if i go to clubs then i toss a case [usually heavy duty] cos you never know what drunken idiot will accidentally knock you sideways while you're using your phone.
given the iPhone XS max has the sticky and reassuring stainless steel edges i can see some going caseless [plus applecare] but i dont so i need some protection at least.
even my previous iPhone 7 Plus was in pristine condition after 2 years, thanks to a case
