I have a Ti bike and of course the Ultra — no scratches at all. IMHO stainless steel is more prone to scratches. Anyway I‘m ok if it scratches.
Got a tip for us?

Wouldn't it make sense to actually check the buttons still work, the autofocus and image stabilisation still works, the connector still plugs in, the haptics still, umm, hap?
Seems sad, wasteful, to see two phones seriously damaged without getting as much information as you could.
Digging this case. Looks like just enough to save it from scratch and drop damage from waist height level accidents. Can barely tell is there. It also makes the MagSafe stronger, which sometimes comes off in my car with a naked iPhone.
Been caseless for almost every phone! It’s the only way to go. I use a screen protector though. I also use the Apple MagSafe wallet and it pairs nicely as some protection when I set it down.
I ended up dumping the clear case and went with a Mujjo leather case. The buttons on that were much easier to press, but I did not like the feel of the case at all. It irritated my fingers. As such I return that and picked up a TORRAS Slim Fit case https://www.amazon.com/TORRAS-Designed-Ultra-Thin-Lightweight-OriginFit/dp/B0CBJH6V9Y
It’s a semi-soft plastic so it probably won’t offer a lot of protection and it doesn’t have a lot of grip, but it should protect the sides from getting all scratched up and my hands from getting hot and sweating like was happening with a caseless phone.
Do people with applecare+ use the phone for 2 years, then before the applecare coverage runs out, they deliberately smash and destroy the phone to get a new replacement for $100?
if they have alot of money whose stopping them? i wouldnt buy applecare. if it breaks or nicks its because by accident or clumsiness. usually its by accident and slip through my hands or so. im pretty careful with my phones.
I upgraded from an iphone 12 mini which i dropped like a million times. The case is all banged up and the screen has small scratches but no spiderwebs
I'm amazed at the durability of it. it's like an indestrutible tank!
But the thing is, i do drop my phone quite frequently. So thats why i chose to get applecare+ this time with my 15pro.
should i get clear case from amazon or apple. which is more expensive. i like the esr or spigen what other brands are good? with magsafe
I found the TORRAS case has no magnets in it so while MagSafe works through it, it falls off MagSafe chargers. Still looking.
I found an amazing case. I always use clear cases and they are soft and the edges are usually thick. The one in the link below is my newest one and it is much better than any I've ever had before. It is rigid and the edges lay FLAT against the phone and you can barely tell that a case is even on the phone. it is amazing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CDR991YF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Note that if you are looking for a lot of protection, this is not the case for you; however, if you want to get as close to "naked" as possible but want protection from scratches and a little drop protection, this is a good choice.

Yeah, I have the same issue with my clear case. Going to see if I get used to itbecause it's fine otherwise.
Case always. I don't want my iPhone getting scratched or dented. I've ordered several and returned most. I like to have a few options. I bought the fine woven apple case and am returning that too, seems fragile. The only one I like so far is a torras clear case, though I have a few more coming today.
I tried a bunch of different cases, but kept having issues with them. I finally found one I like.
I like it because the back is clear, but it’s a rubber/silicon case. Also it isn’t MagSafe, but has a really strong magnet so it sticks to MagSafe chargers and stands.
It probably won’t survive a major drop, but I’ve never dropped my phone. The worst I’ve done is knock it off a chair onto the carpet.

I just got my Titanium pro max today. I had also gotten a new XXL Bullhide belt holster and a Nomad Horween leather folio case. Before I left the Verizon store the tech put the phone in the case, and commented he had not seen a nicer case. Folio means it has a lined flap that folds over the screen when the phone is not in use. When in the holster with it's flap closed there are 3 layers of leather on the outside protecting the phone. I took my old 11pro out to see about a trade in and the tech helping me said it looked like it had just came out of the factory box, pristine. I have been carrying it daily in a similar setup of holster and case since the 11's came out.
I'd like to have a case but every time I used it on my iPhone (except the silver one) it scratched my frame. Sometimes even within the first day of use.
Dust is not a problem as I never used case longer than a few days (and I clean my phone regularly with microfiber cloth) but I think it's the way you take case out of the phone. It just scratches the PVB coating.
Once I figure out how to wear cases without scratching my phone I will start using them again. Now I am going caseless and I have no problem with scratches.
