\"\"<\/a>

This was the beginning of a pretty bad Saturday...<\/p><\/div>\n

That’s how long have had my latest iPhone.<\/p>\n

I know, I dropped my original phone and had to deal with missing pixels for several months, then I dropped my 2nd iPhone into the toilet<\/a>…and now this.<\/p>\n

On Saturday morning Jacob and I were preparing to run at our local Relay for Life event (which ended up canceled due to poor weather)…I was putting the phone into a velcro sleeve so I could start running. And it fell to the ground. It landed squarely on its back. Hence the dramatic cracking you see here.<\/p>\n

The good news is that the phone itself is still working perfectly fine. The phone, the GPS\/location services, the camera, the motion sensors, leveling sensors, etc. It’s all good. Yay!<\/p>\n

I do NOT have AppleCare. I had assumed the computer and media rider on my property insurance would take care of this, but it probably won’t. While on Saturday I was pretty nervous about having to spend $750 on a new replacement for this phone, it probably won’t be quite that bad.<\/p>\n

The continued good news is that I can apparently bring the phone to an Apple Store and one can replace the back glass inexpensively. Anywhere from $29 to $100 based on assorted Apple support forums.<\/p>\n

But wait. I don’t live near an Apple Store! \u00a0Never fear! \u00a0Next month I’ll be in Omaha and I think I’ll take my phone to the store out there and see what they can do.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I got my hands on a pretty substantial case<\/a>. In part because I’m really paranoid now, but also because I need to protect that cracked back panel — there are slivers of glass that can cut up my fingers, and Dave reminded me that I needed to protect the phone more now from that pervasive Florida moisture!<\/p>\n

Just call me “Butterfingers”. \u00a0Sigh…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
