The cover cushioned the phone so that anything it hit would have a chance to survive. It’s for the protection of everything else
To this day bunker buster bombs consist of cardboard poster tubes filled Nokia phones.
Yeah, the cover protects anything that the phone falls on.
It’s not for you; it’s to make HER feel sexy. You wouldn’t understand smh.
(/s, if it’s needed)
Everyone plays up the 3310 as a snake-playing text-messaging mjolnir but I had a Motorola Talkabout that survived being spiked into the pavement once. The battery popped out but I put it back in and made a phone call.
turns out a plastic shell with some give in the structure can take abuse more gracefully than a solid brick made of glass. and aluminum.
I had a Nokia something or another, it was a stick phone from sprint, somebody got pissed and threw it full speed, across the room, into a concrete wall, and it flew into like 7 pieces.
However, when I put those 7 pieces back together, that son of a bitch went on running.
I guess there’s trade offs for everything, but the younger generations will never know how to send a t9 text from your pocket
I always had flip phones until the QWERTY keyboard era but I really do miss being able to text by feel.
It might be indestructible, but it’s not impervious to dirt. Which isn’t even an issue for the phone itself, it’s just gross.
They made it for that little plastic clip on the back to put it on your belt, not to protect the phone. So it’s still useless.
My parents had one. They aren’t the smartest bunch
