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

[speechmaker]

The major reason I use a case is to enable me to handle the phone roughly. That way with a case on, I don’t have to think twice about throwing/sliding the phone onto a table. Also when it falls, the side edge protection saves the screen from cracks.
Also conversely I want to hide the Apple logo but love iOS so... 🤪

Its only been a few hours, but as a non case user, the 17 Pro feels way better in my hand than the 16 Pro. The 16 hurt my hands like crazy. I guess its the material change? We’ll see if this lasts but for now Im happy

Obviously yes, only very rich people can afford not to use it and change phone whenever they want.

For the same “logic”, only clumsy people need case because they drop phone.

Human beings are clumsy by nature.

I got my Air yesterday. No way am I putting a case on it (for now) lol looks and feels so good naked.

I just use Apple's silicone back case. It's not bulky and feels better in hand. I've tried 3rd party silicone cases, but they seem to age quickly and doesn't have the same feel.

Typically no. I've owned most generations of the iPhone since OG iPhone, and only dropped my phone 4 times. Once on concrete (iPhone X).

I've never smashed front or back glass touchwood. Although now that i've put this out there i expect this record will now go south.

I use a screen protector and skins instead.

Bought a leather had it on for a few hours. Using my phone case less now. Ended up getting apple care +.

Again, just at work. I like my Ringke case, just waiting for my 17PM Cosmic Orange 256GB.

If you're dropping more than $100 for a case and tempered glass, why not just get Apple Care+?

I used to go caseless with the 4-6s and around the time I got the 7, I started using cases. This year I thought about going caseless, but after seeing dents and scratches all over the web on the Pros, I am in a case now. If I had gotten the Air, I don’t think I’d be in a case.

AppleCare+ doesn’t cover cosmetic damage; only serious issues that impact the phone’s functionality, like cracked glass. On top of that, I don’t have the time to drop everything and head to the Apple Store at short notice. At the end of the day, these are tools, not fashion statements. That’s why I always use a case and screen protector, and I’ve never had a single issue with damage on any of my previous phones.

I rotate between a Jetech storm blue case and an ESR clear case.

I also have an Apple Storm Blue silicone case an a Rhinoshield case; I haven't used those 2 in a while though.

The Rhinoshield is a bit thick and its edges are sharp they hurt my fingers lol.

I feel like my phone gets hotter easily in clear cases vs other cases, I could be wrong though lol.

I took delivery of my new iPhone Air on Friday and ordered a new PITAKA carbon fiber MagSafe case for it this morning.

I have a PITAKA carbon fiber case on my 15 Pro Max and it has done a great job keeping this phone in pristine condition over the years so choosing this brand for my new iPhone was an easy decision.

 

[ucfgrad93]

I use a case and glass screen protector.

 

[raf66]

I use a case and glass screen protector.

Me too. While I’d love to be able to go caseless, I just don’t trust myself.

Ringke Fusion case and Spigen tempered glass screen protector on my new 17PM.
