Let's see you drop *ANY* phone from a story up and see if it survives. That's why I have one.
I don't know how many screens I've seen cracked or destroyed because someone dropped it.. from 3 FEET! I'd rather have $50 worth of insurance and a slightly thicker case than be without a phone for a week. That week could cost me >$1k.
