After going caseless for a few days I understand . . . holding the phone and using the buttons is more pleasurable. Too bad more and more manufacturers have decided not to make sleeves.I don’t like a case on my phone when I’m using it. It is distracting and for my use, unnecessary. When I’m home or at my desk, I don’t need a case. The only time I’ve ever dropped my iPhone is taking it in or out of my pocket. Also, pockets tend to scratch the glass and case. Using the sleeve when I put my iPhone in my pocket solves all of these problems. If you are prone to dropping your iPhone during normal activities, the sleeve doesn’t help you much.
