Not all drops are the same but this can at least show real world examples.
This can help you increase your odds when buying a case.

1)Phone model
2) Case
3) Estimated height
4) Surface dropped on
5) Estimate how it landed (corner/front flat etc.)
6) Damage/ non damage to phone and case

Naked since the very first iPhone, multiple drops to each one, I lay my phone on any surface without losing sleep over it. Nick here and a nick there, I always get great $ when it comes time to sell. I also have applecare+ which means that a new phone is just an apple store away and also adds to the resale value.
