PS: Dropping a phone should not destroy it. Over the last 20 years I have never used a case and shattered exactly one screen when fumbling it onto concrete. The new screen was not that expensive.
Instead I buy a ~$200 phone (which is just as good to me than a $1,000 phone) and when that one breaks I get another ~$200 phone.
I don't care about a broken screen though, if the screen cracks then I'll just use it until the phone isn't functional anymore.

These phones really aren't that expensive if you look for a deal.
