    One time, I had an iPod touch and its battery died, and I raged, and threw it across the room (like when I was 10 or 11 years old, or maybe even 8 or 9 years old, but I cant remember how old I was) and the glass around the home button was shattered
    With that same iPod, the screen got disconnected and I made it work again (probably when I was 11)
    Then later I decided to completely destroy it and to this day I don't even have a single piece of that iPod

    I have an iPhone 5s and of all natural and rage wear and tear and everyday life it is bent and it missing some glass on the back, and I have gone through many chargers, and I'm thinking of getting a mini usb to lightning adaptor to save money on chargers as i have quite a few mini usb cables laying around
    And speaking of chargers, I have a 9 watt wall charger that I use to charge my devices, such as my PSVITA

    I still have my original iPod 5th Generation + charger, iPod 4th Generation + charger, and iPod 2nd Generation + charger. You must be doing something to go through so many chargers o_O

    I also have a 5s, I love it. It is undamaged, which is always a plus.

    I gave all my charges to my little sister as she was always breaking hers ...
    But I still have my iPhone 4 with its charger, a lightning cable with no plastic around the wire and a braided lightning cable.

    Lightning cables must be the most non durable cables to exist. I have to hold mine in a very specific position for it to make data connection. The cables never been abused, its a 3rd party braided one admittedly but the previous owner used to chew through official ones even faster.... Whereas I have been using the same micro USB cable that came with my ZTE Blade, 4 or 5 years ago.

    The plastic became solid on mine, so it broke ... never carried it or bent it.

    I have my original charging cable for my iphone 5 nearly 3 years later. I use it every day.
    It's probably a matter of not treating my stuff like shit and positioning my phone so the cable doesn't have to bend at any unnatural angles near the plug to the phone. :|
    It's really not that difficult.
    Also, weeb iphone 5s kid, take care of your shit.

    I do tend to grab the charger buy the plug part of the cord when I go to unplug it, and it gets folded up when I take it with me when I go places and I sometimes have it pulled tight, but I try to take care of the chargers

    new user name for @147689

    I have yet to break a charging cable, but then again I don't stuff them in my pocket or pick a phone up my the cable. Honestly Apple's lightningbolt cable is too delicate, I've seen the little connector broken off in someone's phone.

    I have broken a few chargers because of micro usb. Generally its because my phone will be charging and vibrates causing it to slide of the desk, then when it hits the floor it would usually hit with the cable facing downwards bending the usb connector. Luckily the female side of the connector on my phone has been flawless. Same cant be said for the 3.5mm connector, it has been plugged and unplugged so many times that it no longer makes a solid connection.

    But i now use a 4 port charger so that if that ever happens i only break the cable and not the charger. This also meant i could use shorter cables so that the phone would no longer hit the floor. Also in my current accommodation the place where i charge my phone is flat, so it doesn't slide off anymore.

    Nah, the main quest's nothing. You haven't finished until you've explored every single location in the game.
    Amazing game indeed.

    Btw, if you liked Fallout 3 you're gonna love 4, it's just like Fo3 with better everything.

    I can't wait until Christmas...

    My main gifts I'm getting / hoping I get are Fanatec Clubsport V3's, a KUL ES-87, and a NASCAR diecast (I purchased this in June and it's expected to ship out on Christmas).

    I still use the 30-pin cable that came with my 2006 iPod Classic. It works flawlessly. What the hell, guys.
