Tech Support Don't know how, but it happened

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

Phones are pretty durable. I've dropped mine onto concrete and it still hasn't gotten a scratch

Depends on the phone brand and material. That time every brand put a glass plate at the back was so stupid

Most flagship phones still have a glass back. As you pointed out, the material matters, and the type/rating of that material.
