I love tech stuff and I love design ❤️ Is that reason enough to put my phone in a case? No! On the contrary. Hear me out... About the channel: • It took more than 1,50... My insta: / georeschen have a nice one baaam 👋🥳☮️
thing is, cases do a great job protecting your phone but even in a case it can still break.. but you're less likely to break your phone while dropping with a case then without one. The couch example doesn't really make sence cuz your phone is used as a communication device that you take everwhere and is at high risk of damage, a better example would be a car.. .
A few thoughts after researching going this route. Breaking phones is a business - it’s beneficial to charge you for Apple care, screen repairs etc. and folks who buy these can easily afford repairs and insurance, it’s easy money for Apple they don’t have to design these things to be durable if they got you on the design train - ingenious actually. You don’t take your leather sofa or nice guitar camping, running, or to work where you use it as a functional tool nowadays.
it’s simple to take off and put on though, if i’m going to dinner, class, or whenever i don’t need a case. If im going to exercise or work i’ll obviously throw it in a case
that doesn't really make sence because Apple sells cases for the iPhone which are extremely expensive.. if you have apple care screen repaires are cheaper then their cases Apple care is only 10$ a month for 2 years.. they make way more money selling their fancy leather cases. which people usually buy apple care with cases which is a scam in my opinion. just get apple care.
I understand and see your perspective on wanting to preserve the original design of the phone. For me I always view my phone as a resource and not an accessory to look at so I always like to put a case on it. For it it allows the device to be more personalized since iPhones are very common and a good case adds more durability to the phone which is important to me because not only is the phone fragile since it Made of glass but also expensive to repair the glass also. Anyway that my perspective always enjoy seeing and sharing what our different perspective is on this topic about cases.
As a person, who switched back from a iPhone 12 pro max, to a s23u. I have to admit, that apples Produkt's always a dysign, that feels magic. But i would say no case is no option for the most. I instead took the money, to get a 90€ leather case for my s23U. Like without a Case my phone would be dead by now. And i think for the most ppl. that isn't much different.
Of course it's up to each person and probably you're right it doesn't make much difference for the most, which is part of my vids aims, drawing attention to the value of design.
For Apple users, the trade in value is what offsets the high cost when they buy their next Apple device. Hence, going caseless is a nonstarter. It might make sense for older phones, particularly Android, because they tend not to be supported as long as Apple phones
I fully get you. Just to be clear: of course anyone's gotta take care of the phone, whatever model it is. I never said anything else 😉 and if you do so, you might get along without a case 😅
@@PixelsPeeper if definitely does the store will use everything they can to give you as little as possible if you have 1 micro scratch cool. but if there are a million then nope lol so yea they affect pricing
@@tbull1545 I went caseless with no screen protector on my 14 Pro for a full year, it had micro scratches all over the screen which are normal and when I traded it for my current 15 Pro at the apple store they gave me the full amount of the trade in price, I was surprised and the apple employee told me apple mostly cares about cracks , dents and deep scratches 😁
@@tbull1545in my experience, micro scratches on a trade in phone doesn’t make a difference. As long as the screen isn’t broken and it powers on, I’ve been able to trade in phones without issue. Last phone I traded in was a note 10+ and it had a ton of micro scratches on the screen and I got full trade in value still.
If i go out for a large period of the day or work on my car/do outside activities, then ill slap a case on. If im at home all the time or do small grocery trips where i know i wont use my phone much (i have a galaxy watch 5 pro) then ill just leave it in my pocket. I USE my stuff, but i am not purposely careless. My son doesnt use my phone at all either, so i dont have any reason to be all stressed about it getting damaged. I think the good middle ground is to have a case or two ready in CASE you want to mix it up a bit, but i do appreciate the design of things better. A screen protector is more of a must due to the micro scratches caused by bits of sand, dust, stuff like that that end up in your pockets. I live in a hot desert region so you WILL get those abrasions on your screen. good video, solid quality. keep it up! I am sub number 650!
Not only do I totally agree, but you are totally right! There should be a type of protection for the phones, but it shouldn't conceal the design of the phone. I don't agree with the "looking used" part.
Totally agree with u mate, i live in uk and my apartment like most houses and apartments here have carpets so dropping a phone on carpet is same as dropping a phone is a case but better protection. I rarely use my phone on work and when i do always be sitting on a chair. I do go out every week with my family where i take photos and videos thats when u can say i could drop it but i never did cause i only use it for some time to take photos and videos, so putting a case on a beautiful phone for just few hours of protection doesn’t make sense. I have a iPhone 15 pro and a z flip 4
I have a s23 ultra,i absolutely love the design and the look of it but its so slippery unfortunately. So i do need a case with a very good grip. I still take it out sometimes though
Can you buy some kind of transparent skin on the backside wich improve the grip? I want to go caseless but it's to slippery, when I drive my Porche 911 the phone slides out of my pocket in under my seat
Caseless 15 Pro Max user here. AppleCare + is my case. AppleCare Comes with the Apple Upgrade program. $29 for glass repair or $99 for overnight express replacement. That’s about the cost of what most people spend on a single case and some buy multiple cases. Cases get nasty and turn yellow etc. Not only that, but one thing that most people don’t realize is the majority of iPhones that come into the Apple Store for glass repair were broken while in a case. If it’s gonna break it’s gonna break. Get AppleCare + and enjoy your phone as it was designed. I didn’t buy a $1,400 phone to wrap it in plastic or rubber 😂
My phone is without a case, the way it was designed. I use this piece of art single-handed to text while pooping. Then when I drop it and the screen cracks, it tells a story. So cool.
I would say that phones propensity to being damaged is actually a design flaw. We should be able to use them without cases but they should be designed to withstand the use.
I love my devices with no protection. Simply gives them a unique look by how much it’s used for basically countless hours and hours of designing a beautiful product to be used the way it’s meant to be
I just started this no case thing today. I’ve always appreciated the beauty of the iPhones only to slap a case on them right away. I dropped my new SE in the toilet earlier (yes it works fine - I just vacuumed the openings for a few minutes) and decided to go the day without the case while I soak it in some bleach water…even the silicone cases get scuzzy looking after a while and I hate it. But I’ve been having so much fun using my phone naked, so I looked up if there were any other crazy people out there. I love looking at my phone for the first time since I unboxed it, and it feels great in my hand and the screen feels more responsive without the protector. And I’ve seen through many videos how durable the new iPhones are. I can definitely vouch for the water resistance! The last great(in my eyes) phone I had was a Motorola G7 Power back in 2010. That fell in the toilet and did not make it out alive so naturally I had a mini stroke as I cleaned and dried my SE. Anyway, great content as always. You’ve inspired me to keep the natural look for now 🤩👊
Very well explained. I never put a screen protector on my phone and instead I clean my phone screen carefully everyday. There wasn’t any noticeable scratch after years of use on my previous iPhone. I’ve been using a case because it feels more stable and comfortable in hand with a leather case. But until changing to iPhone15 pro, I just can’t put a case on it anymore, it feels soo well in hand without any sharp angles.
I just got a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and, despite trying some different cases, they all put some strain on my fingers when handling the phone. And I've ALWAYS had a case on every smartphone I've ever owned. This is the first time I'm actually thinking of going caseless with this one, because it actually handles pretty well without one. So long as I'm always careful when I have it out, it's a risk I'm willing to take. That and the warranty I purchased for it, just in case...no pun intended. lol
iPhones are so much heavier with a phone case and phone cases don’t protect your phone from cracking it protects it from scratching that’s what I’ve noticed
Exactly, i have an iphone 15 pro max. Got an ultra thin case and dropped it a few times in last 4 months no damage, but this week i dropped it on concrete and the front top right bezel got a dent as unless u get a bulky case with a rubber bit that covers the bezel too, then its still able to be damaged. Ripping the case off now and going caseless, with a screen protector of course.
Well I agree but you're missing the major reason most use a case. To exchange the phone in two years and get the next new phone for a fraction of the cost.
As someone who is contemplating... On whether or not to get a case myself, I find that you just need to become hyper aware of your phone's surroundings. For example, never putting your case less phone in your pocket with keys or coins. In addition, you need to be aware what surface you're putting your phone on... Because it might be dirty or worse yet... Slippery and on a slope. If you folks have the mental capacity to do that... That's fine. But as a dad, I can't have that undivided and focused attention on my phone (aka tool) for too long. Putting a case on your phone isn't to to make it ugly, but rather to make it life proof.
right! I musst have invisible diamonds in my pockets - no clue where else these scratches on the display might come from 🤨 Kids x cellphone, yes, that's a different story 😂
S24 ultra user. I am going caseless now. I bought a leather phone sleeve for travel. But once im in stationary place I have it rocked out. Its too damn beautiful to rock a case
Well, I hope everyone looks out for my adaptation. At least ya'll can critique it, but I think it'll be marketable because it solves problems that all these other cases don't solve.
Your so right about everything you explained in this video and I totally agree with you. No matter what case you use, it takes away the beauty of the design
Just pay the 33 cent per day and get AC+. That way you can always have that peace of mind regardless. The only drawback for me is the slippery factor with the naked iPhone. Not so much with the 15 pro because it has better grip but my 14 pro felt sharp and slippery.
Wear shirts with a top pocket you can button up or zip. Never put anything but your phone in that pocket. Unless you're in a car crash or you drop it, you'll never break a phone. If you simply drop everything no one can help you
I don't use screen protector since samsung galaxy note2 because I wanna fully experience! Phone last like at least 4and half year! The only reason it broke because Galaxy note2 battery got fat.. which push phone screen outside! You know samsung popular with battery explode!
I Totally don’t agree with you there is why the phone is incredibly slippery so when it comes to protection here I recommend using a case especially here the phone is expensive. 2.Touch feeling is good by not comfortable for 15 minutes and above and when compare it to a case like Caudabe Sheath for example it way better touch feeling and makes phone grip much easier. It’s shape edges make it hard to using the phone for good periods of time like gaming for example 3.The fingerprints on the fame of the phone without a case looks terrible and make your phone looks dirty. Finaly the high quality phone case makes your phone looks cleaner and prevents fingerprints So Here is the reason why you should use a high quality iphone case 1.Protection. 2.Touch Feeling. 3.Better Grip. 4.Comfortable. 5.Looks Clean. Let Me Know If Is There Any Other Advantages Of Using High Quality IPhone Case.
Dude, 5x same comment 😂 appreciate your effort 😎 here comes the same answer #3: It`s up to everyone to use a case for better grip or in certain situations, yes! E.g.: I use a case to attach moment lenses. my point is, that I like the original design way more than any case. Going caseless of course needs a more carful use of the device, which I feel is for many users to "unhandy"... @ fingerprints: no issue at all with 15 pro max. greez ☀️
I go caseless at home, rather my phone fall on carpet than concrete. Other than that for me it’s just the general inconvenience and waste of time that breaking my phone can cause. I’d rather spend $40 on a decent case and screen protector that’ll take seconds to install than spend hours getting the phone fixed or worse shipped to me.
Great video and well said …. I usually use a case until about 2 months before the new phone is set to launch lol . I may consider no case going forward, life is short might as well enjoy the things we have how are made.
I go ceaseless. However I purchase a cheap Walmart case for when I do things like go hiking. Or to a rugged environment. However day to day I never use a case. It sits in my glove compartment like a concealed weapon 🤣
I have the iPhone 15 Pro Max with AppleCare+ and I used a case and tempered glass until the following happened: The iPhone fell on the asphalt, the tempered glass broke completely and when I removed the Apple silicone case I noticed that the frame had a dent. Then I started to think that even if I have a cover it will be damaged and I will not enjoy it 100%. Then I stopped using protectors of all kinds.
uhh, I think you've been very unlucky there 🤯 I once dropped my 14 Pro on asphalt too: no protection at all - no damage at all, which I guess was veeeery lucky on the other hand 😅🥳
Never used a case with my Blackberry and it was pretty much new after a couple of years. I feel iPhones are made fragile and they are even designed to be slippery...
Another good reason to go caseless; less likely to get it out. I do less random walking/scrolling etc. Get it out when I need it. More purposeful use of the phone. 📱
Phones are designed to be used, without a case. You just have to take care of your device, and practice situational awareness. I use a case, but I also go caseless for weeks at a time, so i can enjoy the looks, materials and design language.
Well said That's what I do, let's say I almost never used a case but I have case for some situation but never use it, people are afraid but it's really easy to go caseless, don't worry about micro scratches, they won't affect resale or trade in value and why you keep a device you paid so much too pristine for someone else
I have dropped my phone 5 times, I have slept on it, I have stepped on it and I hit it on a door pretty hard and it's still working fine. No protection need!!!! No case and no front glass protection!!!!! Gorilla Glass 6 is strong!!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
To everyone complaining about slippery iphone, I request to try a skin, a leather skin on back, it gives a really good grip and ofcourse you have liberty to customise it (depends on your skin source)
Maybe strange to hear for Iphone users ( I have an iPhone just for work) but this is why I love phones with a "plastic" back. Maybe it feels a bit less premium than a glass one but I don't have to worry about breaking the thing and imo it looks and feels much better than a phone with a case.
Yeah I miss my Nexus 5 which was the last phone I had with a matte back. So easy to go caseless with that. Afterwards I got a Pixel and needed a case as it was like a slippery eel. Then I had an iPhone SE which I rocked without a case - I think the small size and flat edges helped with grip. My iPhone 8 was back to smooth rounded crap so needed a case. Now I’m undecided with the 13 which I just got delivered today. It’s got flat edges but it’s bigger than the SE 1 so I’m less confident, plus I paid more for it.
my girlfriend thinks i’m crazy for not using a case, and i always tell her how these phones are expensive due to the materials, designs, logos, etc. why cover them in plastic? i also think things with dings and scuffs are more aesthetically pleasing, as imperfections give things character. also, phone cases don’t totally protect our devices. i had a note 5 in a case. it fell less than two feet face down on the lip of the case. the screen didn’t break, but the oled panel was destroyed 🤷🏾♂️
I really comprehend and know what you mean by showing the beauty of people's hard work but at the same time a lot of people can't afford to constantly go back in with their phones repaired cuz phone repairs are high nowadays
Really good points you made and I seriously start considering going caseless. I've had my Galaxy S8 for 7 years now, when I bought it, I didn't unbox it until the Spigen case arrived. 😅 Barely left the case since then. Apart from some wear around the charging port and the camera edges, the screen and back are in immaculate condition. Pulled it out of the case a couple of days ago, and I wondered, how actually I never appreciated the design and sleek feel and look. The glass back which reflects so nice. How beautifully crafted the curved screen is.( and we're talking about an old ass phone). All in all, I'm considering going caseless for now and the next phone I upgrade. I think I've dropped my S8 not more than 10 times since I've owned it, so it's fair to say I'm pretty careful with my device. Anyway, great insight. Just like you said, what's the point of buying a nice leather sofa, and then wrapping it in plastic foil? Plastic foil which, invariably, you'll change quite often.
Well, I use my 15 pro Max without the case when I’m at home or same places that I know that it wouldn’t get a dangerous fall, but when I’m out I use a case because we never know jejejej
I remember being 19 with my first smartphone, and my dad pestered me to start using a phone case, immediately. Thing is, I loved the look and feel of my phone so much, and I figured ‘hey, I’ll never drop it.’ And put it off for like two weeks. Well one day I was listening to music, and bumped into someone on my way to class, a building over. I had to swallow my heart back down after barely breaking its fall onto hard asphalt. The thing was a small iPhone 4 like yours, and while the all black glass casing was dope, was real slippery. Next spirit week, I managed to find probably the only collegiate case for its size, and a paper thin screen protector. I never looked back😅. Every phone I buy stays suited and booted now.
i never liked phone cases, but my first couple phones were cheap android tracfones. one day i got promoted to the family plan and got a budget galaxy (samsung galaxy j7 i believe). it was the most expensive and quality phone i ever had. my old phones would barely even get a scratch when i dropped them but they were built like bricks. but one day, only a few weeks after i got the new phone, i was about to leave with my family to go somewhere and i picked up a basketball to get a quick layup in before i hopped in the car. that one decision traumatized me cuz before my feet hit the ground, my phone did, and the screen was shattered to the point where i could no longer use it. ever since that day i've been using tempered glass screen protectors and clear phone cases. even right now, i have a iphone se with a cracked screen protector. i replace the screen protector once a yr, as well as the case since it gets discolored over time, but i came to the conclusion that i'll just never be able to use a phone without a case. like i replaced the screen protector earlier this yr and cracked this new one less than a month later 🤦🏾♂😂
I mostly use without case but do put a case once in a while coz i get bored of the default look. A case just adds a lot of character. And as for drops i never dropped my huawei p20 in its 4.5 years of use so dont imagine dropping my 14 pro max anytime. And from the droptests on YT, it seems to break when dropped on concrete but on normal surfaces should be fine
I'm a welder and I like my iPhone to be in perfect condition, without a case it will get scratched in a few hours from raw metal surfaces and chips where I put it, I only remove the case on weekends and after hours
I used a Spigen Tough Armor on my LG G8 which added something like 50g of weight and it was overkill. It added so much bulk! But the phone itself was literally unusable without a case since it was super slippery. If the surface wasn't 100% flat, it would find a way to slip off.
I mean, it's kind of straightforward. If the luxury of enjoying your phone's design is worth the cost of insurance or the risk of breaking it and having to replace it, then go caseless. But for most people, that little luxury isn't worth the cost or risk.
@@georeschenI mean I’d rather not care about protecting my phone which is a little more bulky and worse feeling in the hand than having to be paranoid about it all the time.
Definitely don't have the expendable income to not have a protective case. If it breaks I won't be able to have another easily Edit: I don't agree with the examples used. An expensive phone in incomparable to so sofa and very much more fragile. All it takes is a single drop to have a cracked screen and unusable device. Like I mentioned before, if it breaks it's not gonna be the same experience for everyone. While you may able to go easily spend money on a repair or even a new phone, many people can't. A sofa can take a beating, a phone can't.
I only put a case cause I’m a blue collar man and if I have no case my phone would be obliterated on the first few days lol so I guess I’m just trying to avoid buying a new phone every other week lol
I still wear a case for my iPhone because I don't consider Apple to be the standard like you. Simply because I like to customize my life richly and comfortably rather than focusing too much on an item designed by someone else.
@@georeschen and scratch th screen or back everytime you put it down? No thank you. It's more jewellery than protection but it still has the elevated corners.
Hey. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. I recently treated myself to an iPhone 15 and I'm also thinking all the time, do I put it in a case, yes or no? And actually I want it to look new for a long time, no scratches and quirks. But it's like you say: It's a product where many people have worked on it, who have worked thousands of hours on the design, feel and look and in the end this great product ends up in a chunky case that hides all this work and design. What surprised me in the end: Did I hear "Tschüss und bye bye" in the last sentences? Oh, in the video, the location is tagged as Graz in Austria =) Viele Grüße aus Deutschland =)
congrats on the 15! one additional thought: what for keeping it flawless when it stays in the case forever so noone can even see if there are scratches 😆. Yep, aus Graz - Grüße zurück nach 🇩🇪 😊 meine Standart-Verabschiedung: Tschüss und Baba... 🙋🏻♂️
This video kinda inspired me to go Caseless. I'm using an IPhone Xs Max and from day one I had it in an Otterbox and never took it out, last month I was cleaning my phone and had the bright idea to not use this big bulky case and to see how it felt to use without it. I kinda had to learn how to reuse my phone and to treat it with more respect but thankfully I haven't dropped it and the screen protector protects the front, my phone feels like a whole new phone without the case thanks for the video 👍👍
If the iPhones had more grip I wouldn't use a case. But for me at least, it's like holding on to a bar of soap. I almost dropped it in the first few seconds of carrying it. Maybe the iPhone 15 Pro Max will have more traction to it.
Main reason why i never use a case and screen protector? I just hate them, and how it feels. Further all i have no other explanation😂 never dropped it tho. It has lots of micro scratches but idc much about that. Still rocking my iPhone 11 for 4 years fully naked.
@@georeschenpeople I’ve seen on Reddit, about scratches on their new iPhones and they immediately replace the whole unit for a new model, only because of 2-3 micro scratches😂😂 people forget that a phone is meant to be used and not to baby it. People all have OCD lol.
It's still safe when we have phone cases. I accidentally dropped my phone from upper double deck bed and it has a case so it got no damage. I had a phone I dropped without a case and it has damages already especially the volume and power button.
I perfer cases because you can get a designed phone case, better grip, protection, and assossries with it. Also I've never cracked any of my android phones and now I'm gonna switch to the iphone 15's or wait for the 16s
Sure, if you prefer the look and feel of the case over the original design, that's perfectly fine 🎈Great that you switch to iPhone, just my opinion again: I'd wait for the 16 😬 ☀️
@@georeschen Ye I will because my Mum is buying me a phone and a mac book in November. Also do u know if it's gonna come out in New Zealand in September as well? Also is the iPhone 15 plus battery life gonna be better than the iPhone 16 plus? Because there's a 300mah difference and I thought that there changing the batteries.
I agree....but my wallet does not! Haha but seriously, a case has always bugged me, I could never appreciate my awesome phones. The one time I did go without a case I broke that phone in under a year.
