I do use a case, nothing special, just some random chinese plastic. I also keep it wrapped in plastic protectors, both on the back and front, and tend to switch them out when it begins to look scuffed.

So far it looks kinda brand new besides the edges that have some actual scuff marks, i tend to drop it frequently lol

For what its worth, my galaxy flip 5 is over 2 years by now and have no issues whatsoever. I also work in construction so it is by no means pampered. Ive had regular phones break earlier than this have held up now.

Lol sure is. Stop assuming everyone is americano.
