I have used all my iPhones (3G, 3GS, 4S, currently 6S) without a case. Cases are pretty much always uglier than the phone itself. They add extra cost to an already expensive phone. They make the phone thicker, bulkier. They wear out and become very ugly/dirty after a few months. Ofcourse you can replace it, but that's more costs.
The 6S is unstable laying on its back, thanks to the camera. The unstableness removes a bit of the 'magic'. It feels bad using a wobbly product. You shouln't have to use a case. That's just bad design.
- signal11 9y agoI used my iPhone 5 without a case and I have to agree, the 5 was beautiful. The 6S I now have is too slippery to use without a case, though (even ignoring the 'unstable on its back' argument). I would definitely buy a thicker phone though, especially if it gave me better battery life.
- endemic 9y ago> That's just bad design. It's _terrible_ design IMO. Of course all of Apple's promotional photography show the beautiful hardware, sans case. But in reality, the phones have glass backs, and are not designed to withstand any sort of physical abuse. So there's dissonance between what Apple is creating vs. how it is actually used.
- scarface74 9y agoOne of the major complaints about Apple is form over function. If they wanted a better camera, they needed a thicker lens. Either they would have had to increase the width of the entire phone,make it slanted, or have the bump.
