Yesterday I was cleaning up the yard with my tractor/snowblower and at some point in the process my iphone fell outa my pocket and into the snow without my knowledge.. So I finish cleaning the yard and head inside for some tea when I reach for my iphone to find it missing.. Oh no!
I do a quick visual inspection of the area and find nothing.. Then get another phone and call myself repeatedly while walking in circles listening for a ring.. Nothing.. The problem is my hearing is significantly weakened from an old diving injury.. I give up and head inside deciding if it got picked up through the blower it likely was destroyed..
Later that day (4hrs roughly) i'm relaying the story to my gf who is accustomed to my frequent mishaps and decides to give her ear a try.. Within minutes she returns with a big grin and phone in hand..
To both our amazement, not only did it still work, but was completely unscathed.. Knowing my gadget breaking prowess, my gf had given me an Otter Box Defender Iphone case fro christmas and i've been trying it out since to determine if it offers enough protection to justify the weight.. (Iphone with case weights 6.9oz)
I was given my answer today.. Yes!
