Hey fellow phone enthusiasts. Let's face it, we've all been there - that heart-stopping moment when our phone slips from our hands and we're left praying it survives the drop.

2 Do you think phone cases really make a difference in protecting your phone? Have you ever had a case that saved your phone from damage?

My guyyy phone cases are just for show and decorations ee, my phone fell from my hand mistakenly last year cracked my screen my case couldn't save it😭

I could remember when my phone dropped on floor that is tiled, just from my pocket and screen shattered

With case, it didn't even survive anything.
It feels from a 2 storey building, when I picked it up, the screen was blank

e reach to blank o, 2 storeys is quite the height 😂

Hmm I was lucky o, it was from a table but luckily the rug was able to minimize the aftermath of the fall.

Mine mistakenly slipped from my front pocket. Immediately the phone kissed the floor, I knew it was a story for another day.

The biggest scam is the phone case, that thing doesn't protect anything

You've said it all, just for decorations

You see Google Pixel 2 XL.......

That phone na stone, rock and machine.

Fell from a moving bike, fell from my cupboard in the kitchen, fell from my hand when someone used a football to hit my hand while watching them play at the gym and the floor is concrete(interlock).

The screen is broken with small part even removed and it's still working.

Just checked for the screen price thou... 50k.

I had to abandon the phone ooo, 65k to repair screen ke😂😂

Drop test or not, I’m still putting mine in a case. I can’t trust my clumsy hands.

Some of these phones are built like tanks. The screen survives but my heart rate doesn’t.

Na Samsung be this ohh 😩😩

Phones today: survive water, survive dust… but not survive my clumsy hands 😭

Phones these days can survive drops, but can they survive toddlers? That’s the real test

In my experience, glass backs + no case = heartbreak waiting to happen

Nothing beats the durability of those older Sony Xperia phones… mine survived countless falls

My old Nokia 3310 once fell off a bike at full speed… picked it up, still had 3 bars of battery left 😂

i think its main purpose is to protect the edges from getting chipped and keeping the body clean not majorly for protection per se

Makes sense tho

Omo, na screen guard dey save lives pass insurance

True talk, sometimes na just grace. Same height drop go scatter one phone, another one go survive like soldier

Most extreme drop? My phone slipped from the roof of my car while driving off. Found it later in the street—just minor scratches
