It seems we all know someone who’s holding onto a busted-up and possibly duct-taped cell phone, waiting for a new model to release.
You might even know someone who broke their phone while skydiving.
If you’re one of those people, we want to hear from you. Take a photo or give a video demonstration of your phone that’s seen better days, and tell us what happened and why you’re holding on to it.
This assignment is now closed. iReporter Terry Balmer's story of near smart-phone destruction was featured here.
