Okay, well, that is a lot of bumps.
I'm always in a hurry, what can I say... LOL

And my phone IS is perfect condition but only because I keep it in a thin shell case.
You seriously care about $20 resale value down the road more than enjoying your device? Wow.
I don't really care about how it looks and how i look with it, it's a smartphone not a gold brick.
I care more about the functionality and resale value. But yea, it's a personal preference. Whatever floats your boat.
So i have 2 bumpers, 5 thin cases, 3 battery cases. Well, even when i'm in a mood for a naked iPhone, i can just remove the case. But most of the time i put a case.

I don't have an otterbox bit I use a case. I also work in an office but use my phone for backcountry GPS with topo maps. Just because someone has a sedentary job doesn't mean they live a sedentary lifestyle. My phone has also fallen off a table a couple if times and the case probably saved me a replacement expense.

The omniscient Lucille Carter has spoken.... Next up, she'll tell you if your bathtub has an unsightly ring around it.
Protecting your device with either a case or a screen protector is going to do just that - protect it. Yes, the aesthetics of the phone are beautiful, and yes, it is a shame to cover it up.. but the device, itself, is an investment. Accessories designed to protect it do just that - protect it, which in terms keeps the resale value of the phone high. Cases/screen protectors preserve the phone's beauty. There are people who run naked with it and say they dont have any signs of damage. To those, I say consider yourself lucky. Accidents happen, regardless if you're careful with your device or not.

Exactly. Who the hell cares either way?
I know my iPhone is pretty. I don't need to see every inch of it daily to keep reminding myself.
I have a clear case and an Apple leather case. Both are very slim and allow me to enjoy the phone while keeping it protected.
I would rather protect it so I can USE it than run the risk of damaging it and having to get a replacement quickly.
But, if other people prefer not to use a case? No big deal to me.

So your phone is also buggered and don't want to admit it?
i love the build of the iPhone so much but its so fragile that a case is mandatory for peace of mind and resale reasons for some people . i understand all opinions .
i own a macbook air and i have to carry it with so much care as aluminum is very chip/scratch prone . but with a notebook its manageable but with a smartphone its ridiculously difficult to keep it in pristine condition .

Interesting. I use a case, just something very slim that seems to have survived everything I've thrown at it.
