SquareTrade’s iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3 Drop Test, Dunk Test and Collision Test

The latest SquareTrade face-off video is here, and we pitted the Samsung Galaxy S3 vs. the iPhone 5. The theme was Household Trauma. We tested the phones when they were dropped in the driveway, went for a swim in the pool and when various household items were dropped on them. The result? Well, see for yourself!

We hope none of this ever happens to you. But if it does, regardless of whether your iPhone or Android … We’ve got you covered!

The New iPad vs. Nexus 7 Face-off

July 19 by squaretrade 3 Comments

These two devices took quite a beating in our latest face-off. First, they were dropped from chest-height. After that, the table-height slide-off and then the ultimate test: dunked in the bathtub.

So, how’d they do? You’ll just have to see for yourself.

Samsung Galaxy vs. iPhone 4S: Drop, Kid & Car Test

June 4 by squaretrade 1 Comment

We put the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 4S to the ultimate test: Drops, Kids and Cars.

 

Since accidental damage is so common, we dropped it from ear-height. Next, we had kids throw the phones in the air. And finally: flying off a car.

Which phone came out victorious? Just watch and see.

Psst…we warranty both the Galaxy S3 and the iPhone 4S.

New iPad vs. iPad 2 Drop Test

March 19 by squaretrade 1 Comment

We were so excited to get The new iPad delivered on Friday. Once we got it alone (there was a lot of swarming around it to see the new changes), we just had to…drop it. That’s right—we took it outside along with the iPad 2 to see if it was a little bit more resilient than our research showed. And what happened? See for yourself!
