Do you get "posessive" when a friend, family member, or coworker asks you to use your phone?

Personally I hate it, my kid is always misplacing his phone, and he has lost several phones in the past year.

If anyone even tries to touch my GNex they will die a horrible death.

That's funny, my girlfriend calls my phone my "precious" all the time. I share it but only very occasionally and only with certain people, but not because I dont care what happens to it, but because letting other people see how awesome my phone is compared to theirs is worth the risk of a smudge or two :P

EDIT: I just realized I sound like a snobby Fruit fanboy. I just puked a little.

I don't let most people touch it unless I know them well enough and know they are responsible with their stuff. Even still I get a very nervous feeling haha.

I used to freak out about people messing with my stuff, especially my phones. But having a 6 and a 2 year old, I have learned that letting my 2 year watch Netflix, draw or play games when she is reaching the breaking point at a restaurant, has let me become less anal about my things.

Privacy though is another thing. I still do not like people going through my phone.

I let people see my phone, but just to show them how awesome it is.

I'd have a problem letting kids use a $600+ high-end electronics item. I’d rather get them their own cheaper device! Not to mention, I'd worry about them making changes to the device and possibly messing it up. But truthfully, for me if I had kids, I wouldn't pacify them in that way anyway (not judging your choice though ).

That's a good point about privacy. I have a PIN lock on mine (after 15 minutes of inactivity). But, once it's unlocked, they could access anything I could. No thanks! It's moot for me anyway; I can't get past the finger grease! LOL (I'm so anal I ensure my own hands are clean before touching the phone! )
