I’ve used phone without back glass before, best advice is to put a case on to avoid glass shards
Seems like it needed one of those all along
Mines been in a case sense I got it and my back glass is cracked to high Heaven last time I checked
What the hell do you people do with your phones? I have cellphones since the flip phone days and not once have I ever cracked a screen or back of a phone. It baffles me that it’s such a regular occurrence to some people.
You’ve been extremely lucky. The phone I’m using now is an 1phone 14pro max. It’s been in a Otter Box Deffender since I’ve had it. I took it out to clean and it had a tiny crack in the upper corner. It made me heart sick. I cleaned it and put the case back on it. I took it out to clean again and that tiny, almost unnoticeable crack has spread till the entire back is cracked. I’ve never dropped it or been rough with it. I have no idea why it still got cracked. I wish they’d stop using glass backs again. It’s idiotic in a sense. I also have the 15 pro max and I’ve seen a ton of videos that show the titanium getting so hot that it cracks the glass on the back. Titanium gets much hotter than aluminum. I live in fear of it being cracked too.
just dropped the hell outta my phone, i’m a fokin knucklehead
Have you really never dropped your phone? I’m beyond impressed lol. I have butter fingers + my cat deliberately yeets phones off of surfaces so even with a good case I’ve cracked some glass before. I miss my Nokia brick every day.
sometimes i drop mine..
alcohol and mind altering substances
a. women’s clothing usually don’t have pockets big enough so I end up physically holding on to mine when I’m walking/standing, carrying groceries, etc
b. I have freakishly small hands
I’ve seen leggings with pockets, probably specifically designed for cell phones.
Hence why she said “usually.” Leggings and very few pairs of jeans are the only female pants i’ve ever seen with big enough pockets for even an iPhone 12 Mini. I’d say excluding leggings, 95% percent of women’s pants don’t have big enough pockets. And only probably 60% of leggings have big enough pockets.
Usually to accommodate women will use purses… if I’m not mistaken 🤷🏽♂️
Sorry, I usually don’t carry a purse walking around my house, didn’t know that was so common 🤷🏽♀️
I broke the screen of my last android phone when I tried to push out a bubble while applying a screen protector.
Sometimes it‘s just bullshit.
My bed is lofted so I chuck it off most nights in my sleep due to high iron deficiency.
For years I use to use those “indestructible” cases. Even metal ones that screwed together. Broke my phone every single time. Now all I’m using is a think bumper case, where the plastic back had fell out. Dropped this bitch a hand full of times, no screen protector, and it only has these super small, barely noticeable hair scratchers bottom right of my screen. I’m never spending money on a tough case again.
yeah those super tough cases do nothing to distribute the force from the fall. It is tough, the case will never break. But instead the force goes straight into the phone through the case. Rubber cases are wear it’s at, if you can’t get a Otterbox or don’t like them, any rubber bumper case is better than any plastic or metal case because the rubber absorbs the force. Which is why they tend to bounce a little when they fall. With a metal case it wouldn’t bounce much at all, so you can even physically see the physics in the two types of cases.
