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

[stanza.richi]

Every time I use a case on my iPhone, I reminds why I love it caseless. And these is so true with the air.

I always use a case. I love the feel of a naked iPhone, but one accidental drop can be an expensive mistake. A good case helps prevent unnecessary scratches and everyday wear.

Spoke to someone today with a Cosmic Orange 17 Pro just like mine. They didn’t use a case, though, and all the edges are completely scuffed to the bare aluminium, with the colour worn off along with dents up the sides.

So glad I use a case!

Dang. Best argument I've seen to date for a case solving a real life day-to-day-wear-and-tear problem that wouldn't be covered by any warranty, since it's purely aesthetics.

Isn't the point of the cosmic orange to show off the orange though?

A friend of mine always gets AppleCare+, specifically because he sometimes drops his phone and breaks the screen. He absolutely refuses to use a case, but I just don't understand it. I have occasionally dropped my phone, but since I started buying iPhones in 2008, I have never broken an iPhone screen in all that time because I use a case.

Case for a case...

1. I'm a clumsy butterfingers klutz
2. iPhones are slippery

That's why you get a clear case, of course.

Same. I've been using iPhones since 2009, and have never broken a screen or had a single chip because I always use a glass protector and a case. Cracked many glass protectors after drops, cracked many cases too, but the phones were always fine. My iPhone 7 Plus served me 8 years and still looks almost brand new. If the WiFi wasn't dying and most apps were refusing to open because of the lack of iOS support, I'd still be using it.
