>be tech company >spend millions of dollars in R&D on smartphone >spend hours upon hours on coming up with an ergonomic design that is light and comfortable while feeling great to hold >be consumer >buy said product >slap on a huge, massive, cheap feeling case that you have to deal with constantly that (might) protect your phone if you drop it (if anything you’re more likely to drop it from try to shove that shit in your pocket or handling it) >completely ruin the nice feel on the phone, essentially like putting ketchup on a steak
phones are made of the cheapest metal possible, all looking completely identical except in margins around the touch screen and screen size and camera placement, its a complete fucking joke of design and garters absolutely no respect considering how similar and shitty they all look
what i keep protected and whats to be admired is the components and circuitry inside, its almost amazing what we can reduce in form factor because of the spending power of normies but because the gooks assembling my phone shipped it over to break as soon as possible i have to buy an ugly ass case that looks like it was made for protecting against down syndrome children throwing it against walls

>spend lots e mony on a fragile piece of glass&metal >don't protect it >it holds all your data, contacts, pictures etc >you now have to either buy a new phone and lose everything that isn't in the botnet or let some repair guy snoop on your phone
...or
>put a piece of plastic around the screen to get better grip and prevent any possible damage from accidents
inb4 "just take care of it xD" it's a stupid fucking argument it's like saying you don't need a helmet because for your entire life you never slipped and smashed your head on the concrete so far so what could possibly go wrong in the future?

If fools could see how foolish they were, we'd all be wise men. Don't bother pointing this out to them.

Apart from the odd retard like a few in this thread most of these cases are designed for trades people who would only use them at work. Normal people don’t need to protect there phone from being dropped from the roof of a house while installing tiles.
