Hello, everyone. It’s Enta here. I dropped my iPhone. But! My iPhone is protected by a tempered glass screen protector and a shock-resistant case, so I wasn’t worried! Or so I thought… but the screen cracked right through the tempered glass… I dropped it on what’s called an RC (Recycle Crusher Run)…
