So I'm here just fiddling around with my phone and stuff. And a question popped in my head.

 

Do you use a case or screen protector for your phone? and why?

No. Companies put a lot of effort into the design of the phone in your hand, and most cases don't help at all for protection (otterbox defender excluded). I'll get a custom back thing for grip but other than that no.

I use a cheap case on my iPhone 4. I really prefer the feel and look of phones without cases, and I've only dropped my phone once, but I just don't want it to break. I don't use a a screen protector because most of them make the screen feel weird when you are using it, and they make the screen look worse imo.

No I don't use a case because I never really dropped my phone before. Only downside to that is the backside of the phone has a deep scratch on it. My thinking for never buying a case is the reason that it would be too bulky and would be a hard fit in my pockets.  Why buy a thin phone when you're going to make it bulky as hell? Just have a death grip on your phone so you don't drop it :P    

As for a screen protector, no, I'm just lazy to buy one and put it on. I probably should, but I am yet to get scratches on my phone.

I just used tempered glass so I get a layer of protection without that weird feeling of a regular screen protector.

Case I just use a Spigen one, definitely makes it a little bulky but gives me some piece of mind in case I drop the phone. Plus it adds some much needed grip to the phone

Yes to a case, no to a screen protector.

 

For cases, I like the extra bulk it adds, because it makes it easier to hold in my hand, and I like the added weight. Oh, and of course, for protection. Keep in mind that I use an Otterbox. 

 

As for screen protectors, I hate the feel of them. I have to press down on my screen a bit harder to input actions, which is no bueno for me. Oh, and I hate the possibility of air bubbles.

I do not normally like cases on phones but I did pick up this Case for my Nexus 5. It has protected my phone from various dings and scratches and hasn't made the phone feel worse to use (the materials feel great). The screen also unlocks when you open the case which is a very nice bonus. I would recommend Their cases to anyone who wants a good quality flip case for their phone.

Nope, though I bought an extended battery for my S3, so it came with a larger plastic back-plate. No case or screen protector though. I find that they usually cheapen the feel and look of the phone and ruin the ergonomics.

I rock it naked the only cases for Android phones I would consider are otter box cases and spigen metal cases those can actually protect it, for iPhones I really like those leather cases that Apple sells and those Mophie Juice packs and Juice boxes are compelling as well since they are a case,battery and a portable storage device. Tho if I want something I would just buy a decal maybe not for an iPhone since the cases it has are nice and really compelling to me

S-View Cover saved my phone's screen when I dropped it. It also has other functions.
