A SKYDIVER dropped his iPhone while at 10,000ft — and was stunned to then find it without a scratch.

Footage shows the device fall from Casey Flay’s pocket as he leapt out of a plane for a training session.

It then hurtled to the ground — protected by just a £10 case — as Casey, 27, sailed down in a wingsuit.

Engineer Casey said: “There’s not a scratch on it — it’s absolutely amazing.

“It landed in a pile of leaves that cushioned the impact.”

He had not even realised it was missing until he was back on terra firma and packing his kit away in Dunkeswell, Devon.

He was then able to use the Find My Phone app to trace it three miles away — with a half-hour trek into the woods to retrieve it.

Casey, who is training for the Wingsuit Flying Championships in August in the Czech Republic, went on: “It narrowly missed landing in a swamp.

“I was so lucky.

“It doesn’t make any sense but I’m so happy to have it back.

“My whole life’s on that phone, I use it for banking and everything.

“I’ll keep a closer eye on it in future.”

Apple does not specify how high a fall the iPhone can survive — but urges users to “handle with care”.
