    Dude I was all paranoid when the phone came to me. I made sure I had the case and screen protector installed before I even touched them. The iPhone 6 felt so much better than the plus

    lol, this is my fear with all my electronics. My last computer I closed the screen on a phone plug in and cracked the shit out of it, less than 2 weeks old. Fix was easier and cheaper than I thought, but still.

    Yeah the bigger they are, the more opportunity you will fumble them and break it.

    I drop my galaxy S4 all the time, the lifeproof case is really great and give me direct touch to the screen. No breaks yet. I saw a news special that said as long as your case protects the edges and gives a space on the screen then it will protect fro 99% of your drops. Even the cheap cases work great, news caster was throwing his phone down the sidewalk.

    I still don't trust it. Of course they might not break. One time I was in magic mountain and on the tatsui ride. When I was roughly 300 ft up, both mine and my wife's phone flew out of my back pocket. I was like "omg wtf?!"

    I used my find my iPhone from my brother in laws phone and found them both. Neither one was without a case and they had not even a scratch on them.

    Dang that is a crazy drop, I would assume it was toast by then.

    DC, I actually like the functionality of otterbox better than lifeproof, my next case will be otterbox, probably just the commuter version though.

    Dude I thought for sure i would have 2 destroyed phones. I think they fell into a bush first or something. I was extremely lucky.

    Then I can give you another story where I had my iPhone 4 right out of the box. I dropped it no higher than 4" from my granite counter top and the glass webbed up like something from Halloween.

    I think the new design "rounded corners" should eliminate those fragile drops. The old iPhones can crack if you hit the corner perfectly.

    Ugh, shouldn't have upgraded to icloud drive. Only works for iOS8 and Yosemite. iOS8 sucks on my ipad so I went back to iOS7 and Yosemite isn't out. So all my pages and numbers documents are currently in "destinations unknown".

    BAH.

    Don't really check. I don't leave stuff on my ipad really. I had enough to do the update, i only have the 16GB version but I keep things minimal. Right now I have 5.9GB

    Should be enough for browser cache.

    I have the 64G version.
