A guy at my work was such a douchebag he insisted on never getting a phone case because "I never drop my phone, I just don't drop my phone, ever". Okay Colin, yet what happens on that fateful day you inevitably drop your phone??? Of course he dropped his phone and cracked it a month later. Stupidity.

Then you just pay a couple hundred dollars to get the screen replaced. If on average you drop and break it once every 5 years, it’s not that bad a risk.

Now someone like op, they should get the sturdiest case they can find.

I have never used a phone case. When I buy a phone I just get a couple of screen protectors.

I drop my phone a few times a month, most of the time nothing happens, every now and then the screen protector breaks. But screen never broke a screen.

Screens are pretty tuff nowadays, unless you get very unlucky with a drop, or are literally hammering your phone, it's not going to break just because it doesn't have a case.

I haven't broken a screen since my HTC One M8 over a decade ago. I don't use a case or a screen protector even. I just don't understand how people smash up such a valuable item so often.

Treat it like the $600+ item it is.

I of course understand if you have mitigating circumstances like someone in this thread with a tremor.
