You know you love yo-yos so very, very much when you are walking down the stairs and drop your new yoyo and your iPad at the same time…and you save your yoyo from a future of dinged, scuffed, vibey existence and NOT the iPad! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/1/c91f373ad16587fea5327bfb5ccd4e525b4c9e23.jpeg) ---

> [@YoYoFactoryFreak](#): > > Holy carpfish… Did you whack it with a sledgehammer? > Does it still work? nah, it fell or more so plummeted down the stairs like a freaking rock…hitting every single step on every single corner of the ipad. funny thing is it didn’t actually shatter until the very bottom. it still works but the glass sort of falls out everywhere now. ---

> [@ccn411](#): > > Eh, they’re overrated anyways. So true! You can get the screen replaced for like 200 but that voids tour warranty (we did that to ours [im on it right now] when I dropped it, but now the screen randomly spazzes out so be careful who you choose if you get someone to do that) or get it replaced by Mac for 400. Probably would be better to get it replaced by Mac. Or you could get some yoyos… ---

I thought you might have saved the iPad so you could sell it for more money to buy new yoyos. And just wondering, what yoyo was it that you saved? ---

I was carrying my new Drop Bear in one hand and the iPad in the other when the dog tripped me on the stairs and everything just sort of went to he!! after that. But it could have been worse, I could have dropped my yoyo too! ---

I would have saved the iPad, haha. At least if the yoyo was all dinged up it would still work fine, just look a little beat up. ---

Funny thing is that it was totally reflexive…they both went flying as if in slow motion and my hand shot out and saved the yoyo as I watched the iPad’s swift demise ---
