Men’s names make up the top-three clumsy fools, with James, David and Paul most likely to drop and smash their precious smartphone. Indeed the butter-fingered top 10 includes nine men’s names, and the top 20 has 18 cack-handed males.

Sarah is the clumsiest female name (at #4), with Emma (#13) and Laura (#21) coming second and third in the women’s phone-fumbling Olympics.

iPhones take the top nine places for the most frequently repaired phones, followed by the Samsung.

James and Sarah should be looking to Black Friday and Christmas for a sturdy phone case. Check out our roundups of the best cases for iPhone X, best cases for iPhone Xr, best cases for iPhone Xs, and best cases for Samsung Galaxy S9.

In 2017 iSmash announced Leeds as the most ham-fisted town, followed by Nottingham, Bristol and Newcastle. Swansea and London had the least bungling populations
