I don’t understand why phone makers don’t design the phone with the cover in mind. Make the cover a part of the phone. Nokia had interchangeable covers and it was awesome! There were whole stores with different covers to choose from. I had 2 or 3 different ones and would swap depending on my outfit.

I know this has something to do with iPhones because they use titanium? But I don't get it

I love that the two replies contradict each other. Are the new titanium phones more fragile or more resistant to damage?

There are many kinds of damage, and being more fragile makes only one of them more likely.

(And yet, "fragile" is the wrong word there, because the problem is that it's flexible, what's the opposite of fragile.)

Because how fragile the new titanium body is. Like fragile enough to be able to break the glass back with no tools (you just have to press a little hard with your thumb).

New iPhone has a titanium body to make it more resistant to damage. People gonna put it in a case anyway.

I drop my phone all the time without a case and it's never cracked
