Probably a main difference is that mine is in constant use. No time
for it to live in a belt-holster. I typically have 4-5 hours of
talk-time a day and the screen is on and/or being used for 8-10 hours
a day. When traveling, it doesn't even get to rest for one minute.
The "death by garage floor" scenario is actually about the highest
percentage of causes of cellphone death. People have the phones in
their lap or loosely sitting in a coat pocket. The get out of the car
and the phone goes flying. I've witnessed and experienced this many
times.
With the old flip-phone (feature phone), it always lived in my pants
pocket, as did the Palm phone and my Nexus S4G, but the last two I've
had are way too big for comfortable pocket use and they are always in
use anyway, so it doesn't do me any good to have them in my pocket.
Although, my new Blutooth headset might actually help resolve that a
tiny bit. I'd go back to a smaller phone, but with the amount of use
mine get, I value the larger screen AND the bigger battery.
BTW, if I were to run my new one "commando", it's one of the best
looking phones around. Motorola nailed it with this one--it's an
engineering-geek's phone. I'd be tempted to do so, but I would pay the
insurance instead of buying the case.
