In our recent giveaway of the Nexus 4, we asked entrants:<\/p>\n

“What’s the worst injury your phone ever suffered?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are ten of the best answers we received.<\/p>\n

10. “Falling into a sewage tank.”<\/p>\n

9. “Set fire to it, testing to see if the side was made of metal.”<\/p>\n

8. “Dropped it into a concrete pour.”<\/p>\n

7. “Complete destruction after being run over by a tank.”<\/p>\n

6. “I put it in the oven to dry out after it took a shower… it actually melted.”<\/p>\n

5. “My boss dropped my phone into a pint of beer just because he thought it would be funny.”<\/p>\n

4. “I dropped it in a bowl of cereal.”<\/p>\n

3. “Ran through the washing machine, but I put it in a box of rice crispies and the only thing damaged was the camera.”<\/p>\n

2. “My phone saved my life once. A nail from a nail gun\u00a0ricocheted, and would have pierced my heart.\u00a0If I hadn’t had it in my chest pocket I’d be dead right now – instead the phone took the majority of the damage.”<\/p>\n

1. “Fell down the loo in the pub, but I didn’t notice until after I flushed. It got stuck in the U-bend, and after a few too many drinks I decided (as plumber of the year) to remove the U-bend and retrieve the phone. I got it out, but the bathroom flooded. I left the bathroom soaking wet, with the phone held aloft like a trophy to show my other half. I slipped on the step down to the bar, dropped the phone on the tiled floor and ended up with a smashed screen too.”<\/p>\n

A word cloud of the most popular responses.<\/p><\/div>\n

Reading through these entries was a lot of fun, and we may post more of the funnier answers – thanks everyone for contributing. Remember to keep your phone protected with a case in the meantime!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
