The tale of my shattered iPhone

Posted at 12:43 am | 83 comments

This is a sad sad tale of my shattered iPhone and how it was brought back to life. Please watch and enjoy.. and remember, your iPhone is a fragile being.

A few people were already asking how I shot this and what I used. Well, I was all alone using my Canon SD850 for video and this wonderful joby gorilla pod attached to trees and random objects.

..and the camera that took this photo of my camera is the Nikon D90

Last but not least, thanks to Dana for helping my iPhone back to good health!

Good to see that you’ve got a replacement! I dropped my iPhone today and I’m glad the glass didn’t shatter like yours.

brad on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

That was cute! It made me smile.

Wow - your Canon shoots some pretty sweet video!

Laya on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

I LOVE IT! :]

Zobi on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Haha nice video.
Congrats on getting an uncracked iphone! This was pretty amusing but ohh what a waste of wal-profen and lozenges!! And how many times did you get stopped while making this video? I saw your tweet about people asking what you were up to.. that’s pretty funny =D

Michelle on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Tick tock… waiting for the Viddler version to skip on over from TubeMogul.

Derek Jay Steen on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

seventysangel on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

You make simply amazing videos, Justine. That’s all there is to it! (btw, I’m very happy for your iphone!)

KathleenLD on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Lol when you come out of the store people behind you are like WTF.

“back the F:\ up” ha

Nick Ayre on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Sad Story. Glad you got a replacement!

David on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

haha awwwwww! that videos soooo good =D

bobbyb on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Glad to see i is feeling better!

Warren Karben on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

I’VE SO BEEN TO THAT WAL-GREENS!
I mean RIP iPhone 2008-2008.

RV510 on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Haha, cool vid Justine.

Did you notice you are holding your new iphone while holding up your sunglasses (@0:17) after you showed your broken iphone?

Anyways awesome shots and edits, and amazing soundtrack and vid quality, never though digital cameras took that good of quality, then again I never use that feature… Also at the end I can see why you tweeted people looking at you strange because it is not often they see someone jumping out of a apple store with an iphone in hand.

Where did you get the music from?

Jeff on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Oh, and I WON one of those shirts

RV510 on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

You really need to start adding closed captioning to this video

Tim on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Great video! What is the music?

Mickey on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Yay! Happy Justine!

chris on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

I have got to get out and shoot some fun content, I get stuck doing weddings…

Wow! Awesome video Justine! I hope your iPhone feels a little bit better..

Daynah on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

How sad would it be if she dropped the new one from jumping up and down like that lol

Chris on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

YAY!!!!!!! iJustine is whole again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great video!!!!!!!!!!!!! love the music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

iMike on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

I can’t imagine what the people walking by seeing you pour cough drops and medicine onto your bandaged iPhone were thinking…

echoskope on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

EPIC video Justine!!!! I’m glad I got to restore iPhone 3G back to health, even though you did most of the work for me. =)

danajc on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

whitney on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

iCarluccio on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Welcome to the “iBrokeMyiPhone” club. After I broke mine I tried using it & got glass in my finger. Ouch. Glad you’ve been restored to good health!

Michelle on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

I Just bought the TriPod.
I Love it!

iCarluccio on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

virtual_J on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Maybe it’s time to use a silicone case on your iPhone!

iNick on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

OH THANK GOODNESS! Once with an iPhone, always with an iPhone! I am glad to hear Steve is not coming after you with a razor sharp MacBook Air to kill you now!

Léon on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

how come there’s an iphone in your hand at 16 seconds??? lol

Mr Poodle on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

i love it at around 2:21 when your jumping and the guy in the black tux looks at you like your crazy

Dalton on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

I laughed so hard I cried….!

Jonathan Broskey on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Your iPhone is a druggy!
It ODed on organic cough-drops and wal-profen.
Oh what a world.
My iPhone has the same problem.

Sardar Mohkim Khan on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

-Adam

Adam on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

spot

gary golembroski on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

You’re lucky!

Why you got a new one for free?
I know the answer

Because you make publicity for Apple Products

YAYYYY !!!
Take care of your new iPhone 3G!

Tum.

Tumiih on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

WooHoooo- shes happy again!
Great video!
Love your stuff.

Spoiled Mommy on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

that’s what you get so now get a real smartphone which is Windows Mobile 6.1 LOL that can do more than Iphone.

tom on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

The YouTube-link doesn’t work anymore!

Stefan on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Justine,

Please use a case with your new iPhone. I know that they are nice and shiny, but I put a case on mine before I left the store and have no plans of taking it off.

Cheers,
Jake

Jacob Burke on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Is this on Viddler yet? I want to mark it as a fave.

Daynah on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

I think you just break your iphone in purpose because iphone you was probably defected and wanted to get a new one. LOL… Oh blond women are so pinkish ha ha ha

tom on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

That was classic. Doubly impressive for a solo effort.

maczter on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

I <3 ya Justine, but you gotta work on the editing skills. after you “drop” the phone, you can see another iPhone in your hand when you pull up your sunglasses. nice try though! still <3 you!!!!!!

Jen on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

I’m still waiting for it to be up on Viddler…

Derek Jay Steen on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Good stuff… and a good reminder to continue handling my iPhone with kid gloves. Glad you got a replacement… iPhones Rock! Great music too!

jason on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Glad you got your new iPhone… err, I mean glad you could get your iPhone feeling better with all the Walgreen’s products.

If only it were really possible to patch it up like that.

Fun video - I got a kick out of it!

- Doc

iGoByDoc on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

amen to Tim, When are you going to add closed captioning to your videos?

Louis on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

How did you get a replacement exactly? Did you just pay full retail fo ra new one?

sygyzy on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

omg can i have your broken iPhone. I am on dumpy verizon and my parents wont get me one. I saved up all summer to get a macbook last year, but still no iphone. It would totally fit my shattered dreams of getting the glorious apple product. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or did you recycle it?

Brad on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

ha… i like it! =P

good background music 2!!!

david marshall on Nov 14th 2008 at 12:43 am

Which Joby GP is that though? The 24 dollar one, or the one that is almost 40 dollars? I also notice one that is over 100! Did you have to order it online, or did you buy it at a retail store? I’d love a pink one like that! Very nice!!

Lisa Lee on Nov 15th 2008 at 12:43 am

So it’s bothers some people that they saw the new iPhone, but those same people are ok with the idea that a cough lozenge fixed the iPhone?

Anyway, love the whole thing.

MikeBurek on Nov 15th 2008 at 12:43 am

Justine, not gonna lie, I choked on my soda (no, I did not just make a typo that said “sofa”, thanks) when I saw you dump the ibuprofen on your iPhone.

Mark Vaughn (Justine’s biggest fan. No lie.)

Mark Vaughn on Nov 15th 2008 at 12:43 am

Haha, cool video! Nice direction btw. ;D
When I saw the shattered iPhone. Wow. I don’t want my iPhone to get through this.
That’s why I put it in a case. That’s it:

Do you have a myspace profile, Justine?

Nick on Nov 15th 2008 at 12:43 am

@ijustine: well, it was a good video, so i guess i’ts kinda ok. haha!!

Nicolas on Nov 15th 2008 at 12:43 am

Iphone is a waste because they lack the features included. Iphone cant even do a simple copy and paste? most windows mobile smartphones can do that since 7yrs ago LOL… I am glad I am using the powerful HTC Touch Pro has it blows Iphone 3G anytime…

tom on Nov 15th 2008 at 12:43 am

She should of got iPhone insurance from iCover at http://www.icoverpro.com
The insurance is only $35 per year

jason on Nov 15th 2008 at 12:43 am

Look at the people’s faces in the background towards the end.

Wesley on Nov 15th 2008 at 12:43 am

That video was one of my favorites ever!!!

Nate on Nov 24th 2008 at 12:43 am

I just dropped mine this morning and I thought of your tale of a shattered iPhone. They gave me a kinda refurb one? how did it work for you when you went?
