I hate cases and think they make the phone totally bulky. The strap for the 5th pen iPod touch is what should be on every iPhone. Apple often comes up with good ideas but fails to execute on them properly.

I hate breaking my phone. Cases may not be pretty, but they’re pragmatic. Also FYI: literally no one cares how your phone looks.

  Bulk isn’t just about looks, it’s about function. The bulkier the phone (including any case, if using one), the harder it is to hold and use in one hand. Apple’s announcement of the iPhone mini is a pretty clear indication that they believe there is still a market for smaller phones.

    For me rather than use a phone with a case I'd prefer the manufacturer just make the phone larger so it can be handle day to day life without a protective sleeve.

      The best materials for protection are soft ones like silicone, plastic or leather. Soft materials wear down, so you wouldn't want them to be built-in to your $1000 phone. Better to have a $2 case you can swap out when it wears down (and it let's people customize their phone to suit their style)

  When I had a cute phone[1], I would get random complements, so some people do care. [1] I got lots of compliments with a blue-green Nextbit Robin, and some, and fewer but still many with a blue Nokia windows phone(well it was black, but in a blue cover), an orange Blu windows phone, and a blue-green Google(LG) Nexus 5x.

  I have AppleCare+ so I don't worry about breaking my phone at all. If it happens I just drop it into the Apple Store and get it back about 2 hours later.

Do people actually drop their phones much while using it? I feel like most of the time you drop it by knocking if off of a table, or dropping it while pulling it out of your pocket, where a wrist strap wouldn't help. And I think Apple actually is much better at execution than coming up with new ideas. A lot of the things they do (iPad, face ID, notch, airpods, airdrop) are not new ideas, just executed better.

  I haven’t had a case on my iPhone X in at least a year. The only damage is a very slight crack in the glass surrounding the camera lens (not the lens itself)
