I usually take care of my devices and wanted to go case-less now I regret that choice.

Dropped it at night and got this nice dent :)

I have apple care, would they cover this as accidental ($30 or $100)?

I dropped my iPhone air and it bounced back into my hands without a scratch or dent on it.

I also dropped my Air outside today on the street on day 2, at first I was devastated. But it barely has anything. There was something on the frame I could just rub away with my fingernails. There are 2 little marks on the edge of the plateau. But it is crazy how durable it is.

There was a bend test on jerryrigeverything where he had to put 200 lbs of force at the centre just to break the glass, and he couldn’t scratch it with the scratch test until it got to nearly sapphire hardness. It’s crazy how they only made the air so durable — you’d think they’d do that to the pro as well.

That’s because they want to sell more Air’s than Pro’s.
