The only time I ever see caseless phones is in the movies. Everyone I know protects their phone like it costs $1k to replace it. So I’m curious, is my circle unusual or the norm?
I have used android phones without a case. Only one ended up with a crack.
I got a work phone. It’s an iPhone. Cracked screen in less than a week.
Just once and shattered my screen when the vibration motor knocked the phone of a table. 100€ later and a lot wiser, I am fully geared up.
I have a friend who put the money into Screen Protector & AppleCare instead of a case
I don’t have a case on my work phone. I carry two phones so I don’t need the extra bulk and if it breaks oh no I have to get a newer phone!
I always use a case, but I’m pretty careful with my phone. I would probably be fine without one, but I just feel better having one.
I have a case on my $79 Motorola lol. Even if I ever bought a $1000 phone (I wouldn’t) I would still put a case on it. Unless I trying to flex 💪🏼
Never use a case. Had one on my blackberry back in the day, but never since. I’m pretty careful with my phone. When I am holding it, I recognize that it’s a $500 device and needs to be treated with care. That being said, I am a strong supporter of being present in the moment and my phone usually only comes out if I need to call/text or look up some information. Unless im sitting in a vehicle or waiting room, I just don’t really use my phone much.
if you don’t use your phone very much, why even spend 500 USD on it? you can probably get a 200 usd phone to serve the same function. Honest question.
I’m on the same level as the person you responded to, but I do use a phone a lot at home. Maybe they were talking about “not at home” usage.
I bought an unlocked pixel 4a while back so I could install LineageOS and extend my phones life. Still getting updates and on the latest android version.
I think at least 2 people I work with don’t have cases. For me I think it’s more about function than protection at this point. Phones are so damn thin they’re actually kind of uncomfortable to hold compared to one with a case, and I feel more likely to drop it without a case. I always get a case with some kind of kickstand which I use often enough to feel is justified.
I use a $5 thin silicone case. Just enough to cushion the blow. I haven’t broken any phones, but I drop them a lot.
I have a pixel 9. I use a case that is slim, but larger than the bezel so when I accidentally launch it off of my lap across the room, it will survive. I can’t do thick cases.
The only reason I started using cases is because they made the latest Pixels so low friction that they refuse to stay put on most surfaces.
Pixels can move?
With the help of gravity!
I haven’t used a case in years I just have a phone warranty, costs $12/mo and if anything happens to my phone I walk into Best Buy and get a new phone.
Case for nonslip surface, and a wrist strap.
A wrist strap on your phone will change your life.
- you can dangle the phone from your wrist
- you can attach the phone to a sling like a photo grapher
- you can hang the phone from a hook or door knob
- you can hold the phone vertically on your hand without Gripping it (tension pyramid)
- on airplanes you can hang the phone from the tray table in front of you
- easy to grab the phone when your blindly groping for it
Most young people probably don’t need a wrist strap as their phone is already permanently glued to their hand.
ಠ_ಠ leave my pinky notch out of this.

Totally agree, except the tires are bald and as soon as a guy slams on the brakes in front of you, you’re rear ending him and writing it off.
