    I mean, my mobile phone was like 350aud, has survived literally dozens of drops from 4ft+, on a variety of surfaces from carpet and lino to gravel, concrete and bitumen. Literally every function of the phone works fine and there’s no case, just a screen protector. It didn’t come with wireless charging so I don’t know how fragile that would be, but current phones are tough as shit.

    The chassis of my phone is dented and smashed in dozens of places and everything it could do new it can do now just the same, except for looking pretty.
