oh man your experience is so different from mine 😂

any phone i drop brings it a little closer to being completely non functional as long as it's not in a case.

but i do agree with you about one thing: it is all about aesthetic. there's tons of phones out there made with less shatterproof/scratch resistant glass, or think enough outer shells to protect their innards because when you buy a phone in a store you find the slim ones sexier
