A friend of mine bought several google pixels and, the firts time they slipped from her pocket, their screen completely broke, even if they had a cover and a screen protector, and this happened with three models. So, how's your experience and how I can prevent my pixels from breaking? Thanks for the eventual responses, and I'm sorry if this post is written with bad english, I just hope that the question is clear.

One of the reason I got a pixel is that you can get OEM repair parts (including adhesive!) staright from ifixit, no IEMI needed (such technology is simply out of reach for the like of apple):

You can get all the genuine part even for pixel 3, which is 5 years old and no longer supported (newer pixel phone is supported for at least 5 years, older phone are not supported because qualcomm no longer supports the SOC IIRC).
