I'm kind of over the fear and destroying a phone every time I carry it. Are there any cellphone types out there that actually have a thicker screen that wont completely shatter if its sneezed on just right?
*The first time my screen broke, I was literally texting someone and the screen shattered under the pressure of my tiny fingers. (Female, 5'3'', 100 lbs...). I thought maybe it was the glass screen protector on too tight or on wrong, but considering the fact that you *Should* be able to throw the phone off a roof and not have it break, yet a 2 1/2 foot fall destroyed it....??? I have doubts.
If you can simply shatter the screen of an iPhone 8 simply by texting someone, I don’t think any screen, regardless of smartphone brand, would be sufficient for you. Seriously!
With that being said, you can take additional steps to help keep the display of your smartphone safe. Purchasing a glass screen protector, a rugged case and always keep it in a manner that prevents it from easily falling out of your pocket can all prevent mishaps with the display.
