    Dropping a smartphone is one of the worst nightmare of a smartphone owner.

    How many times have you dropped your smartphone and what happened to it?

    I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S5. I had it for 4 months and thank God I've never dropped it yet. I came close to dropping it the other day.


    My previous smart phone was a Huawei ZTE.

    I had the Huawei for around two and half years and I dropped it around 4 times and it still worked.

    How about you?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and I've dropped it a few times. I have a case, but I've never cracked the screen. I've had it for over a year.

    I have dropped my phone a lot. This is why I now keep an otterbox on the thing. That way, I don't accidentally kill it...

    I have a Samsung Note 3, I love it! This September will actually be my first full year of owning it. It's also the first phone I've owned which is cool too. I've dropped it way more times than I can count and it works as fine as ever. Surprised a few times that the screen didn't crack, it's had some nasty falls!

    I've dropped it several times, but I've yet to drop it anywhere other than the floor at home, and that's just not enough to break it. It does have a couple visible dings, but they're nothing major. Compared to how most of my friends treat their phones, I'm the exception.

    What kind of cover do you have on there to protect your phone?

    I have "Impact Gel" cover on my phone.

    I hope it works as well as it show in the commercial.

    Never dropped it, but it slipped two or three times when I put it on something (Screw it's slippery screen). Still working perfectly, though :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    More than 4, that's for sure, but hasn't really taken any damage.

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, the screen is probably more cracked than not cracked. However it is still usable, so I'll put off getting a new one for as long as possible.

    There's no "I don't have a smartphone" option.... Probably because we are a rare species, the people without smartphones.

    0; though my "current smartphone" is now my iPod :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    My last smartphone I ended up dropping once, and wouldn't turn on afterwards.

    This has never been a problem for me. I may have knocked it off my desk onto carpet or something once or twice, but I've never dropped a phone on a hard surface or given it any kind of damage.

    A lot. I don't even remember. Thankfully, I have a Lifeproof case on it. My last phone didn't have a case. Didn't break but it felt chipped and rough around the edges.

    How old was your S3 when you dropped it? Did you have a case?

    I'm freaking out because I'm afraid my S5 won't turn on if I dropped it ONCE.

    Wayyy more than four times...oops

    It's in a pretty strong case though, probably why it hasn't given up on me yet.
