Murdered another phone.
This time it smacked the edge of a sewer grate at high speed. Missed going in by millimeters.
Ah, well. Maybe the company will stop providing me with phones (Grin)
Alternately, they’ll make me put it in an otter box full time, which does protect them, but it is, for cumbersomeness, like wearing a condom made of an actual 6 ply steel belted radial snow tire.
I did so well for fifteen years, then two in a month.
Speaking as someone who has actually snapped cell phones in half… twice now…. I order an Otterbox the day I order the new phone now. It’s the only way they will survive my lifestyle.
When I was around the keyboard monkeys all day I got all sorts of grief for using an older Motorola flip phone.
So one day I asked one of the monkeys to hand me his phone.
Fool did.
I pulled out a pitcher of water, dropped my phone in, and dialed it from his phone.
As my phone buzzed in circles around the bottom of the pitcher I held his iFruit over the water and asked how long he thought it would survive swimming with the Moto-piranhas.
Monkey went pale.
Sigh….
I still managed to kill that phone eventually. Plus side is the insurance on it provided me with another of the exact model.

Maybe you just need to epoxy a lanyard attachment to it?
I have thought about wearing it on a lanyard around my neck.
Gotta love the OtterBox even though it sets that neat, sleek, light iPhone back a couple of generations in size and weight.
I know what I have to do and where I have to do it, so I bought the OtterBox the day I ordered the iPhone.

Last flip I had worked till I ran over it with a truck. Still received calls after that as I did not know it was lost till my daughter called looking for me. Seems a local popo shop had it. Could not see the screen but you could use the key pad and send calls. Damn tough phone.
