Do you use a case on your phone?
>>
no i not gay
>>
>>59917990

Yes, I throw a $10 piece of plastic on my $600 pocket computer to help protect it.

Why the fuck wouldn't you do that?
>>
yes, the caseless 6P is slippery as shit (almost as bad as iphone)
>>
Any good case for the 6p that also lets me put a couple cards inside for storage?
>>
I didn't on my old phones but the pixel felt so droppable and I paid full retail for it so I went full ape tier and got a case for it.

Ashamed as fuck but I won't drop it now at least
>>
>>59918059
The pixel is a phone worth dropping though desu

>>59918066

>>
yes i even bought a screen protector
>>
>>59917990
Yes
>>
Thin case and a glass screen protector on my Oneplus 3T.
>>
>>59917990
I've had an Otterbox Commuter on my Note 5 since I got it. It's a fantastic case other than a few minor annoyances (dirt gets trapped easily, thinner plastic parts tend to break).
>>
>>59917990
No case, no screen protector.
Why would I ruin the intended ergonomics and aesthetic of the device? Why would I ruin the display quality by gluing some shitty plastic on it?

I have been using many smartphones since 2009 and never broke a single one of them.
Why normies are so clumsy and retarded?
>>
>>59917990
Nope, my phone looks too good to put a case on it. Dropped it two times though and got a small scratch in the corner.
>>
>>59918745
Oh, and I have a second unit of my phone so I could swap the case for a perfect one if I wanted.
>>
>>59917990
I have a Nillkin hard case making my phone less slippery.

I don't drop my phone because I'm not a retard.
>>
Yes, a wallet case.
>>
>>59918662
>intended ergonomics

Maybe we have different ideas on the definition of "ergonomic" but almost every flagship now is a slippery over-sized bar of soap made from glass and aluminum, pretty much the opposite of ergonomic imo. Face it, phones are made now to strictly look good on the display shelf so dumb normies will buy them when they walk into their carrier store, but the actual ergonomics, usability, and durability is shit. Also you might have clammy hands which helps to hold onto these slippery phones better compared to people with dry hands. Personally I use a thin TPU cases which adds grip with minimal increase in bulk and keeps the frame from getting dinged or scratched if it falls.
>>
>>59918516
God tier case, these. I always went caseless when I had android phones because the cases were all butt ugly, but I went to apple this past fall and I saw how nice the SE leather case was. Plus the phone is so small and slim it doesn't really bother me

i hate the ugly cutout on the 6/7 version
>>
Only because it also doubles as my wallet. I don't carry more than 1-2 notes in cash, so i figured i'd drop my wallet for a wallet case so that i would always have my two most important things in one. Easier to keep track of.

No, my Moto E 2nd gen has a bumper built into it

i've used this since i bought the phone. i like the look of it, especially because it hides those awful faux chrome borders of the phone itself. i've also gone through 2 screen protectors, i don't think i'd ever dare using a smartphone ever again without a case and screen protector. even though i'm generally careful about handling my phone, accidents still happen. i hope to keep this phone for at least 1 more year until i start earning a wage. though, i'm a bit miffed by OPO having released like 5 phones since the OPO came out, and this phone is still a beast

No I don't use a case because I don't give a shit about disposable tech like a phone

Yeah some generic $10 case from Walmart for my iPhone 5

Yes. I have never majorly dropped my phone but if that happens i don't know if i could afford a new one. If i will ever be rich enough i'll stop using cases, they look and feel ugly

Not really following you here, in what way does leather mean belt clips?

It's a pretty simple case:

I do (I have an S5), but I'm not even sure why. I've dropped my phone only twice in the past 6 years or so. Of course if I take it off, I'll probably drop it withing a few days, because that's how life is.

They make plastic cases that clip to a belt too.

Once again, why do you think "leather" implies "clips to belt"?

Nope. Hate cases. Bit of a pain with my Z3 though. Crappy thing slides of any surface.

I bought one for my Moto G4 and I'm starting to regret it. The thing is bulky and heavy enough that It's making me not want to use my goddamn phone. I'm sure it'll resist whatever fall it takes but I'm wondering if the G4 can actually resist that. I've been using a chinese cheap phone for 2 years, dropping it like a dumbass and it didn't break, so what are the chances...?

Cases meant for android phones are analogous to the plastic covers that lower middle class people put on their furniture "investment". This is because android fans are preoccupied with not being seen as caring about their appearance, to the point where they go out of their way to seek out ugly, clunky, unattractive things. To do otherwise might be seen as "putting on airs" which would cause a loss of face among their community

By contrast, cases meant for iPhones are analogous to a fine oriental rug. They may serve a functional purpose but are primarily chosen for A E S T H E T I C S because the owners understand that "fashion" infuses every choice we make and seeking ugliness due to fear of greatness is abhorrent

So you're serious then.

IDK man. I grew up with IBM PS/2 boxes, so I just don't have the reverence you guys do with smart phones. You guys see it one way - as an incredibly powerful pocket computer that will save the species, but I see them as a locked down botnet device created to monetize every facet of my our existence. I literally almost quit my job when they bought us iphones and forced us to use them for work. I was happy with my nokia brick. It made calls. It texted. It had a calculator. It also ran for fucking ever on it's nuclear powered finn battery.

Don't get me wrong. I'm happy people recognize smart phones for the incredible technological acheivement they represent, but I'll probably never feel "good" about them. It's just another worry.
>>
>>59920760
Who the fuck is "you guys"? I grew up with a 5150, just because you're old doesn't mean you have to carry yourself like a fucking slob.
>>
Is there a case with a built-in screen so you can have a cool anime theme playing
>>
>>59920814

I'm probably not much older than you, but your hostile response to a polite post makes me question that predisposition. I fail to see how viewing technology differently makes me a "slob". I just don't have respect for smart phones. I'll put a cheap case on it, but if it breaks later today, I'll still sleep well tonight.

It's funny because not too long ago all the tin-foils were saying the government was going to put RF-ID chips in us. Nobobody really believed it, but lo and behold everyone got one anyway through their precious smart phones. Not only that, they paid for the privelage.

I still love technology and I always have, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable of critical thinking.
>>
>>59920902
What makes you a slob is your hostility to taking care of your appearance, whether this means exercising, having a nice haircut, wearing nice clothes, or having a nice looking phone (and I don't care how nice looking your phone was when you took it out of the box, if you slap an ugly ass rubber thing on it, you might as well have gotten the ugliest phone on the market)

>It's funny because not too long ago all the tin-foils were saying the government was going to put RF-ID chips in us

Not really sure what that has to do with aesthetics. You carry a smart phone, you're being tracked. Yes, even if it's one of those Phil Zimmerman phones that broadcasts to The Man that you're a paranoiac. Especially if you're one of those people who bought one.

Also, you are not older than me. You are, in fact, younger than me. Google the 5150, it came out before, or around the same time as, your birth.
>>
I have a JXD S5800, so no cases exist for my phone
>>
>>59921011

Still stuck on the slob thing huh? If you're at all interested I'm 6'1", 180 lbs, brown haired blue eyed, so, sorry, I'm actually quite good looking and healthy.

Anyway, I never said tracking had to do with aesthetics. You implied that because I didn't use a cover that costs as much as the phone, I didn't care about my appearance. I then replied that I simply don't like smart phones period, giving my reasons why.

Also, first I'm a grandpa, and now you're older then me? When would the computer being made matter? Did they all self destuct after the 80's so no one could ever use them again?

Just trying to have a conversation, but you're being overly hostile - even for this shit hole, and not really reading the posts, so I'm out. Happy Easter.

>>59921116
>If you're at all interested I'm 6'1", 180 lbs, brown haired blue eyed
Not sure when brown hair was a function of how well you took care of yourself. Is it dyed or something?

>Also, first I'm a grandpa, and now you're older then me?
You claimed to be the grandpa, remember? I never mentioned age until you brought it up.

>When would the computer being made matter?
You tell me. You're the one who started with this "I'm older than /g/ so listen up youngsters" nonsense. And now you're pulling the "I'm too mature for /g/" act since your entire argument against having a good looking case was "I'm older than you" and some irrelevant tinfoil stuff.

Sorry you can't defend your point of view without trying to pull rank with this year of birth shit.

Being able to mistreat your smartphone is a huge plus.
It is intended to be with me every hour of every day, of every month until it breaks or it becomes obsolete, I have to get from it good news and bad news, it has to follow me on the table of nice restaurants and while I climb a high point in a castle's dungeon full of dirt with the torch on to change a projector's settings (it happened lol).
I never drop anything of value and I get a lot of valuable stuff on my hands (like 30k+ videocameras), but the phone is different, I'm not supposed to care about something so close to me. It just needs to work.

they're alright cases. nothing special. but if you like slim cases, then go ahead. they're quality enough. not worth their pricetag imo

I think it was the S5 that had a leather back and it was so nice to hold. Now I have the 7 and I have to use a case because I might as well be holding a bar of soap
>>
>>59917990
No, I just use a skin and a screen protector.
>>
>>59917990

I use a Spigen case for my 6p. If you want a good case, go with a Spigen one. Applies to iPhones as well.
>>
First 6-12 months I use a case. After that I get tired of the bulk and my phone goes nude. This new gen of phones seems to be really fragile though. I've dropped my Nexus 5 countless times with no case and there's no cracks or dents. Really I think part of the problem is they're trying to thin out the bezels as much as possible.
>>
phone fell out on marble floor from pocket.
No dents, scratches or anything. Looks sexy af
$12 well spent!
>>
>>59917990

Why would you use a case?
You just need a screen protector.
>>
>>59917990
I'm a clumsy fuck, so yeah. Everyone should use a screen protector because just pulling your phone in and out of your pocket will eventually scratch it.
