I bought an iPhone 4 and an otterbox defender case to keep it safe b/c I had heard that the screens broke easily.  I was looking at an amoled screen b/c of the fact it won't shatter.  But, I heard really good things about the iPhone 4; the sales person assured me that the otterbox would keep it safe.   So, I fell on some ice yesterday (we had an ice storm this week) and when I fell the otterbox was on my hip (as designed) and the phone was facing with the screen inwards so as to keep it most safe.  I fell on my back not my hip and when I got up the whole screen was shattered.  Now, I've only had the phone for 3 months, but Otterbox, Apple, and At&t won't do anything for me.  I don't feel this phone is designed for everyday use and the case does nothing to protect it from anything more than scratches. 

Just beware before you buy a $600 phone that if anything happens no one will help you.

thanks for your sharing

My whole family has otterbox and we've never had a problem. My cousin, who is a complete idiot when it comes to taking care of his phones has even managed to keep his in one piece.
