I always wrap my shet up. Nothing worse than dropping it and dealing with a cracked screen.

Yeah I always get a case for it. Its usually around 40 bucks. Worth it.

 

Never have had a screen protector though

I used a screen protector way back in the day. But with the new glass they are putting on these I don't have the need.

I have a Samsung S7 and use a minimalist case which doesn't add much to the thickness but protects it enough. iPhone glass is crap, it cracks if you look at it wrong. :thumbsdown:

Yes. While I like the thin profiles of cases without...many are so damn slick with nothing on it...more of a pain to hold onto when on the move.

I use a pretty thin case. Doesn't add much bulk...keeps the camera and screen from laying onto surfaces of things and adds a little bit of grip and drop protection.

 

Had a Galaxy S5...case for almost 2 years...case broke and I knew I was upgrading a few months after that so I went without a case.

2 weeks later it was like slow motion slipping out of my hand...couldn't get my foot under it before it hit a tile floor right on the corner leaving a nice crack.

 

Don't want to deal with repairs or focking it up as Id like to keep this one for a while

Its gotten better. I broke my iPhone 6 glass three times.

 

Ive dropped my iPhone 7 numerous times. Have dings on the metal (never get the glossy black btw. It chips and looks like crap) but the glass is fine.

No, a 40 dollar case would increase the price of my phone by 25%. Plus the case makes it too bulky, when I break my phone I can buy another and still have an extra 400 dollars over you Samsung and apple losers.

We have lots of cheap Chinese brands here, but never seen them in the states.

There are many cheap phones in the US, go to any best buy and look at the cheap unlocked phones. You can even get them cheaper if you buy them on Amazon with the Amazon ads.

 

To answer your question a Moto 5g, without even looking for a good deal you can pick one up for 200.

Pixel is slick as ###### with no case, slides right out your hand, off your pants, off the console, off the couch, etc.

 

Slim, minimalist rubber type case from Google.

 

Never got around to a screen protector. 11 months and no scratches, 5+ direct drops face down on driveway/parking lot. Glass has gotten a lot better in the last few years on the high end phones.

 

ETA: I used to carry all my phones naked, they look a lot smoother that way and feel better in the hand

My pixel XL just died this week, 15 months in. It started random rebooting and got progressively worse to the point I couldn't even use the phone.

 

Since I'm grandfathered into the Verizon unlimited data plan I buy my phones outright. Needless to say I was not happy especially considering Google was like tough titty.

 

I just bought a moto 5g plus noticeable difference in performance. In a bad way

Yeah, I had a Moto razr x as my first smartphone. Next one was a Samsung S3 then iPhones.

 

Noticeable difference in performance from the low end to high. Now that probably doesnt matter to most people. I use mine constantly, so Im willing to pay.

 

The iPhone X has me considering switching back to android though. Here in china, the IPhone X is more than double the cost of the Samsung S8. I would prefer to keep Apple, as it works with my computer, I have lots of apps and stuff Ive bought over there, and their maps and play store arent blocked here.

 

But damn, pigs get fat Hogs get slaughtered.

No. Why do you need one ? Do you regularly drop stuff ?? No.

It's not just like I'm holding my phone and whoops - just gonna dropped my phone. :lol:

Yes.

 

I have small kids who put safe handling methods a distant second when they quickly hide the phone or are jumping around on the bed.

 

Not that the protector does a damn thing seems to me, maybe it just offer psychological protection. Phone still cracks although not at present since I had it repaired a month ago.

I do like the samsung phones but I didn't want to spend $800 on a S8. Next option was the S7 at 450 but this moto had nearly identical stats as the S7 so I went with the moto.

 

I might buy the S9. That device looks baller.

I voted NO, only because Cell Phone Cases aren't cheap either. :mad:

 

 

They're well overpriced, it's a piece of plastic for crying out loud.

I bought mine on amazon for $5.99. I guess you're right since it probably only cost them 8 cents to make. but I wouldn't call $5.99 expensive.

Yes, why the hell wouldnt I protect an 800$ device with a 7$ case? People who dont are silly. Cases are cheap as hell, go on eBay, 2-5$, just as good as expensive ones. Not bulky either, all my cases are low profile.

No case for flip phones :dunno:

 

And Jesus you guys are clumsy.

Do you at least have a head cleaner for your VCR?

 

Also 15 years ago when flip phones were a thing, I had mine in cases.
