As @theearlywalker already stated, she smashed it probably like 10 times in the time we were together. Without any shell.
Picked it up again, all fine.

You know how much abuse mine has been through lol. Dropping it from a table is one thing, flinging it into a celing so hard that you dented the ceiling and dropping it out of a window onto some rocks is another thing. Like I said before, mine only cracked because I didn’t glue it together properly and the glass had room to flex.
Hell, even my old S3 mini that slid across tarmac at 30 MPH after a Banshee crash was fine (besides some paint scuffage), then 10 mins later it was crushed by Banshee again. That time it did crack, but the phone still works as terribly as it did before the crash. lol

Life Pro Tip:
Don’t install anti-virus on your phone. Specifically don’t install Norton. I’ve left Malwarebytes on there because it seems a lot lighter, I’ll monitor it over the next few days. I installed them the other day because my phone randomly restarted itself in the night with no indication of what caused it. I was lying in bed and noticed my ceiling get brighter, took me a moment to realise my phone was doing something.
In other news, my charge LED appears to have resurrected itself and is fine again. Also, my dad spent a lot of yesterday setting up parts of my mum’s phone and trying to teach her (someone so far detched from tech, that most times she has to ask me how to copy and paste) how to use it. I could hear a fair amonut of rage downstairs. I think they’re finally starting to see why I refuse to be within 10 miles of anything made by apple.
Ive always been using the theme from galaxy store for my wallpaper and my screensaver instead of the pics/videos that i took myself 
Ive always liked the idea of how responsible the phone brand to their customers by offering this service kind 
And also i love scrolling thru some amazing contents of themes that they have there!
Spent the afternoon re-gluing my phone…again. The back panel is really on its last legs. I looked for one online, but reviews are mixed and didn’t want to chance it. It’s now being held together by superglue and sticky back plastic (the stuff designed to protect the covers of notebooks and the likes lol). I don’t want to replace this phone until it is completely unuseable.
Crappy photos were taken with Banshee’s old action cam.
What Samsung series is that?
I also use Samsung 
Standard 32GB S7 with an added 200GB µSD, had it since mid 2016.
S series is a good quality of series Samsung has
It will stay alive even if you crash it to the solid ground lol they say
The S series is starting to fall off a cliff as well. They dropped the jack with the 20. Mine has survived a lot.
Yeah the old version of S series are way better than the new ones… the body also looks tougher lol the new ones seem to look a little fragile
The metal frame around the outside of mine is the chassis. It’s machined aluminium and goes all the way through the phone with the screen mounted on one side and the battery and electronics on the other side.
Are we going to discuss iPhone 12 or…
I really want to bash it and people who bought one, but I can’t because I don’t want to look like a massive hypocrite given my recent purchase.
Well, I’m upgrading to one so…
What purchase, what did I miss?
It’s not that much of a jump from your XR. I don’t see the point. Look at me, I still run a smashed S7 because apart from the ruined back, it works just fine. I’m still getting 40h+ on a 4 year old battery with max brightness and in performance mode.
But like I said, I’m in no position to talk about spending stupid amounts of money on tech for at least the next few months.
I’m upgrading my laptop as my current one is starting to struggle with some of the stuff I throw at it.
Yeah, it’s not that big of a deal but my dad needs a new phone cause he’s legit done with his so… and I don’t get to pay the full price anyway so it’s ok, I’m only going to pay about £650.
Damn, that’s a lot for a laptop… a lot in general 
But you make the most out of it so it’s fine.

An equivalent desktop isn’t that much cheaper. This laptop will put most desktops (short of outrageous gaming rigs and the likes) to utter shame. I wanted to go for 16TB storage, but don’t want to spend £2.8K just in SSDs.
