Once a week?! Damn what are you doing with it. I think I have this phone for like a year now and I only "dropped" it once. And that wasn't even a drop, I was just holding it on a festival and some dude hit my phone and launched it 10 meters across the dancefloor. Luckily the case and the floor made of flexible wooden planks saved my phone.
My previous phone was a bit more slippery and would sometimes escape when I was changing clothes or something. But even then not remotely close to weekly.
I'm just holding it and then all of the sudden my hands malfunction and the phone leaves my hand.

When I drop my phone, sometimes the back comes off and the battery falls out. Luckily the screen hasn't cracked yet.

I have a benign tremor in both hands. I drop it several times a week. Sometimes just to the floor, sometimes, when I try to catch it and make things worse it's catapulted through the room somehow.
Don't know what nokia uses for their screens but I have this phone for the years now, no screen protector but a thin case and no cracks or dents.

Probably multiple times a day.

The newer ones would be using Gorilla Glass Victus or Victus+ which is (supposedly) even tougher.
Smartphones are getting better and better, and the only downside is the lack of repairability.
I remember those early 2015-ish era phones where the screen was easily scratched. I love to see how far the tech has gotten.

I had a long period that I never did. I've became much less careless since and nowdays I'd say I drop it once every 2 to 3 months.

Since getting my first fragile smartphone (HTC Hero, 2009) I've zero phone drops on my soul. Guess the question is why drop phones? Daddy buys new one?

Shaky hands
Maybe anxiety
Maybe its a sign I'm about to die of undiagnosed health issues

Almost never and I've never cracked a screen.

Never. Why would you drop your phone?

[Deleted]
maybe once a month if even.
only phone I've ever catastrophically broken by drop is a Galaxy S20; curved screen edges are bad for durability. glad most phone manufacturers have axed it now.

I think I have dropped a phone either two or three times in the last fifteen years. But I still use a good case.
-
Once or twice every 4-5 years.
Same… once or twice per phone, always on carpet. I keep my phones 4-5 years.

I don't drop it but it does fall off things because I forgot it was there.

A theory:
If you have a naturally strong curvature to your fingers when your hand is relaxed, you rarely drop your phone.
If you dont, you drop it all the time.
There is no in between.
If you are a member of the latter group, try a pop socket.
My partner and I discovered this difference, and it has been validated many times in our friend group, at least. And a pop socket solved it for her.
