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.
