This was my primary phone well past its planned obsolescence. Eventually I dropped it and shattered the back, though it still functions surprisingly well for a phone that's eight years old. I have a slim protective case (not pictured) that I would advise you continue to use. If you need a phone ASAP and don't care about the cosmetics, you could do a whole lot worse than this one.
This phone still takes better pictures than my newer iPhone smdh
