Dropped my phone for the first time ever today. It landed right on the headphone jack and dented the housing. Headphones still work but the plug is super hard to get in and out. The screen is still intact but does anyone have any suggestions on what to do about the headphone jack?

I can get a picture if anyone wants one.

Bend it or smooth it down depending on what is wrong. But the best choice is always Android

//just do the stereotype

//and get a new iPhone

//because you can probably afford

//i'm generalising

//i have an iPhone too

//i use one of these

//yes it's quite expensive

//yes i have a white iPhone

//no i'm not a white girl

//maybe i am

But all jokes and stereotypes aside, it's a great bumper. The only problem is, your headphones may not fit through the hole for the headphone jack after you put that case on - my UrbanEars fit snugly though.

I probably should have prefaced this with "I'm not a fanboy." I've had both, I liked my Android phone, so far I've liked my iPhone but for me, there isn't anything that makes one any better than the other. Although, Apple's assembly quality appears to be better than my old Android phone and I like the aluminum housing.

I have an otter box but I don't really like using it. I know it's part of my problem going without a case. I have found a replacement backing plate if I need to go that route.

I agree the build quailty is better than most Android phones. That's why I have the HTC one m8. Best build quality out there imo. After having a metal phone. I could never have a plastic one again.

I could do that. I think the plan right now is to pull it apart and try to bend the corner back. Backup plan: purple phone.

Agreed. I'm going to pull it apart and try to bend the housing back. Backup plan: purple phone.
