I'm not sure these are good examples.
Casual photographers don't baby their cameras. They simply don't know the abuse tolerance their camera has as well as professionals that use them every day. It's perfectly reasonable to be careful with expensive tools that you aren't used to.
Phones are different of course, but mine is slippery and uncomfortable to use. A plastic case actually enhances its usability, as well as protects it.
- Phemist 4y agoWithout a case, my samsung A51, when lying on the screen-side, simply slides off the table after a while. Any table. Not sure what the mechanism of action is here, but I guess it's too smooth?...

- julian_t 4y agoI'm careful with my phones but don't like cases, and I solved the slippery phone problem with some non-slip tape - a couple of strips on the back meant the phone didn't slide, and didn't add bulk. It has worked well for several years, but I can't seem to find the same stuff any more.
- Phemist 4y agoIt's not such an issue when it's lying on its back, as the camera sticks out slightly and I guess adds enough friction that it doesn't start to move. The front is the issue. My current case is a hard plastic case that lifts up the screen, so it will never touch the table. Maybe a screen protector would work as well, but I really don't like those.
