How often do you break your phone?

Question

I broke mine when I was in Washington DC last week. That brings me up to an average of breaking a phone every 10 months.

When I bought my iPhone 7 Plus, it was Apple Inc's latest & best, my strategy was to get the best to avoid buying a replacement for YEARS, so I got the iPhone 7 Plus with the most space. That cost almost $1,000. Do you really think I'll let my $1k phone break‽

Hell no！！！ I bought it the toughest case I could find and always mind where it is.

I've enjoyed it for almost 2yr.'s now and I'm not letting its life get cut short.

Since 2011, I have had I think 6 phones. My first one I dropped out of my pocket getting out of the car and smashed the screen. The one before this one I also dropped but by about 4 inches from the ground and it slid, leaving a large scratch across the screen. So in the span of 8 years, I broke one and damaged another.

Not too shabby.

I have had a total of 6 phones, since I was 8 to now 23. Only broke my 5th phone two summers ago, the screen cracked and went all black. The rest of my phones were not broken, just too old. My current phone works fine, it only has one superficial scratch that doesn't affect any functionality.

Always breaking phones. Gotta new phone almost every year

DanishSaint · Answer

Haha, I wish I only did it every 10 months...
so far 5 phones have been send to mobile heaven on my account. Hm... Since its on my account, switch mobile heaven for hell. That's probably more accurate.
In fairness, I have two phones, so one might argue, that my number should be divided by 2.

Never. I use an Otterbox defender case that makes it look fugly, but near invincible.

If you have screen protector, a thick silicone bumper case, a hip pouch, and you don't throw your phone it will never get broken

I'm on my second phone, and I wouldn't say I /broke/ my first one. It just kinda... slowly died. Although i did put a diagonal crack down the full length of its screen about a year and a half before that

I’ve never broken a phone in the 5 years I’ve owned them

menina · Answer

That only happened once. My mother had an argument with my father over the phone and she was so angry that she threw it to the ground. It ruined my night 😕

Unit1 · Answer

Practically never.
I bought a simple cellphone around 2012 for myself and then I bought a new flagship smartphone in 2017 (upgraded from the old one), got it covered in a case and a screen protector. Still works. I can even replace the battery if I wanted to.

No iPhones :P

The phone I'm using is the only smartphone i ever had and I've not broken it yet.  I've broken my mum's phone 2 years ago and it was very brutal.

I have Cricket LG Stylo 2. Only thing that happened to it is some scrapes on the back side, tiny too. Besides that, dropped before rarely, and survived, given I always have at least a cheap case and glass screen protector on it and it came with gorilla glass. It's from 2016 too and a hand me down, like my last two phones. Has lasted decent considering how old it is and I am that rare person who actually has a stylus with my phone still.

Very rarely do any of the phones I've owned get damaged.  That doesn't mean I haven't ever dropped at least one of them.

ghostqueen · Answer

I've only cracked the back of the one I have now because I had to wait 2 weeks for the case to arrive. I've never had a broken phone before that.

Texaskid1 · Answer

I have had the same smart phone for three years and dropped it no less than 15 times over the years on hard surfaces. It has yet to even crack.

WolfsRoze · Answer

I've never broke a phone up until recently, then I keep buying these cheep phones and they are good but the glass is not tempered so breaks in your hands or pockets... Bought 3 $50 phones now, can't stand cracks or missing glass bits
