Sure I can, I just thought I was being pedantic enough.Can you overthink this just a little more?
It's not that I'm that careful, really. I'm just not glued to my phone screen like the average person is. You're less prone to dropping it, slinging food or water on it, or what have you when you're not using it all the time.You may be that careful, but that's far from representing the average person.
I used to work in a PC repair shop. We didn't do phones, but we had more than a few people come in asking if we did. I'm aware.Ask any phone store how many come in for screen replacement. It's a big business.
I'm not even remotely surprised by that. I still pocket my phone while I eat, though, because I focus on the thing I'm doing, and when I'm eating, I'm focused on eating.Some can't put their phone down long enough to eat and have food all over it.
I took that call when I was working in a call center. Lady called in asking if her warranty covered water damage. That was a customer service question, not a tech question, so I told her I didn't know, but I could get her to customer service. Asked what happened to the phone so I could relay the info during the warm transfer, she said she dropped the phone in the toilet and then started laughing. The CS agent that I transferred the call to laughed as well.Ever wonder how many fall into the toilet?
Pass. It's hot enough here in Oklahoma, and we haven't even really hit our normal summer temperatures yet.Try walking today in Phoenix and see if your phone works while safely in your pocket, it may not.
I have experienced my phone doing some pretty bizarre things when it's in my pocket while I'm cutting brush, firewood, or the grass, though. Get a good sweat going through your pocket, and your phone screen can't always tell the difference between that and input from your finger. I've had phones take screenshots, close my music app, open a different music app and start playing something from it, open random apps for no reason, and bring up random webpages.
But the important thing is that if I have to take the screen out of my new Bronco and put it in my pocket to protect it, I'm going to be disappointed...
