I have never wear case for this phone and dropped it from 2015 to then, just some scratches on the screen, glass back has broken by my friend this early year, aluminum frame rough quite bad around 4 corner. Very durable compact phone. To be honest, budgets phones now can't be as beautiful as this phone, the super amoled screen is the reason why i still keep it

          I've had this phone for nearly 6 years now. It used to be my mum's phone, but then got passed down to me. It works OK, but is a bit laggy sometimes and the battery gauge doesn't always tell the truth, (that might be because of the age) but other than that is OK and I would recommend it!

                  Been Using This Device In & Out For A Couple Of Years. Not The Fastest But Still Great With Stock 7.0, Might Root It In The Future & The Size Of This Device Is Great.

                          Ahhhh the phone that you see on the 10 or 11 o clock news or if you have Spectrum in some markets than 24/7 but the phone you see on the news in a evidence staging table next to it's Galaxy J series sibling, a LG Optimus of some kind, a Coolpad, white iPhone 7 and 8, iPhone 5, and LG Rebel below the display of a single shot shotgun neighoring a bunch of handguns and the kilos of what they call "Sheed Wallace" - Cheap to buy on a prepaid plan, FM radio and modest to the point that distractive non work related activities are not done on the handset - decent enough camera for advertising and sales pictures!

                                  I might have dropped this like 100 times. believe me, not even a single scratch or part replacement.
                                  I really believe this gorilla glass 4 Samsung used in this device is harder than victus or sapphire. :D
                                  Exynos 7578 with 1.5GB ram is bit lacking to run larger apps in 2021.
                                  but I'm still using this as the 2nd device to take business calls and run couple of messaging apps. still works perfectly fine,
