For anyone that works a construction job. I have a question for you

[jc0481]

What iPhone case do you use?
Does not have to work a construction job. Just looking for someone that does not work an office job.

Just got the new iPhone 16 Pro Max case and I currently work a warehouse job. I just want peace of mind if my phone slips out of my hands for whatever reason, nothing will happen to my phone. I want to keep this phone for a very long time. Don't want to go to an Apple Store to get it fixed or send it out to get it fixed.

Furthermore, I don't care if the phone case feels like holding a brick. I just want protection from falls, dust and the weather. I get snow in the winter where I live.

Just looking for iPhone rugged cases. Thank you.

Torras ultra thin silicone clear MagSafe case is good

Otterbox Defender would be the best rugged protection

I'd be concerned about any case that leaves the screen exposed. I'm not sure that when sellers do a "drop test" if they ever try one with the screen landing on a half-inch bolt.

Y’all ain’t a construction worker 👷 but I’m a CNC machinist and goes to CNC machining class Tuesday afternoons.

Also was an intern at NASA and took classes in machining and engineering before.

When I go to these classes I use my strongest iPhone case I have. I used to use a miniso dual layer case for my red iPhone 7 when I took my first machine shop class 2 years ago. Didn’t drop it as much.

I use screen protectors with my iPhone all the time with a case.

Right now I’m using a Kate spade case on my iPhone 15 Pro as I’m off the shop floor for spring break and Easter 🐣, but once I’m back on machining I’ll pop on the rifle paper co. Case on my iPhone 15 Pro.

Ain’t an otterbox or extremely rugged case fan as it’s too bulky and MagSafe isn’t possible with these things, so I just use the strongest clear case which the rifle paper company one has raised corners for absorbing shock 😮, high bezels and screen lip on the front and for rear camera, and all covered buttons. Also a thick tpu material is on it.

In a separate thread on Apple Watch cases and screen protector I also use a clear case once every week when I wear my watch in the machining shop.

Wishing y’all well.
