I don't use this method and have broken zero phones in ten years because of it.

Each phone gets a 9h glass screen protector and thin TPU case, each about $10 on Amazon. I crack the screen protector maybe once every 8 months and there is usually three screen protectors in the pack I bought, so I just replace the cheap screen protector.

When I drop the phone, I try to soften the impact with my shoe.
