I've owned about ten smartphones at this point and I've saved them all over the years.
Never cracked one and I still use my old devices once in a while for fun or for a project. And I'm not easy with my devices, I take them to work on construction jobs, have them in my pocket all day while working and set them down with all my tools. I'm careful enough and over the years, I've never lost a phone.
My wife is not as active as me and doesn't do much physical work .... but for whatever reason, she's broken two phones ... one while in her jacket pocket that flopped out and got bent in half and crushed with a car door.
It might be your wife, but it might also be ladies clothing that is to blame. As guys we get nice big jean pockets to keep our phones in, ladies just get tiny useless pockets if they even exist, which is why the phone is in the jacket pocket instead, and way less secure than jeans because the opening is likely at the side, not the top.
My dad used to keep his phone in his chest pocket on his shirt, and lost it in water twice. Once leaning over the toilet and it dropped in, the other leaning over a lake when he was fishing. RIP.
Where you store your phone when not in use makes a big difference lol.
You're probably right. I stopped keeping anything in my pants pockets years ago and haven't broken a phone or lost a wallet ever since.
i remember back in school a lot of girls would keep their phones in their BACK pockets, which of course on women's pants can fit slightly more than half of the phone. i wonder why they all had cracked screens..
adding onto this is the modern insistence on phones being high-tech glass panes, and them sorta being a piece of jewelry so god forbid you put on a proper rubbery case that actually protects it.
I don't know how I went so long without breaking a screen. Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5s across 4 or 5 years, scuffed edges but never the screen.
It was the galaxy S7 that finally went. I swear I dropped it a foot or less while sitting down in my car. From coat pocket into the console gap. Not out even out the door, and that had happened before without breaking. I was so mad that that was what did it.
I didn't even use a case religiously until the S7! I blame the obsession with all glass phones.
