iPhone X: To case, or not to case?

[James Falconer]

I've been using my iPhone X for some time now (love it), and have bounced between using cases, and no case at all. I've come to the conclusion that I very much prefer using the phone with NO case, but in an effort to protect it I've installed an Invisible Shield screen protector. I figure it's a decent compromise.

How do you like to use yours? Case on, or off?

No case.

Case and screen protector. Always. Unless you don’t mind scratches and blemishes that might come from a drop. I just find cases I like. Right now I’m happy with the X-Level Hero on both of my X’s.

I almost always use a case and screen protector with iPhones. For work, and because the phones are too slick.
Even with the glass back, the phone is so thin that it’s slick. Sure it looks nice, but does it matter how nice it looks when your drop it and smash it?

Case and screen protector.
I do plan on getting rid of the screen protector and the case eventually

I use a case 90% of the time and always when going out. I do take them off when I get home to relax. I love it without a case, but sometimes it's a bit slippery in the hands or just on a table or pillows. I also wish there were no camera hump.

I can't see spending that kind of money on a phone and not using a case to protect your investment.

Unless you can afford the cost to repair or replace a case and screen protector is a must. The high cost of devices today is crazy not worth taking the chance IMHO.

With a case/screen protector.

Case and tempered glass screen protector.

 

[Not Quite Right]

Uhhhh Yeah ...

Definitely a case BUT I do love that naked feel. Just don’t trust myself LOL

 

[TripleOne]

I took off the screen protector on my X, and will soon use it naked

Case when going to the gym.
No case most of the time, AppleCare is there if something happens :straight-face:

 

[ladyc0524]

Definitely a case for me

I own a couple of cases - the purple Apple leather and a speck candyshell (plus have a couple of cheap colour gradient cases on their way) but I prefer caseless and that is how I run most often.

If I was going somewhere where I’d want more protection (like a theme park or something) I’ll throw a case on, but other than that I tend to go without (like all my other iPhones).

And never a screen protector. Loathe them. Nothing but a racket. I worked out how much I spent on screen protectors over a year when I had to replace tempered ones that always seem to chip on their edges or plastic ones that scratch to hell and look terrible, and peeled the thing off and never looked back. I could have bought a new phone with the money I wasted on them.

I choose AppleCare instead. And I’ve only ever needed it once - and it wasn’t me, it was my husband who broke my old phone (he gets my hand me downs).

My compromise is that I don't buy Apple Care but I do use a case (Apple leather). If I had Apple Care I think I'd dare to go sans case.

I bought an otter box defender but only use it while I’m outdoors! 99% of the time I’m case less!

 

[TripleOne]

No case as of today
