    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?

      Once every 2-3 years maybe. Very rarely. I've never had a cracked screen (also not using any case or protectors).

      Exactly this. I don't understand the crack screen people but to each their own 😛

        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?

              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.
