The point of the drop test I posted was to illustrate how good the build quality of the iPhone 5 is, without a shell attached to it. The 4s also had a really good build quality.  Compared to most every other phones out there that are mostly made of cheap plastic and nothing else.

All you have to do is look at the iPhone 5 and see that it has a higher build quality than the S III, which is mostly plastic. The only company making phones with the same build quality as Apple is Nokia.

I don't need to drive a Mercedes into a brick wall to see that it has a higher build quality than a Ford Mustang, just looking at the thing and sitting it in will tell me that much. The Mustang might be just as fast around a race track but there's a reason it's 2/3rds the price (and it's more than just logo surcharge). Quality components cost money and the iPhone's aluminum & glass frame is more expensive than plastic.

Yes, but you have to show that kind of thing to all the nay sayers who are eager to jump on the hate wagon.
