I think the bulges are because everyone’s using a case anyway, so they may as well bump out. Unless someone’s doing the “I care so little about protecting several hundred dollars that I use an expensive phone without a case” thing.
- vel0city 2y agoI never use cases and I haven't had a phone break from physical damage in over a decade. Phones these days are pretty dang durable. I really don't want a giant brick in my pocket.
- layer8 2y agoI never used a case and know a number of other people who don’t.
- kingofthehill98 2y agoI never used a case in my life, owned like 6 phones since my first Galaxy back in 2012. Much rather deal with a few scratches than touching some cheap case instead of the premium metal/glass. My reason is that I never sell phones anyway, after 2 years I get a new one and give the old one to a cousin or something like that.
- Kiro 2y agoIt's not about selling them. It's about protecting it when you drop it etc.
- fullstop 2y agoHave you held a Pixel 7 Pro? They are _way_ too smooth without a case. It's like trying to hold a wet bar of soap.
- gtirloni 2y agoI have dry hands and can't hold my Galaxy S23+ with glass back at all. It slips out of my hand all the time. No way I can use without a case. It'd break on the first day.
- aembleton 2y agoI have a leather case for my Pixel 7 [1]. Much better feel in the hand. 1. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1303285181/leather-google-pixel-7-pixel-6a-case https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1303285181/leather-google-pi...
- deelowe 2y agoI used to say the same thing, then one day I tripped and shattered my phone. It was nothing I did that caused it. Just a small bit of uneven pavement was enough to ruin the whole device.
- munificent 2y agoI just pay the extra $30 or whatever for accident protection. That's about the same price as a case and accomplishes the same goal. I think of it as a zero-ounce case.
- lxgr 2y agoWhere do you get $30 accident protection for the lifetime of a phone? I've looked into Apple Care for this in the past, and it was about 10 times that for two years, with a deductible for broken screens.
- munificent 2y agoI honestly don't remember how much it was when I got my last phone, but I don't remember thinking it was particularly expensive. I'm an Android user.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoI've never used a case and never will. It's not that hard to not drop your phone, and unless you get a heavy duty case (like an OtterBox) they aren't adding much protection anyways. It's not worth the added expense, ugly look, and crappy plastic texture.
- wilsonnb3 2y agoiPhone bumps have been so egregiously large that they don't lay flat even with a case for a few years now. You've got to specifically look for one that has raised corners or something to compensate.
- partdavid 2y agoMy wallet case is indispensable (to me). In other words, I'd rather use the "space" of the camera's bump-out for my own purposes (ID and credit card) than a worse camera or even more-er battery life (for some time now "more than a day" is indistinguishable to me from "more than a day and a half") or some other gadget. Probably. Um, maybe put some more gadgets on the phone and I'll get back to you on that one...
