I miss phones where it didn't matter if I dropped it. I had one phone that while intoxicated I got upset at a phone call and threw the phone into the woods and ignored it the whole night, next morning it was perfectly fine.
I miss analog phones, where if your signal was weak you might still make out what the person was saying through the static, vs. the digital garbage we have now (if it doesn't just cut out).

Phone cases never let me down!

OMG, why would you pile on?
BurgerBaron@quokk.au · 3 pts · 25d
In fact I'll go without a phone case from now on, and step on sidewalk cracks!

Why stop there? Walk under some ladders too. Maybe break a mirror.

Put it in a plastic bag so they can browse while swimming
