I finally made the smartphone transition this year when I got my iPhone. I had been stubborn, because the idea of carrying around such an expensive, fragile thing really freaked me out. But, like everybody else who has one, now I love my smartphone. And I’m practically glued to the screen at all times. My fear hasn’t disappeared though. I’m still terrified of breaking the thing, and I’m sure I would have at this point if it weren’t for my case.

I know I can’t be the only one with this problem. And because we love our CC readers, we’re going to help you out. We’re giving away an awesome, indestructible phone case from Ballistic. Check out the details below.

You can now stay protected and maintain your trendy appearance with a case you can fit in your pocket, the Ballistic Lifestyle! This case offers the best of both worlds — its ultra-sleek profile creates minimal bulk, but still provides maximum protection. It’s also equipped with interchangeable Ballistic Corners in various thickness options – so choose your style: curved or rounded – either way you’ll be protected when life strikes.

Sounds pretty neat, right? Well, the good news is we’re giving away five!

    The worst thing that I have ever done to a phone is drop it down a flight of stairs after I left the tanning salon. Of course it landed right on it's screen and it shattered. Worst feeling of my entire life.

    I have accidently knocked it off of a table while it was plugged in and therefore messed up the screen where you can't read it anymore.

    I've killed two phones pretty violently. One i managed to run over with my truck and a trailer…still worked but wouldn't hold a charge any more. The other got knocked off and a cow kicked it into a puddle. Which I didn't see was gone until few hours later. That one I managed to stick in rice and dry out and after 3 days it worked until I got my new one.

    I managed to drop mine on the hinge Freshman year while walking to class. It was a flat fatter version of the razor that I loved. The screen went black but I was able to use it for a little while until I got the cash to get a new one. I could call using the speed dial that I had set and using two clicks I got it to speaker phone.

    Once I was doing laundry and I was moving my dads laundry from the wash to dryer when I found his phone in the wash. I quickly threw my laundry in the wash and ran up to tell my dad, which was about the same time I realized I threw my coat with my phone in the pocket into the wash! Needless to say he never let me live that down.

    Me and my roommate were at a restaurant and he thought it would be funny to hide my phone in my empty chip bag while I was in the bathroom. He went to the bathroom when I got back and I got up and through my trash away.. Didn’t realize I was missing it until we got back to the car.. So yea I threw it away..

    I dropped it on the floor of a college bar, water seeped inside the glass and damaged the pixels. Thankfully I got it replaced for free at the Apple Store (they thought it was a malfunction on their parts!)

    I had been talking with one of my friends on my phone as I was walking onto the elevator to go up to her dorm to gossip & eventually study for finals, I hit my elbow on the door of the elevator & my phone fell right through the crack of the elevator floor. Oh, & I was left with my phone battery in the palm of my hand.

    One time on a bus to Chicago, I fell asleep with my phone on my chest. I woke up to it not working because I drooled on it. Embarrassing :(

    Worst thing to ever happen to my phone was randomly going to the beach and deciding to jump in with phone in my pocket. :(

    Flushed it down the toilet. Not dropped in the toilet, literally flushed. I was a little, ahem, inebriated, and I didn't notice it fell out of my back pocket when I pulled my pants down. So I flush, wash my hands, go to grab my phone and realize I don't have it – because the toilet is trying to suck it up. It didn't work after that.

    About three weeks ago, I left my phone in the dashboard in my car earlier in the day, apparently right next to a single fish oil vitamin of mine. Sometime during the course of the day, the fish oil exploded all over my phone. I got back in my car that night to go out – When I went to go pick it up, fish oil was EVERYWHERE, even in the battery. It quickly spread all over my hands and legs, and I had to explain to everyone the rest of the night why I wreaked of fish. :(
