Did you have a cover on it?
If you didn't, are you KICKING yourself now that you didn't?
I use a sleeve cover because I hate all the stay-on-it-all-the-time covers. And no, I'm not kicking myself. I still hate normal covers. They feel awful and make the phone too bulky for my tiny hands.
Also, I doubt a case would have protected it from a face-down fall onto pavers that aren't level, which is the reason I had it on and was using it as a flashlight.
But thanks for the helpful post.
