OK guys, I need a recommendation for a good case; iPhone 7S.
My daughter has had phones for less than 2 years now and has just broken her 4th screen. I mean, it's so shattered that I swear she's doing it on purpose. I am not about to fix it again for her, but when she finally cries enough to get my wife to fix it (it's inevitable,) I want to make her get the biggest, gnarliest, I-don't-care-if-it's-ugly phone case there is. I want a nuclear-hardened facility shrunk down to phone case size and that's what I'll go with.
Of course, I want it to cost less than the phone itself. (Much, much less - those iPhones are ridiculous!!!)
Any suggestions?

I did just purchase a Supcase brand "Unicorn Beatle" case for our iPad 9.7 and it is pretty decent really. Fair price.

Like hut said. Otter box. Expensive, 50,60 bucks. Quality, and yes, bulky.
My friends daughter pulls the same shit as yours- breaks screens all the time. She knows daddy will get her a new one.
Time to pull the phone until she is responsible enough to have one..
What others said..otter box.
The Shop
It is just a small crack across lower left corner. I bought a tempered glass screen guard with a black border to hide the crack.

If she breaks another one after that tell her you're not fixing it and you're choosing the next phone for her. Get the biggest, ugliest, cheapest phone available. Guarantee she'll be begging you for a new iPhone and will be careful with it. She won't want to be seen with the ugly ass phone. You know how teenager's are.

I'm not so sure about 'tempered'. Shards get created. Very sharp ones.
I have a case for my S7 I found on Ebay. If you search gorilla glass, you would likely find it. It's the screw together one. Recommended by a friend. Tough as a brick for sure, and has the heft of one too. Not sure I would get another one - I was looking for protection first and found it with this one, but holy crap it's big & bulky.
Anyway, it took a hard hit to the corner from being thrown into a concrete floor. Thought my phone was toast. Didn't hurt it a bit, but the corner of the 'tempered' glass was all cracked. It didn't break into pieces right away. But over more time, a couple weeks, a shard dislodged into my pocket. Where I found it with my finger. I put some tape over it 'for now' to keep the glass in place and stop any more shards from coming off. Later drove the phone into the floor again & did the same thing to the opposite corner. So now I have tape over that corner too. At least Tuck Tape matches the red case. Since the first hit I have been trying to decide & find what to get next. I have an Otter Box Commuter from when I first got the phone, but it doesn't have any screen protection besides one of those flimsy dust film things. Thought I found new glass for the case I have, but after taking 2 months to get here from Taiwan or China or wherever - it was too small.
Not saying all 'tempered' glass protectors will go to shards, but this one did. So curious what happened to others when theirs got broken.
