The cover cushioned the phone so that anything it hit would have a chance to survive. It’s for the protection of everything else

It had a belt clip, that was the only reason to get one of these. I had one.

It's not for you; it's to make HER feel sexy. You wouldn't understand smh.

(/s, if it's needed)

Everyone plays up the 3310 as a snake-playing text-messaging mjolnir but I had a Motorola Talkabout that survived being spiked into the pavement once. The battery popped out but I put it back in and made a phone call.

turns out a plastic shell with some give in the structure can take abuse more gracefully than a solid brick made of glass. and aluminum.

They made it for that little plastic clip on the back to put it on your belt, not to protect the phone. So it's still useless.

It might be indestructible, but it's not impervious to dirt. Which isn't even an issue for the phone itself, it's just gross.

My parents had one. They aren't the smartest bunch
