Nah, I'd prefer to have a case I can swap once it becomes too damaged vs a phone chassis whose damage I have to live with until I buy a new phone. I'm trying to keep my phone for a long time, so the former is definitely better for my use case.

    there's no preventing us from having thinner cases and thicker phones for such scenarios (and is probably the route i'd want to take, too, since i'm extra clumsy)

    This is a good idea. I've had to learn how to disassemble and fix phones for the wife mostly and me leastly. She broke a camera glass - and a glass coated back plate. My issues were battery replacement and a USB port replacement and one headphone jack replacement. All things I managed to learn how to fix to keep our 5 to 7 year old phones going until we were damned ready to get a new one. Durability is crap for a reason.
