almost all flagship phones are delicate without a case. And theyre slippery as hell with those glass backs

i remember in the early 2010s, phones had solid build quality. Galaxy s series, early iPhones, htc, oneplus, etc all had sturdy plastic or metal bodies

but nowadays its an absolute requirement to add some bulky uncomfortable piece of plastic just so you can grip it correctly

Because they can milk another $20 out of you for a case

My s7 was a fuckin rock. Second only to an old Nokia

Sad it died. Upgraded to s22 and basically felt obligated to get a case for the exact reasons you mention above.

I had my iPhone 7 for years and it never broke when it had a case. The second I dropped it when the case started disintegrating, it cracked on the screen.

I've never had an issue without a case. Went 2 years without ever dropping my Pixel 2. Only reason I have a case now is because the case doubles as a 3 card wallet.

that's not even what bothers me. It doesn't even feel good to the touch. The iphone feels like it was designed to slip out of your hands. I'd be ok with going no case despite how fragile phones are if it didn't feel so shitty

yeah some people hate the feel of glass and that's okay.

i kind of like it, though

but i also have a pixel 6 and it has a huge camera bar that my fingers can slide into

I went no case for my last four phones but for the most recent one I decided to case it

I feel like at the end of the day there is no difference
