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 Linus
TechDropTips and it became contageous.Or maybe its because I have anxiety and I cant hold objects still.

Maybe 2-3 times over the life of the phone.

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.

Almost never. I can only think of two or three times since my first iPhone 3gs.

Y'all are crazy. Very responsible. I drop my phone every single day. Often outside onto the concrete. I break my screen protectors all the time. I've only ever messed up an actual screen once (stupid like wrap around screen so the case was not sufficient). I buy extremely cheap cases and screen protectors, and they always work.
I'm clumsy, but also I guess thoughtless. I'm constantly bending over to pick up my kid and it just tumbles out of my pockets. Idk. The screen protectors last between one week and 6 months. Usually a couple of months, but then the cracks/chips are so little I just take ages to replace it, so I'm only buying one like twice a year. You can get 3 for under 10 bucks so it's basically worth the cost to not have to be precious about your phone all the time.

Lol. Thanks for replying, now I feel less bad for dropping my phone often

Once or twice every 4-5 years.
Honestly, it's the same for me. I'm a very careful person and when it does happen, I feel a spike of both surprise and panick

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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Most phones within the past few years should be using Gorilla Glass 5, which is very drop-resistant.
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.
