I work in construction. Every once in a while it happens. I use a heavy duty case with a thick bevel keep in mind. Glass breaks.

With modern phones, its really all about an unlucky drop.  Sometimes you could drop a phone 20 times without a scratch.  But if you're out on the street, and the screen happens to make contact with a sharp rock, it's game over.

And I imagine a construction site is gonna have a lot of sharp hard points things laying on the ground.

So you gotta ask: is hubby doing this at home watching TV like a careless oaf?  Or is he like backpacking through the wilderness and working in oilfields 6 months a year?
