We save them in a box for when one of our DD's breaks hers ... I think the first 2 semesters at college went like this:
Lent fone to friend, friend tosses fone back and it hits concrete floor = 1 down
Visits Aunt for thanksgiving, places fone in Aunts large mixed drink = 2 down
Places fone under tire of jeep for traction in snow = 3 down
Laying in bed studying, falls asleep, fone falls off bed into cup of coffee = 4 down
Fone mysteriously stops working = 5 down
Fone losses ability to view text or ring, but can still call out = 6 down
Result: out of back up fones,purchased Track fone = embarrasment factor takes hold, DD works lifeguarding in summer and uses 1st weeks pay to buy new fone
3rd semester = no incidents reported
4th semester = fone partially melted in hot skillet full of dinner, still usuable
