Honestly, modern phones are pretty durable and screen replacements are pretty cheap.
My complaint is that the glass backs are slippery as fuck. My iPhone was constantly sliding off of tables and shit until I bit the bullet and got a case for it.
I do not agree, owned like 3 phones all of them ending up in cracks, yes I am a clumsy person but I also work in a hangar where at one point my phone screen cracked due to carrying something.
If only modern phones would made out of proper shock resistant plastic, instead of bendy metal and brittle glass, we wouldn’t need extra case.
I’ve heard the glass is also quite bendy, compared to normal glass.
I managed to bend an iPad trying to pull it out of a case, can confirm it’s got some flex to it
The metal is okay, it’s the glass that’s the problem.
Depends on alloy, some are more brittle or prone to deformation than others
Ah, the good old days, when only the screen was glass.
I want a nice solid core of 1/4" plate steel for my phone’s structural skeleton. Wouldn’t that be cool?
Wrap the rest of the phone in shock proof plastic and glass screen.

Repairable phones are where it’s at.
Gotta get that time machine
I’m loving the fairphone.
Thanks to apple and it’s fanbase we don’t have that luxury
