    Case + quality screen protector on day 1. For me its weird to hold a phone without a case. Especially some high-end device, which costs a fortune.

    That’s why I buy phones which are repairable and don’t shatter when you sneeze too violently.

      Any recommendations? I’m not in the market for a new phone, I’m just into repairable tech.

        Unfortunately only really two brands that I’m aware of, and they’re both not cheap:

        I had a Fairphone 3 before, now in use by my mum, and I’m currently on a SHIFT6mq.

        It’s possible that there’s cheaper repairable phones, and at the very least there are cheap robust phones, but the reason why I personally only consider these two viable, is good Custom ROM support.
        While there’s no guarantee, you usually get security updates for much longer with Custom ROMs, which you do want, if you plan on using that phone for a while.

    Most of mine that I’ve damaged also involved shattering me, with my breaks being worse. When do we get biotech with stem cells and caloric charges? Here you go little buddy, have a treat. Scroll smoothly now; you can really pay attention to the beeps and boops.

    It’s that still a problem? I have had the same not premium phone for 4 or 5 years, without a case or screen protector, and I drop this motherfucker all the time and the screen is fine. It has big crack on the back, though, but so do I.
