No Stupid Questions

These are already large and big enough to hate them... last thing I want is extravolume/weight. Also, I paid for the neat experience and I am going to enjoy it till the end...

I use a case because I need somewhere to keep my cards.

Never use a case but always use a screen protector as replacing the screen often costs almost as much as a new phone.

I have toddlers I think that answers your question

I use a $5 thin silicone case. Just enough to cushion the blow. I haven't broken any phones, but I drop them a lot.

Been using my Pixel 4a for almost 5 years now - had a case from day 1, which started to disintegrate somewhere during year 4. Figured the phone would crap out well before a second case, so took the Ivan Drago attitude ("if he dies, he dies"). Never dropped it, barely losing any charging capacity, and a better user experience with a (relatively) small, light phone.

SM-A50 for ~2 years now w/o a case, dropped multiple times onto carpeted concrete from ~3 feet and a couple times on tiled floor from ~3-5 feet and worst it got was a scratch about an inch long that you can only see if you're looking for it. Last month fumbled it onto parking lot asphalt which finally gave it a proper crack but it's only on the bottom where there isn't any touchscreen so decently lucky I guess. I've seen so many cased phones with screens looking far worse. If you're a clutz you probably should have one but if you treat it right and it's not a piece of junk then it should last.

Always a case! I need a case with a clear back so I can put Bad Dragon stickers on the back without using their adhesive.

I also get giant phones so a pop socket is necessary.

I bought the galaxy fold 3 when it came out and stopped using cases or screen protectors about a year ago when I realized I never drop my phone (knock on wood). This phone can be pretty thick with a case added so I prefer it this way.

I've never used a case and never broken a screen. I've only replaced my last several phones due to swollen batteries. Although, I've definitely dropped my phone a couple times where I thought for sure that my streak would be over, but I've just been lucky.

My kid does.

And I wish she wouldn't. To clarify, we've bought her cases and she destroys the case in days.

She's more careful with her bare phone than she is with it in a case.

Bought a repairable phone and only use a screen protector now. If it were to break it's not that expensive a repair (never paid more than $500 for a phone anyways, seems ridiculous to me), and I've dropped it plenty of times and it hasn't broken yet in nearly 4 years. Doesn't seem necessary.

Just once and shattered my screen when the vibration motor knocked the phone of a table. 100€ later and a lot wiser, I am fully geared up.

I don't use a case, pretty much for exactly the same reasons mentioned in the old collegehumor video https://youtu.be/q4yIWg_LElc I gave up using a case several years ago and still have never had an issue

I wouldn't need a case if the phone were designed with proper bevels. You literally can't set an uncased phone on a flat surface without scratching the screen or camera (which sticks out awkwardly).

And don't get me started on the screens with curved edges. Complete garbage design (why yes, I'd love to accidentally use touch gestures just by holding the device, frrrrrrt).

I don’t use a case. I like my phone to be small (have an iPhone 13 mini) and a case would somewhat negate that advantage. I also haven’t really seen a case that I like the look of.

I do have a vinyl sticker on the back but it’s more for looks than for protection.

Modern phones are surprisingly durable. I mean, of course, over the time I have my phone it collected a few small nicks on the frame and a few minor scratches on the display but it’s a device I use daily after all.

I’ve only ever had two phones break on me and one of them (my iphone 4S) was accidentally flung across the room by the neighbour‘s boy and even it only needed a new back glass, which I fixed myself.

I have a pixel 9. I use a case that is slim, but larger than the bezel so when I accidentally launch it off of my lap across the room, it will survive. I can't do thick cases.

My roommate has done this for years and they always shatter within a year or two. Don't understand why he insists upon it. I'd say the majority of his time is spent with a shattered screen because he won't replace the screen for months

I change it depending if i feel like it or not.
If something breaks its like at most a 90€ replacement part

I always use a case, but I’m pretty careful with my phone. I would probably be fine without one, but I just feel better having one.

I have used android phones without a case. Only one ended up with a crack.

I got a work phone. It's an iPhone. Cracked screen in less than a week.

Just trying interstellar on PieFed. Says 119 comments but only see four. Also not sure what profile name it'll use as I have two on one email address. (edit - it picked my old one.)

No case. Dropped and cracked my screen after 15 months. Ordered a new screen on mobilehq and will install next week. I prefer the lightness and the soft back of my g84.

I get the smallest phone available and don’t use a case because I don’t like the bulk.

I also figure a smaller piece of glass is less likely to break when dropped, so the size is a sort of protection in itself.

Yes. I found myself removing the case to my iPhone 1.0 to show off the form factor over and over and decided to ditch it. Haven't used a case since.

Naked pixel 8 check again. I do need to add a screen protector just so that it's got a little bit more protection.

Yes. Savages.
