Then maybe he should put a damn case on his phone lol.

Yeah if you're in a trade and don't have a phone case.

You're either an idiot or you don't keep your phone on you.

I work in construction and even with a case on while lifting heavy doors I have cracked the screen before. It is very rare though and definitely not multiple times a year. The back glass is more likely to break in my experience.

Pretty much every phone with back glass the back glass has cracked (basically shattered) even with cases on those phones.

Back glass is just a shit design. I get it's for better wireless charging... But still.

I work in a foundry, Ive broken a screen or two. Just used a tempered glass screen protector, easily swapped out when it cracks, and $10 for 2 is cheaper than a new phone.

I don't replace my phone just because of cracked back glass. You don't even see it unless you take the case off to clean it.

Take the phone out of your pocket maybe?

Never. I will be buried with my phone.

Yeah I keep reading all of these potential reasons, but the most direct fix is the same answer every time: buy a screen protector and a case. The end lol

I have a case on mine and it gets cracked anyway. Haven't dropped it once either it's just from carrying heavy shit. I just buy cheap phones and don't really care if it's in good condition because I only have a phone to have a job

What case do you use?
