Are you a manly man? Do you wish to test your iPhone case or at least understand the potential damage it can survive? No. You are not. That’s why this video exists.

The guys at iFixYouri took their frustrations out on the iPhone 4 and what they found chills the blood. The iPhone 4 survived three drops on concrete while the 3G and 3GS survived about 5. Regardless, it’s abundantly clear that the bumper case is insufficient for most iPhone protection needs and should be taken out back and shot.

I’m currently using some Case-Mate silicone cases, which work well enough. What have you guys found that works?
