Smartphone cases-do you use them?

[willywonka666]

Are they not considered cool or something? I’d feel weird using mine without one.

But it seems a lot of people don’t want to use one and take their chances.

So what’s your take? Do you use one? Is it considered lame if you do? What are the kids doing these days?

I recently upgraded from iPhone 6 for which I had a heavy duty case to iPhone 8 and I didn’t take it out the box until I had a new heavy duty case

I’ve seen way too many smash front screens from my family and friends not to use one

[Cyno]

I have one. Makes it a lot easier for my fat fingers to hold the thing without it dropping.

I used to use a screen cover, too, but the air bubbles that eventually form over the screen got on my nerves.

Depends on the situation, always use a screen protector.

An actual protector, I'll snap one on if I'm going out for the night, or a waterproof one on holiday.

I have an otterbox I'm just to rough on phones to not have one.

[Duke Cameron]

No

Usually I use one. I've dropped too many and they make them so damn thin I have a hard time holding one that is naked.

I use a thin silicone case on mine. Just makes the phone easier to grip.

I have a Mophie because of the extra battery. I recommend it if you’re looking for that sort of thing. It’s not terribly cumbersome.

I had the same problem until I found a place that sells plexi-plastic type ones instead of the film sticker ones. So much easier.

I never used to, but I've watched my wife drop too many of her phones and break them. So we have cases on our phones now.

I hate using a case, but after completely destroying my iPhone 4 a few years back I’ve always had an otter box since. My cell provider offers a deal if you buy one when you buy your phone, I think it’s 25% off

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

There’s no reason not to. I usually get one of the hard plastic ones from Redbubble and a screen protector for the front.

Never had one. Haven't broken a phone yet.

Now that I say that I'm sure I'll probably drop my phone tomorrow haha.

[BK From WV]

I don't for my current phone but I did for my previous. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 Active and this thing is pretty tough. I have dropped it a few times and never hurt it.

My first phone had a phone case. Dropped it once and the phone still broke. After that I just deemed them as useless.

[Cranjis McBasketball]

I have one that flips and has slots for all my cards, in one easy to lose location! I have the find my iPhone app, so it’s all good.

They're nice. I have a couple of scuffs in the corners on mine (had it 2 yrs now), but these are built to last.

[Rolent Tex]

Yes...usually use Otterbox since I drop the damn thing all of the time.

Just a basic one that probably cost about $10. No need to get a fancy one with a cool design or anything
