It fell out of a plane and lived!

My ex (a Verizon gal) recently purchased the iphone for the first time.  She asked if she should get the warranty on it.  She asked what was the liklihood of breaking the iphone.  From personal experience, I always break mine when my upgrade period starts (nice convenient coincidence).  The phone really is resilient in terms of durability.  This recent article only reinforces that fact.  A fine member of our military accidentally dropped his iphone from the plane he was on.  1,000 feet at 150 mph later, the phone survived the drop.  There are several commercials that can be made from this event.  Apple can make a MobileMe ad because that GPS service (free with the phone), actually located it in the wooded area.  Griffin can make a nice commercial about their phone covers, the phone was in their "Motif TPU" iphone case and kept the damage down to nothing.  I guess I don't need that Squaretrade iphone warranty after all.
