I choose to be a lifetime smartphone raw dogger by choice because I refuse to use any type of Protection on my phones whatsoever. So as part of my job, I test a whole variety of smartphones every year. I think I use like at least 25 phones a year because that’s the job I do. And the smartphone companies always happen to have like these wild durability claims, the only way I can test them is if I just use the phones normally day to day without a case. But on another level, I also appreciate smartphone design and I like to feel the actual phone I’m using in my hand as I’m using it. But I will always recommend that if you’re a normal person without infinite access to money or like an infinite stream of smartphones, please use a case because they give you Protection and also they’re just a fun way to customize your phone to add a bit more personality.
