How many people dont use a case?

i currently am not using a case. i have the bodyguardz full body kit (but recently took off the screen part cuz it got some dog hair under it)
i like the way the screen feels naked despite the finger prints but whatever.

never dropped my epic yet. used to drop my iphone on a regular basis so im thinking about getting the seidio case +holster combo.

or maybe just the holster idk yet im confused as to what i should do

I didn't use a case for the first month and a half of getting the phone. Then I was sitting in my office one day showing something on my phone to my coworker and I dropped it. Bought a case that day (not the one I wanted)

Purchased the seidio surface, didn't like it, got the active. Love it.

I needed a case though. At work I have a high chance of dropping or slamming my phone around. It's the only time I've dropped my phone and 1 of maybe 3 times within the last few years of owning 2 bb's and now this phone.

I think subconsciously knowing there is a case on my phone I won't worry about dropping it as much so I won't drop it as much. I think I've dropped every phone I've owned once and nothing serious and nothing more, lol.

I have the Seidio case and Realook screen protector. I rather have a naked Epic. Just in case the rumored Nexus S/2 comes to Sprint or a 4" HTC phone comparable to the Epic comes out soon then I have a pretty mint Epic to sell thanks to the case and screen protector. Well that is how I think of it. If I know I am going to keep this phone for the whole 2-year contract then I would not get a case. I have insurance.

I don't, I am holding out for a case that makes the phone like a nonslider.

I never had a case before with my pre or centro but decided to buy the Best Buy rebrand of Seidio's case and holder. I dropped my phone 3 times (carpet) today getting it out of the holster in a hurry at work... go figure.

I never used cases then decided to get one for my just-received refurbished BlackBerry. It didn't fit properly and taking it off damaged the otherwise pristine phone.

Never again. If a phone gets scuffed over the 12-24 month ownership span, so be it. I'll be wanting a new device when I'm eligible anyway. It's not as if these skins and cases protect against the mishaps that truly render a phone useless...like car tires, toilets, and thieves.

yea ive dropped it but only on softer surfaces. never asphalt or concrete.
i was thinking about getting taht seidio innocase. does it put any bulk on it?
thats my concern. i bought a case from radioshack when i first got my phone, and there was only one case available and my dad suggested i buy it so i figured screw it i get 20% off it was only 15 bucks or so.

so true. i think im gonna keep it naked but i want the seidio holster cuz i hate putting my phone in and out of my pocket

 

[dchawk81]

Yeah I'm still up in the air about getting a holster. I used the one that came with my Blackberry a lot, but I also spent more money on that phone over the year of ownership than I should have and don't want to repeat that with the Epic.

 

[shaundizzle]

I know what you mean, i kind of want to get that seidio case but at the same time im probably not going to like it. i figure just keep it naked ive got insurance on it.
but i truly do think the holster will be a good investment. for me at least because i spend way too much time pulling my phone out of my pocket haha

Phones are big enough in my pockets without cases!

haha. +1

And I just use a screen protector. I have insurance on this phone, and when I had a case on my Pre I dropped it more often for some reason.
I'm also not sure how much cases actually help.

exactly, in response to phone big enough without case.
thats why i wanted to check out the seidio cases because i heard they add the least bulk out of any case. but then a case with no bulk probably provides no protection - or only to scratches. which in that case, my bodyguardz full body will be enough protection.

and i also have insurance so i feel confident i can go caseless : )

whats also nice is the back cover completely covers the back of the phone, so any major scuffs/cracks to the back can be replaced easily.
unlike the droid x, which battery cover is only a portion of the back

i don't... I do use a holster though.

What holster? I'm searching for one. I'm thinking of getting the seidio clip on eBay cuz I think its a good deal (20 vs 30 retail)

I use my phone a lot so taking it in and out of my pocket is more of hassle and risk of scratching it.

No case, I just put a screen protector on and that was it.

 

[nKoan]

I tried a case, but took it off after a day or two. I put on a screen protector, but that's all I'm planning on doing right now.

 

[lrn2swim]

no case but i did cover the whole thing with ghost armor. awesome. highly recommended if you have one of their locations near you.

I had my epic in a seidio innocase with realook protector. Now i just have the protector. I had the seidio for about 2 weeks, and i love my phone soo much more without it. It wasn't worth the money. It was bulkier than i expected and didn't feel any different than the one dollar ones on ebay. gonna order one of those to use when i'm outdoors or on the move.

 

[lancelot916]

just phanom skinz screen cover. I think back cover doesn't scratch. no damage yet. only if I drop it I guess...

 

[amnchode]

No case here....as far as I am aware, none of the cases work witht he dock, so I haven't even looked. This is only because I have not found a slip case like the one my Pre had. If I could find one of those, I would be all over it...

No screen protector either. Just make a conscience effort to ensure I don't put items in the same pocket can have a higher chance of scratching it (ie, keys). I had a Zagg my first Pre and really didn't care for it all that much. The screen always felt kinda "tacky". So, when I replaced it, I just "neglected" to put another one on.
