HTC knew what was up with the HTC One series. Their polycarbonate bodies felt Nintendo 64 controller levels of durable.
I've got a drawer that has a stack of my old phones and devices in it. Among them is the CD MP3 player I've had since high school. It's 24 years old, made entirely of plastic, it followed me all the way through high school and part of the way through college, and it's in perfect working condition and bears only light scuffs. It might be my midlife crisis coming on but I'm tempted to start using the thing again instead of my smart phone. My PC tower has a 5 1/4" bay, I'm tempted to install an optical drive in it.
I still move a 5.25" Blu Ray writer drive between machines. Just in case I want to rip or watch an old bluray.
Without it, we have to sit.and wait for the dusty Xbox One to update just so it let's us play a bluray.
The Xbox One is so fantastically bad, the only reason it's not in the garbage is because it's not mine and the SO wants to save it
