A recent study compiled by impact protection brand, D3O, found that phone breakages increase by 50% during the summer months compared to other times of the year. The surge in phone usage, combined with the more adventurous activities of summer, has led to a higher incidence of drops, spills, and other accidents that result in damaged phones.

The financial impact of these breakages is significant. According to research, Americans spend approximately $3.4 billion annually on repairing cracked and broken phones. However, many choose to continue using their damaged devices due to the high cost of repairs. In fact, a survey revealed that nearly 25% of smartphone users in the US are currently using phones with cracked screens because they find the repair costs prohibitive.
