I don’t like the feeling of a naked iPhone these days. I can afford the newest model every year (not the wisest choice though), but it’s way too wasteful to allow the phone to degrade so quickly without care. It could be used by a family member or my child later on and I kinda feel it’s silly not to use the case. Also I don’t feel like I even enjoy to hold a slippery phone, plus some cases are so cool and pretty. P.S. remember using Nokias and Blackberry phones case free? Was amazing. Indestructible!!
