I've never had a crash in my car either, I don't understand how anyone can - I think it's a symptom of having too much money /s

You never tripped? Slipped? Had a toddler run into you? Dropped as much as a glass? Are you actually a human?

Latest glass screen I've broken I did it while sleeping... fell asleep while reading reddit, woke up with the sound of the phone hitting ground. And that's one of the best outcomes I've had while falling asleep while using the phone. Worst ones have been sharing a link of whatever I was reading/watching to random people, liking random whatsapp statuses of people I didn't talk to since years and other similarly embarassing stuff. Maybe I should stop using a phone before bed.

I'm not clumsy at all, but pixel 7 is so slippery, that if you put it on a table/laptop with little aderence and maybe a bit of inclination, it can fell off. Meanwhile my older pixel 5 is the total opposite - it feels good in the hand and the grip is not slippery at all My even older pixel 3 is betweenn p5 and p7, it has a glass back but it's not that bad compared to p7. There are other advantages to plastic backs too: cheap, easy to replace, (usually) lighter compared to glass

I am pretty damn careful with my phones, and still managed to break 3 in the last 20 odd years (which I think is good going!) - one was knocked out my hands when someone bumped into me in the street, one slipped when I was showing a friend something, and my latest - I've no idea when the back glass smashed - it was in a case and one day when I cleaned the case I found the back was smashed.

I usually have both a screen protector and a case, but accidents happen.

I never did either until phones got too damn big. I also started dropping them after I had kids.

It might be possible that people live slightly more rugged lives than you do?

Sometimes things just fall out of your hand. You could be distracted by someone suddenly talking to you, bump into something, and lose your grip. Or have you never dropped a fork in your life either? Some people just get unlucky and it happens to their phones.

I've probably dropped mine at home 3 or 4 times, usually when trying to pick it up or set it down - but I got a nice soft case around it so nothing ever cracked. The real mystery is why people don't put a basic protective case on their expensive handheld devices.

And yet, people purchase new phones...some will be fashion-choices, some lost, most dropped. And then (for the last two) it's a rush to get a replacement. I regularly keep an eye on 'adequate' phones...just in case i fall in a river again and have to get a new-to-me one.

Don't have children who randomly pick up stuff from unexpected places I presume?
