My same thoughts. I love blue and wanted to try something different this year than previous (silver/white) years. I got the Apple clear case just to have it but I will probably go case less.
With apple plus, can you go caseless and will it be covered if scratches, dropped, etc?

Apple will cover for accidental drops meaning there needs to be some damage due to an accident.

Scratches will not be covered.

I have had apple care for years and till now I have never made a claim. It is just an expensive insurance policy for the phone.

You pay but will probably not mail a claim until later in life but in this case you only get 2 years.
 
I must say that though Sierra Blue looks awesome, many will really not care after a month of getting the phone

The excitement is there only when unboxing and getting the phone in the first few days.

After that once the phone is covered, we will be reading about how cool iPhone 14 will be and how we should be spending $1500 on the new phone.

It is the way things have been with Apple launches yearly.

Truth, a new phone is only new the first couple of months post release. Then it’s on to the next one for the next ten months 😄
 
I got both a transparent case and an Abyss Blue silicone case, depending on how much I like the Sierra Blue when I see it in person.

If I really like it, I'll use the transparent case. If not, I will go with the Abyss Blue on it.

Abyss looks good with Graphite. Only Blue Jay will look good with Sierra Blue along with the Clear case.

Other cases will not look good. At least to me.

Sierra Blue has very few options hence it is a model to rock with the same couple of cases for 11 months until the next new phoneS. Unless you will use it for 2 to 3 years straight.
 
The best case scenario is I get the Sierra Blue for myself and regular 13 in pink for my assistant and friends. I was thinking about gifting AW7s, but this 13 pink iPhone will sure bring a smile to all the recipients. :) :D :)

PS: for all the naysayers about Sierra Blue, you have to get that Apple is a California company. So Sierra Blue makes a lot of sense under the California sun. Different lighting, different look. It's perfect!
 
However, Apple made no complimentary case for it 🙄

Agreed. I love blues, but the Sierra Blue just does not look good with any case.

Just rec'd the Blue Jay case. It will contrast well with the Graphite...

I preordered a Graphite though Verizon, but this thread has all but convinced me that I want a Sierra Blue. I wonder if they’d let me exchange it.

Not for all of us. I upgrade every two years usually. I don't use a case. I still enjoy my XS every day, but my 13 Pro Sierra Blue arrives tomorrow. I bet I'll enjoy it for a couple of years easily. Good design lasts!

Fwiw, graphite will go with just about any case you want and it’s super sleek. This is coming from a Sierra blue pre-orderer. In case you don’t exchange, you’re still gonna have a gorgeous handset. I think they even updated the color this year.

Midnight Case should go with it just fine. Black goes with everything. I got a clear case too even though I absolutely hate the MagSafe markings on the back.
 
I don't do cases, but why does everybody want to match it with a blue case? It would look really great with the golden brown case e.g.
Honestly, I think it looks great with a lot of the leather cases. I love the way it looks with the Wisteria and Dark Cherry cases. I just don't know if I want a case that bulky.

For the life of me, I still cannot figure out why Apple didn't release iPhones in a variety of colors to match the colored iMacs they put out earlier this year. They've already showed they can do aluminum in a variety of potent colors. Big missed opportunity.
