Quite a lot actually. It has that stupid handle on it so it doesn't ft in my pocket.

Yeah, it was forty-nine times, and now it might be waiting for you.

That's much less reliable tbh

As are other more structurally sound models.

Does a phone count as a flared base?

Put it down your underwear and make it look like you've got a hard on all the time

TBF, maybe they wear women's pants. A pack of gum wouldn't fit in those pockets.

Clip to a carabiner on your belt loop

Says you, I mostly use my jacket pockets for my phone. My jacket pockets are large and deep so I could probably shove like 3 of these things into one pocket, my jacket is a surplus Czech Military field jacket.

I think it's a going out and doing things to have fun thing.

I lose my parts phones often (and usually find them in unusual places). But I never lost a thing I actually used semi-often.

But I do drop phones all the time (I also dropped my Redmi's bare motherboard ~2 times while repairing it (somehow it survived without problems)). I cracked one screen glass on a Samsung a12 last year (a really shitty phone), it's still fully functional (but not mine anymore). I also cracked an LCD of a Huawei P20 lite (which I would probably still be using if it was in a working condition). Now I use a Redmi 4X. It was old when I got it and survives literally everything (except any mild motherboard temperature changes (weirdly)). I'm not replacing it until it's irreparable since I can't take care of stuff.

Edit: Also had a Mi 11 Lite 5G with severe motherboard problems, which isn't important in this context. Fuck the new Xiaomis.

It doesn't usually go down the grate, it goes down the big hole

I was thinking one of those extendo Keychain things, but glued to the front of your phone

You could clip it to your, I don't know, airport or quarry.
