Just 1 time. I'm normally pretty protective of them

Last phone I had 3+ years but it got to the point where the battery wasnt worth a shit

Well, a riding mower is a game ender. I have broken many, mostly just screens by rolling on my side while working on something on the ground (car, airplane parts or honey do list shit) I have a bad habit of leaving them on my lap when driving. I forget them when I get out and send them falling onto the ground

I was on the phone when I walked around the back of the truck and got the hitch to the shin. Stopped me dead in my tracks and the phone when flying about 6 feet before hitting the concrete and sliding another 15 foot across the garage into the wall. It cracked the corner of the screen and messed up the speaker. It is the only phone I have ever broke.

My wife had a similar incident at a Chiefs tailgate with her phone in the opened trunk of our car. :shake:

As for me, only 1. Years ago when I first got my Samsung Galaxy S3 and brought it home I had it on the armrest of my recliner. It fell off onto the wood floor (maybe a couple of feet) and the screen cracked. I had only had it for a couple of hours. :banghead: I hadn't had a chance to get a case because I didn't care to buy from the mall sellers.

Otterbox cases are quality, but there are others now that do a good job of protecting your phone. I have had Otterbox, Ballistic, and my current one is a Spigen.

Not surprising at all. I kind of always knew this.

ROFL

Doesn't that suck? ROFL And then your pantleg is full of grease.

As the screens get bigger it seems they are easier to **** up. The tempered glass protector has saved a few. First time I used the protector I was pissed because it looked like a crack. I left it on and dropped my phone again cracking it more. When I was getting ready to replace my phone I was taking the stuff off and woah... I didn’t have a cracked screen. I was stoked. That was a long time ago on an iPhone 5s. At a grand a phone a little protection goes a long way.

Many years ago I had one of those Nokia phones with the pull up antennae that were all the rage. I got sucked into buying a warranty.

Ffwd a little and the mic on the phone stops working out of the blue. I took it inside a us cellualr place to get it replaced under the warranty. The people at the desk argue with me and say the phone isn't "broken, it's just not working". They imply if the phone was physically broken it would have been replaced.

Weirdest thing happened in the parking lot. My phone accidentally fell off of the hood of my truck and was run over 3-4 times and then I accidentally stepped on it when I was looking for it.

I brought it back inside in a sandwich bag in several pieces.

The guy was furious and said it looked like it had been run over. Weird.

I did get a replacement phone sent to me. It was prob ably the oldest phone they had that wasn't attached to a bag.

The lesson here is that most warranties are a sham.

Left one laying on the tool box of my work truck and drove off. It was less than a week old...

Zero. I don't use a case either and now that Samsung insists on these stupid curved screens on every phone I don't even use a screen protector. I am careful with my phones.

I get hitches to the shin quite often when hauling ass across the shop and parking lot

I accidentally threw a guy's phone out my sunroof while running 98 headed north into harrisonville a couple years ago.

Looked at him and said oh shit it's gone. We slammed on the brakes and just as we were getting stopped it came flying back in and hit the flat screen on the radio. Neither the phone or the radio was hurt so we decided going to kc to party was what we were destined to do that night. So we hammered down.

Or much worse
