I use both a case and screen protector on my note plus I get insurance from Upsie. Anyone go naked? As many times as I have dropped my devices only once have I used the insurance the protection I use always worked.

I have never used a case, insurance, or screen protector (aside from the one pre-installed on the N10+). I have never broken a phone or ended up with a scratched screen (though I have gotten a few micro-scratches on the rear glass). Sure, I know it'll probably happen eventually. But by then, I will already have saved far more than the cost of a new phone (let alone the cost of a repair) simply by forgoing years of extra expense for protection. So I'll end up spending less money for the same benefits.

But that strategy only works for me because I am able to avoid dropping my phone (on average, I do so less than once a year, despite heavy indoor and outdoor use). If I couldn't manage that degree of safety, I would either put up with the additional cost of protection, or else settle for a less expensive phone.

Naked or with the Humixx slim/minimal case, it's the only one of the 3 cases I got that doesn't feel like adding any bulk to the phone.
I haven't tried a screen protector yet but got a few of them just to have in case I decide I need one.

Otterbox Defender Pro.

No screen protector. Keep the phone out of the pocket with other objects, never get scratches.

SquareTrade plan for $8.99/month with $149 deduct.

I have a supcase beetle exo case , a regular film protector, and I just use the Asurion insurance from att. I think it's like $9 or $10 a month.

As clumsy as I am I've never had to use the insurance to fix a cracked screen on any of my ohoned. If I did have to use the insurance my issues were normally software related.

Regardless if have no case or with cases. I always take good care of my phone. And I don't spend extra money to protect it since having these are expensive as it is. ;(

Insurance (AT&T umbrella policy), case, and screen protector always. I've never needed to use the insurance but I like knowing it's there since I have multiple phones.

Case and that's it. If it breaks for whatever reason I'll get it repaired instead of paying insurance/deductible or whatever. Never used insurance and never had any phones accidentally break before. All the money I have not paid for mobile insurance over the last decade can over many phone breakage for me. Moreover I keep my phone for 6-12 months the longest and never needed any insurance on top.
