My phone is pretty sheltered and lives a quiet life. Although, it does frequently accompany me to the restroom. You learn quickly to never leave your phone unattended in the office.
Favorite case-mate story?
Shashi (our CEO) hitting himself in the eye with a foam dart and having to wear an eye patch.. he came back from the eye doctor and started a dart war the second he walked back in the door! Only funny because there was no serious damage. The pirate jokes lasted for days! Arrrrr!
