MOLNLYCKE, Sweden-According to a recent retailer survey in Sweden, the second-leading cause of broken mobile phones is squeezing them too hard in a pair of tight pants.
The survey, conducted by phone case vendor Krusell International AB, found the leading cause of broken phones is dropping the phones on the ground, followed by tight pants. The company surveyed 300 Swedish mobile-phone retail outlets to determine the most common ways people break their mobile phones.
Aside from dropping the phone and squeezing it in a pair of tight pants, the survey found other most common accidents included using the phone in the rain; throwing it on the ground in anger; a dog or child got a hold of it; and dropping it in the toilet.
