A back pocket isn't a good place for a mobile phone, regardless of how much you actually weigh.



Victim
Tomo

Scene of Accident
A bench at Odaiba

Broken Item
NTT DoCoMo F505i

Details of Accident
I was carrying some stuff, so I put my mobile phone in my back pocket. But I completely forgot about it and sat down to take a rest o­n a bench. After a bit, I decided to take a look at my mail, and when I opened my phone, I saw what you see above. If you look very, very closely, you can see that the LCD itself is cracked. I was in a bit of shock because of what happened, but luckily, the data inside the phone was fine.

Repair Costs
Around 4,000 yen

More from the Contributor
This is my 5th mobile phone, and never before had I broken o­ne, so I was unprepared to deal with it. I used to read this corner and think, "man, mobile phones can break pretty easily," but I had always thought it was something that happened to other people and not myself, so to have my own broken I realized how shortsighted that really is. I have never thought I would be submitting to this corner. I was just thinking of changing handsets, but had recently decided to keep o­n with this o­ne, so it's a bit of a shame. The damage amount is the cost to change to a new handset.
