I think I drop it at least once a week. Never dropped it outdoors (yet)

A theory:
If you have a naturally strong curvature to your fingers when your hand is relaxed, you rarely drop your phone.
If you dont, you drop it all the time.
There is no in between.
If you are a member of the latter group, try a pop socket.
My partner and I discovered this difference, and it has been validated many times in our friend group, at least. And a pop socket solved it for her.
I don’t drop it but it does fall off things because I forgot it was there.
Once or twice every 4-5 years.
Honestly, it’s the same for me. I’m a very careful person and when it does happen, I feel a spike of both surprise and panick
Same… once or twice per phone, always on carpet. I keep my phones 4-5 years.
This seems only specific, do you have a timer?
Y’all are crazy. Very responsible. I drop my phone every single day. Often outside onto the concrete. I break my screen protectors all the time. I’ve only ever messed up an actual screen once (stupid like wrap around screen so the case was not sufficient). I buy extremely cheap cases and screen protectors, and they always work.
I’m clumsy, but also I guess thoughtless. I’m constantly bending over to pick up my kid and it just tumbles out of my pockets. Idk. The screen protectors last between one week and 6 months. Usually a couple of months, but then the cracks/chips are so little I just take ages to replace it, so I’m only buying one like twice a year. You can get 3 for under 10 bucks so it’s basically worth the cost to not have to be precious about your phone all the time.
I drop my phone every single day.
Lol. Thanks for replying, now I feel less bad for dropping my phone often 😅
Once every 2-3 years maybe. Very rarely. I’ve never had a cracked screen (also not using any case or protectors).
Exactly this. I don’t understand the crack screen people but to each their own :p
All the time, this is why the only phone cases I trust are otterbox.
Two to three times a year.
Daily, often numerous times a day. I like to juggle it when I walk, playing send me to heaven.
Almost four years now, no cracks.
Probably weekly, I’m super clumsy
Probably multiple times a day.
A significant drop, maybe once every year or two. The first time I cracked the screen I resolved to always use those protective cover thingies, and they seem to work since I’ve never cracked the screen since.
I don’t understand why so many people are saying they drop them so frequently. These are expensive pieces of hardware and it’s not hard to hold them securely.
Idk maybe I watch too much Linus
TechDropTips and it became contageous.Or maybe its because I have anxiety and I cant hold objects still.
A few times a year maybe, but I always use a case so it’s fine.
I think I have dropped a phone either two or three times in the last fifteen years. But I still use a good case.
I have a benign tremor in both hands. I drop it several times a week. Sometimes just to the floor, sometimes, when I try to catch it and make things worse it’s catapulted through the room somehow.
Don’t know what nokia uses for their screens but I have this phone for the years now, no screen protector but a thin case and no cracks or dents.
Most phones within the past few years should be using Gorilla Glass 5, which is very drop-resistant.
The newer ones would be using Gorilla Glass Victus or Victus+ which is (supposedly) even tougher.
Smartphones are getting better and better, and the only downside is the lack of repairability.
I remember those early 2015-ish era phones where the screen was easily scratched. I love to see how far the tech has gotten.
maybe once a month if even.
only phone I’ve ever catastrophically broken by drop is a Galaxy S20; curved screen edges are bad for durability. glad most phone manufacturers have axed it now.
