I have not used a case or screen protector on any iPhone since 2008. I have only ever broken one screen in all that time.

I can’t say I’ve ever been bothered by fingerprints. When I get big scratches on the frame from dropping it on concrete, that’s a little annoying, but it’s hardly that big a deal. I have a few scratches on the screen, but less than you’d expect.

Every case is both less nice looking than the phone is and also in many cases can damage the phone when dropped due to how force is redistributed. As a result I’ve never used a case at all, except briefly when I wanted to try fancy leather ones. I stopped after a few weeks.
