      I don’t use cases.

      When I worked a more active job, I used them religiously. I thoroughly tested OtterBox’s warranty.

      Now that I work a desk job, I’m much less worried about breaking my phones. I put a skin on them for the aesthetics and improved grip. Over 4 years case-free on 4 phones, zero issues.

        Does your current phone have a glass back? I would think that would be extra slippery

          Yeah, but with a skin on it doesn’t really matter. Even without the skin, it wasn’t that bad. But the skin definitely improves the grip.

      Never had a case for my phone. And in 13 years of owning a smart phone, I only had a single broken screen this summer. And in that case, a phone case wouldn’t have helped protect it.

      It’s really not hard to not drop it is you’re careful.

      And I have small hands, which doesn’t help
