    You see, that’s why OP always carries a second phone: To photograph the first one not falling into the gutter

    How often are you dropping your phone into a street drain?

        They are applied with an adhesive strip, not suction cup.

    It also doesn’t fit in your pocket. How convenient.

    I have broken zero phones and lost exactly zero phones in drains

    Can somebody confirm this is a concern? Is it an alcoholism thing?

      I lose my parts phones often (and usually find them in unusual places). But I never lost a thing I actually used semi-often.

      But I do drop phones all the time (I also dropped my Redmi’s bare motherboard ~2 times while repairing it (somehow it survived without problems)). I cracked one screen glass on a Samsung a12 last year (a really shitty phone), it’s still fully functional (but not mine anymore). I also cracked an LCD of a Huawei P20 lite (which I would probably still be using if it was in a working condition). Now I use a Redmi 4X. It was old when I got it and survives literally everything (except any mild motherboard temperature changes (weirdly)). I’m not replacing it until it’s irreparable since I can’t take care of stuff.

      Edit: Also had a Mi 11 Lite 5G with severe motherboard problems, which isn’t important in this context. Fuck the new Xiaomis.

        somehow survived

        There’s no reason it wouldn’t lmao, a falling phone board has both tiny weight and shitty aerodynamics.

          But also no protection whatsoever. I’m not that optimistic about it.

    I think I’ll be able to empathize with extraterrestrial alien religious rituals first before I can empathize with people who modify carefully crafted ergonomics of their phones with cases and stupid shit like this.

    “Oh, my phone needs that ugly ass round thingy and a transparent case that turns yellow within a month because I tend to drop it”

    How… How about NOT DROPPING IT??? The beautifully crafted materials of your phone, that beautiful glass, the thinness… all of that is gone because you decided to slap a cheap ass case on it…

      WHAT?? These flat slippery rectangles ARE NOT ergonomic at all until user inserts it into an ergonomic case of their choosing.

      I’ve gone caseless for my last two phones, and I drop my phone occasionally. It’s fine, it’s built pretty well.

      If someone constantly drops their expensive ass phone, they’re still too young and need a cheap training phone.

    Ha ing it diagonal like that means you can only use one hand in horizontal mode and only the other hand in vertical mode (if you have your fingers inside the handle).

    If you are prone to dropping your phone I suggest a strap. It sticks out of the port area and you can just tighten it against your wrist

    I want to make fun of this person having a phone-in-drain problem, but I’ve lived long enough to witness the universe dole out instant karma to people teasing others.

    A friend’s mother-in-law told her a story about watching lots of small children and not being able to herd them all to a washroom fast enough, which led to her shitting her pants. My friend made fun of her mother in law, incredulously wondering what kind of adult ever poops their pants. That very night she shit her bed.
