Would love some feedback on this copy for cell phone protectors

Barring all the spelling and grammar mistakes... (Early rough draft) I'd love some feedback I'm doing the copy for a friend and if anyone has any tweaks that would be great.
Thanks.

"I just wrecked my $400 dollar IPhone, and it's going to cost me
SEVEN-HUNDRED DOLLARS to Replace it?"
What?
Dear Friend,
I couldn't believe this when I heard it, but it's true. When you break your phone the phone company is not going to replace it...
...And they're going to make you pay full retail price. I didn't realize when I bought my first iPhone that I was getting a HUGE discount for signing that 2 year contract and now that I was stuck!
...and if I wanted a working iPhone I was going to have to pay!
FULL PRICE $700.00 ! ! !
It was so stupid, I didn't even break it, I don't want to point any fingers... and I hope she doesn't read this ... but ... it was my wife...
I know what you're thinking but it was my own fault, I asked her to hold it for me and she had it in her purse, but when it rang and she went to pull it out... she practically slid it across the parking lot as it slipped out of her hand... FACE DOWN!
I saw the whole thing in slow motion, it was like a scene from a movie, time slowed down, I felt my body cringe and my arms lunge toward the air-born phone while I tried in vain to stop the impending doom as a "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"... left my mouth.
... It slid more than 15ft!
<PIC>

I practically cried when I picked it up and I couldn't make out anything on the screen.

I felt like such an idiot because a week earlier I had taken it out of this huge case that I had it in, but I took it out only because it wouldn't fit in my pocket in this massive shell. I'm sure that it would have been fine, maybe it would have bounced right back into my wife's hands (doubtful, but my phone would've been fine.)
Shortly thereafter, and then after the shock of the cost of a new phone wore off I swore that I'd never take my phone out of the thick protective case again. Spending another $700 was out of the question so I'd just have to suck it up...
The big case drove me Crazy!!!
I kept thinking "why do I have an IPhone?" ... "I should just carry a brick around."
I had to find the answer!
I need to protect my phone and not let it get in the way of the functionality and still keep all the high end design Apple put into the phone that I paid so much for... twice!
I'll save you the odyssey I embarked on trying and testing every cheap piece of plastic they'll sell you, isn't even worth the trip to buy it, let alone the price. They say "this" will protect your phone, and they all fall short.
What is it going to take to protect the phone without keeping it in a half pound monstrosity they call a case, there has to be a way.
I'll make a list:
If you don't have ALL the following components to a protective covering it's not going to work
1. Strength (it needs to hold up to a slide across the parkinglot)
2. Adhesiveness (if it's going to come undone why bother)
3. Protection all around the phone (The screen is important but I don't want the back ruined either
4. Clarity (if I can't see through to the screen ... why bother)
5. Touch Screen Functionality (It's got to still work, as good as before)

....

Still a work in progress
