Yes, but that's the thing about people with this level of self righteousness that they feel they can gatekeep what phone people should buy--they're really good at nosing into things that are irrelevant and none of their beeswax.
I’m also contemplating this… the PM definitely is easier to handle this year, so much lighter!! But I didn’t try it out with a case on and am worried that once you put one on, the advantage will melt away quickly and then it’ll be a brick again, no?
