All too many smartphone users are familiar with the disastrous feeling of losing grip of a precious, expensive piece of technology and feeling the panic as it slips from one's hand and falls to the ground below. Sometimes, it can be picked up with a sigh of relief, but more often, the smartphone owner is left with a spiderweb of a shattered screen. In this cracked screens compilation of data, [Motorola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-phone-experimentation) provides some insight into when, where and why this happens.

The cracked screens infographic is part of a clever campaign for Motorola's Droid Turbo 2. Choosing to focus on a simple, unique and powerful feature, Motorola has made the Turbo 2's [un-crackable screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoshield-airx) the major focus of advertising for the new smartphone.
