@amit My theory on this is that if you cover your expensive device with a 10$ piece of silicone, you’re going to treat it as a 10$ device. I constantly see people doing horrible things to their phones: toss it into a bag full with heave and/ or sharp objects, holding it very loosely…

In contrast, without a case you really feel the actual value of the device.

Whenever I have to hand my caseless phone to someone, they usually treat it very, very carefully, often even holding it with both hands.

In short, phones with a case get dropped more often and will likely get damaged before a caseless phone.
