Maybe I should get an iPhone

Most of the OtterBox (Amazon link) stuff is pretty good. I've lost one on the airport, too... and no damage at all.

I'm a huge fan of the Otterbox cases. I use their Commuter case now, most rugged one I've seen that doesn't add much size to a phone. I've used their Defender case in the past. That thing is so bombproof they should paint 'em orange and sell them to Boeing to house their flight data and voice recorders.
 
Had a student leave one on the wing. Fell off at departure end. No damage, no Otterbox,
 
I've actually cracked three Otterbox Commuter cases.

But the phones survived just fine.
 
I use the Commuter, too. It seems like the best compromise of good protection and lack of added bulk.
 
iPhones are surprisingly resilient these days. My current iPhone spent about an hour caseless in 8’ of water and came out fine. Been dropped many times from 6+ feet too and no issues. Not so much as a nick in the screen.
 
No phone case around my phones. They go through lots of trouble take them thin, light and bezel-less. The last think I want to do is bulk it up, add a bunch of weight and add a big rubber or plastic bezel.

Back in my days over half the iPhones my friends had were cracked. A few looked shattered.

Cases for phones are kinda like what those "real" rubber bumpers on cars used to be.

I loooooooove my Iphone. I f******ing HATE Itunes.

I've bounced my phones a few times off the ground and the latest generation of phones are stronger than they were when companies like Otterbox exploded and convinced everyone they need to put a condom on their phones.
 
iPads are probably more of risk to get damaged, especially if jammed into backpack with hard objects. Big screen just asking to get cracked if you’re careless.
