Look, you dropped your last phone because it lacked proper protection. Listen, don't cheap out now. Get a UAG Monarch Series S26 Ultra Case for the frame. It uses five layers of protection and meets military drop-test standards without adding excessive thickness. It's built like a tank. Regarding the screen, it is not a scam. Glass breaks. Get a Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector for S26 Ultra and install it properly. It uses liquid adhesive to bond to the screen, which keeps the fingerprint sensor working and prevents the glass from shattering on impact. 1. Clean the screen with alcohol before applying the protector.

• Do not rush the curing process.
• The case protects the frame, the glass protects the screen. It is simple physics. Protect your investment.

Like someone mentioned, protection is key—I learned that the hard way when I dropped my old phone on a cobblestone street in Shoreditch last rainy season. It wasn't pretty. Since you're in London, you really need a decent grip:

• Grab a Spigen Liquid Air Armor S26 Ultra Case—it's super slim, but the texture is amazing.
• Definitely add a ESR Camera Lens Protector so the glass doesn't scratch when you set it down.

^ This. Also, grab a Peak Design Everyday Case S26 Ultra—the magnetic locking system is a total game changer for commuters, plus it's slim enough that it won't feel like a brick.
