I had the Moto X Play and it lasted nearly 3 years, the battery went bad, which is to be expected. That was my only issue with it. I currently have the Moto Z2 Play, no issue and it's been more than a year now. My experience is anecdotal, but so are yours. Are you just missing the fact that you happens to drop your phone pretty often? It would still be crazy because I do drop mine from time to time and never wear phone case.
