iPhone 8/+ Owners: What extras did you get?

White Apple Silicone case. Belkin Wireless Charging Pad.

Would have done the Apple leather case but got burned in the past. The leather changes colors and looks awful. Also will smell after awhile from sweat, etc.

I will get blasted for this but IMO glass screen protectors are a gimmick. If you drop your phone there is a x% chance the screen will break and x% chance that the glass cover will break. I don’t think one affects the other. I think the glass cover % is higher and when it does shatter people think.. “it saved me!”.. when in fact the iPhone screen wasn’t going to break anyway.

For me, using a glass screen protector is less about it being more protective of the screen than a regular screen protector and more that it feels way better than a regular screen protector. I don't like how the regular screen protectors are sticky. They're also more difficult to install correctly.

I get it’s all about preferences. The actual screen is really tough. My wife is brutal to a phone and no issues. I’m not as bad as her and no issues. Naked feels so guuud.

Just ordered a Sena Wallet case. Having used one for my 6+ and 6s+ (same case) for over 3.5 years... I can't stand not having one. Had it custom initialed too for $7.99 :). Final cost was $45.87 USD. https://www.senacases.com/products/...6s-6-plus?variant=47587664964&d=1&cache=false

The Apple Leather cases aren't bad but it is SUPER thin leather, one drop and it will tear like paper (I had 2) but it fits nicely.

Sena's leather cases are much thicker, get much better with age - and can handle YEARS of heavy usage (I played Ingress for years with mine).

Couldn't stand my plastic case... not even for a few days, lol.

A bit exaggerated on Apple Leather Case. Had them for years. Coached little league leaving them on benches, dropping on field, dropped my saddle brown on my driveway and it scuffed it but some light oil ‘healed’ the scuff in a few days. They have gotten sweaty and dirty.. handled great. I did get a counterfeit one from Amazon that was trash. Looked legit but wasn’t.

Probably won't invest in wireless charging until that airpower thing comes out so I can charge phone, watch, AirPods. That will be awesome.

I do think it is cool that I can charge my phone on the wireless had with my silicone case on.
