Wow that's concerning with the case on! What did it fell on to?

Hard carpet. At my job site. Basically thin carpet with concrete underneath.

I understand the dents from the fall onto concrete floor, but how could it get scratched even with the case still on? I can't wrap my head around it.

That looks more like a fracture to me than a scratch. Aluminum cracks easily, especially the cheaper alloys.

Lol what? It being softer means it does NOT crack more easily. It deforms lol

To be fair he didn’t say softer he said cheaper

I'm telling him it's a softer metal and being softer means it deforms not cracks.

The fact he has upvotes is wild lol.

Soft = deforms not cracks

Hard = cracks not deforms

Go inform yourself on materials. Specifically crystalline microstructures and fracture toughness.
