Well kids can screw up an iron anvil with a banana peel! I've seen my grandnephews and grandnieces swinging their iPhones around in circles via the charging cable! Not too bright. But kids don't have the years we have had to learn better than to do some of things they do. Nor did they have to work hard to earn the money to buy their devices, so they rarely appreciate the value of same. Although I've seen a lot of adults do stupid things too. It is not that uncommon to see guys put their smartphones in their pants back pocket then wind up with it shattered as it gets butt slammed at some point. Personally I err on the side of caution and get the most protective case I can. Accidents happen. Pets happen too!
