The only time I ever see caseless phones is in the movies. Everyone I know protects their phone like it costs $1k to replace it. So I’m curious, is my circle unusual or the norm?
My friend Greg does. I don’t get it.
I don’t get u
I have a screen protector but no outer case. Q
I paid for the titanium phone, I’m gunna look at the titanium phone.
I actually don’t like the look or feel of my 15 vs my older 13.
I keep my 15 in a case, and fondle my 13.
Naked pixel 8 check again. I do need to add a screen protector just so that it’s got a little bit more protection.
I run a naked pixel 8 as well. One I had last year flew out of my pocket while on a roller coaster, I got it back a couple of months later and only the glass on the back was shattered everything else worked fine. I do believe it landed in a grassy area and can’t really work out when it flew out so I’m not sure how high up or fast we were going at the time.
I have a case on my Pixel 8 only because I don’t like how sharp the edges are around the screen and on the camera bar.
My roommate has done this for years and they always shatter within a year or two. Don’t understand why he insists upon it. I’d say the majority of his time is spent with a shattered screen because he won’t replace the screen for months
Most people I see in public don’t have a case on their phone. But I also see a lot of people with fucked up phones and cracked screens, so maybe they should.
I swear, most fucked up screens I see are actually temperate glass screen protectors. The cracked protector is proof to them the protector works. I take it as proof a thin piece of glass barely adhered to a flexible chassis is way more prone to failure than the actual screen. I had film protectors until I my pixel 3a. Surprise, screen glass is hard as… Glass.
I cannot fathom why my coworker continually replaces the soft protector on his Samsung flip due to failure at the hinge. . The folding phone. The one that only ever goes in his phone folded.
Surprise, screen glass is hard as… Glass.
In some cases, even harder! Gorilla Glass has a variety of material strengths over glass in hardness, but at the cost of being (slightly) less scratch resistant.
Interesting. I did get some very mild scratches from keys on my pixel 7 early on. I didn’t think harder glass would come with less scratch resistance. Sure you don’t mean greater tensile strength?
Maybe? They’re less prone to shattering.
The flip and the fold come with a screen protector from the factory. It’s integral to the phone as the screen is flexible and soft, without it the screen would get opaque and dull. People forget that the point of cases and screen protectors is to be like rubber tires. They’re there to take weather (not damage) instead of the phone, and to be easily replaced on the regular. Samsung offers a replacement service for the flip that changes protectors regularly with the phone protection program.
You know… I didn’t think about that because I don’t own it and haven’t touched it. Consider the topic fathomed. Seems like some people do just fine without the protector, but I was blinded with our hard glass designs. Thank you
Yeah, like, there’s even a little leaflet that is the first thing you see when you open the box that just says “Don’t remove the screen protector. If it gets damaged, don’t replace it yourself, send it in for a free replacement.” Or some wording of that kind.
Seems like most people prefer cases based on what I see around me. Personally I don’t like the additional bulk plus I’m careful enough with handheld objects to not drop them. Haven’t destroyed any phone so far.
No case, no problems so far. I’ve had numerous phones over the last 20 years, never had a case, and never had an issue. Don’t drop your phones.
I did buy a case for my son’s first phones, but I wouldn’t suggest he need one now. He is certainly old enough to take care with it.
Typically buy a phone for $100 and immediately put it in a cheap $5 TPU case with a $5 tempered glass screen cover.
The case usually outlasts the phone. The screen cover gets replaced every few years.
I never use a case for my phone, and have broken them only twice, which is a better success rate than most people I know. I wouldn’t buy a sports car and cover it up to drive it, so why would I cover my expensive phone to use it? I do get AppleCare though, so I’m not out a full 1k if disaster strikes.
I don’t use protective cases with any of my phones. I’ve read that phone cases can cause them to overheat, as they trap the heat in and seeing that my phones already get pretty hot after most gaming sessions, I just don’t use them.
I do, however, have pop sockets for all of my phones and when I leave the house, I always carry my phones in a purse when I’m not using them.
I personally went without a case myself and also decided against putting anything on the phone except the ESR magnetic ring to make my s25 ultra able to attach to magsafe products.(Small dab of Loctite glass glue to keep it from popping off with the magsafe products or just slide off the product instead of straight popping it off)
I agree on it helping the phone keep cooler without the case. I even got one of those peltier cooling qi2 wireless chargers to make the phone extra cool when I am driving.
Its a bit annoying to think a bit more on where I place my phone down or holding it but at least I am making sure I am using the phone and placing it in places that will not lose it.
I don’t use a case, pretty much for exactly the same reasons mentioned in the old collegehumor video https://youtu.be/q4yIWg_LElc I gave up using a case several years ago and still have never had an issue
Work phone is not in a case because IDGAF. Personal phone, always Spigen or go home.
I’m just so clumsy, I need the protection. I personally like my phone naked (it’s a pretty green 💚), but clear covers are usually flimsy so it’s covered for safety. I can’t afford a new phone, and cracks irritate me too much. 😔
I’ve got a pixel 8 and it’s honestly way too thin and slippery without the case.
