I showed my sister my 4S recently, she was thinking of upgrading, and she was amazed at my lack of case.

"How do you protect it from scratches?" she asked, to which I replied "I don't drop it."

I can't really comprehend dropping this thing, it costs $4-500! That's a lot of money! I can't imagine not handling things that cost that much without the utmost of care.



I'm with you. Accidents happen, but most can be prevented if you just treat your expensive device with care and respect. I find that people really don't like that advice, though!


The carrier subsidy model is partly to blame for that mindset. I don't know how many people really understand the device they are tossing around actually costs $650 and not $199.
