Other Do you use a case on your iPhone? [MERGED]

Realistically, you'd probably end up paying more for AppleCare+ over the years than you would on a phone repair/replacement.

I do have AC+ for peace of mind and express replacement service. That said, it's probably not the most financially prudent choice unless you break your phone once a year or something.

Yeah that’s exactly my thinking. In 18 years of owning iPhones and always being caseless, no screen protector and no AC+ I have dropped it 2 times, where one of those times I had to replace the screen and the other time the back glass. Quick maths:

2 repairs in 18 years: €600
18 years of AC+ would’ve cost: €4.000
Profit: €3.400 😄

And yes, caseless is totally worth it. It cost me €2,77 per month to enjoy the look and feel of the design of the phone (I really dislike the feel of screen protectors and obviously the bulk and plastic of cases). But yeah, I’m not clumsy and don’t have kids, so I can go years without ever dropping or scratching my phone. My current 1 year old 16 Pro looks like it just came new out of the box.

Looks like this protects the camera too?

I have had no issues with my camera from using a Pitaka case on my 15 Pro Max and the camera lens looks perfect so this is why I got a Pitaka case for my Air. The advantage of having this is the entire camera bump is protected so when I place my Air on the table it is firm and not wobbly.

Also the case does not take away just how thin the Air is so for those who have been crapping on use of a case because it takes away from the thinness of the Air, you haven't seen this Pitaka case on the Air. I love mine. As much as the new iPhone costs, I would rather protect the finish on my Air and have a very thin case on it rather than see it's finish end up scratched up. No thanks...

I got a Grezaco case and the sides are exposed, the corners and camera plateau are protected. It’s just as thin and easier to hold than when it’s caseless

Pitake superslim. From the first Iphone always my choice.
