just dropped my phone in the kitchen and it landed glass-side-down onto the tiles, and made a bang so loud that my ears are ringing.

I should point out that the front glass was *already* cracked, so therefore compromised, and still zero damage.
(it's a small crack from a sharp force hit on one of the curved edges, but isn't really noticeable during regular use)

@gsuberland right?! Remembering back a decade or so and holy shit they were fragile. I had one crack in my pocket because my bag bumped it.

@gsuberland I wonder if the volume of the noise suggests that that energy wasn't destructively absorbed by the screen itself

@dysfun I'm usually very good with phones, but my ankylosing spondylitis has been making my fingers not obey me properly today and I ended up dropping it.
the sharp force crack was it falling out of my hoodie pocket as I got out of the car, landing directly onto a particularly sharp pebble. sadface.

@migratory I think it fell very flat and so distributed the pressure across the whole screen, hence the noise and lack of damage

@emily_s my old Sony Ericsson's screen got busted cos I leaned against a drawer and the handle pressed into it. instantly ruined. can't imagine a modern phone that wouldn't trivially withstand that.
