In 2019 less than 10% of Americans were buying $1000 phones so you're probably with the majority still.
Also yeah I drop my phone a lot so I use a really sturdy phone case that's protected it 100% of the time. Obviously ruins the look though so why even bother with a fancy looking phone...
Lol, I buy garbage phones but no case. To each their own.
AFAIK I've destroyed one phone from dropping, and have had to replace one display.
i've been using a moto g5 for years and i drop it all the time, no phone case
to the point where it's become a bit of a joke among friends in class, since every time it drops it kind of spreads around, battery on one side, back cover to the other, volume button goes wherever, and like 1 or 2 people help me pick up the parts lmao
but the screen is still pristine, not a single scratch, not a single crack
i'm really sad it's becoming too slow even for normal daily shit, i doubt any current cell phone could take such a beating
