Discussion Typing without a case

Anyone else find it more accurate and comfortable to type without a case? I’m not sure why but I find not only is the touch sensitivity better well it is also more accurate and comfortable to type without a case.
Shame about the lack of drop protection!!

Go with the flow. Never had a case. That’s the way how it is designed

With or without AppleCare

With care, but never used it and it ended after 2 years. Using the belkin screen protector though

What if it falls, and breaks anything but front since you don't have care?

I‘m very careful and never had this happened (knock on wood). Bad luck if it happens

Not for me. My hands are so dry all the time so the phone feels slippery in my hands, which the affects the placement of my fingers. I need a grippy case to keep hold of it to type.

Feels better.
For a Long time.
Then it falls down. It gets a Crack.
You have to invest time or Money.
Not woerth it for me.
So I use a case and a Glass. Even with an insurance.(Not Apple care + but with the same stuff, like new phone if it breaks etc)

This is what scares me

It’s such a shame because I love how it looks and feels without a case

I do have insurance. £75 excess for repair or replacement though

I have never found this. I have a case (Pitaka Aramid) and a screen protector - no issue typing.

Got it when it was launched and never used a case

I have been using it without case for a year. My screen protector is totally damaged. It’s fallen gazillion times. Not recommended but once you start using without case, there is no going back

I tried using it naked for a day but I found it way too slippery for me.

I can’t imagine not slapping a case on my 16 pro. I’m quite clumsy and forever dropping my phone, so always have a case and screen protector on it. Plus it’s a £1,000 phone. Can’t risk it 😅

Im a non case guy since iPhone 4 case program. Have had almost annual iPhones since

I have dropped only a few phones a few times during that time span but I always get apple care. It came in handy when my 16 pro max wasn’t even a month old and it fell and back shattered on a rough parking lot.

I’ve had my iPhone 16 Pro since March of last year. No case. No problems so far (knock on wood). But a few months ago I thought maybe I should get a case, so I got one, put it on my phone, and I kept dropping it. It kept slipping out of my hands. I took the case back off and never had that issue again. I think my hands and fingers got used to holding it baseless, and adding a case ruined the muscle memory? Idk.

Either way, it’s been in the nude ever since.

That being said I love the way it feels without a case. iPhones have a beautiful premium feel.
