A slip of the hand is all it takes to crack a phone nowadays. I feel like back in the age of Nokia and Blackberry it practically took a bulldozer to put a dent in one. However today’s iPhones break if you look at them too hard. I mean, how can something as advanced as an Android break as easy an egg shell?

Not only that, but each year they make the phones thinner and slimmer, but they offer no protection what so ever. That in turn forces you to buy a case the size of an elephant, which makes the slim design pointless.

Once you break your phone, it then begins the downward spiral of despair. Things like the buttons and the screen become really glitchy. My iPhone 5c is currently broken and will sometimes randomly call or text people as well as exit me out of stuff and just freak out in general. Then it costs a lot of money to either fix the screen or to replace the whole phone.

Another issue (or at least for me) is the size of my phone compared to the size of my pockets. Being a girl I wear jeans and shorts made for girls, which as any girl would know, the pockets are incredibly small. It seems like as the phones get bigger, the pockets get smaller. In fact, the reason my phone is currently broken is because it fell out of my so-called pocket.

As much as I may hate how easily smart phones breaks and that you need a case made out of four-inch thick steel, ranting won’t help or fix it. In the end I’m still addicted to my phone as much as everyone else is and I’ll still use it – cracked and all.
