Honestly, I went with a case because I figured I'd want to trade it in possibly and I heard too many horror stories where the value drops tremendously on a stupid scratch.
It does look nicer, until you drop it. Then it looks like trash.I've never been using a case since my X. That's what AppleCare is for and also it feels and looks SO much nicer without a case...
Cases and that kind of **** is for three kind of people:
- Butter fingers: They just need a case. It's ok.
- People that can't afford the phone (Apple or not Apple): This type of people can't sleep thinking about a possible breakage or loss. Cases, bumpers, condoms... All kind of **** on their phones just for fear.
- People without personality: All around them wear a case on their phones. So they have to wear one too.
There are a fourth category... People with money that don't want to use the same device than poor people. So they put cases more expensive than the phone itself. Cases with logos from brands like LV and others and/or with embedded stones or personalized with their own brand or ***** like that.
Also for people with brains enough to realise that phones are no longer cheap indestructible plastic bricks but are now expensive, fragile and produced from materials such as glass.Cases and that kind of **** is for three kind of people:

Exactly this. I don't have time to be faffing around sorting out repairs.Even if I didn't mind the cost of replacing a broken phone, I'd still mind the hassle of going to the store, buying and then setting up the new phone.

For me personally, it's a minimum 4 hour round trip to the nearest Apple Store for a repair or a replacement.I use both a case and a screen protector. Even if I didn't mind the cost of replacing a broken phone, I'd still mind the hassle of going to the store, buying and then setting up the new phone. Bigger hassle while traveling or when on vacation, especially now that we are moving to eSIM only. Plus, I appreciate the grip of the apple silicon case.
And..... the case just paid for itself.I never used to use a case, or if I bought one, i'd end up hating it and not using it.
I used the 14 Pro for a while with no case, and if I'm careful I'm sure it would be fine.
I bought a leather RYAN London case for it, and I actually love it - makes the phone a lot nicer to hold and i don't have to be quite so careful when placing it down. First case in years that I've actually liked.
