My buddy swore the 'no case' phone life was the way to go

Last month my friend Tom told me to ditch my phone case because it 'ruins the design' and claimed he'd dropped his iPhone 15 six times with no damage. I tried it for a week and on day 4, my phone slipped out of my pocket getting out of my car at a Target in Austin. Cracked the whole back glass and it cost me $175 to fix it at a repair shop downtown. Has anyone else fallen for the no case trend or am I just clumsy?

Dude that sucks, I feel for you. I did the same thing for like two weeks after watching some YouTube video and my phone slid right off a wooden park bench. Ended up with a spiderweb crack in the corner that you can feel with your finger. It's not worth it no matter how careful you think you are, that $175 repair hurts way more than just keeping a case on.

@spencer664 you know what, I used to be one of those people who swore up and down that cases ruin the feel of the phone. I had this whole thing about how they were unnecessary if you just paid attention. Then I dropped mine on a concrete floor in a parking lot and watched it bounce and slide like a hockey puck. Cracked the screen right along the edge. That repair cost me more than dinner for a week. Now I just stick a thin case on it and don't even think about it. Funny how one bad drop can make you see things totally different, right?
