I'm always up for a good improv. I do it , I love it; it's a grand hobby.

But I have to say: by the time most people are willing to bash apart (sacrifice) their cell phone, they are too far gone to perform all these clever tricks.

If you're in a pickle, you will use the basic tools that are ready-to-go. That is, basic and effective tools, in your pocket. There is no magical time-out while you cleverly improvise stuff out of other stuff. That's movie horse-**** In the real world, the clock is ticking.
