Surprise iPhone Case Drop Test

We certainly receive a lot of email in from our customers telling us stories of ways our gear has in some way helped them or made some sort of difference in their lives. They can range from deployed units thanking us for our magazines that they can depend on, to the avid shooter that doesn’t have to break the bank to have a custom rifle. We recently had an email come in that caught our eye about our iPhone 4 Executive case and we wanted to share.

"I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your case and your products.  The first time I dealt with your PMAGS, I fell in love with them because they did not dent when dropped or run over by other officers during tactical drills.  I replaced most of my mags with them, but had to stop because the wife did not want me spending so much money again on AR mags when I had some already.  When I saw the case for my phone come out, naturally, I bought two. 

The other night, we were on a call out in the middle of the night.  I was standing on a third story landing and went to grab my phone to check email.  I was sickened when the phone slipped out of my hand and fell three stories, only to slam into concrete below. (*see illustration below*)

Illo I figured since the iPhone4 has actual glass front and back, it wasn’t going to be pretty, especially since I have only had it for two months. 

I ran down the stairs and picked it up.  To my amazement, nothing was scratched or broken.  I saw that the case had some minor damage so I took it off to check the actual phone and again, there was no damage.  The fall caused a reset of the phone, but other than that, it came out of it without any damage.  I was so impressed that I took photos of the area where it fell using the iPhone and took detailed photos of the case once back at the office.

I just wanted to say thank you for making such great products that actually work."

Well thank you David for your story and photos! Although we do rigorous testing on all of our products, it’s always good to see true, real-world condition test results come in; Even if it is a surprise test.

Well we’re happy everything worked out and David’s phone was safe and sound. Thanks again for sharing!

*please note in the text that while this story is
awesome and a testiment to our products WE DONT GUARANTEE that this sort of
result will be consistent. He was lucky. We're thrilled, but damn he was
lucky.*
