Do y'all remember the days when you dropped your phone and it exploded into 3 or 4 pieces? 🤣 Those were the good days.

Three. Battery, cover and the rest. Weirdly, no damage to the plastic display. How? I guess it was the weather bezel

And when you scratched up the back you bought a new one for $12. No $200 glass or machined aluminum cases that we put $35 covers on just to protect them from every day use.
