Do you bring your Iphone outside?

RobitTV

do you bring your iphone outside? just wondering because alot of people said Its not worth losing it, and ive heard people saying his/hers got lost or stolen!

Do you bring yours out?

Silverfish

Wouldn't be much use to me if I didn't!

I wouldn't take it out on the street if someone asked me the time or whatever though.

Kunny

If you dont want to bring it outside, then what is the point in having it .. kinda goes against the idea of a mobile device!!

Phones being lost or stolen is not unusual. Bit of savvy and luck and you shouldn't have it stolen, bit of care and you shouldn't lose it.

seanybiker

You cannot be serious !!!!!!!

dee o gee

I do, would beat the purpose of me having one if I didn't! Im way more careful of it than my old phone though, always try to put it in a zip pocket so it doesn't fall out or hold it in my hand in my pocket!

df1985

when i first got it i was ridiculously cautious, i went looking for a strap to tie it onto me so if it was taken from my pocket you'd have to take me with it too!

that lasted about 2 weeks, and i treat it like any other phone now.

actually, I attach mine to a cable that connects to my wall so I don't lose it.

Ahhh, but what is the WALL attached to????:eek:

I keep mine in a case in the glove compartment of my car. Then I have a call divert set up to my trusty Nokia 6210i.

It's safe there as the car never leaves the garage......those roads are busy out there!

I presume you also have your garage alarmed

Hell, I don't even take mine out of the box.

Thank heavens for voice dialing and Bluetooth.

I wouldn't bother with the iPhone if I were you especially if you're going to have all that hassle with bringing it out with you.

You could always consider purchasing one of those snazzy phone cases with the chain and handcuff so you can attach it to your wrist.

The only thing with the hancuff is that it may signal that you have something more valuable in your pocket and encourage someone to borrow your iphone on you.

oscarb

Ah sure you may only run the risk of someone disconnecting one's wrist from the body and then the iPhone is away.

Maybe best to avoid the iPhone in the first place methinks.

I generally leave my house naked. So I dont have anywhere to put my iPhone. You see my clothes and shoes are "not worth losing"

"Some people I just don't know"

same here...if someone tries to take my phone I stick it between my cheeks and swing my c0ck at em screaming "stay back or you'll get it"!!!

Jakmeehan

There's some pretty wild imagination going on here

Silverfish

Considering I've dropped two iPhone 4's down the toilet, I don't think it's safe to bring them inside either.

But that happened indoors, unless you have outside toilets!

I just got my iPhone 4 last week so I got a cheap 9 euro samsung phone for when I am going on a night out cause knowing me I'll lose it when I'm legless

Now that actually makes sense......apart from losing I have seen lots of smashed screens from people who drop phone during a Drink Dial Session.

Also, this is the funniest thread I've ever seen on Apple Media Devices Board.....I wonder if OP is just winding us up!

Skerries

Fúck your iPhone 4, i've a Nokia outside!

evad_lhorg

I have a friend who doesnt bring it out on nights out. But saying that when he gets pissed he likes to throw his phones when he has arguments with his bird or whatever. Hilarious seeing a phone smash into bits but theyre usually crappy phones that will just go back together fine. So for him it makes sense.

I have no problem taking it out on the street or whatever. I haven't heard a phone being swiped out of someones hand story in about 10 years. All the knackers have phones now. thats the difference

i keep mine in a safe deposit box at my local bank.

twinsen

Yeah,you should keep at home, don't useit , actually keep it in a box , just in case.

Tallon

I don't work anymore myself, I just stay at home

I'm terrified of losing myself

finnegan2010

Your all mad it seems. Some of you have actually opened the box it came in and pressed the on button! Dont you know even powering up the Iphone can have disasterous consequences?
Mine is kept safely in its box on the page in argos where i first saw it. Never had any problems YET, touch wood:cool:

i just ordered and paid for an Ipad from the apple store but i requested they never deliver it to me , for fear it gets lost on the way.

Dr. Jonathan Crane

Having had my old phone stolen from me during the summer by a knife weilding scumbag in Stephens Green at 6 in the evening, I'm quite cautious.

If leaving my girlfriend to Busaras for her bus home, I'll just take my sisters old pink sony erricson since it's not the best area to be around in the evenings. Same goes for gigs. Otherwise, if I'm just about with friends, I have it on me 'til I'm asked the time :rolleyes:

i pay a local security firm to provide two bouncers to escort me everytime i go out drinking in town.

they ensure no one comes near me when i make or take a call from my iphone.

they also hold crowds back when i take a photo from my iphone.

they both wear those ear pieces in their ear and i'm sure they're listening to my calls but for the peace of mind its worth it.


:pac:

Be careful, one day you'll meet someone who wants it.

I also have a few attack dogs guarding it with a moat filled with sharks that have lasers attached to their heads.

Which lasers muffin? The red dot ones that have many comical uses such as pointing it in peoples eyes or on the back of the head of the bus driver? Or the other lasers that cut through things like the one used in James Bond?

The James Bond kind. :pac:

I would like to state officially that I do not own an iPhone 4. No matter what rumor you hear I don't own one. No point in robbing me or breaking into my house. I am typing this in the local library as I don't own a PC or a laptop either.

Fat_Fingers

Moderator where are you when we need you. Pronto get this thread over to After Hours.

Vim Fuego

I have a dual iPhone/gun holster so I can show off my fashionable consumer electronic device but also let the local undesirables know I am packing serious heat in case they get any ideas.

However, I am also a cautious man OP; if I sense serious danger in the air, I place my iPhone in a condom and swallow it for retrieval later on.

I bring mine out all the time with no problems. maybe my protective case has something to do with it..

Has it got a picture of Jack Bauer or Chuck Norris on it?

I think it might be best to forget about the iPhone and consider getting yourself some pigeons.

Would have been very handy in this unfortunate case. A cautionary tale.

It's a mobile phone. That doesn't mean you use it in a caravan.
