I had a <i>bad</i> motorcycle wreck a couple years ago.  I was hit head-on and got to experience the joy of flight momentarily before landing on my back and ass in the road.  At the time, my iPhone (4) was in my back left pocket, protected by a heavy duty Otterbox &quot;Defender&quot; protective case.  While several of my bones were -- to borrow your term -- &quot;shattered&quot;, the iPhone (and case) survived my landing on it (with some speed and force, I might add) just fine.  A nurse in the E.R. used it to call my girlfriend and I continued to use it until I bought a 6s when they just recently came out.<p>On that note, the <i>first</i> thing I did with that 6s was to secure it inside a new Otterbox Defender. They&#x27;re certainly not the cheapest cases you can buy but they&#x27;re cheaper than a new iPhone and, to me at least, they&#x27;re worth every penny.<p>If it&#x27;s just the screen and the phone still actually functions, you can get it replaced.  That won&#x27;t be real cheap, either, but it&#x27;ll be cheaper than a new phone.<p>I&#x27;m sorry that happened to you, it really does ruin your day when that happens.
