Other Do you use a case on your iPhone? [MERGED]

I thought about getting one with felt/microfiber, but then realized not only does it add thickness, it prevents the phone from dispersing heat properly, which can degrade battery faster (plus charge slower and potentially cause thermal throttling)
Wow they really just keep getting bigger and bigger huh.. I have the 6s and X still and the difference in camera size is pretty funny. I remember when people were upset that the newer iPhones had a camera bump at all, as they initially were fully flush inside the phone body so the phone could lie flat.
The 6s has a single lens very slightly jut out from body.. my X has a small dual lens jut out just a little more… it’s fully flush with a case on. My 15 pro really showed how much it’s changed.. it’s become quite garish (on nearly all phones of course not just apple). I guess it’s the only way to deliver the improved image quality.
Damn I miss the 11 Pro form factor. Not a better phone in a leather case than that, period. Last of the phones to be able to sit flat on their back in any reasonable or apple case.
anyone clean their clear case with soap and water once in awhile? theres always fingerprints no matter where you place it and your hands. and i use a towel to dry the water off or sometimes cloth to clear the fingerprints off.
I usually submerge my case under water and clean it with soap once per month before propping it up in the kitchen and leaving it to dry off overnight. I’ll use that opportunity to make sure the phone is clean also and remove any lint in the grills along with grime around the paintwork.
The device always looks brand new after it has been cleaned.
Same here. I sell my old iPhones after 2 or 3 years of use and I want it looking as best it can when I go to resell it.
I've never really used cases since I've always had Apple Care but I am now after Apple downgraded my trade in value for my regular 14 from $430 to $100 (I answered all the questions completely honestly--I answered "no" to "is it in good condition" also no to cracks, yes to perfect working order...the only damage is cosmetic--scuffs on the corners). Better to use a case if you plan on selling or trading in I guess (even though I think $100 is absurd).
I’ve been using the Apple silicone cases for year and really love them. For a while I tried some other brands and found some lovely colour variations but I ended up going back to the Apple ones as the MagSafe they use seems to the be best implementation.
One note: it always takes a few days to ‘break in’ a new silicone case - they’re a little slippery on day one but become quite grippy. A nice feeling.

All my iPhone 15 Pro Max case. 😅🥰🤩
I think the same, the touch of chewing gum that the cover gets after the weeks is very pleasant. On an iPhone 15 Pro they are ideal.
The grippiness is great for the hand but not the pocket. I actually had to stop using my case because almost every time I took my phone out of my pocket, it would catch the pocket material and pull it inside out, and I’d have to stuff my pocket back in. Super annoying.
Which one do you use iPhone 15 Pro or 15 Pro Max? The silicone case for the Pro Max is too thick and heavy. It is intended to be ideal only in the No Max models.
Neither haha, I have an SE3. Also it was a third party silicone case, though pretty high quality (at the time I think there were only two color options for Apple cases), but it sounded like the same situation where it was only slightly grippy at first then became very grippy after awhile.
But I was also kind of glad to get rid of it because it added bulk. Gonna get a skin just for the grip but in the meantime I used some tape which actually worked fine except it fell off after awhile haha.
