Recent trip back to Bangkok in Suvarnabhumbi Airport on a slope travelator going from 3rd to 4th floor with luggage on tow and WhatsApping with my 5s. Someone accidentally banged me on the back and really didn't know how it happened but my 5s dropped out of my hand over the rail and down 3 floors. On its way down I couldn't see it. So I quickly went down and look for it. I expect only two things, someone took it away and surely its broken, 3 floors.

Looked and looked and a cleaning lady saw me instinctively pointed me to a ledge. I got a man to climb outside and get it for me.

It was dirty and looked beaten. So it is the result

The phone is now bend but screen is still perfectly flat (gorilla glass I was just told). There's also a dent at the back. Other than these the phone is performing perfectly.

Dent








I'm impressed but sadden that my new phone became a banana now.
 
Seems like Space Gray is the best color if you want to hide nicks and scratches.

Too bad a lot of Asians (Ah Nehs and Chinese especially) love the Gold iPhone 5s. :rolleyes:

What happened to the glass screen?

This was the surprise, nothing happen. Was expecting it to at least crack after such trauma. Spoke to Tony and he told me its Gorilla Glass II very strong, guess it worked.

it's ok. you've just upgraded your 5s to the 6. the 6 will fit the curvature on your cheek, and you can have a better ear-to-mouth experience when you talk. :p

Ya ya ya my graphic designer told me same thing this morning but he meant the other cheek and could fit in my back pocket snugly.

Looks like tonychat the gong cheebye was wrong. iPhone is not for ah quas. It is like the phone designed for a Spartan warrior
 
Plastic phones don't absorb shock well.

You can see the difference in durability between the iPhone 5S and 5C, when both phones are dropped.

iphone 5s is a "plastic phone". It's not a metal casing that it seems to be.
