Sometimes things that seem apparently small turn out to be big saviors and I realized this last week. I recently got an iPhone X and bought a cover for it too. One with a nifty spring stand to boot!

I found the Ghostek Rugged iPhone X Heavy Duty Case (Atomic Slim Series). I liked the stylish and slimline design to be enticing as it is – that gel like feel is amazing. However, I had no idea that the minimal design based case will be the savior of the device soon.

Last week, there was a party at our home. It was more of a friend’s reunion. I, along with a few college friends, decided to reunite at my place with some other people we know and touch basis once again. Not too many lies were told! Some female acquaintances were invited as well, of course!

I cooked some food and my friends were all going to contribute on that end of things. I am pretty good at barbecuing chicken so I engaged in that!

We gathered on the rooftop terrace and then I put on some music. We started with some crispy chicken wings and cocktails as appetizers! We got somewhat nostalgic recalling the weird and funny incidents of our academic years.

It was all going very fine until we were interrupted by a shrill noise from downstairs. I jumped up from my seat as it was the sound of the smoke alarm. Something could be wrong with one of my kitchen appliances.

In my hurry to get downstairs, I accidentally collided against the dining table on the edge of which the phone was kept after I was already downstairs and in my apartment. It flung across the room and smacked against the wall. At that moment checking the smoke alarm was critical; my phone issues could wait. Some smoke was emitting from my kitchen. I put that out and one of my friends helped me out who followed me down. Wow, I left a kitchen towel near the flame where I was boiling some corn on the cob.

My bad! Dam that! OK, that was taken care of. Moving on…..

I was scared that the impact might have broken the screen of my phone. But I was delighted to find it was in mint condition without even a dent on its body. Even my friends were amazed. The Ghostek cover has a fantastic armor that is resilient and shockproof – come to think about it, I am glad the wall did not have a dent in it. Sheetrock does not have a protective case on it!

The reunion was fun besides that and we will do it again in a couple of years!
