Good luck trying to find someone who'll do that, but have a look around this forum/use search etc. there are plenty of people posting their dropage stories.

Unfortunately what I have gathered from the majority of these is that the plastic material is very brittle and some users have been posting pictures of the cap being cracks with gaps or hairline cracks from often pretty minor drops.

The white variant also is not fully white plastic, but black-painted-white plastic so when this is chipped the black shows through.

So just don't drop it!

hello

I did not test it

but I think that XS is extremely weak
It's doesn't have gorilla so should be breakable as ice
plastic is eco green and get glossy as soon as it possible so it isn't soft plastic so breakable too I think

I don't wish You all to drop it

The bottom cover is the only weak part of the SXS, the rest of the phone will survive the drop.

I would be willing to drop mine, if people donated at least 2 third of the cost of the phone, or I would be happy to donate to someone who is also willing...

kinda get scared at the thought dropping it deliberately
