“I found a phone sitting on the side of the road that had apparently fallen 16,000 feet,” Bates said in a video recorded for social media Sunday.

He said he was “a little skeptical” when he first found it, thinking perhaps it may have been tossed out of a passing vehicle. But the phone wasn’t locked, so he opened it up, he said.

“It was in airplane mode with a travel confirmation and baggage claim for Alaska 1282,” Bates said. “So, I had to go call the NTSB.”

        I have one called Beetle Defender and it’s been even better than the OtterBox cases I’ve had. The Otterbox’s silicone part would always get stretched out and become loose over time, with the flaps no longer closing or the corners coming off.

          I used to have a otterbox too, but I recently got a uag case and those are some of the most duarable cases ive ever used. The only problem is they are expensive.
