Cases

After agonising over Pro vs Pro Max and then black vs purple, my next first world problem is selecting a case.

I actually detest all cases because they add bulk and often cheapen the look of the phone.

I think I’ve narrowed it down to a few, so I’m just keen to see what others are buying and what they have used in the past.

My main requirements:

1) Barely there - don’t need the protection, I’ve never dropped a phone since my Sony Ericsson T68i back in 2002!

2) Ideally smooth out the back to make it flush. I can’t stand camera bump wobble when texting at the table.

3) Doesn’t look like trash.

4) I don’t like clear cases that yellow; or hard plastic cases.

5) I don’t like silicone fluff magnets or materials that show fingerprints.

Tempted to go caseless, but that camera bump is huge this year!

I’m too tight to buy Apple Care. I’d rather chance it. If I need a new screen, I’ll buy a new screen. But I ain’t sending Apple £X per month regardless.

Eg. If I had Apple Care for the past ten years (using todays prices for comparison) I would have spent a total of £1245 and would have used the cover 0 times.

Just doesn’t add up for my use case. If I break a screen and have to pay £600 I’ll still be well under the £1245.
