I am even ashamed to admit, but I’ve broken a few phones along the years and I have the best excuses for every single situation: my hands were just a little bit wet and the phone dropped out of the blue, another one fall out of my pants pockets, just as another was so easy to hold in my bag that I totally forgot it was there.
