No Drop Tests With Cases?

---

You always see a ton of drop tests on youtube with new phones but nobody ever does them with different cases/bumpers. Why?

That is a good question..

Because the people who make the videos have already wasted $700 on one phone, they can't afford another $700 for each case that exists unless the companies who make the cases pay for it as advertising, and even then it would be a bias test because of the sponsorship.

Definitely should be drop tests with cases. The whole point of those cushioned cases is to protect it from falling damage.

I don't mind if companies put examples on the net.

I would imagine most companies wouldn't put out their own videos as it would be seen as advertising a level of protection that couldn't realistically be expected in 100% of cases where someone drops their phone. They would be opening themselves up for lawsuits which most small companies just couldn't afford to challenge or settle.

That and most companies couldn't afford the amount of phones the would have to get through to test dropping a new phone (they couldn't just keep using the same one until it broke) on multiple surfaces (carpet, tarmac, concrete, etc) and from different heights.

Yeah I think so
