This is the iPhone case that survived a 16,000-foot drop from Alaska Airlines — The $65 Spigen Cryo Armor case that saved the day

IPhone after plummeting from a plane.

A week ago, we heard about the iPhone that survived a 16,000-foot drop from a flight, and now we know how it managed this feat. The phone had taken a plummet because the door on the Alaska Airlines flight ASA1282 flight tore off. The flight landed back safely with no casualties, and one iPhone flung out to tell the tale.

The iPhone, it turns out, had a Spigen case on. The $65 Spigen Cryo Armor protected the phone from taking catastrophic damage, it appears. The company tweeted that the phone was found with their case on it, according to the owner of the phone.
