iPhone Survives 1,000-Foot Drop Without a Scratch

You might as well JUMP!

U.S. Air Force Combat Controller Ron Walker says he dropped his iPhone 4. That’s happened to us all, but at the time Walker was leaning out of a US Air Force plane door while preparing for a static line jump from 1,000 feet.

After the jump, Walker says he used the Find My iPhone app, and found his iPhone at the base of a tree in a forest. The phone was unscratched and worked fine, according to Walker.

The phone had a Griffin Motif case, and no other protection.
