Some of these companies are now designing the phone on the assumption you're going to case it. No other reason to make a Pixel camera bump w/ scratch-vulnerable screen stick out so far.


If that is the case, then either the phone should come with a case or it should not be marketed as a complete product.

How about making the phone more durable by adding 1 mm to its thickness, so that a 50 gram, 4 mm thick case won't need to be added.


I used my case not so much to protect my device, although it definitely does, but so I can hold onto the damn thing.

Without a case it's like holding the last gasps of a bar of almost flat soap. Also keeps it from sliding off surfaces.


If a phone needs a case, then phones should be sold with a case included. I hate cases and have never put one on my phone--and have never had a phone break or crack.
