You can’t go wrong with Spigen. Their hybrid cases are slim and offer good protection for drops. Their screen protectors fit the cases well and don’t jut out.

It’s definitely weird that your screen protector is that thick. Keep it on for a few months until you see the coating wearing off and creating smudges when you use it and then replace it.

Just because it’s blacklisted doesn’t mean it was stolen - there isn’t an iCloud lock on it and everyone knows how to use that by now. What most likely happened is that the original owner stopped paying their bill to att and sold their iPhone for quick cash or potentially insurance fraud. Att will get their money as the original owner is still dented to them, so no I’m not encouraging theft.

I don’t wanna jinx you and I know it’s still technically possible, but I think the defender and applecare combined is overkill lol.. I’m a landscaper, constantly working in harsh environment and situations and when I’ve had my phone in an otterbox it has survived literally everything. Never broke one in an otterbox yet. It’s landed on pavement, uneven stone beds, in dirt, off the back of a 7 foot dump truck with me holding it higher than the 7 feet while standing in the back of it, my phones have been through the ringer in my line of work and the otterbox itself didn’t even have damage let alone the phone lol. I wouldn’t cancel the apple care, but running an otterbox seems over kill if you have it insured lol.. I mean even if you shattered the front and the back at the same time, it would cost basically the same price as an otterbox is since the repairs are $29 for each glass panel lol. Hell some otterbox’s you’d spend less repairing the phone than you would buying an otterbox lol. Plus they changed the policy and you have unlimited claims now in applecare so you could run the phone nude and get it fixed unlimited times for cheap. To me that’s less than I used to spend on cases each year. Especially since it’s hardly ever dropped. Hell I used to drop my phones more in a case than without one cause I was more careless. But to each their own haha. Doomsday phone prep to your hearts desires friend. 😅

If you can’t hold your phone in your hands and dropping it is usual thing for you then definitely you need a case, like my gf, but if you like me and your phone can be dropped only from hands of others than don’t buy a case and don’t give your phone to those who will likely drop it, show it from your hands. It’s pretty easy

LOL. My upgrade path is the same, and I think I can guess what your issue is.

Do you type mostly one-handed, and that too with your left hand? I ask because in my case, I’ve discovered that my palm right around the thumb has been touching the 123 key on the left bottom corner randomly, especially if I’m reaching towards the right-side keys.

One solution is to enable left-handed or right-handed keyboards. Instructions: https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/type-with-the-onscreen-keyboard-iph3c50f96e/ios

If you do this, then you can minimize palm contact.

I know you asked for no replies from people who do not understand Rsim.

But are you not encouraging iPhone theft by buying black listed phones?

Who ever sold you that phone should be punished one way or the other. If phone is black listed by mistake, get it fixed.

As far as I understand, it can be used to unlock for another country but it won’t help with the blacklist in the same country where the blacklist occurred. I would double check with the site where you buy the RSIM.
