I'm getting a new case for my PC, and I've heard some people say that motherboards can break if they're not carried properly. I'm still a beginner in the PC-building world, so I'm not sure if I should be worried about this. How should I carry a motherboard to avoid any damage?

I honestly can't see how carrying it could be an issue. Maybe if you had a really heavy CPU cooler and were jumping on a trampoline while holding the board, there might be a problem!
You can usually hold the motherboard by the edges, the IO ports, or even the CPU cooler if it's attached. It's actually pretty tough, so as long as you handle it gently, you should be just fine!
If you're talking about how you literally carry the motherboard, it shouldn't be a problem unless you're really rough with it. Just don’t go tossing it around, and you’ll be okay!
Oh, that's a relief! I’ve seen some people act like you’d break it just by holding it too tightly.
