>dropped, forgotten places, thrown around, banged around, kidnapped by a dog, you name it.

You need a phone that you LOVE so much that you will never:

-drop -forget -throw around -bang around -have it kidnapped by animals

You need a phone you love so much that you feel an urge to make sweet and passionate love with it every single day.

You're right. My phone and I need a bond with the Universe such that I can predict every unfortunate thing that happens to it both from inside forces (forgetting it) and outside ones (dognapping).

Look. I care for my phone (Bionic), but there's a reason it has a case around it, and there's a reason I have insurance. Accidents happen. With a rugged phone, those accidents csn be less detrimental.

But those events are the inevitability of having a phone you carry and use 12 hours a day. I know they shouldn't happen, and I try to avoid them, but alas...

My point wasn't that this phone was superior to any other phone in that regard. Just that I haven't been able to kill it yet, and I certainly don't baby it.

If you love your phone set it free. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't, it never was.

people treat their phones the way they treat their gf/wife. :)
