That stinks!

No, I haven't had that happen.  But, I did simultaneously break a computer and my foot at same time (computer dropped 1 floor onto my foot.  That wasn't fun.  But, I had insurance on the computer, so they fixed for free.  No insurance on the foot, though.

That is why I have an Otterbox cover for my phone. The case is a little bulky, but it has saved my phone from peril MANY times!

Sorry to hear of your bad luck. Hopefully, it won't happen a 3rd time since sometimes things happen in 3s.

Breaking my iPhone was quite traumatic for me. Having it go through an entire wash cycle. I can attest that it will die. I'm so sorry for you as I can't imagine having to go through that plus my laptop. Definitely puts everything into perspective.

Oh no!  Two in one day is too much!  It was bad enough when I dropped my iPhone into the toilet on one day and then months later made gave my Mac book a squeeze that cracked the screen!  Luckily I had the protection plan on both of them.

Both are honorable ends to useful devices.

But, at this very moment I have two Surface Book being setup ..by me...to always make sure I have a B and C plan.

The bad part is I hate replacing things that are not BROKE!!! Arghhhh.

Have fun quizzing those genius' with the keys. My history has been the buyer will need to figure it out.
