So, because I got a new case from Innopocket (the old one had paint chipping), they want me to destroy my old one and send them pictures.

I'll comply, so I need destruction suggestions. Maybe some stress-tests or what not. Maybe a hammer. I can't run it over with a car because I don't want to blow a tire or anything.

Make this interesting...i'll do whatever will be the most appealing, while being safe :love:

Ooooh! Fire? Explosives? Caustic chemicals? The possibilities boggle the mind. I would go with video of destruction via this.

first time I've witness a company requesting things like that

usually I would have thought a customer just send the old one back ... learned something new everyday !

Why do they want you to destroy it? My case (I have the same one) has a bunch of chips, and I have a fully functional PPC for it. Their case TOTALLY rocks. I am extremely happy with it. I was not aware they have a 'no chip' warranty on their product.

Since it is made of magnesium, perhaps something related to fire would be rather spectacular?

Cheers,


Kemo

well, i told them i didn't want to send it back because i didn't want to leave my axim naked
and i got the axim/case used, so i didn't have the original invoice, and thus the odd request

anyways, the case is actually a magnesium alloy, so i don't think fire would be too interesting...
and i don't have any flame throwers or anything fun like that...haha.

Would my case be under their warranty if I bought it from a different site?

Now if you had completecare you could smash the case with the azim :D

Are you sure about this? I asked them to change my case because of paint chipping about a month ago, and the only picures they asked was to prove my case had a bad paint job.

They did not ask me to destry my old case. In fact, I intend to remove the flip cover from it and make a car mount with the main part.

exactly...my innopocket magnum has chips and scratches all over it....why don't you scratch off some of the black paint to reveal the magnesium underneath, and then put a flame to it...i am very curious if it will ignite like crazy!!

i'm expecting something like this hehe :
