Particularly with a malarky disclaimer like "don't take it personal"...
If you want to have to treat it like you are caring around a piece of glass and have the luxury of "baby"ing it while you work good on you, but don't act like the rest of us are less than if we want to stick them in a protective case...
I never insinuated that the OP was careless, but he did openly admit he drops his phone a lot. I don't know if that's due to butterfingers or the nature of his work.
Regardless, YOU'VE decided to make this personal and accuse me of being an [censored] when that was absolutely not my intent. I don't think any more or less of a person because they drop phones. It's your money and your phone.
And FWIW, I do have my iPhone 5s in a case because I know that accidents happen. The case is an insurance policy against those accidents, not an excuse for me to abuse my phone. As I said, I have yet to drop a phone.
