Do You Use a Case?

Bourbon City · Nov 14, 2011

I am a true Case Junky. I change my case three to five times a month. I have a couple Element Vapor Pro, an E13ctron s4, an Otterbox Defender, the Speck Pixel HD, a couple Mophie Power cases and more. I have too many to list. Yes I'm a Case Junky and I use all of them throughout the year.

I'm not a big case person. A white bumper on my white 4s is plenty for me. I have considered getting one of the SGP bumper type cases as well.

I hate cases. Never used one until the iPhone. Right now I'm using the elago s4 slim fit case. It adds no bulk to the phone. It's not going to offer the protection of some other cases mentioned here, but for people who hate cases it's a good one to try.

Try one of the slim cases. They are really nice and as light as you are going to get. One drop uncased and the dents will be there forever.

I use this one and it's really nice. Non-slip grip and adds almost no weight or bulk.

I like how the case lip sits above the screen so when I set it down, it's not resting on the glass.

I've always thought this about every phone. The iPhone is smaller than my previous phone (EVO) so thought if I had a slim case it wouldn't bother me, and so far I'm satisfied with the elago case.

I don't get it. You get a case to protect your phone. Then you choose the most minimal thing you can find ... Why. If you use a case it should provide some degree of full protection not just a metal frame around the frame or a thin cover on the back. I don't know I guess I just don't understand the logic. Btw is use the lifeproof since I don't want to be buying a new phone any time soon.

I use a bumper, I find that cases are bulky, and haven't really found one I liked.

People that dot generally drop anything mainly want to protect against scratches and such. Keeps the value of the phone if they want to sell it.

Protection is about more than a case. It doesn't matter what you own, but how you use it. It's true if you put your phone in a box it will fare better when dropped, but just as you don't understand people who opt for minimum protection, people who think the iPhone is a beautiful device don't understand wrapping it in an ugly case.
And every case I've seen which offers great protection is ugly in my eyes, so I'm not going to use one. If I drop my phone and shatter it in pieces, it's on me. I still won't use anything more than a minimum protection case.
