My wife needs a new phone after dropping her nth Samsung phone for the 20th time. We really like the functionality of Samsung phones, but it seems none of them can survive being dropped repeatedly (crazy, eh?). What I’m looking for is a phone/case combo that can survive a nuclear war. Speaking of which, since my wife is female, it should not look like an armored personnel carrier and it should not weigh more than 8 oz (226g). It must have a large screen (>= 6.7"), support dual sim (one eSim, one physical is OK), and have a good camera. It does not need to be a current model, but shouldn’t be more than a few years’ old. Any suggestions or tips?

    I just wanted to recommend Velvet Caviar cases, they are cute and tbh I drop my phone all the time and it’s always fine and of course a nice tempered glass. I have the S21 Ultra :)

      Looks good. Which tempered glass do you use. I find that some of them don’t fit well with cases.

        To be honest, I always used tempered glass in my devices, but when I got the S21U it was very weird and the fingerprint unlock wouldn’t work great with them, right now I’m using a film. Like a transparent vynil sticker and my screen has been good even though I drop my phone all the time when I’m getting out of the car 😆
