    Default Students, iPhone At School and Theft- whats your take?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Im wondering if i should/would take my iphone, it'd be on me the whole day exept for phys'ed , then itd be in my gym locker.

    (Btw our gym locks suck, lol.. you know how sometimes with combination locks u just randomly pull em and they open), maybe?..idk.. i might take a key lock by myself to locker.

    -I told my freinds if i wouldent take my iphone to school , they said whats the point then, its a cellphone and school /afterschool is when u need a cellphone the most?..lol.. and they laughed and questioned if i would use the iphone as a phone at home?.

    IDK, do you take your iphone to school?..how do you protect against theft? and how do u think i should protect against theft?

    - Students Discuss ... :p

    Hi, I am a student too, but I'm pretty sure in Brazil things are a little different...
    I take my iPhone to school everyday, without any problems...
    I keep it in my pocket almost all the time, when it's not with me it's in my bag... I dont know about you, but I'm not afraid of being stolen, the only thing that really pisses me off at school is that almost everyone wants to ''look'' my phone, touch it, spend my money on EDGE and etc...

    To sum up, in my opinion you should take it to school, just be aware...

    Yeah, but how would i be aware if it was in my gym locker..

    i guess all i can do is buy a new more secure lock for my locker huh?

    and yea, it pisses me off too.. back when i had an Ipod touch every1 wanted to see it, or touch it.. it does get on your nerves a bit..

    I usually just take my iPhone to school when we have like half days and shit. So

    when theres a day that we dont have P.E. I take it. But If there is, then no.

    For safety of getting it lost, is not worrying about it. The more your worry the

    more you get constricted towards loosing it. So, just bring it and try to get your mind off
    it.

    My plan was to not tell anyone that I had an iPhone so no one would be specifically targeting me. Yeah, that didn't work, damn Apple hype . Long story short, you are like 100 times more likely to lose your iPhone and never get it back than you are to have it stolen.
