    A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

      There’s a constant race between inventors and the universe. Inventors are trying to create idiot proof devices, and the universe is creating better idiots.

      The universe is winning.

        Is dropping a smartphone from a standing height the work of an idiot? Sounds like something a smartphone designer might say, but I think OPs point is valid. Don’t even get me started on cases. Eventually history will look at smartphone cases the way we look at plastic on furniture from the 50s.
