I would expect someone with your train of thought to especially want to buy a case. I'm curious why you take the risk? There are circumstances beyond your control and ability to predict sometimes. Ever mind your own business on the street, and then people in a rush violently crash into you? In order to break your fall, you have to let go of your phone and it falls, and those who made you fall are long gone? Yeah, it hasn't happened to me either. The point is that there are situations you can't predict, and besides that, you can't always be perfect either. I'm certainly not claiming to be perfect, hence the case.

To be blunt, I have functional fingers and situational awareness. I actually hold on to my phone, and if I need to look at it, I don't stand around randomly in the middle of a path where people need to move through. If I don't think I can use my phone safely, I wait. That probably sounds a little bit sanctimonious, but it's the truth. I have broken exactly one phone in my entire phone-owning life (since 2002), I've had 6 phones during this time, 4 feature phones and 2 smartphones. So one accident in 16 years, and that was a Sony Ericsson Elm. It was actually what pushed me to finally get a smartphone, so maybe it was a net positive :-)

  I've had zero accidents in my entire phone-owning life since 2004, including 3 smartphones. I still prefer the safety of cases. To me, you don't sound sanctimonious, you sound arrogant and risk-seeking. To each their own, I guess. I think cases are worth it and don't care about any of the alleged negatives. Others think differently.

    If you knew me, you wouldn't call me risk-seeking, at least not in any large capacity. Arrogant maybe, but that's because I'm usually right about most things ;-)
