So I was taking pictures of a praying mantis that was on my front steps. It started to take great interest in what I was doin and actually started lookin at the camera making way for some great shots. I had the autofocus all ready and I was all close into it tryin to hold my hand steady to take a shot when all of a sudden it leaped at the phone. Now mind you when you have an image of an enlarged(and very clear I might add) praying mantis on your screen jumping at you its very scary. As you probably guessed I reacted with my girlish(I'm a guy) reflexes and threw the phone. The screen is ok but the entire housing is scratched up. The chrome bezel has a big chip in each corner. Can I replace the housing with an oem one? Where can I find one?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! I'm sitting in Starbucks right now, and everyone is probably wondering why I'm smiling red faced to keep from laughing at my laptop.

I have to admit, it took whatever courage you might have to post this, thanks for admitting it. Why not post the pic you took just to add to the weight of the story?

[Alztybrn]

I would have really come up with a better story before you asked your question ...but thanks...That is a Great Story!

[dbpaddler]

you threw your phone at a little endangered mantis as opposed to trying to swat at it with your phone in hand?

[mike42]

best thread ever.

Hope you didn't injure the praying mantis! Gonna call the feds.

That is pretty funny man , lol , im sure it would have been an awsome picture !! , but oh well , atleast it didnt crack the screen . you have to look at the glass half full lol and if your with in your 30 days , which u are , go to verizon come up with some excuse that your phone isnt functioing right , and they will give u a new one

[nobodyhome]

[renny]

Gotta see the pics. I can't believe that a Praying Mantis would attack a phone. Must have been camera shy.

Probably this is the best post I've read in awhile. I admit, I laughed at loud. Although I'm sorry for your Berry. I remember seeing some parts here and there, but the selection seems sparse. Maybe you could hold off until more hit the market? Either that, or try ebay. Sometimes, you can find legit parts for cheaper than anywhere else. Just make sure it's from a decent seller.

lol this sounds freakin hysterical!!

[xliderider]

Till you can find the replacement parts, put a silicone skin case on her. It will cover up the bezel and case nicely.

You did not kill it did you? Because that...is a crime.
