I don’t use a case or screen protector. They’re too expensive, and offer no additional protection imo. Phones these days are pretty durable. My phone rides in my pocket with my keys and the screen is fine. Some pretty minor paint scuffs on the aluminum near the bezel and that’s it. Phone cases are unnecessary

Well that’s just flat out wrong, if you’re buying a decent case like an Otterbox

Bold statements lol. My phone would be chipped to shit from all the cement drops without my clear case

Plus, I’d rather carry a cracked screen than an ugly af screen protector and an inelegant phone case.

It’s like buying a ferrari and wrap it into a case so it doesn’t get bumps when you’re driving.

not just saying this for the sake of arguing, but people definitely do buy expensive vinyl wraps for this reason. helps with resale value when they're ready for an upgrade/trade

Oh I didn’t know this, so maybe it was a bad analogy. I don’t know much about cars but it looks decent from a quick google search.

What I was suggesting is, it’s not worth making the phone ugly just to not crack it.

New phones are pretty durable.
