I have a protective shell with a screen protector. Is that the same thing?
My sons had smart phones before I did and they dropped and cracked them more than once. I have dropped this phone a couple of times with no problems.

Maybe that will be their next idea. :)


I don't think they are serious enough.

Twice two gadgets have slipped out of my pocket and just dissapeared in a plopp,

first one was an on-call gadget I leaned over the side and, plopp, gone.

second was one of these modern touch things, slipped out of my pocket and under the engine, finito.

Also a third was clearly not fire resistent, went up in smoke when the boat burned down.

Life can be exciting, it's what you make it. haha.

i use a case i've dropped it many times. recommend a glass screen protector as well. I just recommend getting a phone case that is thin enough to still feel like you have a phone but not so thick you feel like you're going backwards in phone time

I have been using Otterbox Defender cases for my last several phones. I've dropped them plenty, and they never take any damage. I like having a holster style phone case, which is what the Defender is. The older Defender cases had a built-in screen protector, but the new ones don't. I opted for a quality screen protector from a kiosk at the mall, and it has been great protecting my screen.

Shortly after I got my iPhone 11 Pro Max (a few years ago), I took it on a trip with me to Florida. They tout the iPhone as being water resistant, so I took it out in the ocean with me. I didn't submerge it, but the waves were slapping against it. I got some great video of being out in the water, and the waves coming in.

The only problem I had with the phone afterward was some corrosion on the power connector slot, which caused the charge connection to be flaky. I cleaned the contacts with some alcohol and a small Q-tip (designed for cleaning contacts) and I never had an issue with it again. I've not taken it into any water since.

My friend, however, did not fare so well. He took his Samsung in the water and was dipping it underwater to take video. Shortly after his phone started getting really hot. His phone essentially cooked itself to death; the battery shorted out. He ended up having to replace his phone. He did get some neat video though, which he was able to extract from the phone before it died.

In the past I have when I bought top of the line phones. With this new 250 dollar phone, I don't care to protect it.

This time around I realized technology reached a point where a cheap smartphone more than enough meets my needs.

Waiting for the bus today at the time was alone because had just missed one,

no problem not in a hurry, so a young lady comes to the bus stop and asks me if I

could do her a favor?????

The poor soul had lost her phone, probably left it on the bus she got off,

she wanted me to help her talk to the driver of the next bus.

I told her just ask the driver to make a call on the com radio informing of mislaid telephone and it will go out to all buses.

But she was so very upset and she kept talking, poor soul I understood her predicament,

Through all her talking we had a couple of chuckles, hope she got her phone back .

Then came my bus so I wished her luck.

Now later on I realize I could have asked the driver of my bus to put out a call.

So I really bungled the situation, even so, really hope she got it back.

PS,
Most people pay on the bus with a phone.


So I was not on the ball at all.

Could have helped her much better.
