Your appreciation of smartphones reminds me of me. I 'caught the wave' with a Treo 650 nearly a dozen years ago and haven't looked back. I have every phone that I ever purchased dating to May of 2000; they all still work. When Samsung elected to strip the Note 5 of its micro SD slot I 'looked' at LG's V10; then bought two of them. One was for my fiancée as an early Christmas present. The only videos which exist of my fiancée playing with her six-month-old granddaughter are on our V10s (backed-up elsewhere of course). My sweetheart passed away, suddenly, in early April when health issues stemming from surgery in 2011 overtook her. Her V10 is just as she left it on the evening when she died; I charge the battery every couple of weeks but I intend to place it in dry storage at some point. We shared a love of many things which included cool phones. So, as a tribute to her I'm going to visit the places where we were planning to go this summer and take a slew of pictures and video. I don't intend to bring anyone down in my going all maudlin here but with my sweetie and I our devices were an integral part of our trips, ramblings and times together.
I wouldn't say very easy. Something soft like a standard steel razor blade should be ok. But something hard like sand would probably scratch it.
I appreciate your thoughtful affirmation. We're still sorting things out as the grief dissipates naturally. I was a widower going into this relationship. My life has been solidly anchored or 'bookend-ed' in my being privileged to have had a good wife when I was a young fellow and a lovely, caring woman as I grew older. My daughter will join me on several trips, going into the autumn, and she is a smartphone aficionado too; her phone is a Note 5 of all things. Thank you, very much.
My first smart phone was the N-Gage. Taco calling was cool!
