Other No case on the iPhone 17 Air?

James6s said:
The Air is designed to be used caseless IMO. The titanium frame with Ceramic Shield front and back, we’ve seen it been thrown about, dropped face down on the promo video etc. Glass is glass though lol

I’ll be rocking mine naked but with AppleCare+ incase the worst ever happens.

I agree. And most of the time my phones are naked. The only thing I put on it is a screen protector but that's more about me than Apple.

Given the new Ceramic Shield 2 is supposedly 3x more resistant to scratches, is it worth using a screen protector? I’m struggling to find one that offers anti glare.

Looking at the Apple accessories I think the only protection that’s worth it is the bumper, as it looks to add minimal bulk and ruining the thinness.

I plan to use it fully naked, I’m very careful with my devices.

This is the bumper.

These cases are nice, but I feel part of the phone's beauty is in the bumpers, so I won't be using one. But glad to know it's available.

Plenty of other threads to pass your judgement on the Air (maybe let Apple know it was a waste of time & resources)

This thread is about cases or no cases for the Air, if you can’t read 👌🏻😀

Hear hear! So the anti mini/plus/and now air crowd is out in force, after years of whining "apple no longer innovates", "jobs took the best of apple with him" blah blah blah blah blah. Big sigh.

Mini Gang member here to represent. Ya'll better be using those Airs without cases. Imagine buying a thin phone just to make it thick again

I never use cases because they add weight, even a few extra ounces can make a difference. And I prefer to see/feel the beauty of an iphone which have never been those dull airplane wings that many droid makers have adopted. Even the worst iphone ever made managed to look better.
 
I'm buying a case to protect the phone from scratches and the like. I always buy a case, so a thin phone with a case is a push against a thick phone with a case. There are plenty of super thin bumper cases that hardly add thickness.

This JETech case looks very slim for anyone looking for minimal bulk who aren’t confident enough to use it naked 😁

I’ve been tempted to use my iPhones naked before, but they are slippery. I did buy the bumper, so I will see how that goes.

haha.
this reminds me of:
'youre holding it wrong!'
but instead:
'it's your hand thats slippery!'

simple solution you could just buy otterbox gloves and then you wont need a case! :)
 
Never used a case. Now I just use Amex phone coverage which is a $50 deductible for up to $800 twice a year as long as you just pay your cell phone bill on the amex. Used to buy the AppleCare but didn't use it once in previous two years so going without.
