One time I took the bus to the hill, I got fucking loaded, snapped one of my skis, lost my wallet (and dignity). So now I’m never taking the bus to the hill again

Try another pocket?! Bib chest one might have less bones to flex around.

Invest in a case. Even the shittiest $5 one can help. No guarantees but sucks breaking a phone

Phone always goes in front left pocket. I'm way better at falling on my right side so when I'm going down and have a choice I go to the right.

Was it in your side pocket, or like a breast pocket in your jacket? In the jacket is where I keep mine, have never had a problem

My coworker told me a story of how he fell with his phone in his jacket pocket and a few days later passed out at work because turns out he ruptured his spleen with it. Always pants pocket for me now, screen in of course. Maybe I’m just superstitious

Facts I just smashed mine last week (probably skill issue) but still..

Apple Watch solved it tho, download tunes to watch, Bluetooth earbuds to watch… leave $1400 phone in the car 👍🏻

This. If I take a shot to the sternum hard enough to smash my phone I probably have bigger issues to deal with for a bit.
