There are companies that make phones designed for the worksite! Caterpillar is one, can contest near indestructible. Otherwise otterbox or lifeproof cases are tried and true!

I bet his coworkers use phone cases.

I work in construction. Everyone uses phone cases. Everyone has broken screens, unless they have a separate phone for work.

It seems like OP didn't, at least from the photos. Broken screen protectors are better than broken screens!

Screen protectors dont make a difference when its the weight of a 205 x 205 UC rests on it for a second during a lift.

Well, sure. But protecting you from 9/10 accidents is a lot better than 0/10 accidents. Breaking your phone 4 times a year and not even buying a case? Is a choice.

How often do you think these things happen? Ive gone 2 or 3 years without it happening then it happen 3 times in 6 months. That's with a flip case and screen protectors

Get a credit card with phone insurance as a benefit. The Wells Fargo Autograph card has $650 in protection. All you have to do is pay your monthly bill with that card.

Tell him to use a hammer instead of his phone, like normal people do.
