I love my wife, but how do I protect her phone from her?

I'm glad we can both come to an understanding,

 

one more note for the rotary phones,

 

rotary phone's handset is just a wires attached to one microphone and one speaker: there's no glass, microchips, batteries, diodes, cameras/lenses

 

so again, yes, they didn't break as much or often, because their build didn't really allow them to, and the cord attached itself sometimes started to recoil the handset before it hit the ground, slightly dampening the fall by slowing it down, and obviously, everything that's more fragile than a thick plastic case, is inside that said plastic case, so there's no possible direct impact on something vital to that device either, even though plastic doesn't really soften the fall

 

most of these phones also usually resided at relatively risk-free surfaces, carpets even

 

you didn't bring your rotary phone outside, so they never really had a chance to get dropped onto something as rough as concrete or pavement.

 

But let's leave this, a conversation like this could go on forever...

As for the Gorilla glass being on the phone, I don't really want to assume, but there's 2 possible things,

 

1 is the fact that real-world isn't equal to the testing conditions of phones falling, which is also second point covering surface and potential accidental force applied that further propelled the phone, or perhaps they do use different thicknesses of glass, unless I'm wrong which is possible.

But because of this conversation I now have the idea to connect my wife's phone to an old phone cord tied to her neck! It could be a new style of necklace.

 

Anyhow, thanks for the ideas and conversation!

Ya, I'm still baffled by this. It broke the screen in spite of also having another sheet of protective glass screen protector, and supposedly had only fallen a couple inches from her trying to set it onto the counter to the edge of the nearby sink. Yet I can accidentally drop my older, non-Victus glass phone from shoulder height, over 5 feet off the ceramic floor, and still not damage it. I would seem my wife made up the story, although I have no other reason to doubt her.

show me how they look like, maybe I'm using a similar phone (can't really find it on google, unless I'm looking right at it)

The hardware is old and slow. And the one I have isn't available anymore. And while mine has always worked, I know others have had issues with them. They are made for people that work construction.

Ya, probably not durable enough. I need one for someone who knits, gardens, cooks and makes teenagers clean their rooms.

it's not that bad, this is my phone, it might be even less durable than yours, but it is what it is: (it's good enough for me)
