Men just don't listen! Well, not all men..

I swear by my tempered glass screen protectors for my phone because, I drop my phone all the time - though I would prefer not to - it happens and saves my phone! During the year & half span of owning my current phone, I probably went through 4 tempered glass protectors. And, currently my protector needs to be changed out because it's cracked in multiple areas. The tempered glass screen protectors help prevent your device screen from being shattered. I even put protectors on my parents' iPad & iPad mini. Now with my boyfriend, I got him one for his iPad and he refuses to use it - saying he won't ever drop it. Guess what? He recently dropped his iPad & now it's cracked on the corner - still accessible though! But, only if he listened to me - he then wouldn't have a cracked iPad. Can you relate? Men, being hard headed and not listening! Any men want to agree to disagree?

I guess it could also be said for you ladies at times, some of us listen and some don't. I listen, I'm a good listener, what do you want to tell me, I'm all ears :) So far I've been lucky and never have a broken screen but my son who is 18, I've lost count the number so screens he;s broken over the last few years. He had a new phone at the beginning of December and within two weeks the screen was broken, it beats me.

@kevin1877uk I don't think insurance covers phone drops does it?

You fall under the not all men category, that's a keeper! I hope you find your lucky lady one day! I broken phones screens in the past (just left it like that) when I didn't know of tempered glass screen protectors. If you use those thin film ones they won't do anything! The tempered glass ones totally helps and if your phone were to fall or anything the impact would be on the tempered glass which is awesome! Do you typically fix his phone every time he breaks it? Or as a lesson he has to deal with it until he saves his own money to fix it.

@moffittjc too late now for him But I'd do the same too :) His iPad is relatively old now so it doesn't matter as much but he's keeping it since we have free data on it for its lifespan. Instead of upgrading a new iPad he got a new iMac a few months ago.

Mine won't listen to the voice of reason. He will argue a point until I just go silent and let him think he is right. Later on he will realize that what I had said actually may have been helpful afterall. But, the realization comes a little too late.

Don't you have that phone back-cover that has a ring on it to prevent your phone from falling?

Sometimes men are just stubborn and don't listen to the good suggestions. Perhaps they need to learn from a big lesson and then next time they will not make the same mistake

Yeah I have to agree with that. You already know what happened to my tablet. And my phone is in a slightly better condition, but not sure how long that will last. Despite my wife's constant demand to buy a protective phone house. Happy new year!

My husband can be stubborn at times, but he usually comes around. He did tape up my old iPad which I dropped twice. It works fine, but I bought a new one with a screen protector. Lol!

Men are hard headed. They feel for the most part they know everything and it is until sometime we said to them that makes a whole of a difference is when they may acknowledge what we may have told them. Its that alpha male genes lol

People can be very stubborn and only learn from their own mistakes. I love the tempered glass screen I have on my ipod although I do not drop it often it is much safer with the glass cover.

I am very protective when it comes to my belongings and I do not need a woman to tell me I simply do not want to use anything with some kind of damage or scratch.

Haha well given that he's had iPad for years he's taken great care of it. Accidents happen, he surely didn't want to drop it he's due for a new iPad now but doesn't want to upgrade since we have free data on there, so he upgraded his iMac instead :)

Most of the time my husband has to try his way first but he does afterward admit I was right and tell me he should have listened to me the first time. Lol. So at least he admits he's stubborn and should listen to me more. =)
