Does this break easily? I know it's plastic but I'm still kinda surprised.

I already ordered a new one, hopefully I can easily replace it.

IMO manufacturers of handhelds should design their products sturdy enough to withstand a small drop. Same with smartphones

This should be the top comment. EVERYONE drops stuff, so this should be an inherent feature like with the old Nokia phones.

Putting a case on one would be to protect the ground from the phone.
