The chip itself is so tiny you have to hold it an inch from your face at an angle to notice it.  I was disappointed at first, but at this point, it's a big deal.  Unless I specifically look for it, I don't notice it.  That particular fall on concrete was far more violent than what happened to her phone.  The only difference, I think, was the case.Incidentally, I still haven't figured out how to get the dog to stop barking at other dogs when leashed.  If we're at an off leash dog park, or in the house and a visitor comes over, it's a different story.   All happy wagging tail and face licks.  But that's seriously off topic at this point.Banshee</blockquote>
