When you get a sleek new phone, and then immediately have to put it in an enormous bulky case, doubling its weight and size.

Plain phones approaching phablet size are outrageous. My old galaxy s7 was the perfect size, new phone's screen is as big as my whole-rear end old phone. Pretty much too big to use one handed.

When I ask someone if they'd like to hang out, but they aren't free, and then they start listing people they know that I might like to hang out with. It's super minor, but I wasn't just asking by going down a big list, I had a plan, and my next step isn't just to move one step down the list of my friends.

I don't use phone cases or screen protectors and it's never been an issue. A lot of people seem to look at their broken screen protectors and think "Wow, that saved my phones screen!" when in reality a broken screen protector doesn't mean you saved your phone's screen, it just means you broke a screen protector. I'm sure it will catch up to me eventually, but 10+ years of not having to deal with phone cases is worth one broken phone.

Eh when my phone takes a dive off of my work bench onto the concrete floor of the garage and the corner of the case breaks off with no damage to the phone itself, I have to assume it's sacrifice helped my phone somehow, like a crumple zone saving us squishy occupants.

Online forms that don't account for anything even slightly non-standard or unexpected and won't let you proceed without filling in information that doesn't exist. The rental application form I just filled out refused to let me proceed without entering a mobile number for my current employer. I actually don't have a mobile number for them because they're a business and they're contactable by email or landline. Then it wouldn't let me proceed without a driver's licence, passport or student ID. I don't have any of those. Well, I have a student ID from years ago but it's long since expired; hopefully they'll be happy with that. I have plenty of other forms of identification but I guess my birth certificate and proof of age, working with children, and medicare cards are no good for some reason.

Did anyone ever have that thing happen where you casually take your phone out of your pocket, and instead it's like you unsheathed the phone and yeeted it, frisbee-like, across the room? That's what happened the one time I broke a phone. Walking with a friend, went to check an address and the drat thing trebucheted corner-first into hard concrete. What was crazy was how little cracking there really was, just a spiderweb in the corner and one big main crack with a tributary across the screen. I still used it for months after that.

The one time I truly broke my phone I just had it fumble out of my right hand, cause I was too lazy to use both hands to reach an app in the top left corner. While it fell, I wanted to catch it with my left hand, but instead I just swatted it full force into the wall next to me. I don't think a sturdier case could have saved it. I'm truly surprised my current phone still lives and has no scratch at all. I lost count the times I wanted to put it into my pocket, miss the pocket, and then still let go, to just watch it drop onto the floor.

The "catch-oops-swat" instinct is why I've trained myself to just let poo poo fall. From kitchen knives to cellphones to falling children, there's just not much my speeding panic hand is gonna help with

My phones have all worn out on their own, the saddest was my LG Rumour Plus that had the connection between the keyboard and the screen wear out so when I slid the keyboard out it just showed static on the screen. Honestly I probably would still be using that phone otherwise, it was the perfect amount of usable (although a little less so now that Twitter disabled posting by SMS) My first smartphone heated itself to death over time, it still technically boots its just so slow even on a complete factory reset that there's no point in trying to even compose a message on it. I'm now on my second smartphone and I've dropped it so many times over the like 4 years I've had it and there isn't even a scratch on it. Really impressive build quality. My pet peeve is that this phone is the "compact" model of its line and its still bigger than my previous phone. Why are they so big!! These things are supposed to go in your pocket!!

Pet peeve,from this thread and everywhere else: People posting about the fact that they've never broken their phone and so don't understand why people need cases. Do you not wear a seat belt or have a smoke alarm either?

Do you not wear a seat belt or have a smoke alarm either? Smoke alarms are just for warning me that I'm cooking while I am cooking and for screaming because we don't have a 9 volt battery in the house because why would we, so that could probably go.

Phone cases became a necessity with the birth of the camera bump to make the back actually flat and not get caught on the edge of a pocket

Phones are expensive. Mine is lucky it's just in a case and didn't get bricked up in the cellar all the while giving me 'FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, MONTRESSOR' notifications.
