I mean, there's no way that cell phone makers don't understand that putting chunks of rubber in certain places would make their phones more durable, right?

- hombre_fatal 7y agoEven if I had the option to choose, I'd still much rather be able to cycle through cases than have a phone with a built-in case that gets scuffed up and impossible to resell. I go through 1-2 cases per iPhone and have a mint-condition device when I'm ready to get a new one. What works for $30 throwaway Nokia bricks doesn't work for $800 smartphones. I don't think I'm in the minority.
- raverbashing 7y agoWhy are your cases lasting only one/two years? I've never had a case not outlast a phone, they keep up well, rubber cases I mean.

- Animats 7y agoIt's much more subtle than that. Tiny bits of elastomer in the right place can do more than a centimeter of rubber around the whole thing. Finite element analysis may be required to figure out how to absorb energy in minimal space. Internally, some parts may need a slight separation. Some connections may have to be flexible, but not all of them. This is hard design.
