[@mattliller]

Glad you can appreciate the great lengths I went through!!

[@E6MND]

I have dropped my iPhone 13 Pro 3 times from waist height. 2 of those times it wasn’t in a case, and cracked a rear camera lens, and the other it chipped the bottom of the screen. It survived the drop in a leather case. If you go case-less, purchase insurance!! Using cases with a lip has always negated the need for a screen protector for me and I’ve had no issues with micro scratches on the display.

[@userharrisel]

I use only screen protector (tempered glass) because, without it, the phone loses its oleophobic coating overtime and gets lots of finger prints/smudges on it (which you have to clean often with microfiber cloth)

[@justspeed1005]

so you like the feel of a shit glass instead of the oleophobix coating. why do you get a new phone then, just to keep it for resell instead of enjoying it?

[@josephpepe2607]

AppleCare and a screen protector for me,no case ever

[@Nathan15038]

0:40 Yes as someone who went caseless like a few months after getting the 14 ProMax that is exactly what I’m trying to explain and say. Like Apple designed it like this to help hold it I swear because it feels like it digs in is easier to hold them around in case. And the drawbacks are very understandable. It’s an easy place in my phone on my table or any surface that is not soft cause I was worried that I might scratch my camera or my screen when I put it flat down and it’s hard to pick up.

[@mattliller]

Thank goodness they brought back squared edges. I had an iPhone X that’s nearly impossible to hold caseless.

[@magisk6767]

I hate cases, I used a silicone case and it keeps collecting dust, I mean hell it can replace the vacuum cleaner because it collects so much lint.

[@mattliller]

I HATE how the dust collects around the lightning port and speakers with a case. Looks terrible.

[@magisk6767]

@@mattliller same, It’s really annoying, I have to constantly wipe my phone everyday to clean the lint and dusts that it picks up.

[@MrTdogg175]

I just have a good quality screen protector, I always either have my phone in my hand, pocket, or if I place it somewhere I’m always only a few feet away at most, so I keep my volume on, and place my phone face down on the screen protector if I need to put it down outside my pocket. Still hear all my notifications come in, and no wobble. Also keeps my bare back glass and camera lenses from ever being on any surface that could scratch it. Only thing that bothers me is the damn fingerprints on the stainless steel. Has anyone else had this annoy them to no end but got over it? If so, how did you get over that part?

[@mattliller]

Very smart idea, and I second the issue with fingerprints. Just one of the joys of the iPhone!

[@jaywright9635]

There is no solution to the fingerprint issue on the stainless steel. It sucks but you either learn to live with them, or have some sort of cloth around and continuously wipe them down 😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[@KingTechHD]

I went w/o a case for a few weeks & the back is perfect. I also got 2 micro scratches out of no where (my phone is always by itself in my pocket). Got a screen protector & leather case. Peace of mind

[@mattliller]

The scratches do seem to pop up unexpectedly. I’m thinking of adding a screen protector myself.

[@Sideveien]

I feel like the screen on the 14 pro do get alot more scratches than the 13 pro

[@JanellsLife]

I just bought my phone a magically there’s 2 scratches

[@imaburntbanana]

check out the arc case for the iphone, it gives you minimal drop protection but keeping your phone as naked as possible. It's a cool looking "case"

[@grantagus_75]

I might not get a case but a screen protector ofc because i like the look of the phone without it, mainly cus of the stainless steel sides

[@JUSTFORBIKESbhps]

Wow what a lovely drop test 👏🏻👏🏻

[@ddemonology]

I use a carbon fiber case and screen protector on my iPhone 13 Pro Max, sometimes I like to keep without a case but when it's an expensive and very good phone, I want to protect it. I have dropped it once without the case on the bathroom floor and there is a small crack in the upper left corner of the screen that you don't even notice

[@mattliller]

Completely agree on wanting to protect such a big purchase.

Are you still going caseless ? I might try

[@mattliller]

I’ve gone back a forth a few times, and like both for different reasons. I might recommend you commit to trying it for a week to see if it works for you.

[@pinytenis420]

I had my 12 pro max for almost 2 years and not once had a case or screen protector and the screen had micro scratches that’s it after a polish it looked better but not like I would’ve wanted so now I have a screen protector that’s it I can’t stand cases not only are they all ugly no matter what you get they’re bulky and make it hard to pull out your pocket reduce vibration and sound quality they can tear up the corners of your phone depending on how much you play with em or take em off and they give you a sense of security that they don’t provide I will always be case less from now on especially considering the innovations of gorrila glass and other shit like that

[@mattliller]

I agree with you, and have also been contemplating adding a screen protector.

[@pinytenis420]

@@mattliller screen protector and and the mindset to take care of your 1000 plus dollar purchase is all you need

[@johto]

No need to put the phone screen side down to protect the camera lenses, those "lenses" are actually the protection layer for the real lenses behind it. Because the distance between is so small, small nicks wont show up in the actual photos because the minimum focus and aperture...yeah the rocking is annoying. I rock naked but have a nice spigen EZ fit glass screen protector, it fits 100% because it came with a "placeholder" tool, its so accurate alligned that its hard to even see there is any screen protector.

[@mattliller]

I might have to check out that screen protector. Thanks for sharing.

[@yeahbuddy300lbs]

Never put a case on my 14 Pro Max, because the phone's already massive, a case would turn it into a damn brick. When I sold it, the buyer couldn't even believe it was never protected by a case, it looked brand new. iPhones have come a long way in terms of durability and scratch resistance. My 16 Pro won't be in a case either!

[@mattliller]

I completely agree that cases aren’t a requirement these days.

[@AlexAegisOfficial]

I had a S21U, that thing is impossible to operate without a case. It slips out of your hand and you touch the edge of the display all the time (even with edge touch deadzone configurations) and I was thinking on upgrading to iPhone 15 once it comes out because of USB-C. But as soon as I saw the CAD leaks that it will have rounded edges I bought an iPhone 14. I'm not going to deal with bars of soap as phones again.. Got a screen protector and that's it, no case so far, and I don't plan to put on one either.

[@mattliller]

I can second that squared sides are way better to hold. I had an iPhone 10, and without a case it was like trying to hold a wet fish.
