Phone Cases Are Pointless?! Why Do We Care About The Design Of A Smartphone?

[@jovrien]

Just remember that whenever you remove your iPhone case, the floor be like 😏

[@foxtechh]

Hence my point... phones should be made of plastic on the back not glass

[@fonzo2525]

I dropped my phone while trying to put it in the case,I felt like such a loser 😕

[@ablanuza76]

I don't care how a phone "feels". I'm more concerned with internal specs and the screen quality. That said, I always use a case.

[@foxtechh]

That's exactly my point. Doesn't matter what it's made of when people use a case... Could save money and use plastic rather than glass. But yeah the feel is less important than internals and software and how it all works together ofc.

[@mbaxter22]

Thank you! I’ve been saying this forever. Phone chassis’ should all just be made of plastic/polycarbonate because they’re going to be in a case anyways. Manufacturers should just concentrate on the internals.

[@foxtechh]

100% agree! Really couldn't agree more... The fact people just use cases anyway means phones shouldn't be made of glass on the back. 🤜🤛

[@gaming_playground1]

Look many tech reviewers are complaining about some phones material but most users will put a case in the phone so glass is pointless

[@pongchannel.]

@@foxtechh exactly but then they'd make less money:/

[@toranp.8942]

The Apple Watch lets you do most basic tasks when you’re out and about without needing to pull out your iPhone at all. I use my iPod, iPad, and MacBook without cases, so now I’m thinking that maybe I should take it off the iPhone too Edit: It’s a metal iPhone, not a glass one

[@zeblackboi]

I only use a case when I'm working heavy outdoors but as soon as I'm indoors, the case comes right off.

[@oneminutewonder77]

I love using my phone with no case, I do use one when I know that I am going to be doing something when the risk is higher to drop it. Other than that though if they're gonna make my phone look like jewelry then why not use it?

[@foxtechh]

EXACTLY, that’s the way to look at it. If they’re gonna put so much time into design and materials, then it’s best to be used without a case as much as possible. Better experience that way. Nice!

[@makalmariego7841]

remember when samsung used to use plastic on their phones? there’s an uproar from the people to use premium materials.

[@codgamerla]

Completely agree. I use a phone case on my iPhone and it completely changes the feel of the phone. And you can barely see the back of the phone so what’s the point in making a fancy design. Could easily just save consumers a load of money and make lighter more reliable phones for sure. Great video! Smashed it foxtech☺️☺️ love the beginning btw!

[@pongchannel.]

There are phones that dont care about the design they just dont use it well for something like a removable battery

[@soledfamily]

Ye, I got an iPhone 13 pro but I'm getting a case for more protection. I'd rather pay $70 for a case than a $700 screen replacement

[@jmac_2x]

If you have apple care which is only $10 screen replacement is only $30

[@ranranPh]

Yes it happen if you arr careless thats it

[@emmettonyt6557]

i do not use a case for my phone cases are for people that can not take good care of there stuff.

[@addictedgamer3372]

True I'm using without a case never drop it since last year.

[@MrNicePotato]

I am so mad when I have my brand new iphone 13 mini with its perfect size, and my phone case finally arrived after two weeks, slapped it on, and it legit feels like a iphone 13 with a mini screen now... What a bummer.

[@foxtechh]

Yeah exactly, cases change how the phone is meant to feel! Always gonna make them feel more bulky, skins are nice to keep things slim

[@BlackopsUSN]

There are not pointless because they offer drop protection regardless of how strong glass the phone is made with Remember "glass is glass and glass is gonna break" (jerryrigeverything).

[@foxtechh]

Agree glass is glass and glass breaks... so phones maybe shouldn’t be made of just glass? We spent hundreds on phones and then put plastic cases on them.

[@mbaxter22]

I don’t think you watched the video. Perhaps it should have been titled “Glass backed phones are stupid “.

[@plamenpurvanov5451]

I would like to replace the word "premium" with "fragile" for phones...

[@foxtechh]

Agreed with that! So fragile these days

[@plamenpurvanov5451]

@@foxtechh for me cell phones are first and foremost tools made to serve. And being made of so fragile materials for me is more of an downgrade than upgrade. They are made to be worn everywhere with us. Not to stay on the closet like a vase.

[@foxtechh]

That's why I think plastic backed phones are really underrated. Agree to a point with your thoughts on it 👍

[@INNOVATE72877]

Totally right! My take is that there should be some type of protection, just not cases that conceals the design of the phone. So I decided, two days ago, to come up with my own innovation: it'll be simple but effective.

[@doctorsora]

I use my google pixel 6 pro without a case and I am McDonald’s 😎

[@anaymakan6989]

team case, if iPhone repairs were cheaper then sure, but £400 to £500 for front and back replacement is too much on a 13 Pro, especially when you can find another iPhone used on ebay for £450

[@AveryyHW]

I have a product red and it looks so beautiful 😍 especially in the daytime. I hate cases, the designers design these phones and you go and slap a plastic case defeats the purpose of showing off your beautiful design. Been rocking case less for 7 years and never crack.

[@dtincworldnews8922]

I'm not clumsy but I do know that anything can happen so that's why I wear a phone case. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@foxtechh]

For sure anything can happen and makes sense to be sensible... for me personally I’ve started to go without a case IF it’s a metal or glass backed phone if the camera bump isn’t massive 👍

[@thundersoftwares7986]

I know its two years later but I'm gonna say something. Phone manufacturers make the phones in a way that needs us to buy other accessories like phone cases, dongles, apple is even selling a wipe cloth. I like the feel of my phone without a case, but I also like it without any cracks so I slap a nice case on it.

[@BlkREPR]

👍🏿

[@colindoyle9876]

What about heat dissipation? Everyone pretend like it's not a thing? Am I going to cook my battery vs no case?

[@ΕλένηΒισαξή-ω6η]

That is a problem about heat especialy in summer. Its to hot inside there.

[@slaydog5102]

No a big deal

[@amrsaed.]

I never use a case I like to see and feel my phone , I appreciate effort behind the design, and if I put a case , why I would be care how the phone looks , or what materials the phone made of , or which color I would buy . I like my phone to be naked

[@dhruvshah8845]

It's just funny to me at this point, Hypothetically speaking if you get a $100 phone, people keep another $50 just to buy the case and screen protector to protect their phone

[@deborahglover0112]

My phone is made of plastic. I can't afford to have an I phone Although my phone is plastic I still want to protect it. I can't stand having scratches and dents on my phone also because it is plastic I do want to add that extra protection

[@jeffanas]

Went i home i remove my iphone case if i go out i have too use case i dont trust myself went im outside without my phone case xD

[@3iu0wmxxpxyn8]

i still like glass but now heat from cases is what worried me but i guess still doesnt exist case that doesnt produce heat (silicone less do but its BS that doesnt deffend from fall)

[@fonzo2525]

Another point is what color the phone is,who cares,it's getting a black case in most cases anyhow...see what i did there??😁

[@Hahejo]

I just use a screen protector, then I set the phone facedown on the table.

[@izrankamal3080]

I love Samsung A8 because the body is made of fully metal

[@lundwipro]

I honestly don't prefer phone case because it makes more uncomfortable to hold weight increases uselessly. Even more back of the phone just disappear after using. It's better to be more careful with the phones . Accident happens but case heats the phone as well specially in India where weather is normally higher in summers . Well Apple won't remove their back glass other companies can but impossible from Apple side they are popular for premium and most of the companies specially OnePlus copies them simultaneously.

[@DJ_BIB]

since camera is popout, how to put nake phone on table ?

[@slob5041]

I think it has more to do with psychology than actual fact

Great video! I can share your opinion. I have suscribed.

[@foxtechh]

Wow thanks! Glad you liked it and welcome to the channel 😄

[@charlesforbin8526]

Flat displays and plastic bodies are much more convenient. Phones breaking became a thing after glass backs became a thing, it's almost like they want you to break your phone. A lightweight plastic phone will survive a drop much better than a two heavy pieces of glass with a metal frame around them.

[@coconspirator]

Plastic bodies also dissipate impact energy better through deformation, while metal edges transfer it towards the glass on the screen and on the back, signifigantly increasing the chance of shattering it. Last week I dropped my Xiaomi phone (all glass of course...) while walking to the station and trying to look up the train schedule at the same time. It landed screen down on a small rock and the screen died instantly, even though it had a silicone case and a glass screen protector installed. Had to pay 50% of the phone price to have it replaced as well as wait a week for the part to arrive -- completely ridiculous how both fragile and expensive these things are nowadays!

[@foxtechh]

Yeah I had a case on my OnePlus 7 Pro too and that’s smashed on the front and back haha agree, they’re so fragile and expensive these days, I think it needs to stop. Plastic/polycarbonate, if done well, is so underrated 👍 thanks for the comment Dan

[@MIKE.TANGO.SIERRA]

I love the look of glass, but if it was made from metal I’d be in love and probably keep the phone for years

[@lexingtonlad5745]

I’ve just purchased an iPhone 11, I felt I had to put a case on it as it is super slippy.

[@7654321220]

@@foxtechh Yes, I'm perfectly fine with plastic. And I don't need a screen protector as the wallet flip is a de facto one

You could put a skin over it.

[@MotorcycleMan1962]

I prefer a HD film instead of glass for a screen protectorss The film is inexpensive to replace and I've seen independent Japaneese labs compare glass with film in test. The plastic stops oscillations and protects the screen better.

[@addictedgamer3372]

Phone feel so much safer in case... 📱 But it gets very hot in case i already broke my display once because i try to go caseless. 😭 I try to keep it cool as much as possible in case.

Many people I've known that that refuse to use a case seem to be doing so because they consider their choice of phone to be their personal statement of high fashion, and social class. And don't get them started about fingerprints!
