I use a case for a couple of reasons..protection sure but also i like to change up the look every so often..I’ll also use it without a case when I’m at home
No cases for phones here.
I've always used wallets to my iPhones. No phones dropped outdoors or damaged.
At home I am not always that self-aware. But no stone-floors except bathroom, don't usualy bring phones there, so devices are just fine.
I have a simple case on my iPad Mini though, as it’s bigger and don’t fit as good in the hand as the iPhone does.

Absolutely and I'm on my third screen glass now. Kids. I don't purchase a device because of aesthetics. Plus the phone's body is too slick to use in less than perfect atmospheric conditions. It's in an Otter Symmetry now, I have a different slip case at home that has a wooden back, and I'm thinking on getting a DBrand Grip soon.
someone on the other side thinks that is DOG
and
I use a clear plastic casing for the iPhone 12 mini and leave the face exposed.
I flip flop. Some days I feel like handing a case. Other days, I rock it no case style.
Never used a case in 13 years. I don’t need my phone to be any bulkier than it already is, and I much prefer the aesthetics of a “naked” phone. What’s the use of keeping a phone pristine if it’s always hidden away in a case? (Rhetorical question, I don’t care enough about possible resale value.)
I use case because it feel comfortable to hold my 12PM. I bought a clear case from Apple and it was crap!. So, I bought a Apple leather case which lasted for about a year and half. Luckly I got hold on to another case on eBay for a fraction of Apple's price. I also use a screen protector. I bought two times Belkins products but after few weeks it started coming off. So, I buy the cheapest ones. To be true, they are much better than Belkin's.
I would love to not carry a case but it's just too slippery without it. So I put a bumper around the shiny thingy, its the best compromise I can find.
In most cases the case is to retain trade in value and make it look the way u want it to look..of course u can have best of both worlds and use a case outdoors and no case at home..either way when u trade it in Apple will refurbish and then sell..it’s not like they take your phone and put it str8 on the shelf..also why not make the phone look the way u want instead of being dictated by apples 4 colors?

Yep. I've got an Apple leather case on my 14 Pro. As much as I like the look of going caseless, I really like the increased grip of the case. I just lets me worry less.
I've had most iPhones with cases since the 3GS, never cracked a screen.
I'm to butterfingers to even attempt to use my phone without a case. The only phone I've used caseless was my 5c and that was because it had a plastic back. I never really used screen protectors until I bought my 11 and I had heard that the screen on it tends to scratch very easily, so I do have a screen protector on it.
Nope, never have. These things are getting way too big as it is, I don't want any more bulk on something I carry with me literally everywhere.
One thing I've never understood is when you see people whose iPhones are so smashed up that you can barely see what's on the screen through all the shattered glass? None of my iPhones have ever had cases or screen protectors; it's not like I never drop them or knock them, but I only ever get minor scuffs/scrapes on the corners (which, frankly, I don't really care about). Have I just been exceptionally lucky?

I used a case for iPhone 3GS, then stopped for the 5, 6, and 6s. For iPhone X and now 13 Pro I use a case only at work/out of the house, and take it off when I'm home. I just want protection from obnoxious scratches that tend to happen for those mundane things like putting the phone down on a table or some corner case situation that can nick it up; I find it much less likely to happen at home (plus a chance to clean the phone with no case).
@Manek43509 I too never used a screen protector; never had a scratch on the screen (so far...)

I used to use Sean leather cases. The last couple of iPhones I switched to Apple clear silicon cases. I like the protection and I like to see the iPhone. I don’t use a screen cover.
Absolutely a case and screen protector. My 5 year old 8 Plus was in pristine condition when I traded it in for my 13PM. I got $140.00 trade in for that 5 year old phone. I use a clear Spigen crystal case so as to not hide the beauty of my extremely expensive Alpine Green iPhone 13PM.

And the winner is, overwhelmingly YES for the cases. We're right and you're wrong...

Used a case when I traveled around Italy but took it off when I got back to the states. I have a glass screen protector mostly so I can lay the phone face down when I am out and about. Other than that, no special treatment. Too nice of a phone to hide it behind a case
You can be right when you buy my next iPhone!
I knew you had a good sense of humor...You can be right when you buy my next iPhone!
