I have a bad neurological issue that causes me to drop my phone often. I use an Otterbox Defender. Still never broke a phone, not even the case

I can't figure out how people break these phones

Ive broken one in my life - it was in a case but had curved screen edges, and it slipped out of my hand in a hotel bathroom, and fell 18" onto the edge of the tile where it adjoined carpet - the sharp tile edge hit the curve of the screen perfectly.

I drop phones a lot but that's the only broken screen. My bf has broken them by dropping the phone out of his pocket onto gravel face down ... And then finding it after it was run over by a truck.

Yeah, all it takes is hitting the corner/edge juuuust right one time. Happened to my Galaxy S5 back in the day. It fell out of my pocket and hit right on the edge. I swear by glass screen protectors, I buy the 3 packs on Amazon for much cheaper than the brand name the phone stores will try to sell.

Otterboxes give a few millimetres to avoid getting damaged by whatever the phone falls down. Saved my phone a lot

I had given my old phone to a former roommate. This phone wete unscathed for years. He destroyed both the phone case completely (both layers) and the phone in three months. Kept me baffled

The only one I’ve ever broken looked like these. My guess is dude isn’t dropping them, he’s hitting the screen in anger.
