Maybe you should try buying a better phone? Or not awful knockoff screens from ebay. Nicer phones do legitimately have MUCH more durable screens. So even though the bezel might be thin the screen can handle drops a lot better.

I don't even care, I've never bought a phone before. I wouldn't even have one if other people didn't insist on getting me one. Hence, I have more phones than I need.

And my best tech phone is also the most damaged, the one I'm using right now. It has 44 sensors including LIDAR, but the replaced front screen is busted now (don't let anyone lie to you and say Gorilla Glass is invincible, it most certainly isn't, my bare palm broke it), the back glass is busted, the battery is worn pretty well, and the logic board is blacklisted, so it's WiFi only anyways.

I've literally never bought a phone before, I never wanted one in the first place. I'm naturally a desktop/laptop sort of guy, it's just family, friends and employers that insist I have a phone.

Wonder why I have more of a tendency to break phones? I've spent years riding BMX flatland, and a couple decades working on vehicles and bicycles.

Do you know what it's like to get a phone call while your hands are covered in engine oil? Or just simply riding a bicycle down the street, listening to music on your phone, and a simple speedbump makes your phone slip out of your pocket and hit the pavement?

I like technology that lasts a long time and doesn't have to be treated like an eggshell.
