I find the drop tests relevant, but not the 50 cal. test. iPhones aren't designed to stop bullets. They aren't nokia phones.

He bought it he can do what he wants with it, do you want him to buy you one? Who gives what he does with it. For the people who have trouble getting one, go ask obama for one!
