Due to literal spasticity in one hand, I keep FLINGING MY PHONE (or dropping it, at speed, which I guess is just vertical flinging). I am on my 3rd phone this year. Am I switching to an Otterbox or is there something more bomb-proof on the market?

@sabrinadent Otter box and a lanyard attached if you can stick having it around your neck.

@sabrinadent embed it in one of those big car sponges

@sabrinadent I know one person who kept their phone in their shirt pocket and broke a sequence of them by bending over getting out of cars.

Lanyard and cover allowing for lanyard was the solution.

@sabrinadent secondary option- lanyard to inside bag loop. Less definitely successful, but also less wearing a phone around your neck.

@Tupp_ed I reject your sensible suggestion because I am not lanyarding my phone like a toddler with a binky tether.

I already dress like a toddler and nap like a toddler but the lanyard is A STEP TOO FAR.

@sabrinadent @Tupp_ed The neck lanyard type thing seems very popular with people in Europe for Phones.

@sabrinadent @Tupp_ed if we all got one and normalised it for you would that help?

@elliottucker @Tupp_ed I mean, I'm not going to object to a world in which we are ALL toddlers am I?

@sabrinadent giant klutz here, either an otterbox or something from UAG. I just decided to say fuck it as I like Android anyway and went all in with an Ulefone though. Dropped it like ten times already, it's a damn weapon.
