SquareTrade says new 5c and 5s iPhones not as robust as previous models.

Anyone else see this article. SquareTrade did test on both of the new iPhones and the Samsung G4. They rated them on three categories including dunking, dropping; etc.

The two new iphones tested worse than past models and the G4 tested worst of all.

Here is the link to the article.

That news should make the Otterbox wallets a little fatter.

Hmm. I expected the 5C to score badly, but the 5S? Preposterous!

And, I would've wanted to rock a 5C caseless. Darn.

There are some tests on YouTube that show the 5c screen is easy to break at average drop height. The phone's asking price is ridiculous. Slapping the apple logo on a piece of plastic doesn't make it more durable.
