My 'second' Galaxy Xcover 4 tuff phone.... .
Just looking at various Android replacement options, not necessarily a tuff version, but seems most now have at least 6.5 inches screens, so not handy in the pocket. Any suggestions on a budget of around £200?

Be worth checking your insurance.

My 3y/o iPhone dropped out my pocket when driving a machine in the yard, fell on the floor and was driven over. 48hrs later I had a brand new latest model only paying the £25 excess.

Brilliant service!

Got a smartphone? You need an otterbox or griffin defender. Simple as that.

Good point, but it was in a protective case, I guess this time the angle of attack was perfect.

Greater care is what's needed, before such events empty your bank account.
Cheap phones tend to have thin easily broken screens, although expensive ones might not have 'tough enough' screens for some people either. The only screen I've broken so far was a Nokia Windows phone. It just cracked in my pocket as I was climbing into the rear of my pickup bed. Most have had soft shock absorbing [cheap] condoms [sleeves] and a film screen protector, but they don't protect much from bending or extreme dropping or other impact. Thing is to remove phone from body when practical to do so, such as when tractor driving, milking, or doing anything really physical and leaving it somewhere reasonably specific and accessible, not somewhere random where you could lose it.

Yes, I know, its easier said than done, but like a lot of things it becomes a habit after a while. Accidents still happen off course, but less frequently.

When my silage contractor got trapped by his mower while adjusting it, his phone was in the cab!

Great care is needed in all aspects of life.
