Every new major phone gets the dreaded "OMG! My screen broke for no reason! I swear i didnt drop it!" routine. I bet 9/10 time the user either dropped it or banged it in the pocket. I have had pretty much every major device and I treat my stuff like its made of titanium and I have never ever broke a device. The screens may get scratched up but never broken. An I dont use cases or screen protctors.
I've been VERY lucky with phones:
iPhone 4 from 5 feet up while walking. I'm so coordinated that I also kicked it. The case shattered into pieces and the phone skidded 15 feet. People in the mall thought I was drunk, but the phone lived without a single scratch.
S3: fell on corner. Plastic mucked up badly, phone works. S3 glass however is SEVERLY scratched from going in/out of my pocket (my jeans have little metal rivets or whatever all jeans have. Scratched the glass in no time. Gorilla glass is nonsense.)
That said, the S3 IS a very fragile phone. No clue on the S4.
