Big, naked phones are amazing

i have a 1 year old daughter but don't give her my phone
yeah, i have apple care
Do you have AppleCare or anything? This feels distinctly not worth risking $400+ on a daily basis for a better feeling phone haha.
I only use a thin case to protective from scratches since I tend to sell my old phone when I get a new one. I hate big ass protective cases. Screen protectors too. Hate how they feel.
yeah theres no way i would leave the house and trust my clumsy ass with a $1000 piece of brittle glass and metal. At least get a slim case!
It's already almost impossible for me to hit the "a" key on my phone using my right hand without stretching and I don't even have a massive phone. The prospect of getting an even bigger one sounds like hell.
I've never used a case and I've never had a screen crack or shatter on me. I've had a few drops, but apparently I'm lucky.
Cases feel awful, I'd hate using the phone if mine had one. I'd rather just pay for a new screen in a theoretical situation where it breaks than spend untold hours dealing with a thick rubber case taking up pocket and hand space.

I thought you were about to say you were upgraded your iphone SE to an X. X isn't exactly a small phoneFor years I was a small phone with a case kind of guy. iPhone + official leather case.
Now that I use my phone for basically everything (including watching TV on the train) I decided to upgrade my iPhone X to an 11 Pro Max and - to keep it at a decent size - try forgoing a case.
WOW. This is how phones were meant to be handled, just a thin, smooth glass device that is basically the same size as my old phone with it's case.
I don't think I could have done this as a younger man, but now that I'm not getting drunk and dropping my phone this is 100% the way to live life.
Who is with me? Come drive without seatbelts in this naked phone future!
Using my S10+ with no screen protector and just a d brand skin on the back glass
I know I'm living dangerously.

good play, same here (also got an 11 pro), the screen/having Dolby vision/OLED is amazing for watching content.. best I own lol..
I thought the same way until I used up both of my iPhone screen repairs within one month.
I use a very slim case now.
That's just pure luck. Like dropping a glass from 4 feet and it doesnt break but then it drops a few inches and shatters because it hit just the right angle.
I've always gone naked and have never broken a screen
and this post assures I will within the week

Such a shitty condescending post. Nobody is just throwing their phone around all it takes is a stumble, a slippery hand, someone bumping you, etc and it absolutely can fall. Given its glass it only takes one fall and it's done.
Used my Pixel for a while like that, then I got a big dog and using the phone became way more dangerous with him in the park so I got a case. But yeah, we pay a huge premium for the desing and materials, using a case, adding weight and size, hiding the phone seems weird.
Makes sense with how much they cost
Drinking doesn't matter OP. Just one drop and it could be over. Just one.
Some things are it. This ain't.
I've never used a case or screen protector on any phone I've ever owned. I've had a series of iPhones, going back to 2009. I don't care too much about my phones picking up minor cosmetic wear & tear, and I've never had any serious damage (cracked screen, etc.). I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but until I get burned at least once, I'll continue to enjoy the thinnest and lightest version of my phones.
Yeah, I'm so clumsy people occasionally think I'm drunk when I'm just tired. Also, without a case it just keeps slipping out of my pocket whenever I sit down so case it is
Here ya go
It's a nice case - I got the glossy tough one. The tough case makes the button presses kind of difficult until it breaks in, FYI.
If you have an UBER Visa or a Wells Fargo Credit Card that you use to pay your phone bill, your phone is automatically insured for $600 in damages -- with only a $25 deductible.
With that in mind, my next phone is definitely going naked. Screen repairs are relatively cheap, and even if the phone is totalled your out-of-pocket expenses are only going to be about $100 (assuming you don't spend more than $700 on your next cell phone).

i have an xs and put it in a case day 1. i also have a popsocket. I cant afford to replace the phone if it gets cracked so it gets a case no question. The popsocket is a godsend when im in a rush and have the phone in my hand. it keeps it from slipping out of my fingers. also it makes for a nice stand!.
It's so weird they make phones out of these expensive "fragile" materials so everyone just wraps their phone in cheap silicone to "protect" their 2 year disposable glass device.
they should just make all phones out of rubber/silicone backs and cut out the middlemen :D

Currently using an iPhone X with no case and everytime I put this thing down on a slightly off level surface it slowly slides. So damn annoying. So many times in a week I've placed it on the arm of my couch and walk away only to hear it slam to the ground a minute later.
They are not. Every single device will get micro scratches and potentially actual deep scratches no matter how careful you are as long as it's ever in your pocket.
No way in hell is my i phone 11 pro max leaving its case. Except to take it out every now and then (over a soft surface) and imagine what its like not in my black leather case. I got the silver.
I've never used one and never had any scratches. Now I'm much more open to a screen protector if you're wanting to guard against scratches.
What I feel is a waste of money are the tempered glass ones.
I make my money in an industrial setting. Lotta pipes and equipment to crawl around on. Lotta tools hanging on my sides. I gotta has me some armor. Sexy as my blue note 9 is I aint gonna see it busted. That things low light camera and ability to film high speed objects lets me check diode wheels, turbine stuff and see into confined spaces without breaking the plane to check for hazards. Too valuable to my day to day.
