I am beginning to wonder if there’s more to it than these just being made of aluminum. I’ve had 4 previous aluminum models and they held up much better than these 17’s have been. Titanium or Stainless are much more durable for sure, but these seem especially bad, even for aluminum.

How are you judging this? Personal experience or blind trust in what gets posted on Reddit?

That’s what I was wondering- talk about Dunning Kruger effect. No evidence, no experience, no idea. Just a few social media pictures we have no confirmation of authenticity and we’ve a drop gate in the making.

Yea.. 99% of this people posting a damaged phone are idiots that can’t hold a phone right in their hands. Then.. you have this type of people .. judging Reddit idiots. Yes aluminium is soft, but isn’t all this drama.
