I use an s22 with a decent spigen case and a screen protector. I drop my phone daily due to having a bad hand. My phone is yet to break. I’ve had it for almost a year now.
I live on a horse farm, so yeah, I have an Otterbox Defender that’s kept my phone safe so far.
I use a cheap android phone (<$120 when I bought it 3 years ago). I protect it with cheap case + Hydrogel screen protector. I’m satisfied with Hydrogel type screen protector as it still on good condition even after my phone falls screenfirst many times. There are many scratches right now on the screen protector, but it still usable and not annoying as most scratches located on the edge of screen. Most of them caused by falling sceenfirst to gravel ground and asphalt several times… lol.
