I've been debating on going caseless with my cellphone (recently did this with my iPad and I won't go back unless the iPad comes with during travel). Yesterday I had a great reminder of why I keep the case on my phone. Allergies hit out of nowhere, huge sneeze and the phone goes flying.So shit, i was riding on my bike with my phone stuck to this top tier phone holder set-up the other day, quadlock and i accidentally go over this fucking rough stretch of bitumen and it gets shaken lose.. Falls onto the road and a corner gets shattered, damn lucky it didn't bounce under a car..
I ask them to pay for a replacement screen and send them gopro videos of the rough surface.. i attach my phone case and try to get it to fall off but without my phone's added weight it doesn't budge... I'm riding my bike over murderously bumpy roads repeatedly trying to shake this thing loose so eventually i say "that's enough" and send them my footage of this stretch of bitumenmageddon before i ruin my bike as well as my phone...
...they basically say since my videos don't show the bumps actually causing my phone to dislodge they don't believe me, because mountain bike mounts apparently work fine...
So basically I'm out the cost of a Google pixel 4a 5g screen replacement+labour (few hundred bucks here) because their lock failed and they're saying "sorry bro we're happy to send you a replacement mount and a case designed specifically for your phone"...
I've asked them to reconsider.

No damage so far to the phone, praise the ghost of Steven Jobs.
