Case, protector, and prayer are the ways to go with the fragile phones of today (results)
We asked you last week what would you prefer now - a phone you always have to baby, or a relative clunker that can take some abuse without extra worries? After all, some midrangers are still made out of metal, while last year's glass flagships are now much cheaper, so you wouldn't have to pay utmost attention to your grip, or the handset's position in your pocket or purse.

Before wireless charging became in vogue, one could still find flagships with stellar cameras, top-notch specs, and premium metal designs, but, again, look around - all major phones are now made of glass, and some happy exceptions are at best in the upper midrange category.
Manufacturers never asked us whether we approve of this trend for the sake of slower wireless charging with dubious convenience advantages, but rather a me-too feature. To top it all off, the glass-y flagships are ever-increasing in price, but even if you get last year's model, clad in Gorilla Glass, repairing them when dropped and cracked may get to half the price of the phone itself, even if they don't land on their screens.
