Re: Actually getting slightly worse, they used to be 7/10

That's where we differ. I buy a case for my phone on day 1. I prefer a simple slip-on TPU case (today I own this one https://goo.gl/images/ijQPSp). If it falls on flat concrete, I just pick it up with a "tut tut" and keep on reading.
And I also buy a Naztech Gladiator holster to carry it in. Those work well for me. YMMV. There's a matte screen protector as well.
It's a shame I don't get to show off the aesthetic beauty of the original case, but it's not why I bought the phone.
