Well got a little stupid while out on the town last week and was on the phone...tripped over myself and threw my phone....RIP old friend. Had to pony up $300 for a new one, ill fix the screen and sell it for more $$$$ muhahahahaha
Edit, played with it a little more...I shot it on a textured white form core board, so it added something extra.Please C&C

Kind of a cool, stock image for the current state of the world...

You could PS any number of images on the screen depending on which socio-economic "egg" you wanted to show as cracked.

Good thinking on your part to shoot it as is.

Mmm. I like it - well lit and framed. Hoping that mine avoids such a disaster..

As someone who broke one that was pre-release.... and broke it's replacement 3 days later.... I feel your pain. However, after putting a "skin" on it.... it has lasted since I upgraded to the never version. Jinx... watch me brake the stupid thing walking out to my car.

I'm guessing that it still worked? If I did that to my iPhone, I'd keep it just to be unique. And because all my money is going to this hobby. :)

I cringe when I think of my (good friend) iPhone --- being broken and away from me for any length of time. I am going to hold mine tight and keep her safe tonight........ time to too short to now show your iPhone some real love.

Good image. I like the lighting and the 911 call on the screen. :)

I broke my touch screen phone shortly after I bought it (not iPhone) when I sat it on top of a tire and it rang (vibrate mode) and fell off onto a concrete floor. Bought a new screen on ebay and changed it myself. They're pretty fragile due to the large expanse of glass.

Did you see the YouTube video of the iPhone torture test?

You can wash it up with soap and water and probably get more re-sale bucks when it looks brand spanking new...exept for the cracks on the screen...

I've seen the glass crack like that on another IPhone, and I find it weird that the glass isn't made of liquid crystals but actual glass.

The screen was cracked like that and still worked, thing was fine. Just had a nasty crack in it, that's all. Sorry about yours :( That's horrible. Least you found a cringing shot to create of it
