iPhone X How many times a month do you drop your iPhone?

[Bako-MacAddict]

So I haven’t used a case for a while. Dropped my iPhone XS max in the kitchen and the back got a small crack. Lucky I have apple care not worried about it. Once I get a new phone I’ll rock it naked again. I haven’t dropped a phone in a very long time.

I’ll be more careful next time.

i have bought a cushioned pouch cover for the safety purpose and i rarely drop it.

I feel any case for that matter cheapens the look of the device.

And that just speaks you. It’s just your opinion. and I don’t agree with that.

Of course, most of anything on forums are all opinions.

iphone 7
1-3 times a month
no case
no screen damage, a few minor dents in the corners

hate cases; the nice shiny nice feeling iphone chassis is pointless if you're just going to cover it in a case.

In my house onto soft carpet too many times to count. Outside I don’t think I’ve dropped a phone since 2012. I use a case and glass screen protector.

IMO having a phone for more than a year without dropping is almost impossible, unless you're extremely lucky. Out of all the years of owning iPhones and Androids the only case that I have seen that preserves the phones in mint condition is the Otterbox Defender. I had one for my 4s and it's still perfect functionality wise as cosmetically after retirement. my friend has a Note 4 which looks brand new when taken out.

View attachment 811326 For me, I say about 15-25 times a year. My husband is always counting. I now have the XS Max and it’s the first time I cracked the glass with a protective case on it. Granted I fell of the stairs with my phone in my hands. But I learned how to live with it.

Ouch. My toddler threw my max down our carpeted stairs but I didn’t get a mark on it. I have a glass screen protector on and a spigen crystal clear case.

I think it depends where you drop your phone. I’ve dropped my phones lots of times at home on carpeted and laminate floors and never got any any marks on them.

I dropped my original galaxy note outside onto pavement and if got scuffed and I dropped an S4 onto a marble floor at work and it got scuffed.

I voted 1-3 times a month in the poll but that doesn’t say much. What exactly constitutes dropping your phone? My phone falls of my bed a two foot drop onto carpeted floor about 3-4 times a week. I also drop my phone about once or twice a month from a foot or two while under a desk or counter checking networking equipment or my phone will fall of my dashboard or seat onto the floor of my car.

As far as real dropping from sitting or standing heights onto hard floor goes, that happens maybe 4-8 times a year at most. That also happens in unpredictable patterns. I may not drop my phone from that height for months at a time and in a bad month while traveling, being overworked, or doing activities outside of my routine I might drop my phone 2-3 times in a month.

BTW my phone is an iPhone X with an Apple leather case with no damage at all (to phone) purchased on launch so about 13 months old. The above reflects my droppage pattern through all 5 iterations of iPhones I have owned since my first which was the 3g back in 2008 kept all of them in a case 98% of the time.

I cracked a screen only once and that was because I had a crappy case on my iPhone 6. The weakness of said crappy case was compounded when I dropped my phone 3 times in one day due to a hole in my coat pocket that I was not aware of.

How many times you drop your phone is largely irrelevant. How you drop your phone and what level of protection you have if any is more important. A naked iPhone can fall of my bed or be dropped from waist height onto carpeted floor hundreds of times with nary a scratch or a nick. Conversely you might drop that same phone from head height just once with or without a decent case onto concrete or gravel and that one drop is all it may take to shatter that phone.

Moral of the story...use a decent case and be mindful of your activities and usage patterns.

Never have.

And it is clad in a nice leather case.

 

[BoricuaHec01]

Xs Max since day one for me (naked) and been with iPhones since 2012, NEVER dropped my phone once.

 

[dk001]

Do you think Apple leather case’s are cheap plastic?

Expensive cheap crap. Yeah, much better description.

How do you drop a phone in a 2 dimensional world?

 

[ZStech]

Please state which model you’re using.

I’m on iPhone X.

I’d say 1-3 times a month. No damage at all because I have a case!

Never ever dropped it, really.

 

[now i see it]

Clumsiness has nothing to do with dropping an iPhone. The retarded satin anodized finish is the most slippery dry surface ever invented. Dropping it is inevitable if a case isn't used.
Use a Loopy case. It's then impossible to drop it. Impossible.
