    This phone (the one with the zillion cracks) is also still perfectly usable. As long as I don’t carry it with me anywhere, it has to stay home.

    After the first screen replacement, it lost its water resistance. Not like I go stirring my drinks with it or whatever, but humidity from sweat in my pocket will get into it, and the touchscreen will go bonkers!

    Yes, I replaced the screen myself, I’ve done thousands of screen replacements before, that was my job for around 8 years.

    But when the phone only has like half a millimeter of edge space for the double sided tape to adhere to, there’s basically no way to get that slim of tape to keep water or even humidity out.

    Eggshell technology…
