Why don't you buy him one of those cases that hook on to his jeans.
I wouldn't buy him a thing, but he does have the best case on the market that hooks to his jeans or belt.
Maybe he just tells you that, so he doesn't have to answer your calls
I only call him but one day a week to discuss schedule of his and sons visit. He usually answers. Today he answered and I guess felt led to tell me his phone got ran over this time.... Lord knows when. It was just 3 weeks ago he told me he exchanged his phone because it had funny sounds interfering on it.
Now I know. This has happened too often with his phone.
