I thought I was the only one. Back in the day, I would do that to a Motorola Star Tac flip phone and it refused to die. Now,I dare to throw a modern phone and I will shatter it. I have found that the "mid range" phones offer more than enough for the typical user BTW.
I go through one or two a year.
I tossed my J7 against the fireplace couple months back.
Nothing.
Scratched the back of the case.
Too bad.
I was ready to buy myself a Christmas present....
