This . . I realize some people need/want/like cases, so I'm not wanting to ding anyone for their choice, but here's where the logic broke down for me and I started going case-less . . .
1) "Dang, this is a beautiful phone, I'm going to put it in a case so it doesn't get scratched"
2) (puts case on phone) "There now it is protected from ever tarnishing it's beauty" (all the while it's beauty is covered by the case)
3) (takes case off to sell) "Dang that's a beautiful phone, a pleasure to hold as well"
4) Next person enjoys looking at and enjoying beautiful phone while I never did . . .
5) "Dang, why did I bother to baby this thing and hide it's beauty only to give it to someone else or put it in a drawer when the next big thing comes along?"
(I know, I know, resale value and all, but still . . .)
As I said, I know there are good reasons for cases, but especially since us enthusiasts change phones every year or two anyway, why not just enjoy it and use it . .
Edit/Add - The HTC U11 phone announced today is a perfect example, looks like an exquisite piece of fine jewelry. You'd be crazy to go without a case, but if its covered up it looks like every other phone in a case.
