How are you going to protect your new iPhone X?

[pat500000]

probably Apple leather case in the color they're calling cosmos blue..
assuming they'll have a version for the X

..i've used one of these for a 5s and a 6s.. the 5s version lasted me about 18months.. the 6s is still good after two years (and surprisingly, the phone itself is still good even though i've dropped it at least 50 times)..

i like how they feel and i like the amount of protection they provide (ie- 'some' protection).

so yeah, i'll probably just keep that going since i haven't had a reason to look elsewhere.

ff, you getting x as well?

yeah.. i get a new phone every two years.. i've gone 3G, 3Gs, 4s, 5s, 6s..

but now, instead of getting what i felt were the better products (version 2 of a model), i'm back to guinea pigging like i did with the 3G..
oh well.. i'm looking forward to trying it out.

i just hope the X version 2 isn't considerably better than version 1 or else Apple might trick me out of another $1000 next year instead of my normal schedule in 2019

have you gotten a similar color in the past? Wondering how it wears. I have used the saddle brown leather for a the last couple years and it looks great after a couple months of wear.

the 5s had a light blue color which got dirty looking fairly soon.. didn't bother me but maybe others would care more.
the one i have now is called midnight blue (i think that's what it's called).. so a lot darker of a blue and yeah, it still looks good after 2 years..
seems like this 'cosmos blue' might be similar in that regard.

No case. At best may go 4S and put a back glass protector.

 

[jetjaguar]

AppleCare+ and maybe a matte black dbrand skin for the back

Could you post a photo of the “wear?” Considering going with a different color this time around, besides saddle brown

 

[TheAppleFairy]

I plan on keeping mine at the Apple retail store, new in box unpaid for. Should remain in mint condition.

 

[applewatch]

I wish Apple made a leather case with an open button design.

 

[Hater]

Nothing.

My phones usually have a broken screen within a week or so and I don't plan the next one to be any different

they wear.. the darker colors disguise it better..

for reference, this thing is in the following environment on nearly a daily basis




[edit]
for another reference, here's a lighter color on an iPhone 5... it's been functioning as an iPod in the same environment above.. about 4 years now..
pretty haggard

possibly naked for the first time but MAY add on a leather skin to the back at the least. depending on how much i like the back naked. time will tell.
