I got a couple hundred bucks back from my state tax return this year, and extreme apple fanboyism caused me to jump ship from the hellhole that was Verizon Wireless to the slightly less evil AT&T for the hot and sexy iPhone.
I’ve found I use it pretty much constantly, so much that Jane refers to it as my “mistress” who I spend more time with than her. I couldn’t counter this argument, I was too busy playing Uno.
Tonight while getting out of the car with my hands full, I fumbled the device which cascaded to the ground, screen first. After a resounding “Shit!” that earned me a dirty look from a neighborhood mother, I examined the phone, which appeared to be fine. Initially, I merely marveled at how surprisingly resilient the thing is.
After I got inside and gave it proper inspection, though, it became clear that there is a substantial crack in the glass, which runs from the lower left corner all the way to halfway up the right side. The phone is, for the moment, still fully functional, however being that the device is only usable by putting pressure on the place where it’s broken, I don’t expect that to last.
Being a forward thinking individual, I opened a $500 line of insurance on the device days after buying it through my auto insurer for the price of $35 a year. The policy assumes all risk with no deductible or co-insurance on my part, so I should be able to secure a new phone easily. I will report back on how that goes when I call them first thing Monday Morning.
