Riding without a bicycle helmet is just never a good idea, whether you've ever hit your head or not doesn't factor into it :P
I think at least 2 people I work with don't have cases. For me I think it's more about function than protection at this point. Phones are so damn thin they're actually kind of uncomfortable to hold compared to one with a case, and I feel more likely to drop it without a case. I always get a case with some kind of kickstand which I use often enough to feel is justified.
I have a case on my $79 Motorola lol. Even if I ever bought a $1000 phone (I wouldn't) I would still put a case on it. Unless I trying to flex 💪🏼
I always use a case, protecting my investment is crucial! There are randoms I see out in the wild who don't use cases and have very damaged devices.
I don't use protective cases with any of my phones. I've read that phone cases can cause them to overheat, as they trap the heat in and seeing that my phones already get pretty hot after most gaming sessions, I just don't use them.
I do, however, have pop sockets for all of my phones and when I leave the house, I always carry my phones in a purse when I'm not using them.
I always have a case. Basically every phone I’ve tried has felt too slippery without one to me, so I get one that’s a little more grippy
I even put a case on a rugged phone. It does look a bit ridiculous.
I have one older phone that feels really nice without case, but I too put it in one, a wallet case, because it's a secondary device, and thus is often in worse places. Possibly even a pocket with keys.
I've used phones without cases before, and never broke one. However, I did get to find out that one of them, new enough to have USB-C, had plastic camera lenses. Archos 55DC, to shame it.
I was surprised by the name. They used to make really interesting hardware back in the early 2010s. Seems they’ve faded into a rebranded phone company. A bit sad, actually.
I used to not use a case, because I had a ruggedized hiking phone that didn't need one.
Seems like most people prefer cases based on what I see around me. Personally I don't like the additional bulk plus I'm careful enough with handheld objects to not drop them. Haven't destroyed any phone so far.
I have a screen protector but no outer case. Q
I didn't for a long time, but I did eventually get the most basic, thinnest black rubber "sleeve" I could fine just to prevent basic slipping. Nothing to protect falling really.
I use one because it had one in the box. Otherwise, I would've purchased one since the back is prone to scratches and degradation. It also adds a level of protection to the phone.
I believe that if a phone would've needed a case/screen protector, it would had it just built in (i.e. made the actual phone casing/screen stronger). And that's what modern phones have: gorilla glass, metal in the casing etc.
I use a phone w/o a case, I dropped it multiple times, its metal bezels have successfully protected it so far - the screen hasn't cracked.
I’ve not used a case in years. I drop it regularly when I’m at home on the carpet, but outside of that, it might get dropped from hip height once a year. I’ve only ended up with a hairline crack on a single phone in 15 years of owning them.
I always use a case and can't really think of anyone I know who doesn't.
Most people I know have cases on their phones, yeah.
But in case it is helpful my own phone (Pixel 7) has no case/screen protector. Also my phone has cracks on the back and one corner so this tracks :P (but otherwise it has held up quite well)
Pixel 7 here as well. I tried going ceaseless for the first time since I had a Casio Gz'One and dear dog, it's too damn slippery with the glass back. Regrettably, despite having a case, I managed to crack the screen anyway. It fell face down onto a pointy rock. My first broken screen, ever.
Kind of like that it's a bit slippery, makes it easy to slide into my pocket. A case would just feel too bulky and and would need more force to get in/out of my jean pockets (IMO).
Regrettably, despite having a case, I managed to crack the screen anyway. It fell face down onto a pointy rock. My first broken screen, ever.
Oof yeah I sympathize :) My previous Pixel had a screen protector on it and I still managed to crack the screen by dropping the phone on a corner and getting a nice little corner crack. After that I figured why keep bothering with these protectors haha.
No case, no problems so far. I've had numerous phones over the last 20 years, never had a case, and never had an issue. Don't drop your phones.
I did buy a case for my son's first phones, but I wouldn't suggest he need one now. He is certainly old enough to take care with it.
I do, cuz i got a quadlock mount for it on my bike
I used a Dbrand skin for awhile.
I have a friend who put the money into Screen Protector & AppleCare instead of a case
I used to but now I'm using a very thin case from Latercase. I'd say cases are the norm.
I don't use one, though my phone is second hand and I charge it wirelessly. A case would make it change worse
I use a case to add magsafe to my android phone, because I like the magnetic holder/charger idea ,na swish all phones had it built in.
I have a cheap, clear magsafe case for my Pixel 9.
I also have a screen protector, and when I have the phone out of the case, it feels weird in my hand when I brush the edge of the screen protector.
Case and screen protector. This phone cost me over a grand, and you only need to drop it once.
Would you drive a car without a seatbelt?
I stopped using a case a couple phones ago. Haven't broken anything yet and my last phone was 7 when it stopped getting security updates and I had to move on.
My wife always uses a case and screen protector and has still broken more than one.
I don't have a case on my work phone. I carry two phones so I don't need the extra bulk and if it breaks oh no I have to get a newer phone!
My friend Greg does. I don’t get it.
I don't get u
I left my phone fall for the firsr tine when I was in line to pay for it. I could never not use a case.
I have a had a Samsung fold since it came out so yeah
