People started using cases for most part after the iPhone came out. Older phones were almost never used with a case, except perhaps for use case requiring a ruggedized enclosure.
- grishka 6y agoI remember some people, especially elderly, putting their (dumb) phones into those protective plastic cases. The kind where you'd push the buttons through the plastic. That was looong before the iPhone came out and when something was considered a smartphone if it ran Symbian.
- frosted-flakes 6y agoBlackBerry phones had those holster cases, and I remember my dad's first cell phone (a Nokia, around year 2000) had this fabric and clear plastic case that the antenna pokes out of (like the sibling comment describes). Even though that phone was indestructible, with big rubber buttons and a plastic screen.
