Black Apple silicone case on my black titanium 16 Pro. I like that there’s an actual button instead of a cut out for the camera control.

Off-topic, but why do you need two battery indicators on your lock screen? 👀

I won’t answer for him but I’ll answer for me because I use the same widget on mine. That widget also shows other items’ level of battery charge when those other items are in use. For example, mine most often shows my AirPods’ (including their case’s) battery charge level.IMG_4374.png
 
I recently upgrade to an iPhone16 and bought an Apple silicone case, it's easy to handle but I miss the leather case that I had for my iphone14. I picked up an Otterbox Cactus leather case but it's rough and I don't see it having a nice patina with age.
 
No, unless I am heading out on the bike then I’ll use a QuadLock case.

I don’t understand the logic of spending money on buying a beautifully designed product, only to cover it up and never see it.

If the answer is “because it keeps it in good condition for when I sell it on”, then I become even more confused.

Why invest good money in something you’ll never see, and furthermore keeping it nice for the benefit of the next owner?

Bonkers.

You get more money for selling pristine devices. I never sell them anyway but always use a case so it’s not something that affects me.

You also get to avoid expensive repairs or an AC+ subscription if you use protection. For some people it’s a financial decision, others it’s for customisation and, for people like me, it’s about preserving devices in “as new” condition.

As I’ve already said, there is little logic in that argument - if we spent our lives taking that attitude, we’d get to the end of the road with no memories and a bit more cash.

What memories? It’s a handheld computer which does the same thing whether in or out a case.

Since humans are prone to error, accidental drops are a thing. I saw that approx 50 million screens are replaced each year in the USA. I’d like to use a case and a screen protector to prevent my device from being part of that statistic.
