Hubby does the Otterbox thing too. His screen broke inspite of that. In his case it could have been an aging problem, the phone was at LEAST 2 years old. Rather than replace screen he replaced phone.
Which Otterbox did he get?
Mine has a mil-spec screen guard that’s really tough.
I’ve dropped my phone so many times it’s not funny.
SPECK makes silicone “HumVee” type cases that seriously good, too.
I would have gotten one of those instead of the Otter but they hadn’t made them for iP4 yet.
My old iPhone has been in the SPECK case for 4+ years and looks like brand new when taken out.
