If you look at it this way the phone weighs 130 grams and when dropped 1m it has an energy of 1.24 joules. thats equivalent to dropping 1.24 apples from the same distance. When the apple hits it will deform with a soft spot. I can push on an apple and cause a deeper soft spot than a 3ft drop. I'm just saying the facts dont add up to a 1m drop. I am just being brutally honest, many people who makes a mistake will use language that supports their argument. The OP was upset the metal deformed during a drop and i am asking if he is exaggerating the facts to support his view. I assume either the OP was standing and it sustained a 4-6ft drop or he tried to catch it and only succeeded in rocketing it into the ground, or I guess a third option is his phone was made of tin foil.
