People make jokes but we now carry these thousand dollar devices that provide access to everything in our lives.
They should be covered in a durable and easily replaceable cover.
- stouset 2y agoYeah, I mean, that’s ideal right? Expensive and durable materials covered with cheap, somewhat-durable, and trivially replaceable cases to absorb wear and greatly extend the lifespan of the expensive part.
- seec 2y agoYeah, this way you get to have a 5 years old smartphone in pristine condition that is worth less than 30% of its initial value. All that for the low price of being constantly annoyed by the bulkiness and unwieldiness of a case that will cost up to 5% of the price of the device itself if you want to keep it in decent condition. It's like the concept of insurance, it's a scam. A good scam, but still.
- LoganDark 2y agoI prefer when the device itself is durable and easily repairable
- 2muchcoffeeman 2y agoEven if the device is durable and easily repairable it makes no sense to exercise those features. Those features are basically like insurance.
- sixothree 2y agoYou have to because they make the Pro devices _intentionally_ slippery. I'm convinced it is to make the items feel "precious".
