Worst device damage story — We gave our son an iPod Touch 3g for his 16th birthday! A pretty pricey gift, but since it was for a special birthday, we felt it was worth it. It was beautiful, sleek and in an awesome CandyShell case! He has some hot ear buds too! 4 days later, it was stolen out of his gym locker at school! Talk about being devastated…and mad! A police report was filed. Thanks to some amazing friends with good ears, tips were found and the thief was caught and charged! YAY Justice! BUT, he destroyed the iPod and the beautiful Speck case. Bashed it with a brick to destroy evidence. The thief has to pay to replace the iPod. The case and ear buds are up to us (don't think that is fair, but that is what the teen court system decided). SO, a shiny new Candy Shell for his iPod Touch 3g would be awesome! What a great story to tell if he is chosen the winner!

First choice – Batwing Black
Second choice – Waxstick White

Sorry – realized I didn’t specify which fabric case would be my preferred one – I’d like the white plaid, not the black with the thin white dot stripes. Was reading through the comments and evidently lloydrv specified “both” cases as well – I read that first as “yes, I would like the black and white plaid one” (as it has black in it) not, there is a black case and a white plaid case.

Anyhow, hopefully there are enough cases to go around as there are only 8 comments (as of now) and 2 of them are case clarifications

Worst? You got it! I was with my wife and friends drinking at a bar and when nature called, I answered it at the urinal. Mid-stream, my phone started vibrating. Being drunk and eager, I tried to answer it and dropped it right in my _____. Yup, you guessed it… ruined by #1. The funny thing was… it was my wife that was calling, wondering where I had gone because she didn’t see me in the bar.

I would rock the 3G Purple Pink, or second choice would be WaxStick White (urine-free please)

My tale is an old one. Sometime in the early nineties I had a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III hand held LCD game. (http://bit.ly/PvIjU) and I left it on top of the trunk of my Dad’s car. My dad went for pizza. I tried to find that game for like two hours after dinner. I was so annoyed my dad took me out to rent a Nintendo game. The rental store was right next to the pizza place and my game was sitting in the parking lot cracked and totally busted. Cried like a little girl….

Sigh.

I’d like the 3G case in white or blue if I win.

Here goes, a few months back i was trying to use those new Ziploc steamer bags that you put in the microwave ( a microwave is a device right?) followed their instructions and cut up my carrot into slices put the bag same side up etc as i had with other items in the past, i set the timer for about half the recommended time and turned around to finish something else. Then it happened, i started hearing strange noises coming from behind me and when i turned around i saw what appeared to be a strange light show emanating from the microwave area. As i stepped over i was startled to discover my microwave was having an identity crisis and had decided it wanted to be a fireplace, flames were emanating from the Ziploc bag now filled with orange charcoal. I hit the clear button in a panic and the flames went out. Unfortunately the smell did not… Sigh much worse than the foil wrapped pop tart of 2005.

The worst issue I have had, and have been pretty lucky, is that I have my iMac on my desk at work – had an external CD drive on the desk underneath. Thought I had plenty of room to slide my tablet PC underneath, went to slide it in and somehow caught the “corner” of my iMac (it doesn’t have corners BTW) and have a lovely scratch on the lid of my tablet. Not as bad as a cracked screen or busted chassis, but still annoying nonetheless. Now all of my devices, laptops included, get at least a vinyl overlay (clear or printed) to protect from things like this.
I’ve got skins from both iStyles.com and GelaSkins.com for my MacBook Pro, Dell laptops, iPhone 3GS and BlackBerry Bold.

If I win, I’d love to have the fitted fabric case as I’m a rudeboy at heart, second choice would be the blue candyshell for the iPhone 3GS.

My worst device damage story has to be the time when I ruined my 120GB external HDD. At the time it was attached to my PowerBook, and when I heard a tortured, knocking noise from inside the drive I unplugged it in a panic. After trying to get it to mount, I only made things worse by attempting a reformat, erase, everything but research recovery options first. Ergo one bricked drive, lots of lost files.

1) Speck fitted iPhone case, black & white plaid.
2) Speck Candy Shell iPhone case, WaxStick White
