I have yet to understand the “discrepancy”. Which brand doesn’t default to locking the phone automatically after a short timeout? I’ve never had a smartphone that stays unlocked.

the fact that “the phone wasn’t locked” surprised me more than its surviving the fall 🙃

Some people are sane and use cases and glass screen protectors. Phones dont have a great enough terminal velocity to damage the internals. People get cases and throw band new iphones out of apartment buildings

I don’t feel the need to get a case that would allow my phone to survive an incident that I wouldn’t survive.

I want evidence of my gruesome death to be posted online for internet clout

Also if it landed on grass or fell through thin tree branches, there is almost no chance of damage.

My case has saved my phone screen so many times. Its raised edge keeps the screen from smashing into the ground.

I always use a glass screen protector, my last phone (Galaxy A71) only had a case, dropped it 100’s of times, one time there was a little pebble on the ground and that shattered my screen, for $10 you can get a 3 pack of glass screen protectors. Well worth it IMO
