iPhone 12 Pro Is going case-less a bad idea?

[The-Real-Deal82]

Something like this, I presume

Whatever floats the buyers boat I say. I’ve got a Caudabe Sheath and prefer the look of the iPhone with it on than the bare iPhone on its own. Others may think differently but as long as the owner is happy, it’s irrelevant.

But does this make the phone nicer? The best that can be said is that it doesn't totally destroy the design of the phone.

Couldn’t agree with you more.
IIRC, this protection habits were getting stronger around iPhone4.
I remember a phone full of scratch with 3GS, what we are saying as building character.

Fast forward and with habit of changing new phone every 2,3 years, this mindset of protection is seeded subconsciously, at least for me. Resale or trade-in price is getting better with pristine condition.

It’s not a case I would put on mine personally and I don’t mind covering up the aesthetic of the iPhone with the case I choose.

Not really, I do all of that and it’s still stellar

You drop a glass backed iPhone without a case and its 'still stellar'? What are you dropping it on, cushions?

lol

 

[Remington Steel]

You have the silver color, you can easily polish the stainless steel to remove most of the small scratches.

That reminds me of when people post pictures of a totaled car and someone always replies "That'll buff right out"....smh

There's that ghetto looking phone I was talking about earlier....lol

That's not nice and not true!

That's like me saying that non-F Lexus in your avatar is ghetto and a wannabe BMW. It's not true because you enjoy it for what it is!

Damn dude....calm down...it was a joke!

IDK...it’s not mine. I used to have an IS many years ago.

It's getting harder to find a good drop proof case with grip that doesn't have some issue.

Something like this, I presume

slippery slimey piece of plastic, nice.

I thought so too from the look of review. But sadly it is too firm for the grip and getting annoyed with it

UAGs have served me very well- good grip with one of the best drop protection. They last at least 2 years before any sort of wear starts to show up.

Not really, pathfinder is bar of soap, civilian not much better, monarch has good grip but has sag problems.

Interesting, I had a Plasma on my old iPhone X, it worked great.

yeah they have some grip

 

[dontwalkhand]

Dropped my phone already, when it literally slipped out of my hand. No damage at all, I still plan on keeping it careless. I have Apple Care should anything major arise, but knock on wood, I would never need to use it.

 

[Apple_Robert]

If you can't afford to pay to have possible damage repaired, get the best case you can afford and exercise common sense.

The question isn't a serious one that requires a lot of introspection and rumination. It doesn't matter what other people do. Other people aren't paying your bills. Make an adult decision and be done with it.

It’s such a good patina. I love the SS sides when it looks like a tool and not a Jewel that needs to be flawless.

 

[JW313]

Not a fair comparison. Cars are designed to be exposed to the outside elements. Phones theses days, not so much.

My iPhone has better IP rating than my Ford...

Curious, what kind of IP rating does a Ford get? Didn't even know they did that with cars.

Tech that’s flawless hasn’t been used.
