Amazing! Tough little phones...
I guess the worse thing you can do is take for a swim-huh?

Probably because they dont have them in cases. One reason I make sure to have a case is I know im clumsey so why invite catastrophe but rather try to prevent it.

if it landed flat face down, like not on a corner or anything, the weight would disperse enough to not affect it really...ps...f heights

still pretty rugged to take the shock.

If it was mime, I'm sure a rock would have helped break the fall.
