I think most phones are plenty durable, people are just paranoid.
And repairs are too expensive/risky. I think more repairable phones is a better aim than more rugged ones.
oh! so we're clear i'm not advocating against repairability. we absolutely must have that. but i'm tired of how easy it is to destroy an unfixable phone. we should have repairable phones that are designed to have long service intervals
are you still alive, Nazi?
Just so I'm clear as well, I disagree with you on that most phones are easily destroyed :) People are just overly worried about destroying their phones, which is pretty unlikely to happen, because repairing them is annoying and expensive. So they use a case, but it really isn't all that necessary to do so.
I've had my phone caseless (with screen protector), and dropped it plenty of times, for 4 years and haven't broken it once. I'm also not too worried about breaking it though because it's easily repairable. If all phones were I think people would forgo a case more often.
