First thing I do with any phone is put it in a case. Bezel-less is irrelevant to me, I'm going to put one in place. 'Thinnest phone ever' is similarly meaningless to me for the same reasons. I don't want a phone that feels like I'm going to snap it in half simply by using it.

iPhone user? Because I've never had the need to put a case on any of my Android phones, including me and my wife's $150 Moto G3s that get thrown around by our kids. And I do get quite some amusement out of a product praised for it's premium design, materials and svelte features always being carried in a thick ugly plastic/silicon bumper case by essentially everyone.

  That's a moot point seeing as there is a large demand for cases for all kinds of smartphones. Most people I know use a case. Last time I checked, it was something like >50% of all smartphone users.

  > iPhone user? Because I've never had the need to put a case on any of my Android phones I've had both, and cases go on both. > product praised for it's premium design, materials and svelte features Pretty sure I just said the svelte part meant nothing to me. I also really don't give a damn about the design of the phone beyond its size, I care about it's features and using it.

  > I've never had the need to put a case on any of my Android phones Me neither, but some people just manage somehow to smash a lot of phones at a record pace. No idea how they do it. There's a market for phone bumpers, and there's a reason for it.

    That market exploded dramatically because of "you're holding it wrong". Before then, it wasn't so common to see phones in bumpers.

Except phones without bezels are tough to have a good case for since having a lip around the edge to protect from a screen down drop interferes with touch screen use.
