Im using Samsung ultra and keep upgrading them, I have drop and crack the screen once becouse no case. Yes case is very important. I prefer the side silicone bumper case but now very rare to find. Then only you can feel the expensive feature ie slim, front back corning, very light & it help with the heat. Most cases spoil this.
I dont know why people put protection screen when you pay for latest corning & best screen view. It spoil the wonderful view and most time will crack or peel to add cost. I have tried the cheap & expensive proctector, more gimmick.

    This a very black and white question and the answer is yes
    without a case your phone likely get broken somehow and you need buy a new one
    also get a screen protector too
    like it or not you need them

      I use a case for one reason: I don't want to permanently attach with adhesive the little metal place that makes my phone stick to my dash while driving. Attaching that metal plate to an expensive phone just seems wrong. I use a case so I can just tape the metal plate inside the case, then put the phone in the case (hiding the metal plate). Works perfectly with the magnet on my dash, and doesn't ruin the phone.

        yes, phone cases not only protect the phone but it also gives the designer look. I recently purchase new phone cover from Hamee India-It is the best website for customize phone cover.

          There are cases, that are nearly useless. These are hard plastic ones that only protect back side, while front edges and frame are uncovered. They can't soften phone fall, and edges of frame aren't protected from scratches.

          I always have TPU/silicon case and tempered glass. It will always help you to save a lot of money.

            guys, you can't predict random exogenous events even out of your responsibility (that still will not be all focused on the health of your phone all day long, if you actually have a life). so get a tough case and put your energy and money and time in something more satisfatory than looking after a damaged piece of utility that should be a tool for the achievements of yourlife, not a goal in itself, if you aim to fulfil your potential as a human being. not to mention the possibility that some company may avoid producing more shock resistant phones, so the sales turnover is higher. i think im not gonna play this su _ _ er game. peace.

              remember a couple years ago when everybody was complaining to samsung to make their phones with better build quality and to stop using cheap plastic? So samsung fixed that with the s6 series and note 5 in 2015 but then the next thing you know, people just cover up their fancy galaxy note 9s and s9s in a case thats made out of PLASTIC

                          case are really important on a cell phone and your phone is safe and it can survive from a drop I had a lg G2 and now a G5 both devices has felt to the floor my current G5 was dropped by accident 1 week ago and im 100% sure that if it is not because of the 15us case that I putted on .. the screen now could be cracked . I do prefer any time a case over the phone design than a crack on my beloved phone .. ... now cases are well made as well there are ugly ones and beauty ones for everything is in the eye of the beholder have a good day

                            My Z2 don't use any case and it looks charming;) When I choose this phone I know it has the uni-body aluminium and glass front glass back, it is gorgeous and I have use a tempered glass on it, but I don't know flat glass back is very slippery during that time, fortunately it also has a eyelet hole I can attach phone charm and strap to get a very nice grip, it is very convenience and versatile to have a strap. I don't like the ring holder because I always handheld my phone seldom put the phone stand on the flat surface, but the benefit is the ring holder can set up as a phone stand. Overall Z2 build quality is superb, fall the phone deep and many times on many hard surface still alive. A unique case is great as a bumper, for better grip, transform into a phone stand, make phone more gorgeous, prevent phone scratched, water-resistant, power case and of course mimic as a lobster:)

                              Everybody is different from others. they have their own likes & dislikes. You can not be good for all. you are not bad for all. Though every1 iz different, dere is always a group of same minded persons.

                                Vegetaholic, 07 Aug 2018Cases a ment to protect expensive phones covered with fragi... moreIndeed those people who use phones with cracked screens are idiots. But they are not idiots because they didn't use phone cases.
                                They are idiots because they bought a phone which they can't afford to repair or replace in an instant. If you cannot afford to replace your phone the next day, you can't afford that phone.

                                Basically poor people who buy premium deviced (intended to be used by the upper social classes who can afford to break/lose them/replace them multiple times each month if needed) and then they need to wait for another 1-2 years until they save enough money for a new phone. Yep, those are the idiots - those who have average and low incomes and they spend much more than they can afford on stuff that is designed for those with high incomes.

                                  Cases a ment to protect expensive phones covered with fragile glass, enough said. I mean it's basically not possible not to drop the phone when you use it a lot and carry it around with you everywhere, it will definitely break one day if you not going to use case and you will be one of those (Sorry idiots or just ignorant people) who carry their phones with smashed screens and using them like nothing happened, it just looks awful. It makes bad first impression already about the person, telling about him that he is careless. Well it is my opinion but yeah, all the way for cases protecting your most important gadget!

                                    If it is borguis to pay for an expensive gadget and abuse it for 3 years until we bored by it. Then i might've been quite a borguis myself. By that, I cased my phone and trade it with a newer model each year. While prevent a quite significant price drop for my pristine used phone.

                                      always put a case
                                      1) smartphone maker wont make phone extra durable without case (except rugged phone)
                                      2) to protect the camera from getting scratched.
                                      hell i dont even mind to throw my phone deep inside the bag because i use a case+screen protector. i even covered the camera with DIY lens cap

                                        I hate these glass backs.
                                        My Nexus 5 never needed a case and never slipped of my hand.

                                        My S8+ is thin light but slippery with a fragile glass back. Now, it is bulky and heavy with the Samsung Soft touch cover/case. It doesn't make sense except burning more money for less.
