I think I drop it at least once a week. Never dropped it outdoors (yet)

    Do you drop it more often at certain times? One time I dropped a phone and thought I was clumsy so I took the case off. That helped me realize I was just careless cuz I never dropped it again. But if it’s the former that might not work for you.

    Daily, often numerous times a day. I like to juggle it when I walk, playing send me to heaven.

    Almost four years now, no cracks.

    A significant drop, maybe once every year or two. The first time I cracked the screen I resolved to always use those protective cover thingies, and they seem to work since I’ve never cracked the screen since.

    I don’t understand why so many people are saying they drop them so frequently. These are expensive pieces of hardware and it’s not hard to hold them securely.

      Idk maybe I watch too much LinusTechDropTips and it became contageous.

      Or maybe its because I have anxiety and I cant hold objects still.

    On my face in bed? Many times haha. Apart from that almost never. Have never cracked a screen or body of a phone, touch wood, in 20 years or whatever it has been of having smart phones.

    I’ve dropped a smartphone once several years ago. I think it was the Galaxy S5.
    First day, hadn’t put it in a case yet, dropped it, tried to catch it with my foot but ended up kicking it into the steel frame of a cubicle.
    The side dented but it survived.

    Before that, the last time I had dropped a phone was… a Motorola Razr that I dropped from a 28’ ladder and onto the sidewalk, no car or anything, worked fine and barely a scratch.

    Otherwise basically never.

    Daily, but it’s in a case and has a screen protector. Only has to last a few years anyway and minor damage doesn’t prevent function is fine. The biggest scratch is under the case somehow, don’t really understand that.

    I drop it often on the carpet by my couch, but outside of that, a couple times a year at most. I’ve only ever had a hairline crack on one phone out of many over the years. I also don’t use a case or screen protector.

    Drop?

    Drop it onto a chair (soft lazy boy style chair) a couple times a week.

    Drop it in a floor or ground? 2 times a year. Maybe less.
