An Otter Box case is $60. I broke mine in Italy a couple of years ago,
and when I got home I made a claim and the otters sent me a new belt
clip. I have dropped by Galaxy 5 on concrete a few times with absolutely
no damage to the phone, A few scuffs on the case. But, the Otter box
won't protect the phone from water.

I just spent money and ordered a new Google Nexus 5X phone. I didn't
want the bigger phone they also introduced today, but I did sweat over
two details on this one: Do I get the extra flash storage capacity
(bah, no micro SD slot in these phones), for $50? Do I get the $69
protection plan that includes my dropping it on the ground for two years?
I decided to get both.
- The protection plan because I do drop my phone now and then, and I
will have it for two at least years.
- The extra flash storage because I expect to have it for more than
two years, and I always run short of storage. Not that *I* fill it up
with crap, everyone else does: just yesterday Google said they raised
the limit for Play Store .apk files from 50MB to 100MB. Why on earth
does a phone app need 100MB of space!?
I also ordered a USB-C to USB-A cable. Another new standard, yet again...
-kb, the Kent whose storage spending habit is offline maps...they can
be big, and it is a big planet.
