People a bit to anal over the phone?

[maddog91]

Im talking the the term of cases.


I see it this way,I'm 22 and pay for my bills. The phone came from my pocket the plan comes from ym pocket so i value and cherish the phone as anyone should. But since the day i bought I bought 2 cases and ended up returning one and the only reason I'm keeping the other is because its the life proof case that will come in handy when i go scuba dive,paintball ect.. But other than that, back screen protector and no case on my phone. I have yet to drop the phone. Im aware when the phone is around and i just stop worrying and more enjoy the phone.


Anyone else feel people are taking this to far? I mean,I'm considering getting a bumper because a one time is enough to ruin the phone but i have gone full month and no issues...

I agree with u but what can we say its getting more and more tough to get ri of this suoerbe creation of technologie

Some people are just that clumsy.. I tend to set my phone on the side of my bed, the next thing I know the gf wants to fool around and I forget about the phone. It usually falls off onto the floor. That's why I use a case..

I also have a few aluminum bumpers and backplates, but those are just for looks when I'm showing the phone off

Because accidents happen. I use the phone naked inside the house, and put on a case when I go out. The one time I took it to work naked it dropped on the tile floor and chipped a bit of the back corner. Thankfully the backplate is only $29 to replace at the Apple Store.

Besides, whats it to you what other people do with their phones? I say if you wanna cover it up all the time then do it, its a glass phone. And if your bored and wanna use it to play monkey in the middle with 2 friends then so be it.

I'm using back protector plus lucky labs skin for the antenna atm. It's good, shows off the beauty of the iPhone. (White). But I just ordered an SGP linear white to protect from dirt...

You're new so here is a friendly suggestion......proof read your posts before you submit.

You've only had the phone a month, please give it some time, you are bound to drop it at least once and if you plan on keeping the phone for 2 years you might think differently. It has to last! Also for people who have kids and pets, cases are a must for most because there is that extra what if in their life.

It only takes one time to have that fall that totally cracks the screen.

I've used a case as long as I've had my iPhones. Mostly because there's so many to choose from and they show off my personality a bit. I like girlie colors and designs. I worry less about protection and more about expression ;-)

I Personally hate cases because I love the size and feel of a naked phone. My problem is that I WILL inevitably drop my phone. I went nearly a month with just a skin on the back and scree protector. Well... I was walking and not sure what happened but I dropped my phone. I have a small crack in the back now... nothing major but its there now.

I dropped the phone a second time... not really my fault but it was during a marathon and it somehow cam out of my tune belt. Accidents happen no matter how careful you try to be. I will just buy an OEM back panel to fix my mistake but I agree... to many cases. I find it strange that a phone so slim requires a case twice its size for protection.

oh I KNOW I am anal over my phone LOL Complete OCD I have a case and screen protector on it 24/7.

I remember when I got my first iPhone (3G) and before I was able to pick up a case I would leave the phone on a napkin just so it doesn't get dirty....OCD

I think the babying of the iphone 4/4s is highly justified. While I absolutely love the form of my iphone 4s, it's design is an absolute bust from a durability standpoint; Squaretrade can back me up.

Why do I have a case? Rewind to two weekends ago. Out in the backyard with the family. Look over to see my 3 1/2 year old being very quiet (never a good sign).

"Whatcha doing, Pumpkin? Digging? Oh, that's ni-- OMG!!!!!! Is that my iPod?!?!?!?!???!!!!!!!"

Otterbox Defender case did a fine job keeping the Touch safe and sound. No dirt in the ports or anywhere else.

Kiddo isn't allowed to play with my iPhone since I don't want her accidentally calling random people, but the Touch has tons of kids games on it. She apparently decided that it is a truly multipurpose toy.

But enough about the iPod. I have a case on my iPhone because, yes, I really am that big of a klutz

I'd rather be safe than sorry is my motto. I remember when I got the iPhone 4 last June and dropped it on the concrete and luckily I had a case on it to catch the abuse. The phone is too slippery without a case IMO.

I hear ya, and you are 22 so you might not be married but think of your wife throwing a "naked" phone into her bag with keys, wallet, lipsticks, etc etc and you would be anal too since you are paying for it!! I got my wife some Kate Spade case + screen protection...it was worth the peace of mind.

Personally, I put a very slim case (incipio feather) because I really think it adds grip to the phone. I feel the iphone is a bit slippery and if it falls its a costly mistake. I have dropped my old ip4 a few times and the case did a great job of keeping my phone safe!
