I do not use a case, and my Pixel continues to be in pristine situation

Telephone circumstances are massive enterprise. Everybody I do know has a minimum of one, and it’s the primary accent they purchase when getting a new telephone. And whereas I get the logic behind wanting to guard your costly new system from bumps and bruises, I can’t get myself to purchase one.

Circumstances suck. There, I stated it. Skinny, cumbersome, white, inexperienced, and every little thing in between, I hate all of them. And whereas I do use a type of safety for my system in sure situations — extra on that later — I’ve managed to reside and not using a normal telephone case whereas nonetheless retaining my Pixel, in addition to all the opposite telephones I used previously, scratch-free. And it’s not even that tough.

I hear individuals arguing about which colour of the newest Galaxy and Pixel telephone is the best-looking one, and a few actually have a arduous time deciding which to purchase. And as soon as they lastly determine and get a tool, they slap an inexpensive $10 plastic case on it that not solely hides the colour of the telephone, however its beautiful design as properly. That by no means made sense to me.

I’m a visible individual and wish to see the design of the costly system I purchased. I need to see the colour that adjustments its hue when the sunshine hits it. I additionally need to really feel the premium supplies flagship telephones are made from. The metallic body that’s chilly to the contact in winter months and the glass again with its silky, slippery texture. I need to see and really feel the telephone in my hand as is, with out including an inexpensive case in between.

All telephone circumstances feel and look low cost to me. They add bulk to a tool, even when they’re on the thinner aspect. That being stated, I’d slightly simply threat a attainable accident and go caseless. I’ve been doing it for the reason that first telephone I purchased, and I don’t plan to vary that anytime quickly.

Nevertheless, I do defend my telephone in sure conditions. As a substitute of a case, I exploit a sleeve (like this one), however I solely use it once I go locations. So once I throw the telephone in my pocket, I put it within the sleeve first so {that a} key or one thing else which may be in there doesn’t scratch it. And once I want it, I simply pop it out of the sleeve and begin utilizing it. What’s nice about it’s that two of my final telephones had been roughly the identical measurement, so I didn’t even want to purchase a brand new sleeve when shifting from a OnePlus to a Pixel.

Whereas at residence, the telephone is rarely within the sleeve because it’s an excessive amount of of a problem for me to drag it out and put it again in 50 occasions per day — I do know, I’m lazy. It simply sits on the desk subsequent to me, on the couch, the mattress, the kitchen counter, and wherever else in the home I could also be at a time and have my telephone with me.

Regardless of being caseless, I’ve by no means damaged the display screen of any telephone I’ve used, and I’ve used loads of them. I’ve by no means damaged the again panel, and I hardly even scratched a telephone I had. It’s not that tough — simply don’t throw the rattling factor on the bottom. I do know it’s simpler stated than carried out, however I usually don’t have an issue with dropping issues on the bottom. I’m not saying it’s by no means occurred, but when it did, the telephone managed to get away with it and not using a scratch.

I all the time make sure that to place the telephone down on a flat floor when not in use, away from attainable hazard. I additionally don’t fiddle with it in my hand like lots of people, which is when most accidents occur. And if I’ve it in my pocket and it by chance drops out and hits the bottom, the sleeve is there to avoid wasting the day. What can I say, I actually have all my bases lined.

Certain, maybe you’re clumsier than me and want a case, however for many people who find themselves aware and don’t fiddle with their units, a case isn’t as wanted as society makes you consider. Sure, accidents occur. However consider it this manner: you most likely wouldn’t wrap your automobile in bubble wrap each time you parked it, proper? So why smother your telephone in a cumbersome case in the event you don’t find it irresistible? Maybe it’s not a totally truthful comparability, however you get my level right here.

Nevertheless, in the event you like circumstances due to the supplies used or the colours they provide, that’s a special story. Keep it up. There’s nothing unsuitable with utilizing a case, simply don’t slap it on as a result of the gross sales man at your native electronics retailer instructed you you could’t reside with out it. Nevertheless, there’s nothing unsuitable with going fully caseless, both. Or with utilizing only a sleeve, which presents the right steadiness of safety and freedom for me personally.
