I've never had that problem with my iPhone 5.The flat sided iPhones are horrible in hand so ever since the 12 I’ve used Apple leather cases.

Neither did I, I mentioned that in my post. 😂I've never had that problem with my iPhone 5.
An earlier post?Neither did I, I mentioned that in my post. 😂
Did you not read the whole post..?An earlier post?
The one I quoted you on said 'ever since the 12'.
back when the 4-5S were current they were so small I didn’t need to worry about how it felt in hand so never used a case at all.
Nope. I fixated on the first sentence and when I quoted you, I deleted the bottom. My fault.Did you not read the whole post..?
No worries, happens to the best of us!Nope. I fixated on the first sentence and when I quoted you, I deleted the bottom. My fault.
I went back and re-read it. My apologies.
Does anybody actually clean their phones when they slap a case onto it? I reckon it’s basic hygiene but most people seem to forget that their phones are germ magnets. I am absolutely baffled at the claims that hair, dust and grime work their way into phones because I’ve been using cases religiously for 8 years and have never seen that happen to my own personal devices. I do clean my phone once per week, or every other week, though which involves removing it from the case, cleaning the case and the phone with a wet cloth and some liquid soap. The whole case normally gets submerged and thoroughly cleaned in the process and the phone has every bit of dirt removed from it. The whole process takes no longer than 5 minutes. I have seen a lot of friends with disgusting phones who otherwise appear to be clean people. Such a strange paradox.I did a case on my first one, but decided it did more harm than good. Since then my phones have gone nude.
Not for me.
- Makes the phone bulkier
- If it's grippy, it makes the phone more difficult to access
- More likely to snag on something and tumble to the ground
- Unattractive, even if minimalist or clear
- Detracts from the iPhone's premium appearance
- Dust, grime, hair, and pet fur works its way between the case and the phone
- Risks damage to the phone when removed/put back on
I don't recall the manufacturer. I tried a few and settled on the best of a hideous lot. It was a slim, hard-backed clear case with rubberized hard plastic sidewalls and reinforced rubber corner guards.Also, which cases cause damage to phones?
Well I’ve never seen a case that’s so hard that it could cause damage to a phone by separating both the body and screen. One crappy case doesn’t prove your point though because, like I said, I’ve been using cases from different manufacturers for almost a decade without causing even so much as a scratch on any of my devices. I always purchase premium cases though and never cheap out. Tech 21, Otterbox, Spigen and Apple are the brands I tend to gravitate towards because I trust them to make cases which are designed to protect phones and not destroy them.I don't recall the manufacturer.

The particular case I had was a 1-piece affair that popped over the device from the back, securing with a lip just over the edge of the glass. The case dragging over the buttons when being taken on and off concerned me, and I wasn't a fan of how difficult pressing the buttons through a case was. Nonetheless, I thought I needed it and persisted in using it. Everyone told me the phone should have a case. Continual removal of the case for cleaning eventually caused a slight separation of the glass from the body and reduced touch sensitivity in the area where that separation took place. After I noticed the separation happening, I stopped removing the case regularly for cleaning, since doing so would cause more damage, and the lip of the case helped to secure the separated glass in place. This is when the case became positively disgusting inside.
When I eventually got a new phone, I thought through the life of the previous one and couldn't account for a single drop that wasn't the case's fault (getting snagged on something, being difficult to pull out of a pocket due to the rubberized edges, etc). That, plus the damage and the filth led me to seeing how things would go without a case. I'm sure there are cases out there that don't have these problems, but since I've been getting along fine without, I can't see going back.
I've gone caseless for more than 5 years, and the only noticeable damage has been a small scuff on one corner of the glass on an old iPhone 8 due to falling hard onto pavement a few months before I replaced it with a 13. I slipped and the phone went flying. These phones don't get enough credit for how tough they actually are.
There is this, You are carrying the best part of $2000 bucks worth of smartphone butt naked in a dangerous world of hard surfaces. I have covers for my test instruments, Pelican cases for my ham radios. bugout bags for antennas. and I am going to leave my iPhone "naked to the world" (Eric Burdon, and War 1970) nope! 😁I've never used a case on any of my phones. However, I might look into one if I get the 15 PM.
I pay for AppleCare+, so I can get a replacement if I break it. I've not needed to use it, though.There is this, You are carrying the best part of $2000 bucks worth of smartphone butt naked in a dangerous world of hard surfaces.

Leather, silicone or clear?I use the Apple Case. Clearly it isn’t working lol
I don’t even know when or how it happened. I grabbed the phone this morning and noticed that the camera area was broken, removed the case and saw the whole back cracked.
Thankfully it was only my phone from work
