I want to buy an iphone but I am afraid of moments when I dont want to take such an expensive phone with me (festivals, going out to drink, hiking, ..). I am afraid of damaging or losing it.

Are there any people who switch out there sim cards to a different phone or use some kind of text/call forwarding app (if this exists?)? Are there other solutions?

Look into purchasing an OtterBox or LifeProof Fre case if you're worried about damaging your iPhone.

When I head to the mountains to go snowboarding, I use a sim card adapter and take my old Motorola Q9h with me instead of my iPhone.
